Benefit FakeUp

  A little while ago I went to an evening to celebrate the launch of Benefits new super-duper concealer ‘Fake Up’. We were told about the product, what it does and what it can be used for, but I wanted to use it long enough to formulate a proper opinion before I blogged about it! We were given all three…

In which I talk about nails

   [all pre acrylics removal, boo] So about 2 months ago I went and had my acrylics taken off. It was a sad sad day, I’d had acrylics for over 2 years. I know they’re no good for your nails, but they were always all the same length, with near square tips and they rarely broke. However in a bid…

Food glorious food!

  I love food, but don’t write about it enough. There are a couple of reasons for this at present, the first being that I rarely cook for anyone other than me (husband works evenings mostly!) and the second being that I am mostly eating biscuits and porridge at the moment, so nothing too thrilling to write about! Anyway, here…

In which I go to Banham Zoo

Back in February I took my husband to Banham Zoo, (in Norfolk) in the cold and sleety weather as a birthday treat! It’s a bit of a tradition for us, last year we went to Frankfurt Zoo in the cold and sleety weather on my birthday. We’ll take the sprog to the Zoo for its birthday when it arrives, but…

In which I wear Aztec, and lose my mojo

  Dress: Topshop maternity, Leggings: Newlook Maternity. Cardigan: ancient H&M. Crazy hair: uncontrollable. You can’t really tell but they have a ‘pleather’ stripe down the side of the leg… Only my 2nd outfit post since getting pregnant, but my wearable wardrobe has shrunk to about 10% of its previous pre-bump size & I’m living in PJs most of the time…

In February I…

Seascape UK & attempting to relax

‘The middle trimester is the honeymoon period’ or so the saying goes. Well it may be, but if so then I dread to think what the next three months will bring! In fact I have a pretty good guess, I’m already struggling with walking at more than a snails pace, and get ‘bump strain’ when I walk up hills or…

50 random facts

I was going to film a video for this, but the sheer thought of editing out all the bits where I look at the screen to read what I want to say bored me to death, so typed it is! If you make it all the way through then good on you, and PLEASE link me to any similar posts/vids…

In which I have a busy week

  Last week I spent a hectic week driving round half the UK seeing friends and family, it was a lovely week but we packed a lot in so didn’t really get any ‘down time’ so subsequently I spent this weekend hibernating and feeling exhausted! Sam has his driving test this week though so fingers crossed he passes and we…

Trevor Sorbie Blow Masterclass

  Last Tuesday I spent a very enjoyable evening at Trevor Sorbie, in Brighton’s Lanes. (Their website is here) We were shown how to create three hair styles, straight with volume at the roots, managing curly hair, and Glam but natural. A stylist demonstrated each style on a model, taking it in turns to talk and demonstrate, which meant we…

Current Location: At Sam’s mums house in Norfolk Day job: Hotel Manager Silly dream job: Interior Designer for hotels and…

In which I make Merlot Sorbet

A couple of weeks ago I was sent a bottle of Barefoot Merlot, and a recipe for sorbet which was created by the people at a lovely little cake shop in Brighton’s Lanes called Cloud 9. Obviously being pregnant I only had a little taste, and gave the rest to my Husband and our housemate for consumption  but the verdict…
