I bought this last week with my Superdrug points, as I don’t actually need any more palettes (I have all the Sleek Palettes apart from the neon one, and i’m sure it’s only 80’s themed hen parties that buy that one…) but I figured spending points isn’t real money! Guess which one was taken with my phones beauty function…where’d…
Athena was completely nonplussed about our day trip to London a couple of weeks ago. I on the other hand was over the moon to go and finally meet with Catherine and Zoe, who I have been talking to online (about anything and everything) for ages now! The only downside was that our other chum Mary couldn’t make it…
As I wrote before, I am attempting to do my best to retain some sense of style now I’m a mother. As I’m unable to wear exactly what I want to due to still being bigger than I’ve decided to accessorise more. I’m a huge scarf fan, woolly ones, fabric ones, square ones or long ones… They can add colour…
Last week I had some GOOD burgers in Brighton. On Thursday night I had dinner with my friend Nick at the New Club (at the bottom of Preston Street) I’d heard rave reviews when it opened but then forgot all about it. I also wasn’t sure if it was baby friendly but it was (even a changing table…
I’ve decided to introduce a new series of blog posts whenever I reckon Athena has worn something extra nice… the kid has about 4 times more clothes than I do so expect a few ‘baby outfit of the day’ posts every so often! Leggings from NappyKind. These little leggings (that feel like tights) are so cute, especially the…
Yesterday by baby was four months old! At the last weigh in Athena was 14.3lbs, and is now rounder than ever before. She has fat little wrists with rolls all up her arms and legs. She’s lost a fair amount of hair and has a bald patch at the back, despite me hoping she wouldn’t but she’s not completely bald…
Thursday just gone I had a lovely evening with lots of other Brighton Bloggers at Graze (had heard great things but never been before) hosted by Chobani, who make natural healthy yoghurt, and have THE loveliest PR ladies. Now this was the first time I had been out for dinner without the baby and hadn’t been driving, so I…
As part of my ‘anti slummy mummy’ project I decided to treat my feet. Seeing as I now hardly drive anywhere (and walk what must be miles each week with the baby) my poor feet needed some TLC, especially since they’re about to be ensconced in tights and boots for the winter! Anyway I decided to have a pedicure,…
In the first week of September we took a trip to Parham House in Sussex as Sam’s dad had come down to visit us and see Athena again, it was such a glorious day that we wanted to go somewhere and enjoy the sun! Parham House is run independently so it cost us less to get in than a National…
September has literally flown by in a blur of slightly chillier weather, lonely evenings and watching box sets (Suburgatory, The Killing, Criminal Minds and Sabrina, in case you’re interested!) Also, the final episode of Dexter… what the heck!? Sam’s dad came to visit for a day and we went to a country house, I had a couple of lunches…
When I found out I was expecting a baby one of the first things I decided (other than to dress the baby as a penguin at Christmas) was that being a mama wouldn’t change me. How wrong I was! It’s changed me in lots of ways, but for now I’m going to concentrate on how I look. I spent…
…yet some of us don’t have the option of staying inside and snoring. I’ve realised I am not that equipped for wet weather! I have a short rain coat that doesn’t cover my bum and that’s it. No idea where my brolly went to, even. So after spending two days inside due to torrential rain at the start of the…
