Before the baby arrived (by the time you read this it will have a name, but this is a scheduled post) I’ve tried to eat out a bit more than normal, as I know meals out will be few and far between for a while! So here are a few ‘foodporn’ (search the hashtag on instagram one day, some delights…
Finished work to start maternity leave Went to Bournemouth for a work event & got an ‘outstanding contribution’ award, go me! Ate macaroons, lots of them! (at my work leaving party) Got really anaemic and had to nap lots along with horrible iron supplements, and then had something wrong with my liver function for a bit too.…
So today was my first official day of Maternity Leave. I kind of miss work already (I’ll explain in a sec…) but after driving three fairly hung-over colleagues home from Bournemouth (I made them get up and leave by 8am, after they crawled back to the hotel at 3.30am!) to Brighton I booked a cut and colour appointment for next…
Last week I had the amazing luxury of getting a full body massage, in the comfort of my own living room. So there was none of the normal feeling serene and then having to battle through crowds of people from wherever you had the massage to home, or worse still having to take public transport, and then by the time…
[.] … and I’m not just talking about the arrival of the sprog. In just over two months we’ll be moving house, which I am happy about (way cheaper/much newer flat/no wonky floors or mould/open plan living room & kitchen/2 bathrooms) but also a little worried about (moving with a 10 week old/sorting out what will fit from our currently large…
I was very kindly invited to visit the Nails inc bar in Debenhams (Churchill Square shopping centre) Brighton at the weekend for a manicure. Now I was meant to be having the denim mani, which looks like this: However once I had chatted bumps/genders with one of the technicians and sat down next to the huge array of other…
Over the last few weeks I’ve been sent a few foodie things to enjoy & review, and went to the Foodies Festival, so if you’re peckish read on! Bacon salt is a seasoning that tastes like bacon, funnily enough! However it is super healthy – it’s low sodium, zero calorie and zero fat, it’s suitable for vegetarians too. So far…
Owl print Dress: Newlook Maternity. Bag & Shoes: Barratts. Bow trim patent Ballerinas (available in black and cream too) Anna Smith Oilcloth Owl Satchel And the theme for this outfit is owls, quiet clearly! Barratts offered me the chance to review something from their website, and although I really wanted to get some outrageous shoes like this…
This is what happens when I ask Sam to take pictures… bump shots. Top H&M (not maternity, just bigger sized) and Skirt H&M Maternity. Shoes Peacocks. Also check out the trout pout on the right picture, it’s the only reason I left it in! This is what I wore when we ventured to the North coast of Cornwall, we…
Went to some ante natal classes, and met a knitted boob, and now know how to ‘milk’ myself :/ Had a manicure courtesy of the Powder Beauty Went to London to see Singing the Rain Turned 8 months pregnant with an ever growing bump (week 34 update/pics here) Got panicky about life in general at the start of the…
You Need:300 ml double cream 50g unsalted butter 280g good quality dark chocolate (70% or more ideally!) 2 tsp caster sugar 1 tsp vanilla extract And to decorate/taste: Rum, cocoa, and orange, and other decorations! I made these around Christmas time, completely forgot I was planning to blog about them, and then found the pictures in a random folder in…
My Wedding dress was from Phase 8 (if anyone is interested in buying it let me know, its a size 10) and I had terrible nightmares it wouldn’t fit round the just emerging baby-bump, but its very forgiving and a little stretchy. It had a gorgeous train, and my mum put in a ribbon and some tiny loops…
