Powder– Vintage beauty!

I was invited to a ‘nails & wine’ night at Powder Beauty last week in association with Gallo Wines, and although couldn’t partake in the wine, very much partook in the nails part of the event! I had my nails done by Rachel, and ever indecisive, couldn’t choose one colour so went for thumb/4th finger accents.   Both colours were…

In which I master false eyelashes & a maternity outfit

     Face: MAC studio sculpt in NW20, with benefits Hello Flawless  (the powder version) in Champagne to set. Bobby Brown shimmer brick to contour and highlight. Unfortunately my face is darker than my neck :/ Eyes: Maybelline colour tattoo in pink gold all over, with Benefit skinny jeans creaseless cream shadow in the sockets and lower lash line, black…

Afternoon tea at Food for Friends

  Going back to work after a three day weekend is hard, but for me it was made much better by heading to Food for Friends (in the Lanes) for a cream tea when I finished work (and it was a pretty stressful day, they all seem to be actually…) Food for friends don’t just do your bog standard (not…

How to get a good nights sleep & mini bedroom tour

  For me sleep has become a vital part of my day (or two parts, as I have gone from frequent to prolific napper since getting to 8 months pregnant!) I remember when I first did a ‘blogger Q&A’ type post for someone else’s blog way back when I started blogging, one of the questions was ‘where is your favourite…

Singing in the Rain… & London

       I had a busy Bank holiday weekend planned (including working on Good Friday, BOO!) but when both people I had plans with on Saturday cancelled, then the person I had plans with Sunday evening cancelled I then spent Saturday dozing, with a night out with Sam’s work colleagues that night, and on Sunday we went to see…

In March I… & an outfit

      Possibly the most boring outfit ever, apologies in advance! Skirt: H&M Mama, T Shirt: Newlook maternity, Cardigan: Primark, Converse, To be worn again, Scarf, Portobello rd Market Attempting to remain stylish whilst being comfortable when you’re 7 months up the duff is difficult to say the least. If money was no object then of course it wouldn’t…

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…

  Went for quite a lot of cake and tea with various people Went to a blow drying master class at Trevor Sorbie Met Rosie, Suzie & Lisa in person, all lovely! Saw Die harder again (or whatever its called, it was crap) and This is 40 (better, but long!) at the cinema Drove hundred of miles round the country…
