On the date of my scheduled C section the hospital had too many emergencies and we were sent home and asked to come back two days later, which was the day after my due date. Annoying as this was (having to text/call everyone who was waiting for news of our new arrival and the fact… Read More

A few days before I went into hospital I had my hair done at the Trevor Sorbie Brighton salon, in the Lanes. I’d been a few weeks before for an evening to learn about some Catwalk hair styles coming this year (See further down the post!) and was invited in for a cut and colour,… Read More
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… Read More

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… Read More
