Available from the end of August, the collection comprises of six different products in a range of shades so you're bound to find something you'll love, the eyeshadow quad is what has my heart beating.

Pregnancy Diary Weeks 32-34

My second pregnancy diary installment has come around a lot quicker than expected! I am now 34 weeks and Splodge is the size of a Quokka, seriously Google it as you won't be disappointed. I wouldn't mind a baby and a Quokka to be completely honest. We have six weeks to go now and we've had a busy few weeks so buckle in guys, I'll try not to make it too long.

A Helping Hand with Aveda

With Breast Cancer Awareness month fast approaching, Aveda have released a limited edition Breast Cancer Awareness Hand Relief cream to raise money for the National Breast Cancer Foundation. Money from each tube purchased will go towards supporting cruelty free research into the most common form of cancer in woman. 

Exotic Escapes with Mandara Spa

Going to a spa every week isn't practical for many of us so the at home spa experience has become increasingly popular in recent years. I'm a huge fan of having the ultimate at home spa experience with some trustworthy products and I swear by Mandara Spa for those extra special days. The new Mandara Spa Exotic Escape Collection takes inspiration from the pampering spa rituals of Indonesia, featuring four products you're going to want to add to your bathroom shelf.

What's on Our Cosatto Easi Peasi Changing Table

Well this is exciting, our first piece of baby furniture! It feels like recent months have been building up to the moment we actually get the bigger stuff in and ready for Splodge and it feels so surreal. We ummed and ahhed for ages about a changing table, every book we read told us not to bother and people were quick to label it as an unnecessary purchase but I'm so glad we didn't listen. I'm so in love with our Cosatto Easi Peasi changing table.

Step into Scandinavia at Kupp

Kupp Southampton opened in July much to everyone's delight bringing a taste of Scandinavia to Southampton and we couldn't wait to see what all the hype was about. We are truly spoilt in Southampton when it comes to food, there is such a wide range available now in the new West Quay development that your only problem is choosing where to go! I'll help you out by putting Kupp at the top of your list...

The Illamasqua Aftermath Collection

When Illamasqua do makeup collections, boy do they get it right. The Aftermath Collection launches tomorrow featuring a mix of metallic shadows, glitter and the most beautiful lipsticks I think I've ever seen and you're not going to want to miss it. The collection features earthy tones, seductive reds and molten glitter, it makes me very excited for the colder months.

Beers, Burgers & Cocktails at Vospers

We are so spoilt for choice when it comes to food in Southampton and now we have some new eats opening up over the water! Vospers opened in Centenary Quay, Woolston last month serving up delicious burgers, tantalising cocktails and a range of beer so a group of us went down to see what it was all about. 

Pregnancy Diary Weeks 30-32

Throughout my pregnancy, I've shared a few of updates on how I've been feeling and what has been going on in my Hello Little One, My First Trimester and My Second Trimester posts. I'm firmly in my third trimester now and as I want to document the next few weeks in the lead up to Splodge's birth, I thought I'd up the posts a little and just have a chat.

The Decleor QVC bargain you don't want to miss!

Being a big fan of Decleor, I couldn't not share QVC's latest beauty deal with you all. I first discovered Decleor just over three years ago when a really good friend of mine started working for the company as a beauty therapist and they've stayed within my skincare routine ever since. For one day only, you can get your hands on an exclusive five piece collection from Decleor.

In My Mailbox

I really love watching unboxings on Snapchat and Youtube so seeing as I don't have a channel, I'm giving you a blog post instead. This isn't me showing off, I want this to be more of a quick and nosy post so please do let me know your thoughts in the comments. I like to pick out what I think you might like to see so I hope you enjoy...

Three Face Masks I Love

If there is one thing I love, it's a pamper evening with a face mask, bubble bath and good book. I have tried a number of masks over the years, some I've loved, some I've chucked out and some that keep finding their way back in my shopping basket so I thought I'd share three face masks that keep doing the rounds on my bathroom shelf at the moment.

The Exclusive Eve Babybox at Mothercare

A baby mattress is something we didn't really think about but when mattress specialists, Eve released the Eve Babybox, exclusive to Mothercare, our ears pricked up. We swapped our own mattress to an Eve mattress earlier this year and it was the best decision we made, so of course Splodge needed his very own for those milk drunk slumbers. The Eve Babybox is the ultimate gift for new parents so when the Fauna babybox arrived we were over the moon. Here is what is inside...

CAU Southampton

Arran and I spent a date night at Cau Restaurant for an evening of delicious food, yummy desserts and the chance to win a trip to Buenos Aires just by ordering some food! We first visited the new Cau Southampton branch back in January and couldn't wait to head back and try some new delights from the summer menu including some Heroes dishes.

My Baby Shower

We celebrated my baby shower at the end of July with my nearest and dearest and I had such an incredible day. My mum and sister did Pinterest proud with fun decorations, plenty of gypsophila and a sweetie table so I thought I'd share some photos from the day.
