Lottie London Shimmer Squad Holographic Haul

Not too long ago, highlighter wasn't in my most used makeup items. It's only been recent years that I've really made the most of that sun catching glow and I can assure you, I've made up for it. I have a whole drawer dedicated to my highlighter loving needs nowadays, just call me a magpie. The latest glowing lovely on my radar is the Shimmer Squad palette by Lottie London and if you like a bargain, you'll love this... 

Pixi MatteLast Liquid Lips

Trying to find my style again when it comes to make up since having Joshua has been more difficult than I realised and who knew some mums can be so judging because you've put a bit of slap on? It's a ball this parenting lark, I'll tell ya! So in the spirit of bold lips and not giving a F, I present to you some matte lip shades that really are worth your time, even at £16 each.

WIN Big with Bodyform VIP Pink Ticket

Winter is really dragging a bit now isn't it? I'm so over dark mornings, ice and the temperature being below freezing. I need sunshine, promises of summer getaways and a festival or two. With Summer edging that little bit closer, Bodyform, legendary protectors of our lady bits, have the ideal campaign and all you need to do is pick up a pack of sanitary towels to be in with a chance of winning.

Barry M Liquid Chrome Highlighter Drops

I never quite feel complete until I've dusted on some highlighter. I have a huge collection of powders, creams and liquids because I cannot get enough of that glowing finish so the Liquid Chrome collection of highlighters by Barry M had my name all over them. There are five gorgeous shades to choose from or you could get them all like me. Take a closer look...

Brunching at Vospers Southampton

My weekends are spent brunching in various locations around Southampton and I am more than happy with this so when a new location pops up with a banging brunch menu, I need to try it. Southampton Bloggers hosted another wonderful brunch this month, this time at Vospers Woolston where the plan included lots of blog chat over coffees, pancakes and a few mimosas. What a way to start the weekend!

Blown Blow Dry Bar Southampton

If I had unlimited funds, one thing I would treat myself to weekly is a blow dry. It would mean having bouncy, swishy hair all the time plus I wouldn't have to wash it myself which is my most hated chore when it comes to my beauty routine. Blow dry bars have been making a name for themselves in recent years and Southampton finally has one of their very own, Blown. 

Be My Sweetheart?

The day of love is fast approaching and before we know it, we'll be surrounded by red roses, clouds of pink and the notes John Paul Young's love is in the air playing in the background. In the honour of all things pink and lovely, Ghost have released The Sweetheart Forever gift box which houses the beautifully feminine perfume, the ideal gift this Valentine's Day. 

Kat Von D Everlasting Lipstick in Hawkwind

When it comes to liquid lipsticks, my all time favourites are by Kat Von D. I shared my liquid lipstick collection last year and because I'd been too busy growing a small human and buying baby clothes, my liquid lip addiction was put on the back burner so I had no new shades to share until now.

Why Our Three Month Old has Soya Milk

The week I shared My Breastfeeding Journey was the same week everything came to head with Joshua's milk problems and suspected allergy. I think part of me wonders whether we would be having the problems we have had if I'd been breastfeeding but we'll never know that. Quick disclaimer, we are FULLY aware soya milk is not recommended for babies under six months old due to studies into reproduction and the phytoestrogens which are naturally found in the soya plant. We have done a lot of research into this before making our decision with the support of our health visitor. Also note, that all babies are different and if you think your baby may have an allergy speak to a GP or health visitor.
