Creative Play

Hi Folks,

Christmas is just around the corner… so I’ve decided to put together a little blog of our fave new toys this festive season. The boys have been having fun trying & testing out some lovely creative toys. Being creative through play is our absolute fave!

Connetix Magnetic Tiles

I have to say these magnetic tiles have been such a huge hit! I can honestly say that they are played with daily. The tiles themselves are perfect for little hands to use. They’re also come in a variety of pastel colours. There is no end of structures & shapes that you can create. The boys have built 3D towers, houses, castles… etc… to lots of 2D pictures. They also come in a lovely sturdy box thats great for storing the tiles when not in use.

We have the 120 piece set. But you can also purchase add on’s to make your collection bigger. The recommended age for the tiles is 3+. You can check out the full range here.

Hey Doodle

When we live in such a digital society… it’s sometimes nice to get back to basics. Hey Doodle offer a range of sustainable & educational wipe-clean silicone activity mats for children ages 2-7. We have the Hey Doodle Tales Old MacDonald Had a Farm Book. It’s very cute & comes with a lovely set of 12 Hey Doodle Markers. The book consists of 8 reusable colouring pages. And it comes in a lovely keepsake box to store it in. We’ve had lots of fun being creative with the colours & adding to the story. It’s great for igniting the imagination of little ones.

This really would make a lovely gift this Christmas. To re-use, simply use a damp cloth to wipe clean.

Geomag

The boys have been having some much fun creating & playing with their Geomag Sets. They have the Mechanics & the Original.

These sets are great for playing together or solo play. It really tested the boys creativity & hand eye coordination. This is definitely a Roy that can be played with over & over again. And also you can add to it to be able to make bigger structures.

All of the links to the toys are tagged above.

I just cannot believe it’s almost Christmas!!!!

Thanks so much for reading!!!

Sweet Smelling Bargains

Hi Folks,

It’s been a while since my last blog post… I will write a post up as to why I’ve been on a bit of a blogging hiatus. But until then… I have a lovely little review for you.

My lovely friend has sent me a gorgeous box of goodies to try. The box was full of FM Fragrance loveliness. I’ve embedded the FM Fragrance website link so you can have a little read about them if you’re not familiar with the company. I first became introduced to FM around a year ago & since then I’ve been a happy customer. I’ll admit in the beginning I was very apprehensive to try the fragrances purely as I love perfume & just did not think a cheaper alternative would appeal to me. But you know what… I’m happy to admit I was wrong. The fragrances are beautiful & smell just like our high end faves. They also last all day.

So… what was in the box?

FM 489 Pheromone – This retails for around £18. This scent is just like Thierry Mugler Alien. This is one of my signature perfumes… I’ve been wearing it for years. In Boots this will normally costs £80. So the FM saving is massive. With the cost of living rising – I personally can’t justify an £80 spend on perfume. This week alone – 3 people have commented on my perfume. One person said “Alien is my fave” & another said “You smell lovely – is it Alien?” They literally smell the same.

FM 910 Perfumed Hand Spray – This retails for around £18. Okay, so another of my most fave fragrances is by Francis Maison Kurkdijan… now for the smallest bottle you’re looking at £120 for around 35ml at Harvey Nichols. Super pricey – but smells divine. This sanitising hand spray smells just like it. I have also had this scent in the FM Royal too. It’s one of my top ones to buy. I get so many compliments when I wear it. The hand spray is great for keeping in your hand bag. It’s not sticky or tacky either – perfect for on the go & the stunning scent is an added bonus.

FM Body Spray – Love this! Never tried the body sprays before. This is a unisex one & great for a quick spritz throughout the day… especially when you’re run ragged on the school runs etc… again this retails for around £18… which you may think is a little pricey for a body spray… but it’s highly perfumed & lasts.

Make Up Remover – This make up remover is lovely & mild. It retails for around £10 & it is 150ml. I have sensitive skin & I also wear contact lenses, so the fact this doesn’t make me super red or sore is a massive plus for me. I’m always very wary of make up removers & creams etc… because of my sensitive skin – but this was perfect. I wear make up daily… & I don’t go for a natural look lol. So there’s always plenty that needs to be removed on a nighttime. This removed all traces with ease.

Pillow Mist – I LOVE THIS!!! I’ve never tried the pillow mist before & in all honesty it’s something I never would’ve purchased myself… but now I will!!! It’s utterly gorgeous. I went round & sprayed everyone’s beds & honestly the whole of my upstairs smelled so gorgeous & fresh. It’s really really lovely. This retails for around £18. You only need 2 spritz’s so it should last a good while. The smell seems to hang in the air of the whole bedroom. You won’t be disappointed.

Air Freshener – I’ve popped this in the car. Smells lovely & I’m pretty sure I can smell it outside of the car before I’ve opened the door lol. Really nice scent & it’s only £4.50.

Wardrobe Fragrance – Love this. We have built in wardrobes so I’ve popped this right in the middle of them. It smells so nice & you can actually smell it throughout the whole room. Like the air freshener, this retails for £4.50 – such a bargain!

I’ve added all the current RRP’s above, but you can add Kirsty’s Facebook Page where she updates regularly with current offers & deals. So you’re likely to be able to get all of the above at a bargain price now & then. She’ll also be able to point you in the right direction of purchasing etc… Kirsty’s Fragrance Page.

As always – thank you for reading & will be updating again very soon.

The Importance of Self Care

Hi folks,

As a Mammy, it’s sometimes very easy to forget about yourself. I think the main thing I’m gonna take away from this whole pandemic experience is that self care is so important. You might not always have the time or the funds to run off to the closest spa or salon. But we need to find the time to paint our nails or do our hair… or anything that makes you feel good about yourself.

Over the last 9 month I’ve been working on the inside. I’ve been working on getting myself healthier, stronger, fitter & leaner. And I’ve started finding a little extra time for the beauty side of things too.

My hair is so super long & think, it actually doesn’t really get greasy at all. So I only wash my hair once a week. I love washing my hair, blow drying it & then straightening it. Nothing beats the feeling of silky smooth fresh hair. But there is nothing worse than having styling tools that either; take too long, ruin your hair or cost far too much.

I only ever use SHE Hair styling tools. They don’t damage my hair. They’re quick & efficient. They’re so affordable. I LOVE them!!!! I used to be a GHD girl, but after buying a third pair of them, they were vastly over priced, snagged & broke my hair off & they always felt like they were overheating. Never again would I purchase GHD.

So here’s a run down of my fave styling tools from SHE.

SHE Supersonic Dryer

I have the dryer in Fuchsia & I’ve also got the Cobalt Blue. Both amazing. They’re as good as each other & they come with any attachment you’d need. The flex is nice & long & it’s super lightweight. It really does reduce frizz when blow drying.

https://www.flickr.com/photos/156200586@N06/51237733427/in/dateposted-public/

My hair is very curly, but after blow drying – it really does reduce the bushiness of my hair making it easier & quicker to straighten.

SHE Evo Hot Brush

This is great for quick styling! I can get my hair smooth & straight in like 10 to 15 minutes. If you’re looking for a quick fix on a morning – this is definitely for you. I was very sceptical about this product I have to say. I really didn’t think it’d work on my hair with it being so thick & long. But it just glides through my hair. The bristles are like teeny ceramic plates. You also get to choose the heat setting, which means it’s perfect for any hair type.

It comes with a heat resistant travel pouch. It’s perfect for taking to work or on holiday.

Original Gold Wide Styler

Love this straightener. Like the Hot Brush, this comes with a temperature gauge. Being able to choose your temperature, means it’s fine to use on extensions & super fine hair. I tend to use it on 180 but it goes all the way up to 220. Perfect for quick styling & getting that super sleek finish that lasts.

This is my go to straightener right after washing my hair. Purely because the plates are big & takes less time when straightening.

Ice White Ceramic Straightener.

These straighteners look so pretty & look so fancy. These are my everyday straightener. I use them every morning to just run over my hair. They’re also great for creating waves & curls. Again like the gold & the hot brush, this styler comes with a temperature gauge.

So, right now, SHE Hair have £10 off across their range! Just use code: Summersale at checkout. You can also buy via Amazon too. Simply click the discount box at checkout. But be quick as this is a limited time offer. To buy the Evo Hot Brush for just £39.99 you can buy here from Amazon. That’s a whopping £90 off the RRP!!!

They’re also running a competition too right now across their social media on Facebook, Instagram & Twitter!

I’ve added all of the links to the products if you’d like to find out more or go shop!

Thanks so much as always for reading.

Finding ‘me’ again.

Hi folks,

Wow I hadn’t realised just how long it had been since I last wrote a post. I really do not know where the time is going. This year seems to be flying by. I’m just so happy that restrictions are easing & that things seem to be getting back to some kind of normality.

Over the last 8 month I feel like I’ve been on a bit of a journey to finding ‘me’ again. I can officially say that I have now lost 4 stone 8lbs since September 2020. I can’t just blame the lockdowns or the pandemic for my weight gain… I’ve been steadily gaining since having Seth, my oldest. He’s now 5 years old. So for just over 4 year I have been gaining weight. It’s easy to lose yourself a bit I think, to parenthood. I love being a Mammy so much. My whole being is just focussed on my boys. And in doing that… I just forgot about me. Rather than looking after my self the way I should… I allowed myself to fall into bad habits with food.

I had a massive wake up call at the end of August 2020 when my hubster took some photo’s & I just hated what I saw… I just hated that I’d allowed myself to creep up to a size 20 at 17 stone 7lbs. Even at 5ft 7′ tall… I couldn’t carry it off. And I was starting to really experience pain in my lower back & my right leg that I’ve had rebuilt. In that moment – I knew I needed to change. But I also knew that I couldn’t go back to Slimming World. For personal reasons… Slimming World is not a healthy group for me to be around.

After some research I decided that Calorie Deficit was the way forward. I didn’t need to eliminate any food groups – I could literally eat what I wanted in moderation. After trying a few apps to help me along the way to track calories & activity, I found the PERFECT one! Nutracheck It’s so user friendly. It connects to my FitBit so it updates all of my activity levels. The catalogue of food on the app is amazing & its constantly being updated.

I have the app set to lose 1lb per week. I’m aiming for slow steady loses that I can maintain in the long term. I’m currently in a size 14… I feel so much healthier.

I feel so much fitter in general. I can do so much more activity with my boys. I’ve even found a new passion & love for hiking!!! As someone who has had their right leg rebuilt & had intense physio to walk again… I never ever thought I’d be wearing hiking boots. I’m working toward climbing Snowden & then the Three Peaks. I could cry just writing that! I feel like a whole new me!

It’s exciting to be able to say that I have less that 2 stone to go until I hit my goal now. I’m aiming for 11 stone. Ideally I want to be a size 10/12. 11 stone for my height is perfect. I’m currently having between 1500-1600 calories daily. I’m generally only drinking alcohol on a weekend, unless it’s a special occasion etc… Over this weight loss journey I’ve allowed myself daily treats such as chocolate. I’ve also had take out, cake etc… I’m just being mindful in my choices & trying to stick within my calorie allowances. I really do not feel restricted at all.

I’m enjoying cooking so much more these days… everything just looks so bright & colourful & pretty!

I feel like food is delicious & exciting again. It’s not just the same old beige food out of the freezer. Plus I feel like I’m finally being a good a healthy role model for my boys. The boys have so much energy & being able to go for walks every day with them is amazing. Enjoying exercise is something I never thought I’d be able to say.

I use a lot of the Spicentice meal kits. They’re utterly delicious, easy to use & they’re such a great price. If you use the code: IXXYP10 at checkout you can get 10% off. Also, there is no limit on how many times you use my code.

I’ll be blogging more frequently about my journey to a healthier me to keep you all updated on my progress. This isn’t a quick fix for me… this a total life make over.

Thanks so much as always for reading for always being super supportive!

Pandemic Parenting

Hi folks,

Well… I’m going back to basics with this post. Talking about me & what life is like at the moment. I’d better just tell you now… this is a bit of a pity party post. This pandemic has got me so up & down. I am the social media junkie… I use it for work… for keeping in touch with family & friends… I use it for many aspects of my life. I love to plan & organise. I love an occasion. If there is anything happening in the calendar that can be transformed into some kind of celebration – I’m literally all over it! I’m all about having fun & making EVERYTHING fun. I’m all about decorations & parties. But wow… this pandemic is really starting to take its toll.

I’m a stay at home/work from home Mama. We have no family that live around us. So while the hubs goes out to work… I stay home. While Seth (4) is in school, Ted is home with me (2). I love my life. Pre-Covid we had a great routine. My down time would be going to get my nails done or my eyebrows. Going for a drink with the girls. With no kids in tow. I did try a few nights away with no kids – but my separation anxiety was shocking.

Now… let’s skip to March 2020… lockdown happened. That meant no beauty appointments… no drinks with the girls & no seeing family. Since March 2020 I’ve had 1 nail appointment & maybe 2 trips to the shop completely on my own. Oh & 1 social distanced afternoon with a friend over sparkles. So in almost a year I’ve had maybe 5hrs to myself. I never get to have a walk on my own, never an mind afternoon to myself… nothing.

We have been lucky that over this pandemic my husband had been able to continue to work. But then, that also means I’m solo parenting for like 8hrs of the day while homeschooling too. We have no childcare bubble.

There really isn’t any point to this blog post – other than to feel sorry for myself. At this point I just feel so unbelievably overwhelmed, emotional & run down. Since having my youngest I’ve had some health issues which just aren’t going away but being prodded & poked by a gynaecologist isn’t ranking high on my wish list of things to do right now.

Anyone else just craving a night away?

Things could be so much worse, I know, but it still doesn’t help when you just feel so worn out. My coping mechanism is just throw glitter on stuff. Make it happy & sparkly. I think my recent weight loss/lifestyle change has helped loads because it gives me something else to focus on & I do love a project. But I just just feel this overwhelming ache of loss for life before Covid. I’m always the person looking after people & reaching out to make sure everyone is okay. And I think in doing that, people think you’re totally tickety boo & maybe forget to check in with you. This is not “a please send me hearts & chocolates” post plea… it’s just a… well I don’t know what it is. I guess it’s a post to let people know – we’re all struggling. It’s not a competition to see who is struggling the most. It’s just a post about how unbelievably crap the world is right now.

My family are my little life world. They’re my happy place. But wow… I just need a break with preferably a glass of sparkles & conversation that doesn’t involve Bing, Blippi or Ryan.

If you’re feeling this way too – it will get better. Surely this pandemic is coming to some kind of end. I never thought I’d see the day that I actually whole heartedly missed soft play!

If you made it this far… thanks for reading.

If you’re feeling this way too – it’s totally fine to feel like that. Scream & shout & have a cup of tea. And if you have no one to talk too – drop me a message. Please don’t feel alone.

Sending out much love & Huggles,

Stay safe,

Looking Good in Lockdown

Hi folks,

Wow… what a start to the year! I’m just so glad that January is over… It was a looooooong month! I’m on a huge health kick at the moment. But as well as wanting to feel good on the inside… I really want to look good on the outside too.

My hair seems to have grown loads in the last few month. Lots of people always ask me how its so shiny. I’ve not dyed my hair since 2015. It’s probably in the best condition its been in for years. I think a combination of a good healthy diet, drinking lots of water & good styling tools are key.

This last week I’ve been trying out the new Wide Ceramic Stylers from SHE Hair. They’re simply stunning. They come in Original Gold & Ice White.

The wide plates are perfect for long thick hair. They glide so effortlessly whilst covering a larger surface area. The dual huge is perfect too for a comfortable glide. I honestly can not stand a straightener that tugs & snags your hair. These stylers are perfect. I use straighteners everyday, so i need something that I can trust to not damage my hair with snagging, snapping or overheating.

So… how did they do?

I decided to take a pic half way through straightening my hair… so oneside is perfectly straight & one side isn’t.

Theres such a big difference between the before & after. They straightened so quickly.

These straighteners go up to 220, but I used them on 180. That heat was perfect for my hair type.

I love the variable temperature option on these stylers. All hair types are covered when you can choose the optimum temperature for your hair type. They’re also compatible with extensions.

Once my hair was fully straightened… my hair was so soft & super shiny! After washing my hair I always use my She Hair Supersonic Hair Dryer in Cobalt Blue & Gold. Its so amazing at reducing a lot of my natural frizz. The wide stylers really speeded up the straightening time… I’m in love! Together – they’re the ultimate combo.

I’ve said this before, but I’ll say it again: why on earth anyone would spend double the amount for GHD or Cloud 9 is utterly beyond me! These styling tools really are the best.

The RRP on these new stylers is £139.99… but right now theres a massive £70 off!!!! And if you use code: valentines you’ll get an additional £5 off! And that includes FREE SHIPPING!!! Such an amazing deal. Perfect for a treat to yourself or to that special Valentine.

You really don’t want to its out on this fantastic deal.

I hope you’ve found this review useful. I’m in the process of updating my website at the moment… so once thats up & running – I’ll be doing a big reveal.

Thanks so much as always for reading!

The Magic of Christmas

Hi folks,

I’ve got that festive feeling. I know this year has been… bumpy shall we say. I also know it’s not going to be the Christmas we’re used too. I mean… for the last 8yrs we’ve gone to Center Parcs for Winter Wonderland & this year we can’t. Our holiday has been cancelled. Normally in December we visit Santa each weekend. Normally in the first week of December, Santa rides passed our house in his sleigh playing Christmas music. Normally in December we spend time with family. Normally on Christmas Eve we have breakfast with Santa & then have a Christmas Disco. Unfortunately… 2020 is not going to be the Christmas we ‘normally’ have. But you know what? For all it’s really sad… it’s just an opportunity to make new ‘normals’ or ‘traditions’ at Christmas.

We started the festive period wth a lovely delivery from Santa. Seth received the most gorgeous letter, certificate & activity book from The Lapland Mailroom.

Seth couldn’t believe it when the letter dropped through the door for him. He was super excited!!! He was even more excited when he seen the certificate!

The letter itself was utterly gorgeous. When choosing your letter online, you can add little personal touches such as your home town & best friend etc… Seth was utterly gobsmacked that his best friend Holly was mentioned in the letter.

In the pack, Seth also received the activity pack, which included a window sticker. Such amazing value for money. The letters & certificates are lovely quality & delivery was really quick. What a lovely keepsake. This will definitely being going into our memory box.

While we can’t got about our ‘normal’ lives… it’s time to make new amazing memories during a crazy year. I love that this letter is dated Christmas 2020… it most definitely is a year we will not forget. However… my babies will remember what an amazing Christmas they had & little touches like these gorgeous letters are just the icing on the cake.

If you’d like order, I have a discount code for 25% off!!! just enter code: BLITZEN at checkout.

Thanks so much as always for reading!

Why Pay More?

Hi folks,

Hair… we all spend so much time on our hair. Washing it… drying it… styling it…. etc… And wow, do some brands exploit our love for our locks. Some of the prices right now on the market are crazy. Brands charging the earth for a styler or dryer. But why are people paying such huge prices? Sometimes I think that people are scared to try a new brand or simply because they feel brand loyal.

Imagine being able to get a better quality styler with amazing results for almost half the price? Well, you can. I am a HUGE fan of SHE Hair. I’ve been using SHE Hair styling tools for around 6 or 7 years now. Back in the day I was a massive GHD fan, until my straighteners broke. So I went to the shops to purchase a new GHD Iron. They were well over £100 & they pulled & snagged my hair so badly. I felt literally stuck… where did I go from here? I have such long thick hair – I need a hair straightener I can rely on.

I’d seen online & heard good things about the SHE Hair Straighteners... so I bite the bullet & I purchased a pair. I’ve never looked back. I’ve been brand loyal to SHE Hair ever since.

These last few weeks I’ve been trying the New Ice White Styler which is a reincarnation of the original 3.1b straightener. I’m in love.

First of all… they’re gorgeous to look at & come in a lovely box & very well packaged. I’d also like to add that delivery is free too. I always like to mention the packaging, because it’s the first thing you see. Good packaging always makes a big difference.

I love that you can choose the temperature best suited to your hair type. After trying them… I’ve decided 180 best suits my hair.

Being able to set the temperature yourself is great for anyone with very fine hair or extensions.

The floating ceramic plates are perfect for minimising any type of dragging or snagging. That is a huge deciding feature for me. Any snagging or dragging & it’s an instant no no from me. But this styler is perfect. It glides so smoothly through my hair.

It took hardly no time at all to get my hair perfectly smooth & straight. The ultra-smooth ceramic plates with far-infrared heat are loaded with more negative Ions, this repairs over charged positive Ion damaged hair, reducing frizz and providing better, longer lasting results. It all sounds very technical doesn’t it. But when you use a styler/straightener every day, you want to feel confident with it. The dual hinge also allows for movement on both the styling arms, which again helps to avoid dragging.

Now… here’s the exciting bit… They’re priced at just £89.99 with free delivery. So whether you’re treating yourself or someone else for Christmas… it doesn’t have to break the bank.

Also… SHE Hair have a fab range of accessories too.

If you want to find out more about this fab company, you can read here.

Thank you as always for reading & hope you’ve enjoyed tis review.

“Reading is a Passport to Countless Adventures” – Mary Pope Osborne

Hi folks,

Wow… can you believe the kids go back to school this week? I feel so emotional about Seth starting full time school. He’s super excited & is taking it all in his stride. Me on the hand… I’m an emotional wreck. I’m really going to miss him. But I know he needs not only the education side of things… but also the social aspect too.

We’ve done learning from home over this pandemic/lockdown, so I’m not too worried about the learning side.  And we have always been avid readers so I know his literacy is progressing.

From the moment Seth & Ted were born I’ve read to them. In fact, while I was pregnant I actually read to them. I watched a documentary about pregnancy & they said that babies can start to recognised texts when read over & over. I love that. My boys both love books & listening to stories. Ted gets so excited when he turns the pages to see new pictures.

The boys were sent the most gorgeous books from Wonderbly.

Ted is 22 month old & was sent: “The ABC of You”. You can add your childs name & change the colour of the front cover. Each page is totally personalised for your little one. I love the illustrations. The quality of the book is absolutely stunning. The cover is hardback & the pages are made from beautiful thick paper. Perfect for little hands to navigate.

I also love that you can customise & personalise the first page with a cute little message. These books are something that will be treasured by your little ones. I received a personalised book for christmas one year when I was a child from my God Parents & I still have it on my bookshelf.

Seth was sent: “You & the Beanstalk”. This is a lovely little re-telling of a classic. Seth was so mesmerised when he realised he was in the story. Seth is 4 yrs old. He literally could not believe he was the main character.

Seth loves seeing his name in his reading corner.

As with Ted’s book, this book can be personalised & you can also personalise the first page.

Seth has such an amazing creative personality & is always looking for adventures. This book fits him perfectly.

If you’re looking for that perfect gift – look no further than these stunning books. Right now, Wonderbly have 20% off when you buy 2 books. Just use code: MULTI20 at checkout. Books can be shipped worldwide & dispatch is within 48hrs.

We have had so much fun reading these beautiful books.

Thank you as always for reading & I hope you’ve enjoyed this review.

“Together is a Wonderful Place to Be.”

Hi Folks,

We’re trying our hardest to try & make life more normal here in our house. Now that we can see family members… we’re making plans & trying to plan days out for the kids, since we’ve had to cancel our Summer getaway. Things like seaside days out, strawberry picking, picnics etc…

Planning is always so much more fun when you have pretty pens & a Personal Planner or Family Wall Planner. Every year I have a Family Wall Planner made for us from Personal Planner. I love them soooooo much! They really are the best planners around.

With each Personal Planner or Wall Chart – you will get a sheet of stickers. Great for high lighting special arrangements. Another great feature is that you can upload all of your important dates, birthdays & anniversary’s. So each year you don’t have to go through writing in all of the dates… with one click everything uploads. It’s utterly perfect – I hate the task of the laborious date writing. So this handy little feature scraps all of that.

The family wall planner has enough room for each individual family member. They get their own colour coordinated section & photograph. Perfect for logging school dates, play dates & trips to the vet… of course our Chihuahua Coco has her own section on the family wall planner.

The most exciting & fun aspect of these lovely planners is that you literally design it all yourself. So it’s a perfect fit for you & your life. Whether you want it to aid with your studies, or if you need it to help with organising your office at home whilst working from home or like me… you want to plan fun family days out… Personal Planner has you covered.
