5 Quotes I love

I'm not sure why but I have a thing about quotes at the moment. Perhaps I need that extra push that you get from inspirational words so that I can stay positive and keep my life on track. They definitely do inspire me and challenge me to look at things in different ways, so I want to share my favourites. Enjoy!

5 city breaks I'd like to take

There is something exhilarating about jumping in the car or hopping on a plane and taking off for a weekend away somewhere new. We've decided to take more mini breaks rather than one big holiday per year as I think you get to experience a lot more things and it's easier to keep to a budget. In December, we went to Brussels in Belgium which you can read about here. We were there only for the day but we had a great time taking a chilled out walk around the city. We also went to a very cool museum whilst we were there which was fun for both us and the kids.

Here are some more places I'd like to visit...

Most used lip products

In the aftermath of the festive season, many of us are tightening our belts and trying to budget as much as possible. I have noticed many bloggers having spend-free months so thought that I would jump on the band wagon and shop my stash and where better to start than with my most used lip products.

Sesame seed crunchies

I love baking and I love baking with my kids even more. I think it's a great way of teaching them about food and the wonderful yummy things that they can create. This time I was accompanied by my youngest daughter who is already an avid baker at just 4 years old. She felt like baking so we cracked on and baked these delicious sesame seed crunchy cookies.

Super quick nails with Catrice

I have never been a fan of white nail polish but I must say that this one is lovely. It has a mother of pearl effect which sets it apart from the standard white polish as it has a shimmery marble effect to it. 

With an already busy schedule, I wanted to do my nails really quickly and as I hadn't tried out this nail polish since I bought it, then I thought I'd give it a go.

Let's talk about kids!

As more people around me have become new parents, then I thought I'd share my views and experiences on the subject. I am the proud mother to two beautiful daughters who I totally love to bits. I can honestly say that becoming a mum has changed my life so much and I am thankful for every moment that I spend with my children. I'm not saying that it's easy though, in fact; it's bloody hard work being a mum!

Getting to know myself better

As I get older I find myself reflecting upon my life and myself more and more, and thinking about what I want in my life. I want to be healthier and take care of myself better so I have been doing more research into the little things that I can change to make me happier with who I am and what my life is like.

Shimmery natural day look

I'm a sucker for natural day time looks, so when I got the Naked palette from Urban Decay for Christmas, I was over the moon and couldn't wait to try it out.

Naked palette // Urban Decay

If I wasn't like a kid at Christmas already, then I totally became one when I untied the pretty bow on the lush black box and opened it to reveal the Naked palette by Urban Decay. I think I actually squealed with joy! (totally unlike me) I've wanted this palette for so long but haven't gotten around to buying it. My husband knows me so well of course and got this for me as a special christmas surprise.
