Current Non-Beauty Favourites

Oh my... I can't believe my last post was published on the 24th of February. Oooops! I am blaming it on my pregnancy... I don't have any beauty favourites to share with you this month, but... I have plenty of random bits and bobs to talk about. From home fragrance to colouring and tea :)

Pregnancy Update: 13-15 weeks

I can't believe I am almost 4 months pregnant! Just when I thought I was going to feel great for the next 6 months, me & Zachary got the flu (AGAIN!) and it was worse than ever! Apparently there are 4 different strains of flu around at the moment. Fab... I had fever for a couple of days, a bad cough, blocked sinuses and... wait for it.... conjunctivitis! Again, I caught it from Zachary, who brought it from nursery. I am sick of all the nursery germs! Grrrrrrrrrrr!!! He is going back on tomorrow, so I am worried that he will bring another disease home! It's hell! 

My Little Frenchie Box

I apologise for the lack of posts lately, but with the full family being ill (again!), I am finding it hard to juggle everything. I really wanted to share the contents of this months My Little Box* with you though, so I am back with a quick review and lots of photos.

Pregnancy Update: 13 weeks (bye, bye 1st trimester!)

I am now officially in my 2nd trimester and I can honestly feel a massive difference in the way I feel. My nausea is gone, I am not exhausted anymore, I am not ill and I am actually feeling great! Fingers crossed it continues to go smoothly for the next 6 months. 

New makeup bits + makeup look

My makeup collection is a bit out of control, but I am always excited to try new products or brands. I am sure you can relate to my obsession, haha :) The newest additions to my stash are the Laura Geller Primer, a couple of Topshop gems from Feelunique, Claudia Louch Foundation and Powder, some of new Bourjois launches and Benefit Rollerlash. With lots of new bits and bobs to try out, I decided to create a quick makeup look as well, just in case you missed my face :) 

Comfy date night outfit

My husband and I don't do date nights as often as we would like to, but when we do, I still prefer to keep my outfit quite casual. We don't actually go'out out' (I hate parties, clubs etc), so having proper party pieces would be an absolute waste of money for me. I like things I can wear on many occasions, easy to dress up and down.

Valentine's Day Treats

With Valentine's Day being only 2 days away, I thought I will share some last minute ideas.

LIB Get The Gloss Beauty Insider's Kit

Latest In Beauty never fail to impress with their boxes and the new Get The Gloss Beauty Insider's Kit* (£19.95 +p&p) is absolutely amazing! With the contents worth £116, it is a real bargain and it features a big selection of products, including luxury brands like GlamGlow, Therapie, Shiseido, Laura Mercier and more.

His & Hers Daniel Wellington Watches

I am a big fan of Daniel Wellington watches and I have a couple of DW designs in my collection. They are classy, well made and absolutely beautiful. I was recently offered a chance to pick not one, but two DW watches for me and my husband to celebrate Valentine's Day and I couldn't resist going matchy matchy :) 

I am pregnant with baby No.2 :)

I couldn't be happier to finally share the news with you! I am 11 weeks pregnant with baby number 2 and keeping the secret since finding out right before Christmas was torture :) haha. 

Ash Spiral Boots

I have been lusting after a pair of Ash ankle boots for absolute ages, so when I stumbled across a pair of their Spiral boots on ebay, they had to be mine. I managed to snap them up at a fraction of the retail price as well. Happy days! 

Makeup Revolution Radiant Lights

 Keeping up with all new Makeup Revolution launches is almost impossible :) They bring out new products constantly, all of them at very affordable prices. I am a bit late to the party with Radiant Lights*, but they were named Hourglass Ambient Lighting Powder dupes by many bloggers, so I had to compare them for you.
