Urban Decay x Gwen Stefani Palette

Urban Decay never fail to impress with their new collections and the Gwen Stefani collaboration is insanely good. The Urban Decay Gwen Stefani Eyeshadow Palette* (£40.00) was released at the end of last year and it has been my go to palette for everyday makeup or a smokey eye for the past few weeks/months. Since the collection was recently expanded with a blush palette, lipsticks and more, I decided to finally review the eyeshadow palette. I mentioned it in my gift guide and in my recent favourites, but it deserves it's own blog post. 

UK's most popular beauty products!

With makeup and beauty trends changing each year, our purchases are easily influenced and we usually end up buying the latest mascaras, lipsticks or the new amazing fake tan everyone's raving about. Well... we can now actually see what products we spend the most money on, thanks to Beauty Bay's fantastic Beauty Map! The map shows most bought beauty products in the UK, by county and the results might surprise you. 

Mia meets Chewy

I have loads of teething toys for Mia, but our newest family member is possibly the best one yet. His name is Chewy* and he is a cute little hippo. Adorable! We received him last week and he's been with Mia every day. She loves him!

We Made Me Pao Papoose 3in1 Baby Carrier Review

As Zachary was a very quiet baby and didn't require non stop attention, I didn't really look into baby wearing. He was always content and happy in his bouncer, cot, on a blanket etc. Mia on the other hand... well.. she is very clingy and demanding and wants to be attached to me 24/7. Typical diva! That's why I was very excited when We Made Me, who are experts when it comes to baby wearing came to the rescue with their range of baby carriers!

Giorgio Armani Si Fragrances Comparison

Giorgio Armani Si is one of my all time favourite scents and I absolutely love it. I first tried it in Duty Free at the airport and I knew I had to have it in my life. I can't imagine not having it in my collection. Today, I am comparing all the versions of Si for you: Si EDT, Si EDP and Si Intense EDP. They are all similar, but each one has a  different twist.

My Little Wish Box

Another fantastic selection of products by My Little Box! They are on a roll. My Little Wish Box is full of lovely items and it's great value for money too. Let's see what's inside.

Brand Focus: Mama Designs (Babasac, Mamascarf & Snoodie)

From all the baby brands available on the market, I love the ones with an amazing mama behind the products. Mama Designs is a brain child of a very inspirational mumtrepreneur Keira, who came up with a couple of fantastic ideas to make our 'momlife' easier. I've been using the Babasac, Mamascarf and Snoodie since last year and I wanted to share my thoughts with you.

Lifestyle & Fitness Update

The title of this post might be slightly misleading, as my fitness levels at the moment are absolutely ridiculous, but I am trying to get back into a routine and here's a little update.

My Breastfeeding Essentials + Encouraging Breastfeeding

I have been breastfeeding for 6 months now, with ups and downs and formula top-ups, but we're still nursing and that's the most important part. My next goal is 8 months, but ideally I would love to breastfeed Mia for at least a year. Today, I am sharing my breastfeeding essentials with you. Whether you're breastfeeding exclusively, expressing or combination feeding, I hope you find it useful.

January beauty favourites

I think I might bring my 'Monthly Beauty Favourites' feature back in 2016. I wasn't consistent with it last year, but I love writing about all my finds, so fingers crossed the kids give me some spare time to try more products :) haha. Now let's start with my January favourites. I only have a couple of things I really enjoyed and here they are.

Snuz Accessories: Bedding and Snuz Pocket

I absolutely love our SnuzPod*(review here) and I am dreading the day when I have to put it away. Mia is now 6 months old, but not crawling yet or being able to pull herself up etc, so we can still use this amazing bedside crib (our days are numbered though). To make saying goodbye to our Snuzpod even harder, I now have a stunning new set of bedding for it too, as Snuz UK released a new range of accessories for their award winning crib (and other cribs too). Not gonna lie- I want them all for Mia's cot bed.

Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP review

I have been dying to try the Marc Jacobs Decadence EDP* (30ml, £41.00) since it launched last year and I am not gonna lie - it was mostly due to the stunning packaging... I know... haha... I just can't get over it. But is the fragrance itself as beautiful as the flacon?
