A little bedroom decor update + Leesa mattress review

We recently moved things around in the bedroom to accommodate our new super king size mattress, so I thought I will take some photos and do a little update, before we totally redecorate and switch Mia's co-sleeper to a full size cot.

What makeup dreams are made of! The Gwen Stefani Blush Palette* is great value for money, at only £35.00 for 6 colours, all perfect for Spring/Summer 2016.

Lego Movie Challenge & Brick Flicks at St.Enoch Centre

When The St. Enoch Centre contacted me and asked, if me and Zachary would like to take part in their Lego Movie Challenge, I was delighted! And you should have seen Zachary's face when I told him about it and... when the Lego arrived! Oh my... it was one of the best surprises (if not the best one) ever! My heart melted.

DIY: Turning old packaging into gorgeous decor pieces.

I love DIY! I am not sure if you know this, but my blog actually started as a DIY blog. I used to make jewellery, other accessories and anything else that I came up with. Being creative is a big part of my life. I don't have much time for any projects while looking after two kids and breastfeeding, but... I have been dying to upcycle two cardboard tubes my We Made Me baby carriers came in and I think I did pretty well, don't you think? Emma Bridgewater inspired homeware anyone? I am sooo, soo pleased with these! I used two techniques to cover the boxes in the print. One is super simple, one requires a bit more effort.

Valentine's Day Gift Guide 2016

I am not sure if all of you celebrate Valentine's Day, but I absolutely love it. It is not just for couples in my opinion. It is all about sharing the love and spending some quality time together, even as a family. It is also a great excuse to show the person/people you love that you care. Whether it's a big present or a simple card, it's the thought that counts. I have some ideas for you today, from very obvious ones to some more creative options. Enjoy :)

Kiko BFF Collection

I say it all the time, but I adore Kiko! Amazing makeup at such affordable prices. They recently opened a store in Glasgow as well and I had to pay it a cheeky visit obviously. It looks incredible! One of my favourite things about Kiko is the fact that they regularly release limited edition collections that are simply stunning! The newest one is called BFF- Best Friends Forever and it came out just in time for Valentine's Day. Great marketing move, as even those who are anti-valentines will love the theme and could be tempted to buy some pieces for their bestie!

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.

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.
