Some of my pregnancy essentials

Pregnancy is usually a really lovely and magical time, but at some point everyone becomes a bit uncomfortable with their growing bump or experiences typical pregnancy symptoms. Here are some items that are making the final weeks a little bit easier for me.

Factors To Think About Before Embarking On Parenthood

Parenthood is a special part of life and something that many of us look forward to. You'll rarely hear anybody say they regret having kids, and it's something that makes many families feel complete. After all, creating offspring is the one thing that we were put on the earth to do as humans. The rest is entirely open to interpretation. If you have been together with your partner for a while and you are thinking about trying for a baby, then there's a lot of things to take into consideration.

 

Summer Nails with Essence Gel Nail Polishes

 This awesome delivery from Essence simply blew my mind and I am now 100% sorted in the nail polish department :)  Not like I needed anymore nail polish (I have a ridiculous collection already), but... the gel formula sounded promising so I had to give it a go. I must admit - swatching over 40 polishes requires real dedication, but it was also very relaxing so it's all good :)

Freedom Makeup

There is a new budget makeup brand on the market - Freedom Makeup London. The packaging might look similar to you. It's because it was created by the team behind Makeup Revolution.  I was kindly sent a selection of products to try out by Beauty Crowd, who are Freedom's stockists and I have a first impressions post to share with you today :)

More Father's Day Gift Ideas

I was only planning one Father's Day themed blog post this year, but I have more gift ideas to share with you, including a couple of typical 'dad favourites'. 

Benefit Operation Pore-Proof Kit

If you follow me on instagram, you might have seen lots of photos of the lovely new Benefit Operation Pore-Proof Kit*(£28.50) already. It is such a fab little set! It's not officially launching till the end of June, but... you can now buy it exclusively from John Lewis!

Pregnancy update: 30 weeks

There was nothing interesting happening for the past couple of weeks, so I waited till my recent growth scan to update you on the pregnancy. I am actually surprised that I didn't get any extra scans in my 1st pregnancy, because I was measuring huge for dates and my private scan predicted a 9lb+ baby. Anyway... At least I know what to expect this time.
