How I ‘Proposed’ To My Bridesmaids!
Yes, I am one of those cringe bride to be’s who did a bridesmaid proposal. I was just so excited to finally be getting married after being with my partner 5.5 years and believing marriage wasn’t an option, so I really wanted to surprise people. I knew that these ladies also wouldn’t necessarily know they were going to be bridesmaids so wanted to do something fun to ask them. For those of you who haven’t heard what a bridesmaid proposal is, no it isn’t going down on one knee with an expensive ring (sorry ladies), it is just another term for doing something creative to ask your bridesmaids aside from, well…just…

Bread = Boring?…I doughn’t think so
The one thing I struggle to live without when trying to go on a healthy eating diet is bread. I love a good sandwich and adding bread to things just makes life better! So I still make sure that I allow myself to eat bread in moderation, even when trying to be healthy and nothing beats home made bread! There are so many bread making machines out there that make it so easy for you to make your own. Some of the best I have seen online are the breadmakers by panasonic and their newest model also features rustic sourdough, artisan and scone modes giving you so many bread options! The…

First Try At Garden DIY
Moving in to a new build a year and a half ago meant that we could do up our home to be exactly what we wanted. It also meant a lot of work and even after being here for over a year we are still only about 30% there..if that. The one thing however, that is really niggling at me is the garden. When we moved in, our new garden was already all turfed and it looked beautiful, but in reality it was a bog until end of summer last year. We wanted to get straight on with making it a nice place for our son and the two pups to…

Easter Fun
Now that I am an adult, Easter usually just seems a bit of a pain in the butt rather than something to look forward to. Whilst I love how excited my little guy gets and the fact that it’s the first year he has known what the Easter Bunny is, it’s just more money and lot of chocolate which sucks when you are trying to lose weight! I wanted to try do something fun however and actually turn it in to a nice weekend and quite quickly our laid back weekend ended up being quite a busy one. Friday was just spent doing things in the house, nothing special really…

Date Night At Thaikhun
If you have been following me for a while you will already know just how much I love and rave about Thaikhun. You may have even seen my previous review of when I went with the family for the launch of their new Children’s menu. So I have reviewed how great it is to go as a family, but this time we had the rare opportunity to go there for a date night, just the two of us. This meant I even got to have a cocktail…or two and we could relax, take our time and enjoy stuffing our faces. For those of you who don’t know, Thaikhun (meaning ‘your’…

My Top 5 Contour Palettes
I can’t believe I used to live my life without contouring. Some people may eye roll at that and think, why are people always trying to change their face? But the thing is, I am not one of those people that contours the crap out of my face, it’s more of a natural contour that I do that just makes my face look glowy and have a little more shape. I spend literally 5 minutes applying my makeup each morning (it’s impossible to take any longer with a 3 year old). So it’s not like I am doing it ‘properly’ I guess, but I have noticed how much nicer my makeup…
