This year my advent calendar of choice is the L’Occitane Luxury Beauty Advent calendar – filled with 24 little treats to make every day in December a joy! I am a huge fan of L’Occitane
I rarely ever get any me-time. Having two children so young means most evenings are spent dashing around cooking dinners, doing bath times and bedtimes and by the time all that is done, I usually just want to crash! Every now and again I make sure I take the time to have a long bath

I’ve been a bit wrapped up with everything pregnancy and babies recently on the blog, so I thought I’d post something slightly different for today.

Everyone keeps telling me ‘when you have a baby, you won’t have time for makeup‘ some Mums even say they don’t have enough time in the day for a shower! Eek! I know this sounds terribly vain, but if I’m totally honest – whether I’m rushed off my feet or not, I just wouldn’t feel
When an email dropped into my inbox inviting me to visit The Point Hair Salon in Brighton, I couldn’t be happier! With everything going on recently, I had totally neglected my hair and it was looking absolutely awful. With dull, drab and straggly locks, plus hideous dark roots I was in desperate need for a pampering
This new range of face masks from The Body Shop couldn’t have come at a better time for me. In the last few months with baby-peaches on the way, I’ve really been feeling hideously tired, frazzled and run down, my skincare routine has gone out of the window. My skin has also changed from dry
