    TRAVEL STYLING: Turkish Delight – A Daytime to Evening Versatile Maxi-Dress

    10 September, 20155 January, 2017

    As the weather in Turkey was so hot, loose clothes are a must. So, with that in mind when I saw this gorgeous floaty Cawthorne Temple Tiles Maxi-Dress from Fat Face (£60.00) I knew it would be just perfect – the pattern reminds me of the intricate patterns found within a Mosque or maybe the

    2014: The ‘Year of the Unicorn’ Round-Up

    This time last year, I’d just been through a break up of a 3 year relationship, I was unsure about my future and didn’t have a place to live. I was ‘sofa surfing’ for a bit between friends and my parents and to be honest, life was feeling rather difficult. I called 2014 ‘The Year

    AD |The last few years have really taken their tol AD |The last few years have really taken their toll on my skin - since becoming a mum, the sleepless nights have certainly contributed to a fair collection of fine lines and wrinkles! As a new Mum, I lost my identity. My self-care and skincare went out of the window - I’d be lucky if I found time to use a quick facewipe at bedtime, so over the last year I’ve really been on a journey to find myself again, not only working on my fitness and mental wellbeing but my skincare too. I have recently discovered @BYBIbeauty boosters, which have slotted perfectly into my morning and evening skincare routine and given my skin such a boost! There are 4 boosters in the range - a balancing CDB, Strawberry, Blueberry or Bakuchiol. I use a different booster depending on my skins needs. My favourite is the Bakuchiol Booster. Bakuchiol is a natural, vegan-friendly alternative to retinol (which is safe for use during pregnancy and breastfeeding!). I use this at bed time as it stimulates collagen production, which dramatically improves the texture of my skin, perfect for tackling those fine lines and wrinkles I seem to have acquired! 😆 The product glides onto the skin leaving it feeling silky smooth, highly moisturised without being greasy. It’s also been perfect for that moisture boost over the colder months as my skin has been so dry. The Strawberry booster is 100% cold-pressed strawberry oil, I love to use this one in the morning for a zing of fruity hydration, before applying my make-up. Have you tried the @BYBIbeauty boosters? They are all super affordable at £12.00 rrp, plus you can get a fab 20% off with my code BYBILYN 🙌🏻✨ Which would you go for? 😍
    Hello! 👋🏻 I've had quite a few new followers Hello! 👋🏻 I've had quite a few new followers recently, so I thought I'd say hello and reintroduce myself to those who are new around here (and maybe those who aren't too!) 🥰 I'm Lyndsay, I'm a mum of two little girls, Violet (4) and Pearl (3). We are a same-sex family, we conceived our little girls through IVF after a long and difficult fertility journey. This year our family grew again as we welcomed our Dalmatian puppy Dolly too! 🐶💜 We live in a little house near the sea in Brighton, we adore living by the coast and get outside for walks most days. I also love sea swimming (although I admit I've not braved it in the winter this year! 🙈🧊) I document our life and story here. I pride myself in being open and honest - I write like I'm chatting to a friend (because I am! 🥰), I share the reality of our lives, the good bits, the tricky bits and the funny bits too. I love curated photos on Instagram but understand that'll never be me - there will always be a washing basket in the way for my photos to look that perfect. 👌🏻😂 I'm passionate about breaking stereotypes and not feeling you need to have a label. Society loves a label these days but if you feel you don't fit into any box, you don't need to - honestly. Just be you. ✨🌈⚡💜 So, I'll end with a random fact about me - I have a heart birthmark on my leg and when I was little I convinced my friends I was part care bear 😆. I'd love to get to know you too - so tell me a random fact about you!! 🥰 📸: @carriefry_ @carolinefhood
    PHOTOGRAPHY 📸 So, my main "new years resolution PHOTOGRAPHY 📸 So, my main "new years resolution" was to learn a new skill, and that skill is photography. I know as photos are a HUGE part of my job it may seem like I know what I'm doing, but let me tell you a secret... 😳 I've been winging it the whole time! I have no idea what to do behind the camera and never take my camera off auto... 😂🙈🤭 So, its time I learned! I've been saving for a new camera for nearly two years, so finally I have a new baby - I went for @canonuk EOS RP which is a mirrorless, I also bought a 50mm lens 😍😍😍😍 I wanted to enroll in a course in Central Brighton but with the current panny-d rolling on I thought I'd learn from home and signed up for @skillshare (which is blooming amazing, but more on that another time 😍) and am learning online. This week I took my new toy for a test run, bribed Violet into being my model with a tasty ice cream (she didn't take much persuading!) and took some pictures 🍦📸 I've completed over 3 hours of online learning so thought I'd be pretty ready to take a good picture, but it's SO much harder than it looks with a complicated camera. Light, children and scenery just move and change so fast... I came home with a lot of blurry pictures, but I got these and I quite like them 😍 We all have to start somewhere, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️ I'd love to hear any tips for a new budding photographer 😍😍😍
    Is there anything more joyous than a toddler licki Is there anything more joyous than a toddler licking the bowl? 🥰 Happy Friday - it's the weekend, we made it.... JUST. Even though its been a short week it's felt like a CENTURY.... Or is that just me? 🤯🤯🤯🤯
    Taking a sip of my coffee in peace, the house is q Taking a sip of my coffee in peace, the house is quiet for the first time in weeks. I thought I'd be relishing this moment, cherishing the quiet after the chaos, but actually as we said goodbye and you held back the tears - I miss you. I miss my little sidekicks, always by my side, a warm cuddle, soft pyjamas, the sound of Encanto for the 27th time, asking for yet ANOTHER snack and a cup of warm milk. The crunch of a stray crisp on the sofa. I feel bad for the times I snapped - I told you to pick the lego up off the carpet, get ready for bed, and go to sleep (oh for the love of god, GO TO SLEEP) and now the house is quiet and I wish you were here, making a mess, filling the living room with barbie houses, hatchimals and random lego bricks. One day I will miss these things for good, but for today luckily it's only until 3pm and the fun will start again 💕 Are your children back to school today? How are you feeling?
    2022 🎊 | Chilled, tired vibes here to start the 2022 🎊 | Chilled, tired vibes here to start the year. We had a slow, meandering dog walk this morning, with plenty of fresh air to start the year. I'm trying not to be too rigid about goals and resolutions this year, but I'm excited for fresh start to the year 👌🏻 This afternoon we snuggled down to watch Mary Poppins in the afternoon - such a classic. It was the girls first time watching it, but I remembered every word 😊 How was your new years day? 🌱 p.s - can you believe Violet took this photo, what a pro! 📸

I felt so proud watching her confidence grow by the end of the session 🥰🥰 The pavilion ice rink is so pretty and it was lovely to have one last festive hurrah 🙌🏻 Pearl and I watched from the sidelines as I'm so clumsy I fall over on dry land, let alone on the ice...😂😂 Pearl also hates walking on different textures and won't walk on mud or decking so I knew ice skating wouldn't be her thing either! 🤷🏼‍♀️ Can you ice skate or are you team clumsy like me? 🤣
    #AD | One of our favourite things to do at Christm #AD | One of our favourite things to do at Christmas is watching festive movies. We’ve been slowly working through as many as we can! The girls are such a lovely age where Christmas is just magical as they just find everything so exciting! I’m enjoying watching all my childhood favourites again too. 🎅🏻 This weekend we watched The Grinch using our @EpsonUK EF-12 EpiqVision Mini laser projector, which makes the living room look and feel like we are in a cinema! 🍿 It’s perfect for a festive movie night, as it’s super easy to set up, you can just plug and play. I’m able to stream all my favourite movies with ease as it has apps like Disney+, Prime Movies all built in, or mirror content from my phone, laptop or any smart device. With a staggering screen size of up to 150 inches, exceptionally sharp, colourful image quality and a Yamaha speaker you are transported to the cinema in seconds…. All we needed to add was the popcorn for the full experience! Do you love to watch a festive movie at this time of year? Which is your favourite? 🎄 📸: @carriefry_ #Christmas #Christmasfilms #Christmascinema #Epsonhomecinema

Pearl : We ARE lucky as we are girls. Girls can change the world. Violet : But at the party the boys kept trying to pull my crown off. Pearl : boys always try to pull our crowns off. We will stop them.

    a d | Is it just me or are you counting down the d a d | Is it just me or are you counting down the days to the Christmas break too!? 😴 It can’t come soon enough! I’d love to say we’ll be relaxing and snoozing till midday, but I know that just won’t happen so I’ve got a few tricks up my sleeve to keep the little ones busy and entertained during the school holidays 🙌🏻 This festive season, @IETeducation are running Santa’s STEM workshop, where you can join Santa to make, create, imagine and discover this Christmas. Whether you like getting crafty, baking delicious recipes, or conducting whizz banging experiments at home, there is something to entertain and educate all ages over the holiday season through STEM inspired learning through play. This weekend we headed out to do the Winter Scavenger Hunt - the weather wasn’t on our side but toasty warm in our coats we didn't let that get in our way of some fresh air and nature. The girls really enjoyed it! Head to Santa’s STEM workshop (I’ll pop the link in my stories) to get started! All activities are free to download. So, will you be creating the perfect snowball marshmallows, making snow globes or experimenting with electric dough? #SantaLovesSTEM #SantasSTEMworkshop
    a d | Is there anything more festive than a tin o a d | Is there anything more festive than a tin of Quality Street? The rustle of the wrappers, the colours, purple, orange and green, spending forever deliberating over which one to choose! @QualityStreetUKI reminds me of my childhood Christmasses - such a treat. Do you remember making a little wine glass shape around your finger with the wrapper too? I’ve always been one to keep the tin and use it throughout the year, I’ve even got one from around 10 years ago that's now a sewing box, so I’m excited to have my own Lyndsay Street tin that’ll be used year upon year at Christmas. I bought myself a tin as a little treat to myself during the run up to Christmas. In the evenings, I’ll get out my own special tin to enjoy a sweet or two whilst wrapping presents by the Christmas tree. I picked our tin up from @JohnLewis in Bluewater - where you can pick your favourites to make the perfect tin, I made sure to put in extra Strawberry Cremes as they are my absolute favourite! At participating @JohnLewis stores you can find the exclusive Crème Caramel Crisp too - a gorgeous blend of milk and white chocolate (the only Quality street to include white chocolate!) with crispy biscuit pieces and indulgent caramel. Delicious! Which is your favourite Quality Street? @qualitystreetuki #qualitystreet 📸: @carriefry_
