Okay, this isn’t my most exotic post to date! However, it’s got to be close to every Englishman and Woman’s heart because we do love our gardens. I, just like the rest, love pottering in mine. We host infamous BBQ’s each Summer and my little boy and I have just started enjoying picnics after school in the shade of his football goal!
My nesting instinct has hit early this time. Four months to go until baby number two arrives and I’m already at it. Perhaps it’s something to do with the lack of space; we do already have one gorgeous little boy now and all the paraphernalia that goes along therewith – toys, toys and more toys. Clothes, clothes and more clothes! So, with space at a premium I’m feeling like what we have of it needs to be super-clean and tidy. A little background on me for you – I’m a real clean freak; borderline OCD I imagine.
This is round two for me. Round one left me with no stretch marks and I’m hoping to keep them at bay again using a combination of tried and tested and new products!
My first is one that used religiously throughout pregnancy number one. It’s made by pharma company, Novartis and has some good studies backing up efficacy – Trofolastin. Not widely available in the UK, it’s a must!
I’ve been a fan of Bare Minerals for a while now. Their products are effective and unique with each providing more than just one benefit to the skin.
Minerals are at the heart of each product and minerals have the potential to renew, regenerate, energise and nourish the skin. So, whether you use their make-up or their skincare you will be helping improve your skin instantly and over time.
Guest review by Chloe Barget
As someone who is a (very amateur) kick boxer, (fair weather) runner and generally extremely hyperactive, I am always lugging around a large bag of sports related items. I have long been looking for a bag that is spacious enough to hold all of my paraphernalia in an organised fashion. What with toiletries, flipflops (for dirty gym showers), boxing gloves, shin guards, mouthguards, post training clean underwear, post-training snack – the list goes on – I never seem to have enough room in other bags I’ve used, let alone able to have everything packed in a neat, easy-to-access way. So when I came across the Workplay Goddess III with its multifarious odour and sweat-proof pockets and compartments, I was extremely keen to put it through its paces.
