This one is possibly my fave…

Elemis Pro-Radiance Delights

Hi girls 

I recently came across the Elemis Pro-Radiance range. 

I’m currently using the Cream Cleanser and the Illuminating Flash Balm, and I love both.  

 

  

The Cleanser can be applied straight on over makeup, you massage just a small amount all over your face, no water required, leave for a few minutes, and then remove with a facecloth. 

My skin feels so soft afterwards, and really clean, it’s like a mini facial!

The Flash Balm is lovely on, again just a small amount, applied to a clean face. This can be used as your daily moisturiser, a radiance booster, or even as a primer over your regular moisturiser. 

I just love the glow it gives my skin, and it’s not at all oily, which is often a big issue for me in moisturisers, but this is divine!

You can get these beauty essentials here

Until next time, happy shopping!

Pregnancy Essentials – Bio Oil

Hi girls

I’m sure many of you are already aware that Bio Oil is pretty much an absolute essential during pregnancy, but on the off chance that you didn’t know…if you are pregnant, you need this, and sooner rather than later! 

 

As the ad says “Bioโ€‘Oil is a specialist skincare oil that helps improve the appearance of scars, stretch marks and uneven skin tone.”

I’m a HUGE fan! I’ve been using it since the start of my pregnancy, and so far so good, no stretch marks๐Ÿ™Œ๐Ÿป Now I’ve still got ages to go, so I’m not in the clear yet, but I definitely think it’s helped. 

You can get Bio Oil in loads of places, pretty much all Pharmacies and Penneys also stock it. 

You should use it daily, all over bump, and don’t forget your back and sides – which can also be prone to stretch marks. 

It also leaves your skin incredibly soft, so it’s a win win ladies!

It’s also really important to remain hydrated during pregnancy, for a whole host of very good reasons, avoiding stretch marks being just one, so keep drinking that water dolls!

Happy Shopping

Dirty Thirty, not all that bad!

So guys if you haven’t already noticed, I turned thirty recently! Now seeing that I’m preggers, I decided not to have a big party, but multiple smaller celebrations. I have to say, it’s been brilliantโ˜บ๏ธ

I was absolutely dreading this birthday, I just felt that I was getting so old. Everyone seems to panic as the big 3-0 looms, there’s a lot of pressure to have done so much by thirty, whether it’s travel, work, a house or family. I think it’s important just to sit back, and enjoy the celebration itself. You won’t turn thirty twice, and I have to say, it’s been like turning 21 again, with better shoes ๐Ÿ˜‚

I’ve had a dinner out, a day on Cape Clear, a gorgeous tea party, lunch out and a Spa day with afternoon tea on Saturday-this is the best birthday ever! 

     

        

  

  

I got such lovely cards, flowers and gifts and my favourite, helium balloons!! I’m such a child, but I love them๐Ÿ˜‚ 

I have the best family and friends ever, I’m a very lucky girlโ˜บ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜˜

 

Thirty is actually a lovely birthday, it’s a milestone, and should deffo be celebrated. I heard a very apt one liner covering turning thirty…

‘As -0- birthdays go, it’s not a bad one’

Anyone else hitting the big 3-0 soon? What did you do to celebrate?

Enjoy xoxo

Pregnancy Essentials – Molly Jeans

Hi ladies

This is the first of my Pregnancy Essentials posts. I’ll use these posts to share anything that I’ve found helpful during my own pregnancy. 

First of all, you will start expanding. I know, it’s brilliant and horrifying all at the same time. All you can do is try and look your best while it’s happening!

Molly Jeans are an absolute essential in my book, ladies! They are a great fit for before you start to expand, and they will be your best friend as you do start to grow. They are so comfy, stretchy, and they are mid waisted, the perfect combo! If you’re early on, buy them in your normal size, you will get months out of them, and they will be brilliant afterwards too! If you are half ways along, get them in one size up. 

These are my favourites, and all are available here from River Island. 

   

     

Happy Shopping!

Thanks to Kaz for the recommendation ๐Ÿ˜˜

A day in Kildare Village

Hi lovelies 

So I paid a visit to Kildare Village last week, I love spending time there. It’s such a lovely place to spend a day, all of the stores have such beautiful pieces, and at such great prices!

I had been looking out for the perfect Baby bag, so I paid a visit to Cath Kidson. They came up trumps and I got the perfect one! I love the bright floral designs in Cath Kidson, and they have loads in store, including a very pretty homewear section, I could have stayed there all day! 

 

Lulu Guinness is another absolute favourite of mine. I want absolutely everything in the store. It’s absolute bag heaven! Someday I’m going to treat myself to the Lulu Luggage, it’s seriously to die for!!๐Ÿ™Œ

LK Bennett and Ted Baker both had stunning pieces, as per usual.๐Ÿ‘Œ

We had an absolutely gorgeous lunch in Lโ€™Officina, I would seriously recommend eating there! 

 

I then had a lovely long thrall through the Kate Spade store. The bags are just so elegant, I want them all! The notebooks are literally the cutest notebooks you will ever find!

  

 

So, that was my lovely day in Kildare Village. 

Have you been?

Where’s your favourite store?

My New Shoes

My new shoes deserve a post dedicated entirely to them๐Ÿ˜

I’ve been lusting after these for a while now, so my lovely husband bought them for me as an early birthday gift๐Ÿ˜˜   

I had seen them online, but really wanted to try them on, and see what they were like, and that I could walk, my balance is a little off already #PregnancyWoes ๐Ÿ™Š

We went to the Kurt Geiger store in the Victoria Square Shopping Centre on our recent trip to Belfast, and there they were, and even prettier in person than online!

No balance problems to report after trying on the coveted pair, so money was handed over, and Claire left the shop as a very happy girl๐Ÿ˜Š

I wore them last night to my friends 30th, and they were a dream to wear๐Ÿ™Œ 

 

For those of you wishing to indulge, you can get them here.

As always, happy shopping
