Our Little Glamping Break
We have recently enjoyed a few days away together glamping. We did this for one night last year and I actually loved it. I really didn't think that this would be for me, hence only stopping for one night last time!
We were lucky enough to be able to stay an extra night this time with did give us more time to enjoy the experience,
We were really blessed with the weather again, I do think that with this sort of holiday it does make a big difference, we spent the first afternoon and evening on and around the site, we went for a walk as there is a lot of open space around the site and finished off with a lovely little BBQ by our pod
The 2nd day we went to the Botanic Gardens of wales, this really was a beautiful day, I was pleasantly surprised there was plenty to see and there was some birds of prey which were amazing to see. We finished off the evening with a trip to a Harvester for some food!
The final day, was the day we would be heading back home we stopped for a few hours in Cardiff Bay before heading home, there was plenty of shops and the bay is beautiful, it was a lovely end to our few days away.

Elegant Touch Jelly Nails
I have been kindly gifted some new false nails from Elegant Touch, I have been a fan of theirs for a while, and I have spoken about them in previous blog post.
These are from their Jelly range, which I think are perfect for spring and summer with their really vibrant shades, and that they do actually look like jelly!
I do normally do my own gel nails but these do take a while to do. I have found that Elegant touch nails are always great for a quick manicure that does last, in the photo below I have already had them on for a week!
You can purchase Elegant Touch nails from Boots and in Superdrug and they are always reasonably priced

Uunique London Phone Accessories
I like thin phone cases. I see everyone around me using fat, thick cases for their phones, and it makes me shake my head because I don’t see the reason of increasing the heft of my phone for daily use. I know thicker cases mean you get better protection from the really devastating drops, but I find thin cases like Uunique London do a great job of protecting my device while being sleek, minimalist, and nice to hold.
I have found that they do some really lovely eye catching designs and I like that this one has a rubbery feel to it meaning that it has more grip, and less chance of me dropping it!

Secret Saviours Anti-Stretch Kit
A few weeks ago I was asked if I would like to try out the Secret Saviours Anti-Stretch Mark System. When it comes to anything that may help my pregnancy, then I am always a willing participant. The kit comprises of a support band, day gel and night cream. They claim that this system makes it 70% harder for stretch marks to form, which is worth looking into alone.
I am currently 21 weeks pregnant, and we have recently found out that we are expecting a little boy which we are over the moon about!
I have started to use the kit, its still early days but I thought I would give you my initial thoughts on how I have found it.
First off the creams they smell amazing and eave my skin feeling really soft and hydrated. The day cream is a little sticky, but this is actually a good thing as it helps the band to stay in place.
I love the night cream I have been applying this before bed and again it smells divine.
I went for a small in the band itself, I am currently a UK size 6-8 and don't have much in the way of a bump. I don't find that the band is digging into me anywhere and it is giving me some great support. As I have been having issues with my joints, especially around my round ligaments and hips and I feel that so far this has definitely helped.
So far I don't have any stretch marks, but I am hoping that this will help to keep them to a minimum as by bump grows!
You can find out some more information on the kit and purchase yours HERE
Nb. I was sent the Secret Saviours Anti Stretch Mark System to trial. All views, opinions and photographs are entirely my own.

Go Stationery London
I love a good notebook, and stationery in general, and I am a sucker for cute patterns and designs. Merge those two together and you get... GO Stationery. Never heard of this brand? No, me neither until recently. With so many stationery brands out there, what makes GO Stationery stick out against its competitors? Well, they offer you the choice of stationery in a wide range of patterns and designs that will be appealing to most people. You'll inevitably find something that you'll find yourself drawn to - after all, I did and I am quite picky when it comes to notebook pattern and designs.
A few weeks' ago, I was sent a few products to review from GO Stationery and here was the
selection:

Wet Brush
It has been a while again since I posted on my blog, its been a crazy few months with plenty going on!
I decided the other day that I wanted a new hairbrush, Its not something I buy very often and I have been using my trusty Primark one for a long time!
Most people probably think a brush is a brush is a brush. However if you're like me and have long, often knotty hair, you know not all brushes are created equal. Most brushes induce tears at some point While I brush my hair, even with a detangler spray, so it is safe to say I don't look forward to this process after my showers.
I have been usng the same brush I had from Primark years ago so I decided to buy one from Just My Look as they are a great price at the moment. I looked specifically for one that may help detangle. I ended up with this brush and some other flexible brush. There is no comparison and the wet brush pro wins hands down. I don't feel a thing when brushing my hair - neither when it's wet or dry. I can't even explain how this brush works, all I know is that it's a miracle. I'm planning to buy two or three more just so I never am without it.
I purchased my from HERE they are currently reduced to £6.95 which I think is a bargain!

New Look Haul 2019
I have been absent from my blog for a while! It does seem like it has been a really long time. I had a lovely break over Christmas ( that seems so long ago now!!) I managed to squeeze in a little break to Gran Canaria to spend some time with my sister, which was lovely. I am happy to actually be back into a normal routine again, and excited for the new year!
What better start to the blog in the new year that with a little haul from New Look, I always love to start the new year off with some new pieces in my wardrobe.
The first item is this lovely body suit, I normally shy away from these as I don't have a long enough torso so I have found that they don't sit right. I actually like the look of this and how it sits I think it looks quite nice a bit looser fitting on me.
Next up is this black pinafore dress, I have been wearing these a lot lately especially in the cooler weather, as I can easily layer it up with a jumper underneath. I don['t tactfully own one in black so thought this would be a great easy to wear piece. Only think I think I would have sized down on this as it is a little baggy!
I found this houndstooth print t-shirt that has gold buttons on the shoulders which I thought added a nice touch. This was also out the petite section so it also fits perfect on the length and great for wearing tucked into a skirt or trousers.
The final item was a dress that I actually thought would have been great for NYE, I then did my usual trick of wearing something completely different! I still love this dress it is a great flattering cut, and I am sure that I will be wearing it very soon for an evening out!
There is still a sale on @ New look and they have some lovely items still available you can find the current sale HERE
