How to Fake Confidence
When I came back from the states, I had a bit of an identity crisis. Looking back on it, almost 6 weeks later, I know there were a lot of factors that resulted in me sliding back into the black pit of hopelessness. But as a mother, every time I do end up here again, I don’t have the option of crawling back under my quilt and spending the day there. Yes, I take naps whenever I can (mainly because when I feel like this, my insomnia is particularly bad) but I don’t get a “day off” pursay. So instead, I fake it. I’ve had to fake confidence in myself…

A Night in with Primula Dips
As I’ve made it rather clear now, I rarely ever have a night out. 95% of the time I’m in the house on a Saturday night, 1% i’m out of the country, 1% I have friends staying and the other 2% is the nights I spend at my best friend Bee‘s house. If I’m honest, Saturday nights are just as dull as any other night of the week. I rarely drink, because it feels super sad buying a bottle of wine I know I’ll drink myself.. and not even as a pre-drink. If you want to know the truth, I usually work. So when Primula offered me the chance to…

First Impressions With Dermalogica
Wow, it has been ages since I did any sort of beauty post, but today I have one all about my first impressions of Dermalogica. A brand I’d heard plenty about but I’d never tried myself until I was offered the chance. My main reason for accepting the chance to try out Dermalogica is because if i’m brutally honest, my skin is a bloody mess and has been since last August. While I was in the states in the middle of summer, something strange happened to my skin, it went from being sensitive dry to sensitive oily. I have never ever had oily skin but for some reason when I…

Holiday in the Sun Essentials*
Aren’t you all bored of me harping on about my holiday yet? Yes? Well tough. I’m going at it all from a different angle today in talking about my holiday in the sun essentials. I haven’t taken a holiday where it has been “hot” since I was 20, that’s 7 years. Usually I have city breaks where although the weather has been cool, I haven’t had to worry about being out in the sun a lot due to a lot of sight seeing being indoors. Although a lot of a Disney Holiday can be indoors, I knew I needed to be prepared for some time out enjoying the sun, and…

Wicked the Musical at Sunderland Empire
The day before I went away on holiday, I was lucky enough to invited along to see Wicked the Musical on tour at the Sunderland Empire. This post is long over due but because of my trip (and lack of substantial wifi) then insane jetlag I really haven’t felt like blogging but the musical was phenomenal it still deserved a post. This was my third time seeing Wicked, the first two times were at London in the musicals home theatre, Apollo Victoria. If I’m honest I wasn’t expecting the full stage set as I know from seeing other musicals on tour it can’t be a lot of work moving it…

Personal Style – The Dream That You Wish Will Come True
I have to admit, that unlike my other Disney Personal Style posts, I did not wear this dress all day. Mainly because I’m trying to get down my washing and I’d be afraid I wouldn’t get this washed and ironed in time to take it with me! I cannot believe I go in 12 days, TWELVE DAYS! I’m able to now say to Little Miss that we’re going on holiday NEXT WEEK! My threats to get her to stop misbehaving sound more real when I say “stop that or you won’t go to Disney next week” rather than just tagging on “soon” to the end. I’m onto the washing and…
