A treat for mummy

Its no secret that i've always been a girly girl, but now that im a food covered messy haired mummy make up has taken abit of a backseat and its abit of a treat to actually sit and spend time on my makeup instead of chucking abit of bronzer and mascara on. A while ago i discovered two people i know are also bloggers..crazy right? heres me naively thinking im a loner. One of which has a fashion blog, through that i found her little handmade shop and came across a brush roll i fell in love with. I had to have one made, and instead of stopping there i pushed the beauty boat out and asked if she'd be able to make me a matching makeup bag..and well the rest is history!!

My first mothers day

Sunday was my first mothers day :) i think..do you class the one where there in your tummy? probably not, i didnt!

I dont like really obvious gifts & luckily Craig knows me so well that i didnt just end up with 'mum' keepsakes and flowers. Dont get me wrong, flowers are nice sometimes..i just prefer them as a random suprise. Saying that, the last time Craig suprised me with "flowers" it was a poinsettia near christmas.

10 points for spotting the spelling mistake!

He suprises me does my Craigy. I babble to him while im browsing beauty magazines/blogs in bed, thinking he's dozing off and blanking me, but he's secretly memorising everything i want. Apart from the bubble wand. He randomly likes to buy me these himself. Last time he came home with 'the mum'. More fitting for the day, but anyhow..like he says "it goes well with the bath bomb".

1. Id been browsing the Lush website, and said "ooh these have petal in, isnt that a good idea?". Normally i stick to my oldtime two favourites avobath & fizzbanger so i will have to give these a try.

2/3. These are both finds from the latest glamour mag. I've got fine hair but never really bought products designed for it. Since Rio likes to grab handfuls of my hair and snap it off not only did i need a product designed for it..i also needed another to strengthen it. I was getting too tempted to cut it all back off again so along winning louise from sprinkleofglitters straightner competition, this has given me an extra little boost to keep going.

4. As said above this was a little suprise. I think for the money their a little on the pricey side compared to a bottle of bubble bath. But its a little big of girly luxury :) and i love it!

We also went out for carvery, yumyum! & picked a mum shortbread up in asda. It was no cooplands shortbread man (which i buy all the time now i have pushchair in tow and can get away with pretending their for Rio) but we enjoyed it all the same. Blogger on the other hand doesnt like it and wont let me upload the picture!
