Happy Mothers Day Mum

Happy Mother's Day Mum

So it's Mother's Day in the UK today. And I just wanted to leave a little short note to wish my wonderful mum happy Mother's Day.

It's not been the easiest year with losing Nannie, but I'm determined we will make it a brilliant year. 

You really are the best mum and nanna to James in the whole world! We love you lots xxx 

What's in my make up bag

I'm seeing a lot of what's in my...? posts at the moment on different blogs, so I thought I would do a post on what's in my make up bag.

This is my small bag with what I would normally wear on a day out. I have another big case in my wardrobe with some other stuff in, but this is what I'm favouriting at the moment.

These are the eye shadows I have in the bag at the moment. The one at the back is an Estée Lauder 02 Cappuccino. I got this a few years ago as a birthday present and it's been in and out my bag ever since. In front of that we have my two latest buys from the new range at poundland. We have Pink Champagne number 4 and Vintage Rose number 6. At the very front is colour trend by Avon spirits. Again this was a purchase a few years ago and has been in and out my make up bag.

Here we have from left to right my Max Factor Masterclass under eye concealer in Ivory 303, this was first purchased four years ago when we got married and was worn on our wedding day. Then we have my new buy again from the poundland range, never ending story lengthening mascara. This is really good. I absolutely love it and it's great for just popping on quickly. Finally we have my Max Factor Masterpiece high definition mascara. Again this was another wedding purchase and loved it and still do four years later.

Again left to right we have Max Factor Lipfinity Lip Tint in shade 08. This was bought a couple of years ago for my best friends hen party as I needed a darker lip colour that would stay put all night and it worked. Then we have two lip salves. Normally these are in my drawers. But seeing as we are due to be moving so. They got put in the bag. Then we have my two new colours again from the poundland range. We have 01 perfectly nude this is perfect for wearing during the day. Then we have 18 black cherry. This is a fantastic colour for wearing on a night out. I have worn it on a day time but it's just too dark for daytime.

Finally we have my foundation and blusher. The Max Factor weightless foundation again was another wedding purchase and has been bought and bought again since as it lasts all day and suits my skin. Then we have the poundland gorgeous flawless in Ivory 1. I have just bought this so haven't actually tried it yet but hoping to try it this week. Then will review it in full. Finally we have my Max Factor blusher in 220 classic rose. This is the actual one I bought for my wedding day four years ago. I don't wear blusher much. Normally only on a night out, so no wonder it's still going strong four years later!!!

So that's what's currently in my makeup bag. If you can think of any products you think I might like leave a comment or drop me an email.

**Review** Design a T-shirt kit

When the people from www.buytshirtsonlineco.uk got in touch with us offering us one of their design kits for James I was thrilled.

The kit consisted of a fruit of the loom t-shirt, a t-shirt transfer, fabric pens, and full instructions for the ironing of the transfer and the after care for washing.

First thing that I did was position the transfer onto the t-shirt. I then ironed the transfer onto the tshirt. James is mad about construction vehicles, so I was pleased to see he had been sent a dumper truck transfer.

I then left the tshirt to cool down so I could remove the backing paper.

Once the tshirt was cool, I removed the backing paper and revealed the dumper truck on the tshirt. 

Now it's ready to hand over to James to decorate with the fabric pens.

James got very excited when he saw the pens and the t-shirt. He wanted to do big splotches of colour. He then discovered (with the help of mummy), that scrunched up kitchen paper gave a great effect.

He had a great time putting the colour on and then using the kitchen roll to make a pattern.

The final tshirt is now hanging up to dry. I cannot wait for James to be able to wear this and show of his handy work.

**www.buytshirtsonline.co.uk sent us this kit free of charge in exchange for our honest review**

Troublesome Toddler and The Big Move

So James is 30 months old or two and a half years. In six more months my tiny 6lbs 15oz little boy is going to be three!! I feel like I have blinked, especially in the last six months, and my little boy has really grown up. 

He really amazes me on a daily basis with all the new things he is coming out with and doing.

But he can also be a little devil. He hates being told no and boy does he show you if he does not like something. 

We are currently packing up our house ready to move again, but this time it's not to another rented house, it's into our own house which we are in process of buying. 

We are so excited, but also stressed, to be finally buying our own house after almost seven years together, married for four years this month and one gorgeous cheeky monkey. 

It's a lovely three bed roomed terraced house not far from where we a living at the moment.

I look forward to sharing our journey of moving on here and decorating our new home to suit us.
