Mommy monday: quick update

Hello there my fellow readers hope you are well and had a good weekend. Weekends these days go way to quick for me and there always busy trying to keep all three boys happy which is hard work when they want to do different things ha! Baby Kennedy is still suffering from colic so I'm still not getting much sleep and he seems to be getting bigger and bigger he doesn't fit in to any of his newborn clothes now and the 0-3 mths wont last very long by the looks of things.....

Here are some pics of him from the past week...

Recently I have gone mad on mason jar glasses I have been seeing them all over instagram the past few weeks and I finally managed to get some from Dunelm I grabbed the last two there....

£2.49 each

 I've also gone mad on owls lately so had to buy this little owl tea light holder when I saw it in Dunelm....

£4.99

Thanks for reading xx

WOW gloss review....

Hello there so if your into make up and on twitter you probably would of seen a tweet or several about a newish make up brand called make up revolution who have been very popular in the bloging community the past few months they are a very affordable brand and are now available in Superdrug. well when I popped into Superdrug yesterday I decided to pick up one of the WOW lip glosses from there sister brand called I heart makeup.

I love the packaging of this lip gloss its quirky and fun and easy to slide into your jean pocket when your on the go as its quite flat...

The WOW gloss in WHAM! £2.49 

 Immediately when I returned home I  couldn't wait to get this on my lips and WOW the pigmentation was amazing for such a cheap lip gloss and I really liked the applicator which was a doe foot with two flat slides so it was easy to apply to the lips. The lip gloss wasn't gloppy or overly sticky, it felt nice on my lips and lasted a few hours (without eating and drinking) the colour wham is so pretty and now I wished that I had picked up all 10 shades!!

Here is Wham! on my lips as you can see its quite opaque and very shiny I heart this gloss.... have you tried anything from this range yet??

Mommy Monday: 8 week update

Hello all hope you had a good weekend! So today is Mommy Monday, It's only a quick post today as Kennedy is snoozing so I'm trying to get done as much as I can during this time. I'm 8weeks and 3 days postpartum and feeling good in myself health wise still a bit up and down emotionally but I think that's all due to the lack of sleep ha ha!

Kennedy-lee is now weighing in at 12 pound 9 ounces and has had his first set of inoculation's last week which didn't go to badly as he only cried for two seconds then fell asleep....

Here's some recent pics of my chunk...

Face of the day.....

So with the lack of time I have at the moment to get myself ready in the morning I have to be quick and keep it simple. Here's the look I wore today.....

Rimmel wake me up foundation in light porcelain
Collection lasting perfection concealer in fair
Collection lasting perfection powder in fair
ELF mineral blusher in joy
Soap and glory archery brow pencil in brown

Mini Primark haul.....

So I did it again went to town determined not to buy make up and ended up in Primark buying home ware items instead ha ha I think I'm just a shopaholic these days. 

I didn't buy to many things I was good just couldn't go home from town empty handed now could I??

 So here's a few pics of what I picked up.....

 Furry pillow £4 Paris pillow £4

That was all I purchased on this trip! Really like the home ware section in Primark at the moment.

Here's a picture of my pillows in place on my bed.....

Mommy Monday....

So another week has passed by to quickly again. Kennedy is growing well he's now too big for newborn clothes yet the 0-3 months clothes are still too big on him. He is still suffering from colic unfortunately but I do find that the gripe water helps and I'm managing to get a few good nights a week where he's not constantly crying (unlike last night).

I'm really enjoying eating healthier these days but I'm not dieting I'm just eating smaller portions and trying healthy alternatives where I can but I'm not restricting my self if I fancy a cake I'll have one as life is to short to be worrying about what your eating all the time. I'm also staying active with the school runs and taking baby Kennedy for long walks in his pram which we both benefit from....

I love having yogurt with some granola and fruit for breakfast. I also try to drink a cup of green tea every morning as its full of goodness and is supposed to help you lose weight.... 

My tea last night was this yummy avocado and egg salad with a nice glass of wine, this was my first time eating avocado and I found it to be quite tasteless and of a slimy soft texture, I need to find different ways on how to use avocado as it is really good for you and I've got a few left to use up any ideas??.....

I've change my usual cows milk for almond milk instead as its better for you....

I've also started taking these supplements today as a trial and will let you know if they work after I've taken the full course....

My little treat I take to bed of a night time is this wispa gold hot chocolate it tastes amazing!!

Having three kids is hard work I must admit, there's always one playing up there never all good at the same time but hey that's kids for you they don't come with a mute or pause button unfortunately ha ha!! So over the past 6/7 weeks I've learnt to enjoy the quiet moments when i get them by treating my self to a relaxing bath, a nice drink, putting a nice candle on, reading a book etc.....

Hope you all have a great week!! Don't forget to take a bit of time out to treat yourself!!
