32 Weeks pregnant

Feeling as big as a beached whale.... 32 weeks today The weeks are starting to go by quickly which is good, Im looking forward to bump arriving and also being able to actually get out of the house again which at the moment isnt very often and I only have to go out if necessary.  yesterday I had to and decided I would get on the bus as it would take me some of the way but I wondered why i bothered because believe it or not I had to stand up, not one person one single person offered me their seat I was fuming and even got off the bus a stop early for fear of having a swearing fit at the other passengers.  I don't buy any of that crap people come out with about not knowing if someone is pregnant or not and not wanting to offend them, I am quite plainly obviously pregnant and almost ready to pop, I could of and probably should of said something but I didn't I was too tired and didn't want to start a big row.  Arrrrrrgh rant over. So I'm feeling tired and qu...

Hot Stuff w/e 2/2/14

These weeks Hot stuff where I bring you things from around the web that I am loving, liking, hating right now, articles, products, news, reviews and anything in between. My Hot stuff post from last week has had the most views from all my current posts so I thought I would try to make it into a weekly thing.    First thing I am loving this week is the Little Box of Love from Laurens Way, this is a gift set they are doing for Valentines day and I think its lovely, very reasonably priced at £15.  You can choose from medium or darker than dark and the set contains mini glam tan, mini lotion, mini tan enhancing moisturizer, suprise valentines sweets, randomly selected eyelashes and also a randomly selected mini tanning product.  Any fake tan lover would be pleased to receive this for valentines hint hint cupid.   I have been trying to enter some competitions as not entered many lately there's some great ones out there and I am particularly  lovi...

Mr Nutcase: phone case Review

I was given the chance to review a personalized phone case from Mr Nutcase which is a website where you can buy customized phone and tablet cases.  The website itself is so simple to use,  you can either create your own or choose from collections.  If you create your own there are lots of different layouts and amounts of photos to choose from, you then simply upload your photos to the template. I decided to choose from the collections simply because its so close to bump arriving I would like all of the children on a case if I made a photo one. I started  by selecting my phone make and model which then gave me a choice of either ultra lightweight slimline or executive flip leather style case, I chose the flip style and then had a choice of over 40 backgrounds, after choosing one you can then add text which can be moved around, change color size etc clip art can also be added here. You can then preview your case and add to cart if your happy. The whole process...

My favourite beauty products

Up until now my blog posts have been dominated by pregnancy and baby so I thought I would share with you some of my favorite beauty products. I have two favorite fake tan brands which are St Tropez and Laurens way they both give a good natural looking tan that's not of the orange kind.   I prefer St Tropez lotion to mouse for the simple reason it just goes on my skin better.  I have only used one of Laurens Way products which is the medium mouse they have now bought out the darker than dark which I would love to try.     My favourite moisturiser is vitamin e cream after years of not using any moisturiser on my face tut tut i know I tried many none of which seemed to suit my skin and would leave it greasy.  I buy superdrug own brand  and at £2.99 for 475ml its a bargain and lasts ages. My current favorite foundation is Benefit Hello Flawless, I say current because it depends how my skin is, how tanned I am etc to what kind of found...
