<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My posts have been a bit hit & miss on the blog recently. I can now reveal why .. last year on the 2nd of August I had an operation to remove a cancerous tumour from my remaining kidney and this week has been my check up since that time to check that from that point i am still cancer free!! As im sure you can appreciate I have been very on edge and unable to concentrate or commit to anything with the appointment fast approaching, but yesterday I had my check up and received the amazing news that I am infact cancer free!!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am now on my 2 weeks holiday wohoo lol so yesterday Freddie decided he wanted to head off to the farm. We arrived to find the farm we usually use was closed so with the help of google we found a farm we hadnt been to before and decided to try it out.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Introducing <a href="http://www.belmontfarm.co.uk/" target="_blank">Belmont Farm in Mill Hill</a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The bus 204 straight from Mill Hill East station goes straight to the farm which is probably about a 10minute bus journey away.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The staff are really passionate, friendly and helpful.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The farm is gorgeous, clean and well set out, with such a wide variety of animals. You can find anything from rabbits to wallabies on your visit and everything in bewteen.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But Freddie was blown away by the tractor ride you can take part in (these are offered hourly at a rate of £2.50 each) we think that it was worth every penny. We had a very passionate member of staff on board talking us around the trip, it was interesting to find out some of the history of the farm.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You could easily spend most of the morning here with all of the activities their are to take part in. Their is also a waffle cafe to grab something to eat in or picnic benches dotted around if you want to enjoy a picnic surrounded by the animals. Overall a great trip and we would re visit.</span></div>

Excuse the awkward expression on my face guys and dolls lol. I have been meaning to snap this OOTD for the longest time, I had spent the whole afternoon rushing around and when I finally at the last minute remembered to snap this shot I was standing in my block of flats (not very glamorous I know) thrusting my phone at my boyfriend and asking him to take a picture before we rushed off to meet my brother in law for his birthday drinks on the southbank.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am in love with lilac and hopefully where you see the blonde in my hair you will hopefully be seeing lovely lilac hair, so when I saw these lilac pieces i snapped them up. This outfit is very comfortable, especially the top which is from ASOS.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">With Freddies bookshelf over flowing I thought it would be a good idea to pick out some of his favourites to help parents and carers find some new reads from their little ones.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(I have tried to limit the amount of Julia Donaldson stories but a few were bound to creep in .. right?!)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">1. The yoga ogre by Peter Bently</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My mum brought this for Freddie as we both share a love of yoga lol. Freddie fell in love with it straight away (as we did). It is wittily written with cute illustration. The story encourages physical activity which is always a hit with me & Freddie loves Ogden the Ogre.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">It may be presumptuous of me but I am guessing this book doesn't need much of a write up. Another hit written by Julia Donaldson which has gone down a treat in our house. As the highway rat goes around stealing from his friends he finally gets his come uppence when he is out witted by a clever duck & winds up working in a cake shop. Great illustrations (try and spot other Julia Donaldson & Axel Scheffler characters throughout the story)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I personally really like this story. It is a really cute tale of a bear who wakes up in need of a cuddle and goes off to find one, with a happy ever after Douglas finds one from his mummy. A great read for all ages, after all your never to old for a cuddle.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We only recently discovered this story. I stumbled across it on the bookshelf of the children at work and loved the rhyming witty story Julia Donaldson always brings to her stories. With a hard working dragon trying his best to make it threw dragon school, he finds he needs and welcomes the help of a passing princess.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freddies grandad brought him the collection of Harry and the bucketful of dinosaurs a while ago now and he still loves each and every one of them. With Harry going on a new adventure with each book theres no time to get bored. Freddie has picked up the names of the dinosaurs really quickly and they books take important subjects such as first days at school and turn them into understandable fun topics for youngsters.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Welcome back guys & dolls. Exactly a week ago I was rushing around with the rest of my household getting ready for my cousins wedding. With summer in full swing there are lots of events to go to such as weddings, christenings etc so I thought I would share what I wore to give some of you lovely ladies inspiration.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My son Freddie was page boy and wore a grey suit so as soon as I saw this lovely <a href="http://www.asos.com//ASOS/ASOS-T-shirt-Pleated-Midi-Dress/Prod/pgeproduct.aspx?iid=3541801" target="_blank">ASOS dress</a> with grey panelling I thought it would compliment his suit and I had to have it. When it arrived I loved it even more but I wanted to brighten it up a and make it that bit more summery. I was toying with a few colour options but finally decided on coral, so off I went on a hunt for all things coral lol.</span></div>

<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I found the gorgeous coral shoes from Dorothy Perkins along with the necklace and earings. The shoes were comfortable enough considering I wore them straight from the box on the day (what was I thinking not wearing them in lol) I lasted for quite a while in them. I bought the shoes and necklace/earing set in store and cant seem to find the online links sorry guys.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Shoes - £25</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Necklace & Earing set - £12.50</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Here is a close up of the necklace, pretty coral flowers really gave that summerv feel to the dress.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I choose not to wear make up that day just some lipgloss and my nails were painted in <a href="http://lauralourambleswithyou.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/manicure-monday-ft-coral-heat.html" target="_blank">Coral heat by Maybelline</a>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The wedding was lovely and the weather was gorgeous. It was the perfect summer wedding and we all really enjoyed ourselves (especially Freddie who was spoilt by all the guests and had a great time dancing the day away).</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have spotted this post floating around on numerous other mummy blogs and thought it would be fun to do a post on.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>1. Are you a stay at home mum or a working mum?</u></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I had my heart set on being a stay at home mum when I became pregnant with Freddie. However circumstances changed at I returned back to work shortly before Freddies 1st birthday. I actually enjoy it this way. I am a nanny and so I get to spend time with Freddie whilst working on some days and he gets along really well with the 2 boys I look after. I am a very lucky working mummy.</span><br>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>2. Would you have it any other way?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Of course I would love to spend all of my time with Freddie but I am glad that he sees me going to work and gets some understanding of a work ethic. I have always been brought up to work hard and I hope he gets that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>3. Do you co-sleep?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freddie will be turning 3 in a few weeks time and we have never co-slept.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>4. What is your one must have item for your baby?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would say when Freddie was a baby the sleeping bags were a must have item. Freddie was a little wriggler and was forever kicking his bedding off so at least with his sleeping bags I didn't have to worry about him being cosy and warm during the night. I also think it helps them feel secure.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>5. How many kids do you plan on having?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I would like another 1 or 2 children.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>6. Date nights. How many do you have per month?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We have gotten really bad recently at spending time together just the two of us. Its easy to get into a routine of putting Freddie to bed and getting on with housework and slipping on a DVD on. We probably havent been out on a date at all this month *covers face* </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>7. Your child's favourite show?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Without a doubt Freddie could watch Thomas the tank engine all day, everyday. He is a big fan and loves everything Thomas related.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>8. Name one thing you brought before you have baby that you never used.</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Its very cliché but it has to be clothes. I went totally over bored (despite all of the advice we given) and brought tons upon tons of clothes for Freddie, and because he was born at 9lb 40z alot of the tiny bits and pieces he never even got to wear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>9. What is your child's favourite food?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freddie loves pasta pesto and would it eat it all day for every meal if we let him.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>10. How many cars does your family own?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">One.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>11. Weigh gain, before pregnancy, during, after & now?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Before falling pregnant with Freddie I was always 'big' and like most mums once that pregnancy test turnt positive I was under the misconception that I was 'eating for two'. I gained tons of weight during pregnancy, but am now proud to say since having Freddie I have lost 6 stone.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>12. Dream holiday with the kids?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freddie is not a massive fan of the heat (as i pressume most little ones arent) so it would have to be somewhere with a lovely beach and sea but also lots of activities to keep him busy.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>13. Dream holiday without the kids?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Bora Bora is up their on my bucket list. It just looks stunning!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">(id probably have to sneak Fred in though couldn't imagine a holiday without him lol)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>14. How has your life changed since having children?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My life has a direction and a positive purpose since having Freddie. I wasnt on the best paths before hand and now everything I do is done to better his life and give him everything. I have grown up so much and also found out who the important people in my life really are.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>15. Finish the sentence "It makes my heart melt to see ..."</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Freddie growing into a loving intelligent little boy</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>16. Where do you shop for your kids?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">If I something nice I grab it so Freddie has clothes from Primark, Next, Zara etc. I do find it really difficult to find nice boys clothes I think the market is definitely aimed at little girls.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>17. Favourite make-up and skincare products?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I am not a big make-up wearer at all, but for skin care I adore the cucumber clay face mask from superdrug. Its amazing.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>18. Huggies or Pampers?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Neither - Freddie has been been in pants for around 8 months now but before that I swore by Asdas 'Little Angels' nappies. I found them better than the name brands and cheaper.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>19. Have you always wanted kids?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">yes - I am a very homely person and have always wanted to be a mummy :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><u>20. Best part about being a mummy?</u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Watching Freddie grow and develop into his own little character amazes me everyday. Teaching him things and of course the love he gives and his special mummy cuddles :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I have a slight tan after slipping in a bit on sunbathing during my lunch break and can only imagine how gorgeous this colour would look with a full on tan. Its bright and totally on trend for summer. It brightens up an outfit and at a reasonably priced £3.99 I think its a must for the summer months.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lighting hasnt done it as much justice as i would have liked as the polish does come out brighter on the nail. I have applied two coats, which dry pretty quickly and then added some diamontes onto the top cuticle area of one nail on both hands to bling the look up a bit for the wedding.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When I was told about the chance to go on a Gruffalo hunt I almost leapt at the chance (in actual fact I think a jump of joy may of actually happened lol).</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">My brother who works in a nursery had been told about the Gruffalo Trail in Thorndon Country Park, Essex. Straight away I was googling details and planning our trip. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The next day we packed a picnic and headed for the park. A short drive later (40minutes) we arrived in what I can only describe as a gorgeous, fictional forest. I couldn't believe we were so close to London yet felt like we were miles away.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You pay to park but it works out at about £3 for the whole day, and you head to the park shop where you can buy a Gruffalo trail map for 50p and off you go.</span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">You are free to roam the forest searching for the characters from both The Gruffalo & The Gruffalos Child. The forest is peaceful yet brimming with the atmosphere for excited children (and parents) searching for the fictional characters that are hidden around.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> Along the route we stopped several times to make instruments from sticks, listen for noises that could possible be the owl, make underground houses for the animals and to try our best and balancing on logs that lie over streams.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"> You can do the trail as many times as you like and go whichever way you please, it is an amazing place and you can definitely make a day out of it.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With the January blues bugging the life out of everyone I thought it would be nice to do a post about resting, relaxing and pampering ourselves!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In box number one (sounds very game showy doesnt it lol) is my christmassy candle that i got from my bestfriend, smells lovely and festive (think cinnamon lol) there is also my beauticology decadant chocolate shower creme and white chocolate body butter. The other cream is a gorgeous smelling hand and body lotion, smells divine (think passion fruit lol) i got this in a set by soap and co for Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In box number 2 is my mineral peeling gel, i got this for christmas and really like it, it is meant to be used as a cleanser, but i use it before i put my face mask on to get rid of dead skin. The face mask in the picture is my go to mask! It is a bargain at 99p from superdrug, and my face feels super soft once ive used it. The other half always comments on how glowing my face is after lol (bless his cottom socks ai) i have sensitive skin and find this does it wonders, doesnt break me out which is always a concern.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Finally in box number 3 is all of my bits and bobs that i use to do my nails, the cuticle oil, nail file & buffer came in the soap and co set with the hand and body lotion in box 1. There is also my OPI nail envy which im swearing by at the moment to help repair my nails from damage after having acrylics on a couple of months ago. The other polish is my city blackout by NYC, i think black is a staple polish colour for winter and wear this all the time.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As a busy mummy to my lovely toddler and working during the week to i always find it a must to have these random pamper evenings!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">So if this post does one thing i hope it persuades you lovlies to grab at least an hour for yourselves tonight and give yourself a midweek pamper session!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Go on girlies you deserve it!x</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was lovely to wake up to a tweet from the lovely Nadine over at @_afrobritchick whos blog you can find on http://www.afrobritchick.com/.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">It was a tweet to say that she had very kindly nominated me for the Liebster award. I love finding new blogs and it is always heart warming to know that others are enjoying reading mine so this sure did start my day off with a skip in my step lol.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now according to Nadine you have to answer the 11 questions given to you by the person who has nominated you and then you have to tag 11 others excluding the person who has nominated you, & set them 11 questions to answer.

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><b><u>1. What inspired you to start blogging?</u></b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I have been passionate about writing & rambling lol since I was small. I tried to blog for years on and off but never really had the time to dedicate to blogging seriously. I got diagnosed and had surgery to remove a cancerous tumor from my kidney last year & it threw everything into prospective. I decided to dedicate my time to things I actually enjoyed doing and this was one of them & im so glad I did.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I really love quotes and sayings and quirky little positive anecdotes that keep me going. Its hard to choose one but I really like the simple yet effective saying 'Nobody can hurt you without your permission' I think it just says alot about life in general, as in we are in control of ourselves and our feelings, don't give control to others when it comes to how you feel.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Once they are soft without being brown and mushy add the kidney beans, stir in and leave for another minute.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Next add the tinned tomatoes, baked beans, a sprinkle of mixed herbs and give it all a good stir and leave to simmer gently until the sausages are done.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Welcome back to week 2 on the Nail Art Weekly Project created by the lovely Dani from http://www.gingerbreadsmiles.co.uk</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The theme for this weeks nail art is a favourite film or TV show.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Here is my inspiration for this weeks post the one and only Finding Nemo :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A few things spring to mind for this theme but I decided on Nemo because it's a super cute family film and the colours and nail art ideas are endless. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Welcome back o faithful readers :) Im sorry for my absence in blog land and everything else at the moment. I have got some personal issues im currently sorting out. However I am back today with a quick OOTD.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">We took Freddie to Thomas Land at Drayton Manor on Friday. He loved it and I would recommend it to all mummys and daddys with little Thomas the Tank Engine enthusiasts lol. The weather held up and we managed to dodge the light showers of rain by using the cute Thomas themed soft play.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wanted to be comfortable as we were going to be on our feet all day so I opted for this comfy casual outfit.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wore my Maroon blazer from River Island. I love this blazer because it is so versatile. It can be dressed up or down and is super comfy. Two pockets either side for your phone etc. I hate fake pockets.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Underneath is a white top with mesh detailing up top. Its an old one so unfortunately I cannot remember for the life of me where it is from and the labels are washed out lol</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On the bottom are my denim jeggings from Dorothy perkins. I love these jeggings. They are so comfortable and flattering.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Finished off with my Maroon converse from JD sports.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">In London town last weekend we were blessed with lovely sunshine and warmth as a reminder that Spring is finally upon us :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As most of the Londoners around we flocked to the park for he weekend. On Saturday Freddie had put in a request for ice cream so we went on the hunt for an ice cream shop. On the way to work I had noticed a new ice cream shop had opened in Islington called Udderlicious so we headed there. Our timing wasnt great as we got caught up and swept along in the traffic of the Arsenal fans all heading home from the game, but before we knew it we had reached the ice cream shop. We were so happy we had made the journey over to North London because although a little pricey the ice cream was delicious! We would recommend and revisit Udderlicious. With the most basic of flavours of chocolate ice cream to the most creative of walnut and ricotta there is bound to be something to suit your taste buds. The staff were super friendly and you get very generous portions as Dean soon found out when he ordered 3 scoops of ice cream and was handed a mountain of ice cream in a cone :)</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After our ice cream we walked a little way down the road and spent the rest of the day in the park until early evening, it definitely gave us a taste of things to come in Spring/Summer.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">On Sunday Freddie had his first Football session with Little Kickers. It was the cutest thing and a very proud mummy and daddy moment for me and Dean. W were greeted by 2 friendly coaches and Freddie was given his little football kit. As Freddie will be going to nursery later on in the year we though it would be good to get him used to taking instruction from other people whilst being part a group, plus Dean was very keen to get Freddie stuck into footie as soon as possible lol. We were really pleased with our experience of the first session and could tell the lesson plans are carefully thought out. Freddie thoroughly enjoyed himself and we can't wait to go back this week for session 2</span>.</div>

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">After footie we grabbed some lunch and headed back to the park for the day. We had a really nice relaxed weekend and it has really gotten me into the mood for the sunshine :) I hope it sticks around.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue Light', HelveticaNeue-Light, helvetica, arial, sans-serif;">As May draws to a close, and what a lengthy month i<span style="color: #0000ee;"><u>t</u></span> has been, with more bank holidays than you can shake a stick at (not complaining lol) I thought I would do a post on some things I have been loving this month.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Let's start by getting the first non beauty related thing out of the way. Walking! I own a car, and I'm ashamed to say I use it way more than it needs to be used (now cover your eyes fitness freaks) in the winter I've even been known to drive to my corner shop eeekkkkk. At the beginning of the month I decided to have 2 days a week where we leave the car at home and walk more, after all, these boots we're made for walking right lol. Since starting I've realised how much I've missed being out in the car and just walking about & I've fallen back in love with walking :)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Is there anyone else out there who is still trying to use up the surplus amounts of soap and glory products they got for Christmas? Raise hands ladies come on let me see em! Well I found yet another box of soap and glory goodies and have been using this scrub like it's going out of fashion. In sure it doesn't need an in depth review and most of the female population probably has this or has at some point, and let's fancy it I ramble on enough as it is, but this is definitely a May favourite of mine.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">As you can see half of my hair is blondish, and I got it dyed that way a couple of months ago now in my pledge to go pastel! Now I've found my hair is in an awful state and have been trying to limit the amount of time I have it in a hair tie and limit the amount of product I use. So I'm loving using this 1950s inspired hair scarf I got with my skirt last year to keep the hair out of my face.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Ok I'm guilty, here is another Christmas present lol. I got this in another gift set and kind of neglected it. I came across it whilst giving my bedroom an overhaul the over the day and it's been my go to body cream this month. A little goes a lot so this will last me a good while, it smells nice and absorbs into the skin quickly :)</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A couple of months ago I had half of my hair dyed blonde in a bid to gradually get some pastel shades flowing threw my locks for summer. Now I had heard all the information about how dry your hair can get from bleaching but deary me I was not prepared for how damaged and brittle my hair would become. I am partly blaming the bleach but in all honestly I am majorly blaming the shampoo & conditioner combo I have been using to keep the blonde, blonde. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am on a budget so decided to do some research into some products I could find at home in order to make my own home made hair mask & from this has come my lemon drizzle hair mask.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">You will need:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The yolk of one egg</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One or two cups of milk depending on the length of your hair</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">2 tablespoons of olive oil</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">A squeeze of honey</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The juice of half a lemon</span></div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now there's nothing fancy to this, you literally put all of the ingredients into a bowl (I use a measuring jug to make it easier to pour on my hair) give a good mix with a fork or egg whisk and apply to damp hair.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Work in from root to tip and I then cover my hair with a shower cap and leave it for half an hour.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Top tip: rinse off with cold to luke warm water because you do not want scrambled egg in your hair if you use hot water lol</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Hey guys & dolls. I know I've been away for what seems like forever, but I am finally back with tons of new exciting posts in the pipeline :)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I'm going to jump straight in with an OOTD. My laptop is currently being repaired so I am having to blog via my phone so please bare with me with regards to quality of posts at the moment)</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">As the title suggests this OOTD is a 1950s inspired one. I love everything 50s and as soon as the sun was shining here in London Town, I jumped at the chance to try out my new skirt.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I am wearing a rockabilly skirt which I purchased from an amazing website called wagtails dancewear. There clothes and gorgeous & very affordable. You can check out their site at www.wagtailsdancewear.co.uk</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Underneath my skirt is a black petite coat which I already had. I believe I bought it from eBay but a quick google search which soon find you tons of options for those.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I wore a black body from ASOS which has a scoop back (my boyfriend is still in training to be my blog photographer lol so no pic of the back in afraid). I finished off the outfit with a pair of frilly socks and a pair of plain white pumps also both from ASOS.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I think this is a really cute summer outfit. It's really comfortable and just something different to wear in the summertime. I was inspired to wear this outfit because I went along to the vintage fair in the old spitalfields market which was a really cool place to find.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I thought I may get a bit chilly later on in the day so threw this sheer white short with black collar and cuffs on over the top. I got a matching headscarf with my skirt so popped that on to :)</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">With mothers day fast approaching I thought I would share these cute mummys day biscuits that I made with the kiddies today :) They are really quick to make and lets face it, what mummy wouldn't swoon over some handmade biscuits from their little ones :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><u>Ingredients</u></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">100g (4oz) butter</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">50g (2oz) sugar</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">vanilla extract to taste</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">175g (6oz) plain flour</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">bottle top/1 teaspoon of milk</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">The good thing about this recipe is that it is very basic so you can add whatever flavourings you wish to them</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Beat the butter and sugar together until you have a smooth yellow liquid.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Mix in the vanilla extra and flour and bring together, at the last minute add the milk to help bind and then leave in the fridge for 10 minutes</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I then used a heart shape cutter for the little hearts and I got the boys to put their hands onto the biscuit dough whilst i cut out the shapes of their hands.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This was a really cute week for the Nail Art Weekly Project. I had numerous ideas i wanted to play around with but after a hectic week I decided on this quick simple design.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I started by using my O.P.I nail envy and base coat. Then i used a white and a red polish both by NYC as my base colours. I needed 3 coats of the white to make it really bright & i instantly fell in love with the white, i can tell it will be my new go to polish.</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">For the hearts i used a small dotting tool and alternate colors to what j had as the base. I then topped the nail with an NYC glitter polish and a silver diamante on the corner of each nail.</span></span></div>

Welcome to week 1 of this amazing project. The Nail Art Weekly Project has been created by Danni over at http://www.gingerbreadsmiles.co.uk/ who has created different themes to run over the space of 5 weeks, that a group of nail enthusiasts will interpret in their own way and use to recreate nail art based on these themes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to take part in the project because I absolutely love nail art and although im quite a novice myself I thought it would be fun to give it ago and see what the other lovely ladies came up with.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><u>Theme 1: An item of clothing or an outfit</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This theme was really easy for me in terms of choosing an item of clothing. I instinctively knew that I wanted to choose my 1950s inspied rockabilly skirt that I wore to my 25th birthday party last year. The print of the skirt is black with red cherrys on it. It comes with a matching headband to.</div>

<b><u>What did I use to create this nail art?</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Nail Envy - O.P.I</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NYC - City Blackout</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Bourjois - Colour unknown sorry</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
NO7 - Stay perfect top coat</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started by using my Nail Envy as a base coat because I am really loving this at the moment for strengthening and growing my nails. I use one coat of this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I then used 2 coast of my City Blackout to get a really good slid base to represent the black of the skirt.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To create the cherry's I decided to use red diamantes from my set that I picked up from Ebay. I found them easy to apply with some royal nail glue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The stems are what I found hardest to do and you can totally see that in the pictures that some of them are not that great. However I loved this shade of green from Bourjois that I picked up from Superdrug. I used the smallest end of one of the nail tools to try and create the lines and they turnt out way to thick so I will be on the hunt for a very thin nail art brush for the rest of the project lol.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I finished the look with 2 coats of my NO7 top coat and voila!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I work as a nanny and the theme of the week for one of the little boys I look after was 'Sea Creatures". I was super excited when I found out and immediately planned a trip to the London aquarium. Ive been tons of times as im lucky enough to just live down the road from there and the children always love it. I find it quite therapeutic to.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Although I find the aquarium quite pricey I do thing it is a really nice day out for the kids. We went mid week so it was nice and quiet, weekends are a nightmare with ques to get in and then tons of people in a confined space (anxiety sufferers back away now). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">I took this snap of a shoal of fish as we got in there and it pretty much sets the scene for the rest of the trip. Tons of beautiful fish almost posing for pictures lol</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Jellyfish are my favorite things to see at the aquarium. They just seem so elegant when they move and the colours are gorgeous. The change of colours really captured the childrens attention to.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Now I remember a time when I use to go to the aquarium as a youngster and was allowed if not encouraged to stroke the sting rays as the swam past in the open tank. But of course since that poor old ozzie incident, touching of the rays is strictly forbidden.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">If you get the chance to go to the London aquarium I would really recommend it, you can spend hours in there, its peaceful (if you try and go midweek that is lol). The children really enjoyed themselves and have been speaking about the creatures they saw and what they enjoyed about their visit. There was a point when a fish almost looked like it was dancing for us in the tank and all of the kiddies couldnt stop chuckling it was a favorite part for one of the kiddies. Hope you enjoyed this post, if youve been let me know what you thought :)</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">One evening i was sitting around my best friends house & her lovely mummy got me to taste the yummiest soup ive ever tasted! I wasn't told that the soup contained bananas before I tasted it so I was very surprised to find out the ingredients. Since then I have made this soup 3 times & I fall in love with it a bit more each time. I think this comes from a recipe book they have so I take no kudos (do people still use that word lol) for it :)</span></div>
