Autumn’s First GlossyBox

September 11, 20177 Comments

Autumn is here! It's finally starting to feel like boots and a cosy jumper kind of weather, and as much as I long for summer, I actually don't mind pulling my woollen wears out of storage. Along with the commencement of turning leaves, up has popped September's GlossyBox! This month's box is filled with all … Continue reading Autumn’s First GlossyBox

Hope you all had a fun and sweet treat filled Halloween! We went trick or treating around the local village with lots of Freddie's school buddies (Cora was wrapped up and slept pretty much all the way round), then came home and the boys carved the pumpkins. As we now live on a back road with no paths, few neighbours and zero trick or treaters, it felt a little pointless decorating the house, however we couldn't go to bed without having carved and putting out our pumpkin patch harvest πŸ€£πŸŽƒ. . . . #halloween #pumpkin #trickortreat #fun #spooky #pumpkincarving #discoverunder2k #instaparents #forthekids #bigkids #instagood #halloween2019 #autumn #autumnal
Hmmm... what's under here? Happy 8 month's to our beautiful daughter Cora. You're comical, stroppy, and downright bloody adorable. We πŸ’› you! . . . #babygirl #misscora #8monthsold #whoruntheworld #mothersofdaughters #instamum #parenting #raisinggirls #daughter #mumstagram
This morning I straightened my hair for the first time in months!!! Lately I've been sporting the trusty mum bun, mainly for ease but also to stop Cora yanking at it like it's a helium balloon πŸ˜–. But it felt good to finally pay some attention to my neglected locks. Good old GHD's, it's nice to see you again. πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ . . . #saturday #saturdaystyle #hair #hairstyle #hairstyling #ghd #instabeauty #instablog #bbloggersuk #tangleteezer #beautyfollowing #lincolnshire #discoverunder2k #mumbun #instamum #mumlife
Happy Friday!!!!! I've seriously dackered down on beauty purchases recently as I've got LOOOOOAAADDDS of stuff to get through. And I want to enjoy using the products that I've got rather than rushing through them for the sake of it. I have however been lured in by a couple of @aldiuk's Lacura skin care range and have picked up their rose toner and glycolic pads. 5 points if you can guess what they're dupes of 🀣! Both of these cheaper alternatives are actually pretty nice to use. The toner smells lovely and my skin seems to like it, and the pads are one of those products that don't really have any instant effect but if you like to use a chemical exfoliator like glycolic then these are nice and gentle and would be great for travel. I personally would prefer a thicker pad as these are pretty thin but I can't complain for the price. If you're watching the pennies or want to dabble with product like these then Aldi's versions are certainly purse friendly and there's nothing to loose by trying them outπŸ‘πŸ». . . . #friyay #happyfriday #skincare #skincaredupes #affordablebeauty #beautydupes #lacura #aldi #instabeauty #beautyreview #instablog #beautybloggersuk #prettypolly #discoverunder2k
Since moving house almost 3 months ago, we're finding that there's still so much to organise! Although some areas have order and make sense, there are still quite a few places that have had the old 'chuck it in any cupboard and sort it later' treatment. My self care products have fallen to this method in particular, being spread across cabinets, make up / wash bags and even still cardboard boxes. Thinks some binge watching of #mariekondo Is required for inspiration! . . . #organise #newhome #movinghouse #beauty #makeup #skincare #lifehacks #storagesolutions #instabeauty #instablog #bbloggersuk

πŸ™‹πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ We're still here!!! After what might seem like we've dropped off the face of the earth I can confirm we're still here bimbling along in the background. Life has been manic over the past few months, not only with learning how to be a parent of 2, but we also moved house! Throw into the mix knocking down a wall, starting renovations of certain rooms, school runs, being a 'soccer mom' every Saturday, and wrestling with an almost 8 month old, it's all been go go go!! There's not been much time for beauty goings on, partially because all of my stuff is still upside down but also because I just haven't had the time! Can't remember the last time I wore a full face of make up πŸ˜‚. So the first item on the agenda is to organise and re-ignite this passion! πŸ’œ . . #beautyfollowing #mumma #busylife #soccermom #babygirl #mummaof2 #beautylover #instabeauty #reality #instablogger #prettypolly #lincolnshire
β˜†EMPTYβ˜† I've just finished up this soothing Rose Tonic from @pixibeauty, and it was so lovely to use. The scent and the way it made my skin feel were ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. Would definitely use again in the future! . . . #beauty #beautyempty #facial #toner #rosetonic #pixibeauty #skincare #skincareroutine #calming #selfcare #projectpan #beautyfollowing
There's nothing quite like a refreshed hair do to give you a boost! My hairdresser ran babylights through to give the colour an overall lighten and lift. I love it and definitely feel more summery! πŸ’πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ . . . #instahair #hairstyle #hairofinstagram #haircolour #blonde #babylights #haircare #beautyfollowing #beautyjunkie #selfcare #beautyblogging #discoverunder5k
Over the past 2 or 3 weeks life has been a challenge. Anxiety seems to have reared its ugly head, making day to day tasks, alongside parenting of a 3 month old and 6 year old quite a struggle. I've spent a lot of time doubting myself, worrying that I'm cracking up and feeling like a failure as a parent. Getting into the rut seems to have happened in an instant, but the climb back up feels like it's taking forever. However spending time in calming spaces like these certainly has an amazing ability to lift the mood and get some clarity. My mum has spent a number of years planting a woodland garden and I'm so thankful to have this space to catch a breath, and let the world stop for just a few moments. Spending time around nature itself can be amazingly theraputic, and I'm glad my kids can share this too. πŸŒ±πŸƒπŸŒΏπŸŒΎ . . . #nature #getoutdoors #rest #relax recover #mentalhealth #anxiety #selfcare #mentalhealthawareness #greenspaces #sunshine
