From Kent To Cornwall

So who doesn't like cake?  I know i love it, and any sort of occasion where cake can be involved well guess what i'm in! In a little brown box delivered start to your door, yes that is right straight to your door. Inside the cutest little tin sits a personalised cake perfect for any occasion!  The wonderful team over at  bakerdays  create these fantastic cakes, head over and have a look. From birthdays to special events there is a cake for everyone. Its so easy to order and create the perfect cake for you or someone you love. With Halloween being on of my favourite occasions, Bakerdays really did finish our party off with this gruesome looking cake, underneath all the blood and eyeballs sits a fluffy lemon sponge cake, soft and moist. The detail that has put in to this cake certainly lit up the room, and everyone wanted to dive in a try a slice.  Bakerdays don't just cater to Halloween as i said any occasion they have your ...

When it comes to doing make up i am far from being a pro, but i really do enjoy trying new products. Recently I've found some great products that have literally changed my game plan!  Since having my daughter 5 years ago my eye brows have just decided to become basically non  existent! Which really started to bring me down, seeing so many beautiful brows on other people made me jealous ( stupid you may thing but brows just make your face complete ) So whilst out shopping and searching for my saviour i came across the holy grail!!  Eylure brow stencils!! and blow me down they have changed my life, these stencils come in a pack of 4 reusable arched styles. ranging from slim arch to full arch. It's taken me a while to perfect it but i really feel like a new person for using them and at only £4.95 a pack well a complete bargain! I paired this with the makeup revolution duo brow definer, which come in kind of a crayon form, its double ended wi...

When is comes to skin care and bath/shower for my children i always like things that keep there skin soft and defiantly does not irritate them. When they where little all three of them suffered with dry skin, which was rather horrible at times, in the winter my daughter still get dry patches now which can cause her some irritation. I find that cheaper products really don't do anything for there soft child skin, even some big brands don't last long keeping there skin dry free so trying different products to find the one that's just right has been a task and a half. The lovely people over at child's farm kindly sent us some products to try. We've been using them for a few weeks now and i'm rather impressed, my daughters dry skin seems to have cleared right up. The products:  We have two hair and body washes, and a 3 in 1 swim, firstly the designs on there packaging is brilliant! the bright coloured bottles, the funky styled pictures. Branding is...

I use to do beauty blogging, when the boys was small. Something i really enjoyed doing and i was lucky enough to work with so lovely cosmetic brands, to which i always gave honest reviews on the products that they sent me. One thing always stopped me from being an amazing beauty blogger like some of the talented bloggers out there, and it was being able to actually apply make in way that stood out and showed a talent. So i gave it up, i didn't blog for ages after that family life was what i was all about. I slipped in to being a mum and nothing else. Then with moving down to Cornwall and the kids being that much older and Mark going off to work every day, i needed something for me. So i decided to start it all up again, but this time it incorporated my family, and our adventures. Along with things the kids enjoyed doing, so here i am.  My blog is not huge, and not well know but its that little place i can come to share things. To share my experiences, my fails as a pa...

How are we already in October, last time i looked we was just beginning summer. We do love October though, the leaves changing colour and falling making a crispy path way for you, the cosy evenings snuggled under a fluffy blanket. Most of all we love Halloween, this is our first Halloween in Cornwall. We are looking forward to making our house all spooky, and i think a trip to B&M is on the books for that one.  We've always loved dressing up and the kids get so excited sorting out there outfits, we are not really sure if there are any events going on around us, but we have just discovered the perfect place to go pumpkin picking which is not open for a few weeks but we can't wait to go! Another great thing we love to do as a family, spending hour's walking around the pumpkin patch finding the perfect pumpkins, playing around with the wheelbarrows. Then coming home and deciding how to carve them! I also like to do a few Halloween themed dinners for the ki...
