Neutral Makeup + Nude Lip

I've just uploaded a make-up tutorial onto my YouTube channel. I went with subtle look using mauve colour eye shadows and for once, since purchasing it, I used my Kate Moss Rimmel lipstick. The look came out quite nice I think :)

I hope you enjoy!

The Reality of Motherhood Tag

So, I came across this tag which I thought would be quite interesting to do. I'm the only one out of my group of close friends with a child/children. 

(1) What's the hardest thing about being a mum? 

The hardest thing for me is the worry of my children being safe. Like every parent, we'd love our children to run free and be independent. When I was 4-12 i'd be in the forest with my big sister and my friends, building dens and playing out in the street. And I have so many wonderful, fun memories being an outgoing child. I couldn't dream of letting my child be that free! It's a scary world we live in. And whenever I'm out with my little girl, she knows to stay in my sight. The worst feeling goes through me to imagine her being out of my sight if we are out and about. It gives me the shivers....

(2) What's the most unexpected thing about being a mum? 

Hmmm. The feeling of putting someone before yourself. For most mums (I'm hoping :/) you automatically forget your needs and wants and put your children first. A lot of my friends have said they can't imagine being a parent and putting someone before themselves. But it really does comes naturally, or just maybe some women were just born to me a mother. Some are not.
Another one is when you're having time to yourself. When family have asked to have my Rose and I'm thinking "awwl that'll be nice, a bit of me time". But no. I'm constantly thinking of Rose. What she's up to. And how much I bloody miss her! She's like my arms and legs! Just something missing. Which then results to me being upset.
I just can't win.

(3) What do you love most about being a mum? 

Everything! It's hard to explain the feeling to people without children. I guess one word comes to mind.

 Nurturing

. You're someone's world! Their everything. And as I'm typing this, Rose has cuddled up to me. Which has to be the best feeling ever! Making her happy without spoiling her with presents. Which we do not do at all. Instead, we spoil her with our presence. Which is how it should be. We've brought her up very well. And I'm very proud of the young girl she's turning into. And to hear other people say we've done well... really is lovely and kind of a relief. I've tried to bring Rose up the way my mum brought myself up. To understand, know my manners, to not make a fuss of wanting something, to be easy going and to just get on with it. To appreciate what I have.

(4) What if anything would you change? 

This is hard one.

There is nothing I would change at all. 

(5) What words of wisdom do you have for other mums?

Not to worry so much I guess. And it's ok to have time away from your little one. Not only is it good for you but also good for your child to have space away from you.

 There is no wrong or right about parenthood. How you do it is your choice and don't judge others by doing how they're doing it. Get on with what you're doing. 

Only a small tag but as being a mother is basically 99% of my life I thought I may aswel go on an do it. 

Any mothers out there, I tag you to also fill in the Reality of Motherhood tag.
Let me know, because i'd love to see them :)

Liz Earle Cleanse & Polish REVIEW

  I have been holding this one off. Only because it's an obviously great product and there are tons and tons of reviews about it. But wow! I love this stuff!!!

My mother-in-law bought me this product for Christmas and I had previously been eyeing it up before hand. Just never thought I needed it. My skin is....alright. It doesn't have temper tantrums and break out. I count myself lucky with my skin. It's done good. However... after using this, my skin just feels soooo soft! I try to use it every night after I've taken my make-up off with the Garnier Micellar Water. I then fill up the sink half way with fairly hot water. And then pump a grape size amount of the cleanser lotion onto my middle and index finger. And then massage it into my face and neck in circular motions. It smells soooooo good!
 I'll leave it on for about a minute and then grab the hot cloth which comes with the cleanser and soak it into the hot water, half rinse and then, just for the warmth, I lay it on my face like so.

Hhhhmmmm Nice...

I then rub in circular motions as if I'm ex foliating, even though I kinda am.
So that's basically all you do to be honest.
I pat my face dry after with a fluffy face towel and my face is ready for either bed or to apply my day face. Oh and another thing! My pores.... I have no more blackheads in sight... and I only realised the other day when someone asked about my pores and if it helps. Gone!

Let me know if you've been using this product and what you think. I've not heard a single bad word about this amazing stuff.

Much Love
