PRODUCT REVIEW: TIPS TO HELP BED-WETTING KIDS WITH PROTECT-A-BED LINEN PROTECTORS

Not long ago, I talked about why a good nights sleep is so import to your health (you can see it here in case you missed it), but it is equally important that your sleeping environment is healthy, so I also recently talked about how my husband and I protect ourselves, and our children from allergens while we sleep and having a healthier sleeping environment (which you can read about here). 

PRODUCT REVIEW: MEDIK8 ADVANCED NIGHT RESTORE, ADVANCED NIGHT EYE, LIQUID PEPTIDES, WHITE BALANCE BRIGHTENING SERUM AND MICELLAR MOUSSE

PRODUCT REVIEW: MAVALA SPRING/SUMMER 2018-2019 BLOOM LIPSTICK COLLECTION

You may recall that I’ve raved about Mavala before - especially their nail polish collection - but what may don’t know, is that the brand also has a range of skincare (you can read more about that here), as well as makeup (you can read more about some of their lipsticks here and here). And speaking of lipsticks, they are nothing short of incredible, so when the newest Spring-Summer 2018/19 landed on my desk, needless to say I was excited. 

PRODUCT REVIEW: MILK AND CO BODY SCRUB, INVIGORATE BODY LOTION AND HAND QUENCH

It has just been Australia Day, and as well as being blessed with a beautiful country, and more gorgeous sunny days than most other places, we have also been blessed with a multitude of amazing skincare brands. One of those is Milk & Co, which makes all the products locally from predominantly naturally derived, paraben free ingredients.

PRODUCT REVIEW: GLOBE X SESAME STREET BOARD

During the school holidays and summer break, keeping the kids busy and entertained can be a tricky thing. You, naturally, cannot take them out to theme parks every single day, and neither buy them new toys daily - so we have tried to keep them active with play in the garden, bike rides, and also teaching big boy how to use a skate board, thanks to the cool Globe x Sesame Street board.

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN - COPS VS ROBBERS AT LEGOLAND DISCOVERY CENTRE MELBOURNE

Melbourne Big Ticket where you get entry to two attractions, Sea Life Melbourne and Legoland Discovery Centre at a great discounted price… But let’s first have a look at the attractions..

THE ULTIMATE BEAUTY AND HEALTH SURVIVAL KIT FROM TVSN WITH CARLA OATES, SAND + SKY, WRINKLES SMINKLES, AND HEALTH FOUNDRY

A new year, for most means lots of resolutions. I don’t usually make too many, simply as I know I will rarely keep them and let myself down. And hey, in my opinion, you also gotta live life. What’s the point of depriving yourself of all the good stuff. Everything in moderation, if you ask me.

That said, I do have a few things I want to improve on in regards to my health, drink more water, eat a little healthier, nurture my body and skin from within and find a little more time for pampering myself, which can be a little hard at times with two little kids.

PRODUCT REVIEW: BACK TO SCHOOL WITH SMASH ENTERPRISES

PRODUCT REVIEW: BACK TO SCHOOL WITH THE COOLEST STATIONARY FROM SMIGGLE

Just two more weeks to go now and school is back. And at our house, there’s excitement this year for our 5 year old who is starting prep. And along with the school uniform, it wouldn’t be a school start without a trip to Smiggle, which as always is loaded with super cool stuff the kids will love. 

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN - SMALLFOOT AT SEA LIFE MELBOURNE

I have no doubt that I am not the only mummy who is struggling keeping my kids entertained during the school holidays. And especially this one, as it is a little longer than the other holidays throughout the year. Naturally, my kids are not used to being entertained, and going to fun places every single day of the week, but when you go from being hyper active all day in kindergarten (or school), with lots of fun things to do and play with and being distracted all the time, then simply being home with mummy day after day after day, I guess, I can understand that it can become a little boring. 

SCHOOL HOLIDAY FUN - GUMBUYA WORLD

School Holidays… we’ve not come to the stage that there’s just a few weeks left of the school holdiays… a lot of things have already been done, and visited, and the toys given for Xmas, while (hopefully), still being played with, are no longer sufficient to keep the kids entertained all day long. Oh what to do… We’ve visited several different theme parks over the last few weeks, which the kids are sure to love, and which makes for great family trips too… let’s start with Gumbuya World..

PRODUCT REVIEW: SYNERGIE MINERALS MAKEUP

I am always excited when I come across new brands, and even more so when they are Australian. Today I am talking about Synergie Skin  which is not just Australian made, the cosmeceutical products are also cruelty free, and made entirely free of ethically questionable ingredients.

PRODUCT REVIEW: LANEIGE LIP SLEEPING MASK, COSRX COOLING AQUA FACIAL MIST AND JJ YOUNG BY CAOLION LAB PORE ERASING STICK FROM K-BEAUTY STORE STYLE STORY

I am relatively new to Korean Beauty products, or K-Beauty as they have also been dubbed, but there are so many brands popping up everywhere, and everyone is raving about the products, and the Koreans have been said to be on the forefront with advanced skincare, is no wonder, and thus it is also without a doubt one of my goals for the new year to explore more of these Korean brands. And not long ago I was so fortunate to be offered to try some out thanks to Style Story  which is an Australian online store, specialising in all things K-Beauty.
