Pregnancy Update #1 29 weeks and 3 days!

29 weeks and 3 days!

It doesn't seem like it was yesterday since I was sat in my boyfriend's toilet waiting for that little stick to tell me if I was positive or negative. How time flies by! Week by week goes by and as it does I definitely feel more pregnant. It wasn't until the end of the 4th month where it really started to sink in that my body was changing and I was going to be having a baby. It did seem really surreal at first, I'm sure it was due to the fact that my little man wasn't planned but I was certain that I didn't want to abort him. 

Now I've hit the 29 weeks mark my body isn't capable of doing what was the norm to me any more. Bending down or running for a bus or even just walking at my normal pace just isn't in me now, it's certainly crazy! The only way I can describe it is like I've suddenly gone from nearly turning 20 to nearly turning 50. I never suffered from any first trimester problems like morning sickness or anything, I was pretty lucky in that department. It isn't till now that I'm waking up during the night with major leg cramps which I've never experienced before but they really are the worst! I spent a day down town and my legs where killing from where I hasn't sat down all day and my back was hurting, also I pulled a shoulder muscle from holding my bag all day. Just the little things get you when you're pregnant. 

There are definitely some plus sides to being pregnant though, as most women I hated being on once a month and sometimes was fed up with being a girl but now I'm pregnant I literally can't get over how much men miss out on feeling a baby grow and develop inside of you. It's amazing waking up to little feet and hands kicking you from the inside and having a head stick out or a bum, it's so amazing! What made my whole year this year was when we went to a 3D ultrasound scan and when the woman was trying to get pictures of him he was being a little grump but I spoke to my mum and he actually gave a massive smile just from hearing my voice(or possibly wind) the woman said he knows mummy's voice already. How amazing is that a baby at 25 weeks (that's when we had the scan) can recognize my voice it made my heart melt. I will never forget that day! The best feeling about being pregnant is how all your life you will never love someone without seeing them or meeting them but with your own baby you already love them without any contact. It truly is special! 

I love my little Danny George Miners! <3

ELF unboxing!! (Pictures)

ELF unboxing!

My dear friend purchased me some ELF products and I thought I'd do a blog unboxing for you. ELF always have discounts going on and their products are rather cheap as well. 

Here is my box of goodies (above). I'm just going to pull out a product at random and show you what the product looks like, tell you about the product and swatch it for you. 

The first product I've received is this single eyeshadow in the shade Coffee Bean.

In the packaging the product looks like this

The packaging has new in the top right corner, so im not sure if this means the product is a NEW product or if the colour is a new shade as all of the products purchased claim to have NEW on them.

This is the product out of the packaging (above and below) For the packing I think the product is rather tiny the packing makes the product look a lot bigger to what it actually is. 

The packing to this eyeshadow is really cute, it comes with a mirror as you can see in the picture but im not really sure if you would ever use the mirror as its very tiny but it does add a nice touch to the product. You get 2.75g of product which is decent because this product was at the time £1.97. I've just checked the website and at the moment they are having a huge discount on store and their eyeshadow's are now going for only 70p each. 

Click here to view their eyeshadows.

These eyeshadows normally are priced at £3.95.

Once opened this product lasts up to 12 months.

I actually really like this eyeshadow. It's quite a dark shimmery brown eyeshadow but it would look lovely on a smokey eye. The colour is very buildable and for the price I think the pigment is great! Ingredients and directs on how to use is on the back of the box for this product. The swatch is the picture is applied with a finger and is dry. This product can also be applied with a wet brush for more of a pop.

The number for this product is 81126.

Make sure to check out their eyeshadows!

The next product I have is Baked Bronzer in the shade Bora Bora. 

You get 6g of product for the price of £3.95. This product was purchased for £1.97, they have currently sold out of all their bronzers. The number of this product is 83364. On the packaging it says "Infused with active key ingredients jojoba, rose, sunflower, apricot and grape to nourish and hydrate the skin" To me that sounds great as im always searching for products with the best ingredients!

Once opened this product can be used for up to 12 months. 

There was only 2 downsides to this product for me.The first one was that before even using it or getting it out the box the elf sign on the front of the bronzer had already started to rub off. The second one was that is product had a really strong make up smell to it, almost like what a face would smell like with way to much make up on it. Other than that is product is a great marble effect shimmery golden bronzer. 

There isn't as much fallout on this bronzer as there was with the eyeshadow but you have to build this bronzer up as its not very pigmented but for a bronzer I don't mind that.

The next product is a Blush in the shade fuchsia fusion.

You get 4.75g of product for the price of £3.95. Currently all sold out. The number for this product is 83138. This product lasts for up to 12 months and you also get a bigger mirror than the eyeshadow included. 

This is a beautiful bright pink shade for your cheeks, I recommend building it up rather than putting a lot of product onto the brush as it has glitter shimmers and the product is very bold. I'll definitely be doing a make up look with these products as there all very beautiful. I found this blush did have quite a bit of fall out so be careful when applying this. 

I will continue this post with another post. 

Make sure to check out the ELF(UK) website as everything right now is going for under £1!!

TK Maxx baby boy!

My obsession with TK Maxx will never end! 

When ever I'm in town I always have to have a snoop in TK Maxx especially at the baby section! I'm always on the look out for smart baby boy clothes or the makes Ralph Lauren or Converse. I have spent overall a good £500 in this store. Not all at once but me constantly going in and finding things, actually it's proberly more than that oops. Haha! 

But today I only purchased two items, which where this lovely Andy & Evan 9months denim blue Bengal stripe shirtzie. 

Which was only £7.99. You can't purchase this on the offical website in the UK but I'm sure you can find it on another website and it will range from about £20. I'll be going back tomorrow to buy the dogtooth pattern one because I loved it but couldn't decide between to two so hopefully it will still be there tomorrow! Haha! 

It's such lovely quality, it feels really soft pretty much like a shirt you would wear for an interview if you was a boy of course. It's stretchy around the leg holes and has poppers in between the legs so nappy changes are easier which I love! 

The second item I brought was these lovely Ralph Lauren top deck sander ez boatshoes. 

I paid £19.99 for these and on the box it says RRP £36.99. You can find these exact same ones on the Ralph Lauren site just different insoles which are red for £45. So I got a bargain! 

These are the cutest little crib shoes ever! I love them! I'd even pair these two items together with some jeans or denim shorts. I'm definitely happy I brought these! They are amazing quality and I thank god for TK Maxx best shop ever!! 

I will be purchasing more products for sure!!

Pregnancy scare!

Pregnancy scare! 

After having spent a day at my nans, I walked to my boyfriend's house. On the way there I must have had a spot bleed which I was pretty worried about because I hadn't bled before during my pregnancy. My boyfriends mum told me that she had quite a bit of spot bleeding during her last pregnancy with my boyfriends brother so I decided not to worry to much and see how everything was in the morning. Well it turns out that I couldn't even sleep due to being so worried but eventually I fast asleep. 

As soon as I woke up I felt like something wasn't right because normally my little man wakes me up but he chose not to this morning. So I tried to get hold of my old midwife due to switching midwifes and not having my current midwifes number but no luck. I called 111 and they gave me a number to call which was for maternity bleep. So straight away I dialed the number and they told me to come into QA hospital now. I had left my maternity notes at my mums, which was such a pain as I had to travel 45minutes to a ferry and then another 45 minutes to my mums place and all the way back and then it took an hour from there to get to the hospital. 

Once I arrived I was directed to two wrong places before I turned up into the right area. I was quite panicked at this time as I still hadn't felt any movements from baby, I normally feel him on the bus due to vibrations but today nothing. My name was on the board in the treetops maternity area and they told me to go into this room where they had an ultra sound system and other maternity uses. Me and my boyfriend waited in that room for a good hour before a midwife came into the room. She checked his heartbeat straight away and look at my notes. His heartbeat was bearable so after that the stress levels went down majorly! We was then left in the room for another hour to the midwife coming back in apologising because she got dragged into doing another job. It felt like they left me to last minute so if anything was to happen to my baby unfortunatly he wouldn't have been here now. Due to the staff not even seeing me for an hour when I arrived and due to them coming in the room and then leaving me an hour between each time. They spent 20 minutes with me even though I was there for over 4 hours.

They didn't ultrasound me or examine me, so I was very upset with that as if anything had happened how would they have known? Luckly he's perfectly healthy! The only thing they were worried about was the fact that they measured my bump and it was measuring quite small, even though his measurements were wrong. So he booked me for a growth scan, my baby is fine he isn't small at all but my bump is tiny. I am very petite and I used to weigh only 6stone now 8 stone and my height is 5ft. So you can't expect a giant baby with me haha! But the growth scan went fine. 

My little danny was definitely playing an April fools joke on me! 

Hopefully never again!!

TK Maxx false eyelashes!

TK Maxx False Eyelashes. 

Everyone knows my love for TK Maxx and it just gets better and better! I truly believe TK Maxx will be my only ever commitment I ever make for cosmetics! While doing my weekly rummage there I found that they do a really good stock of eyelashes! The one downfall in TK Maxx is that they either don't change their stock until all the eyelash's have been purchased or they change them to frequently, so you have to make sure you are continuously going in there to check.  

My favourite brand that TK Maxx has in the store near me is let's go. Lashes on demand. They do lost's of different company eyelashes mainly Eylure and Eye Candy here.

Always remember on the TK Maxx website it stocks different products to in store.

I'll just show you the two items I brought on my first trip which was 

Individual long, medium & short Eye Candy lashes. It comes with lash adhesive and obviously long. medium & short individual lashes. These are handmade lashes. 

These lashes are 50's - Individual Combo. These lashes were £2.99 in TK Maxx and these retail at £4.89.

The next eyelashes I brought were Let's Go lashes ON demand. Tube lash adhesive included. These style are medium to long sized, I prefer bigger eyelashes! Glue does contain latex. 

These eyelashes are number 9 - Temptress. These lashes retail prices are £6.50 and in T K Maxx they are £2.99. 

You can find these lashes online, it is a bit harder to find the Let's Go lashes online for some strange reason. 

Make sure you check out your TK Maxx store!
