Hello dolls
It feels like a very long time since I posted one of these, and my life is completely unrecognisable from the last time I did.
Having a baby has turned my life totally upside down and nothing is the same as before.
Genuinely I didn't realise how full on having a newborn is. You think- they sleep a lot, don't they? But I didn't realise it only tends to be in short bursts to begin with.
You find yourself trapped in an endless cycle of nappy change, feed, soothe, sleep that somehow consumes each day.
Theo is what I call a 'Velcro baby' as well- meaning he cries everytime you put him down!
Some days it's honestly as much as I can do to grab a shower! I never realised it would be quite so intense, but despite all that I have been enjoying it as well.
Here's what we've been up to lately...
What to do about this seasonal dilemma? Well, there is a beauty solution out there that I always turn to and that is a good oil.
Oils are a multi-tasking wonder product and one of the first things I turn to when I need to give my skin or my hair an extra boost.
They can smoothe, calm and add lustre easily. And despite sounding counter intuitive, if you suffer from oily skin, they can be exactly what you need.

A handbag is an essential accessory for nearly all of us women! A handbag can not only finish off the outfit, but it can help define your style too.
There are many reasons for choosing each handbag. The style, the fabric, the colour and the size are just a few of them.
I honestly cannot live without my handbag. In fact, I might go as far as to say I live in my handbag. Everything I could possibly need during the course of the day is in there. I have lipgloss for every morning and night of the week.
And all my essentials are thrown in and out every day too. But each of my handbags was chosen to coordinate with one or more outfits. This means I may have quite a lot of handbags around!
You may have suspected I wouldn't have had a chance to do much shopping in my first month as a new mummy, but that's where you'd be underestimating me.
In fact, when you're pinned to the sofa breastfeeding for hours every day, there's actually not much else to do than scour the shops online one handed on your tablet!
It's been a strange month for sure, maybe it's the sleep deprivation but I haven't really felt with it a lot of the time.
I've spent hours scrolling through Pinterest and wishing I was thin and stylish with time to do my hair.
The reality is you're lucky to get a daily shower in with a demanding newborn.
I'm also desperate to get out of my maternity clothes. Its horrible to still have to wear them after pregnancy and I'm so keen to lose the baby weight and feel like myself again.
So I have been shopping in the hope I'll be able to wear these items and play with the makeup soon!
Well, guess who's been window shopping again?
Although I don't have as much time for playing around with make-up with my little boy to look after, that doesn't mean that my obsession with the stuff has stopped.
I still lust after pretty potions and powders, and as usual I have a wishlist as long as my arm of products I want to try! Lots of treats have been catching my eye lately, from high end to high street - great makeup is everywhere at every price point at the moment. It's very hard for a beauty junkie to resist!
Here's my pick of autumn beauty stunners that I'd like to add to my collection.
