Top Hair Care Products to Rescue Chemically Damaged or Bleached Hair
I’ve always coloured my hair, I get really bored with the same style and am quite lucky that my hair takes well. Having said that over the last year I had a really bad experience with a local (Devon) salon. They completely ruined my hair, I had been growing it out for around 8 months which is a long time for me as my hair grows at slug pace. I went to the salon for balayage but was told it wouldn’t look right on me and they couldn’t do it. So I had to go with highlights – high lift tint. I won’t go into all the details but you…

The Pressures of Half Term
We’ve just come through a long bank holiday weekend and it is now half term. I’m sure I’m not alone in the fact that I think I should be a children’s entertainer for the entire week? But why do I feel immense pressure during the holidays to be busy and do something exciting every day with the children. I keep forgetting the fact that my children are now of an age where we don’t have to get out of the house every single day. It is so important to me that they do get some fresh air though – it does us all the world of good – so even…

Homemade Roasted Spicy Chickpeas
Easy Roasted Spicy Chickpeas This is possibly the easiest snack to make. I really love adding nuts and chickpeas to my meals for extra protein and crunch. However, buying tiny packets of roasted chickpeas can become quite expensive. So I took it on-board to make them myself and they turned out just perfectly. Ingredients 1 x can Chickpeas Spices of your choice – I chose; Curry Powder/Smoked Paprika/Crushed Chillies Oil for coating of your choice – I used Coconut Oil Baking Tray Grease Proof Paper Colander Method First you want to start by pre heating the oven at 220 degrees (electric fan oven).

Mum/Mom Spring School Run Outfits
Hey guys, I hope you had a great weekend. The Spring sunshine finally returned last week after the howling winds and torrential rain. I find Spring really tricky to dress for, I want to be all vibrant and pop a pretty blouse on but then I’m freezing my bits off as it is still so chilly. Anyway, I thought I would share what I’ve been wearing just lately. There is nothing exciting or remotely fancy in any of my outfits as I like comfort. I really wish I was one of these Instagram fashion mums who wear maxi dresses with heels but it just does not fit within my lifestyle.…

What I Eat In A Day
Happy Tuesday guys!! I hope you all had a brilliant bank holiday weekend, no school runs – whoop whoop! Lots of people have messaged me to ask what I’m currently eating, so one day last week I tracked everything I ate and here it is. 6.15am This was an early start but I’m used to getting up before my alarm goes off. I’ve always been a morning person and find it easy to get up and get cracking with the day. I start my morning with taking Thyroxine for my underactive thyroid, I let this go down for around 15 – 20 minutes then I have a probiotic. The only…

Upper GI Endoscopy – My Experience
An Upper GI Endoscopy – what is this you may ask? I wasn’t going to publish this post but when I received my invite for the above procedure I didn’t have a clue what it entailed. Of course I googled the crap out of it and mostly found explanations not real life experiences, and when I did find the odd story on Mumsnet they weren’t good. So, I thought it might be helpful to put my 2 pence worth in and give an honest account of an Upper GI Endoscopy. An Upper GI Endoscopy is a procedure performed by a Consultant Surgeon who uses an endoscope (long flexible tube with…
