Song Of The Week #2

Helloo,

Last week I started a new little thing of sharing a song that either myself or Corey have been loving. It won't always be everyone's taste of course but it is ours :) I actually have a song that I only discovered this week and it has pretty much been on repeat. It's such a lovely song!

There isn't actually an official video for this yet so I have posted the lyric version so you actually have something to look at rather than just a picture!

Such a beautiful song - what do you think? :)

Love, Gemma xo

Young Boy's Wedding Outfit ❤

Helloo,

I've never really done fashion before on the blog, but I am going to try start to do a weekly feature every Friday now, whether it be something of Corey, accessories or myself. I'm not sure how well they will go as I am no pro at this, okay far from it really.

This time last week Corey and I got to go to a family wedding so I thought I would share what he wore as he looked so very handsome :) I just can't help but say 'awww' every time I look at these photos of him!!Considering he was the only child at the wedding, he was SO well behaved for a change. Everyone made a fuss over him and mentioned all the time by strangers on how much of a credit he is to me. *super proud mummy moment* :)

Enough of the wedding chit chat and onto the outfit..

3 Piece (Shirt, Tie & Waistcoat) - £22

Trousers - £14

Shoes - £32

These all came from good old Next who are my guilty pleasure for all things children and homeware. I absolutely love them. I actually brought the shoes a long time ago for school in size 12. They fit him perfectly now and he said how comfy there were. Although I really would not have paid £32 for them however these are what they have in stock at the moment and look identical. As for the suit well I had my eye on it for ages and I wasn't going to purchase but I did in the end a few days before in size 4-5.. Fit perfectly but no growing room at all especially in the trousers which were tight around his bum. Really could of done with 5-6 in them but they were out of stock. Such good quality and he loved it being navy and he just looked so handsome. How many times can I say handsome ey? I'm bias but it's so true! 

So there you have it my first fashion post, it was pretty nerve wrecking pressing publish on this so pretty please let me know what you think and if you would like to see more..

Love, Gemma xo

August 2015 - Monthly Favourites #6

Helloo,

Back with yet another #monthlyfavourites post so lets just get straight into it..

Because it is the summer holidays, we have been doing everything together - with that in mind this month's favourites are kind of combined :)

*Mummy & Corey Loves*

School Holidays
London Eye & Sealife
Family Wedding
Cadbury's World Trip

This month's family photo.. It was that hard to get a nice photo of both of us, that I had to stick two together as we both looked good in different ones. Hence the massive line down the middle. But either way, I really do love this photo :)

What was your favourite thing of this month? :)

Love, Gemma xo

Helloo,

So guess what?! I will be starting YouTube again, hopefully. There will be a video every Wednesday.

DON'T FORGET TO GIVE THE VIDEO A THUMBS UP TOO PLEASE :)

Like I mentioned there will be a new video every Wednesday, probably going up at around 8am like all my posts do - but don't count me on it.

MAC Studio Fix Fluid & Powder Foundation - Review

Hellooo,

This time last year I took the plunge and ordered the Estee Lauder Double Wear Foundation which has been my absolute holy grail ever since. But I had wanted to the infamous MAC Studio Fix for a while, so I finally decided too and thought I would share my thoughts..

........................

Okay so below is pictures on how it looks on the skin. In the first picture I have done my usual skincare routine with Body Shop Tea Tree and Aveeno Cream. I have also primed with Body Shop Tea Tree Pore Primer which is silicone based so great for smoothing my uneven skin. I also use the Bare Minerals Prime Time Neutralising Primer which is yellow and looks scary, but it really does help balance out my redness and is really great. 

So just a bit of background on my skin type, I am super pale and have very oily acne prone skin. It sucks but you know lots of us suffer. The shade I picked up was NW10 in both the liquid foundation and powder foundation. This is the lightest shade possible, I didn't swatch or try before hand. It seems to suit me quite well actually. Compared to Estee Lauder I have in Shell, the lightest shade which is still slightly a bit dark for me. I was told that the powder foundation oxidises and comes out darker so I admit I was a little worried. I have tried each out in many ways, however, I prefer them seperately. The liquid foundation is amazing and I have to admit may just be replacing my Estee Lauder but I do not like it with the powder foundation on top - it changes the colour and looks weird. The powder foundation on its own for when I am just relaxing at home or whatever is absolutely amazing. They both have really good full coverage. Price is expensive but I think worth it and I will certainly repurchase the liquid foundation. Hopefully they will last a long time :)

There's my review. If you have either of these please let me know your thoughts or if you have maybe a drugstore alternative I would really love to know :) 

Love, Gemma xo

Song Of The Week #1

Helloo,

A new little feature that I am starting is my favourite song of the week, it's a bit random and I know my taste isn't everyone's taste. There will be some old school songs and some current charts or really random that I've found. I know it is a bit random but music is a big part of my life - Corey and I regularly have sing a longs in the car. So I am starting of with one of Corey's favourite songs at the moment, he knows word for word and he loves it :) Well who doesn't love a bit of Ed Sheeran ey?!

Love, Gemma xo

22nd Birthday - What I Got!

Helloo,

I thought I would share with you what I got for my 22nd birthday which now was very almost a month ago - whoops! Blogging has taken a bit of a back seat due to the summer holidays and my wifi not working but finally back to normality. I had a great birthday, just a relaxed day and yummy meal with the family before heading out with the girls into town. I suffered from my first ever hangover, it was not nice. But the night was worth it! Then a long drive to Wales on the Monday to get away for a few days which was just absolutely lush - read about that here :) I've included some bits that were picked up there too as just had to share the cuteness of some of it! 

BIRTHDAY 

I forgot two of my main presents, a new camera and a gorgeous Fiorelli handbag :) I am sure they will make an appearance on the blog soon! Plus I received money to do my own bits of shopping :)

This 'Peachy Keen' scent is incredible! I'm obsessed with bath and shower things, I just love the smells.

WALES

These are some bits that Corey picked up with his money, of course all Avenger theme and he also got a few bits of clothes and a Captain America costume complete with shield!! :) Found a new love for ASDA clothing! 

Below are the most comfiest and cutest pyjamas ever, from Primark!

So there you have it - some of the bits I got for my birthday and picked up in Wales :) Is there anything here that caught your eye that you like the look of? Or what is at the top of your wishlist?

Love, Gemma xo
