yoga for post pregnancy weight loss video | NOTD Barry M Nightshade

yoga for post pregnancy weight loss video

I love a really dark nail and this colour is amazing.  I had tried a Barry M nail paint before and I wasnt that impressed with it, I think it was quite a pale colour and I felt the application was streaky.  But this polish has redeemed my faith in Mr.Barry M and I am in love with this colour.   

Its the nail paint in shade 359, Nightshade.  In the bottle it looks a very dark purple/maroon colour and once applied its an even deeper colour, almost black, but not as harsh, as it has got the warmth of the purple/maroon in it.  I got amazing colour and shine from two coats. It dried really quickly and lasted a few days without chipping - I am way too lazy for a top coat so it would probably last longer if you used one. 

For only £2.99 this is my favourite purchase this week and I think this colour is gorgeous for Christmas.  

Are there any nail colours you would recommend at the moment? Comments below please!

vegan pregnancy weight loss | A Phone Amnesty

vegan pregnancy weight loss

A year ago I wouldnt have classed myself as a particular checker of the phone.  I could quite happily leave my phone under the bed all day and then retrieve it hours later to several texts and missed calls. Sometimes it would probably be easier for people to contact me via pigeon rather than my phone. I had hardly any apps and I only checked my emails when I could be bothered to turn on my laptop. 

How times have changed.  That little phone now contains my life. My email, Twitter, Instagram, Whats App, The OK! app (I so love this app). My phone constantly buzzes and vibrates to inform me of likes, whats trending, messages, Whats app messages, voucher codes, shopping deals, breaking news...you get the picture.  You dont look at the buzz and you feel you are missing something.  Look at the buzz and you dont even realise youre doing it. 

This blog post isnt anti-phones.  It just that I do catch myself looking on that little iPhone a bit too much for my liking. I caught myself checking out Kim Ks outfit whilst Baba was eating her lunch the other day.  I mean how bad a mum am I? Annabel Karmel would have a fit.  Would I like it if Baba read a newspaper at the table instead of talking to me? Erm, nope.  So I should show her the same courtesy and manners back.  

Other times Im looking at someone twirling around in their Prada shoes whilst I am on the floor cleaning up Weetabix from my carpet (I am sure Baba stashes it up her pyjama legs then drops it on the floor in little mounds in the style of the Great Escape).  But, surely I can wait a bit longer before giving their pic a thumbs up.

So I have made the decision to try and live in the woods and resort to message by carrier pigeon.  Only joking.  But I am going to try to make a conscious effort to reduce the amount of time I take a peek at my phone. I might even leave it under the bed for a morning.  Im not that important so Im sure without my online input the world will continue to turn.

But in all seriousness, I see my daughter watching me, and I wonder what she thinks as Im on my phone.  As she gets older I dont want her permanently stuck to a mobile or laptop. I will keep you posted as to how my attempted phone amnesty goes, and if nothing else, I think it will make me think twice before scrolling through and clicking away. Yes, technology is wonderful and pretty amazing.  But its all about having that balance.  And alot of the time the most amazing stuff is happening on our side of that little screen, we just need to be present in the moment to see it. 

What do you think? I am panicking over nothing? Do you use your phone alot? Fancy joining my amnesty? Comments below please! And if you need me urgently between the hours of 12 and 4 then feel free to make the sound of a cuckoo and I will try and respond to your call!

pregnancy after vsg weight loss surgery | Manchester Christmas Markets

pregnancy after vsg weight loss surgery

There is nothing that screams Christmas to me more than visiting a Christmas Market (that and watching the Grinch).  And thats exactly where me, Baba, my mum and sister went on Sunday for a girlie Christmas shopping trip to Manchester.  We stayed overnight and enjoyed lots of shopping, (some more than others...erm, that will be me then), food, chatter and champagne. As is life, Baba started to become unwell towards the end of the trip with a nasty cough and cold and we had to cut the trip short.  I apologise to the lovely van man who I completely blocked in on a small side street as I dashed from the drivers seat to console a very upset daughter in the middle of the road.  But before that chaos, we got up to alot before we left. So come with us on our Christmas market adventure!  

We arrived on the Sunday morning (is it me...or is it like a military operation trying to leave a house on time with a two and half year old?). We first dropped our bags off at the gorgeous 5 star hotel, The Lowry. Overlooking the River Irwell it is right in the heart of Manchester, and if its luxury you are after, this is the hotel for you. We immediately wandered into town to start our shopping expedition. 

"Hello Manchester"

After hitting a few shops and a few sneaky purchases, we stopped for lunch at The Botanist which is this gorgeous eatery on Deansgate. The restaurant is a little like walking into Alice in Wonderland. The ceiling is covered in twinkly lights and it was almost like walking through an enchanted forest to sit at our table at the back. The staff were lovely and very accommodating of Baba.  (She was very impressed with her colouring pack).  The food was delicious, and we all shared a sharing (!) platter.  Unfortunately, my blogging skills failed me.  I havent taken a single picture of the restaurant...I was way too busy eating and entertaining Baba.  But, you can check out The Botanist website here and please trust me when I say you need to visit!

"Taxi!"

We spent the afternoon in the centre shopping and made our way back to the hotel where we got ready for a meal in the restaurant. 

"Cheese! Now lets go eat!!"

Again, such yummy food.  They have a set menu for £24.95 for three courses with a glass of prosecco or wine.  The setting was so picturesque overlooking the river and Baba was very happy to watch all of the twinkly lights reflecting on the water.  The staff again were so accommodating of our extra little guest, and Baba wolfed down her special two course meal. Whilst I took Baba to bed, my mum and sister stayed in the bar for a quick drink.  They spotted a few famous clientèle (this is such a celebrity spot hotel!), before returning to the room and telling me all about it! 

Refreshed and raring to go, we woke up early.  No, sorry, that is a lie. Baba woke up early, and so we dragged ourselves out of bed, dressed and headed to Moose Coffee for breakfast.  This is such a fabulous little find by my sister.  Me and Baba shared blueberry pancakes with maple syrup which were AMAZING! And Baba enjoyed trying to spot as many Mooses as she could! You can check out Moose Coffees website here.

"OOTD at The Lowry. I so wish I had a walk in closet"

On Monday morning we went to visit the Manchester Christmas markets.  There are over 300 stalls dotted around Manchester and you can easily walk between them all.  Each has its own theme and attractions. There is fresh produce, gifts, food and drinks from all over the world including Germany, Spain, France and Hungary to name but a few. 

"Market Time"

For the little ones (and adults too), there are lots of little surprises including a singing tree (we spent waaaaay to long listening to this guy!).  

There is also the unmissable giant Santa.

Obviously a singing and talking moose, 

and more twinkling lights than you can shake a stick at.  Even if you have done all of your Christmas shopping (really?!) or if you like to leave it all until Christmas eve (sis, thats you), definitely visit to really get into the Christmas spirit and soak up the atmosphere.   

And if it gets too cold, just hop into any of the wonderful craft exhibitions dotted along the route.  We went into the Manchester Town Hall where they had lots of stalls selling unusual gifts and treats. And how gorgeous is the town hall inside? 

"Cheese. Now lets go and get coffee :-) "

The Manchester Christmas Markets quite rightly draw people from all over the UK and further afield.   If you can get up / or down (depending where you are) for a day or weekend, I highly recommend it.  And for some more Manchester food inspiration, you can check out my other Manchester blog here.

I loved it so much, Im taking the husband and Baba again next month. Shopping, Santa, and mulled wine.  Whats not to love?
