pregnancy weight loss postpartum | Fashion Fix Friday The £8 Espadrilles

pregnancy weight loss postpartum


Espadrilles are everywhere at the moment, but Ive not found a pair that I have loved enough or had the chance to buy.  But, whilst in my local Tesco, I spotted these beauties for only £8 and I had to snap them up!!

Unfortunately, they didnt have my size in store, but I ordered them from the Tesco website and they were delivered to my local store within two days free of charge! 



They are a really comfortable fit, well made and with a very subtle metallic thread running through the cream upper material. I certainly wouldnt describe them as sparkly and that very subtle shimmer is what I love about them. They are perfect for the Summer, throwing on with jeans or a Summer dress.  You may be able to hunt these espadrilles down in your local Tesco, or they are still available on the Tesco website, but be quick as they only have certain sizes left. 

Hope you all have an amazing weekend,

baby weight loss percentage calculator | Pregnancy Blog Week 20

baby weight loss percentage calculator


Eeek, how exciting! My first proper pregnancy blog! I had all intentions of blogging weekly about my pregnancy, but my little friend called morning constant sickness put a stop to that little idea (you can read about me sobbing in the bathroom here).  But, onto less sicky things and more happy tales now...I am twenty weeks pregnant and half way there! 


We had our twenty week scan this week which was amazing.  I didnt think I would be nervous, but I barely slept the night before and had a very strange dream involving a baby chimpanzee and a hot air balloon (dont ask).  The sonographer took what felt like ages doing her measurements and checks.  There was alot of me jigging around as baby was quite low down, and after she had tilted the bed and me upside down, she managed to get her measurements and then talked us through the scan.  Everything was absolutely perfect and as it should be.  

We asked not to know the sex of the baby, but I dont know, I thought the face looked like a boy.  But dont count on me for any intuition, as I was convinced my daughter was a boy throughout my pregnancy.  

We did take our daughter along to the scan and she peered suspiciously at the screen, before returning to her game of snap! 

Week 20 of my pregnancy is going well.  I am starting to feel a little more tired than I would normally.  Ive had no real cravings, except if you count wanting every single food substance.  I feel like my body is making up for the fact that I hardly ate in the first 4 months of my pregnancy and I think I am certainly a tad heavier than I was last month. But honestly, I dont care.  The feeling of not feeling nauseous or being sick is AMAZING and Im still on a high from actually feeling well, being able to do things and not spending the majority of my waking day in the bathroom.  

I am slathering myself in Palmers stretch mark cream and then for good measure, I also top up with Bio-oil.  Im like an oily fish when I emerge from the bathroom.  I have noticed a few little stretch marks on my hips and I cant remember if they appeared during my first pregnancy or not. I do know my body is a bit smaller this pregnancy because of all the running I did late last year (I did run a half-marathon...I tell this to everyone-whether they are interested or not :-)).  But I can honestly say, I dont give two hoots about these little lines.  My body has got to grow and my thankfulness of actually having the chance to have a healthy second baby outweighs any lines that appear on this body of mine! 

Im feeling lots of movement, and I think I felt little flutterings from around week 16, which I know is pretty early.  Its lovely to feel and Mr.Bee has even managed to feel the kicks too.  I love this stage of pregnancy, and did I mention Im on a high from not feeling sick? :-)

Thank you for reading,

baby weight loss plan | Laid Back Santa Barbara

baby weight loss plan


Our American road trip continued, and we arrived in Santa Barbara quite late in the afternoon (we had previously stopped at Monterey, San Francisco and New York).  We arrived and unpacked at our base, Lavender Inn By The Sea.  This was a lovely little place to stay, just a short drive to the beach and with lots of lovely finishing touches such as complimentary cheese and wine in the evenings, and mine and my daughters personal favourite, freshly baked cookies and milk in the afternoons.  

But dont think its all glamour.  We had now been away for just over a week, with alot of stops, and packing and unpacking.  We really needed to get some clothes washed, and in all of the places we had stayed, dry cleaning was $10 per sock, or something silly.  We hopped into the car for a bit of local exploration and found ourselves at a very very local laundrette where we spent the next hour washing and drying our clothes.  All I can say is, dont waste your time with Disney world, my daughter found the whole experience quite exciting.  Ive never seen a toddler so happy pushing a huge laundry cart up and down the aisles of washing machines and driers! 


"Glamour" 

The next morning we awoke early, and after a delicious breakfast, we visited the local beach and pier.  It was amazing to see dolphins playing in the sea, just metres out in the clear waters.  And along the pier, we met huge pelicans hoping to get lucky and waiting for the local fishermen to drop a fish. 




The obvious thing to do on a beach when you are a toddler is to dig a hole and then climb in it! 



Our day consisted of wandering around the beautiful coastline and eating. It was perfect. Santa Barbara had a really lovely laid back vibe, was really clean and easy to get around. 

I was a little shocked at the huge homeless population in Santa Barbara. I dont think I have ever visited anywhere where I have seen so many homeless people. There seemed to be so many that I actually Googled it and there appears to be a real homeless community, and I guess need for aid there.  We never felt unsafe or hassled whilst we were wandering around, but it is something that shocked me and made me feel quite sad for these individuals whose life is on the streets.  

I would highly recommend a stop in Santa Barbara.  There was so much to do and see, and we really could have spent several more days there. The city itself was so picturesque with a beautiful coastline on one side and rolling mountains on the other.  

We left very early in the morning, and headed back along the Pacific Coast Highway 1, for our fifth and final stop, San Diego.
