signs of pregnancy weight loss | An afternoon Strawberry Picking

signs of pregnancy weight loss

Last Sunday as the sun shone, we donned our straw hats and headed to Scaddows Farm in Ticknall, Derbyshire for a spot of strawberry picking. I had never been strawberry picking before, but I had heard rumours that this year was a good year for strawberries, and never one to miss out, we had to go and see for ourselves. 

We arrived at Scaddows Farm to a huge field full of strawberry plants and eager pickers. We collected a punnet box from a van at the top of the field, and then that was it, we were set loose in this enormous strawberry filled field to collect strawberries to our hearts content! 

Even though there were lots of people there, as the field was so so big and there were strawberries as far as the eye could see, there was lots of good spots and space to start picking.  My husband had a good technique of rummaging in the middle of the plants to find the big ones, so me and my daughter left him to it and chased each other up and down trying to find who could pick the biggest strawberry. My daughter may or may not have eaten more than she was giving me (sorry Scaddows).  

After we had filled our box, we headed back to the van where they weighed our strawberry treasure.  I think for the punnet it cost us just under £2, which is a complete bargain, alot cheaper than the shops and much more fun. 

There was a little farm shop too at the top of the farm selling food, drinks and delicious cakes, but I will have to return to try this out. Strawberry picking is something that is so simple, but was such a lovely family afternoon out.  I highly recommend it, and dont strawberries just taste nicer when you have picked them yourself?

Up until pretty recently I had never tried a cream blusher in my life. I thought they would transfer way too easily from my skin and would disappear after about 30 minutes of wearing of them.  However, I tried Soap and Glorys Sexy Mother Blusher and I havent looked back.  I am now addicted to a cream blush. 

When I was in America, I picked up Maybellines Master Glaze Blush Stick in Just Pinched Pink, and this stuff is amazing.  I havent seen it in UK stores yet, but if you see this, definitely pick one up. I have seen them online though, so if youre desperate to get your hands on one give it a Google. 

The Just Pinched pink shade looks very pink and I did wonder when I first picked it up if I had gone a little too pink, but once on the skin the shade is gorgeous.  Its thick and creamy, amazingly pigmented and really easy to apply and blend.  You can go for quite a dramatic look or blend it out for a more natural shade which is what I do.   The staying power is amazing and even on a day when my skin might get a little sweaty, this blush sticks around. 

For around £7 this puts my other powder blushes to shame and its perfect for the Summer months to give your skin that dewy glow.  

What are your thoughts on cream blushers...would you give them a go?

end of pregnancy weight loss | Pregnancy Blog Week 25

Luckily, week 25 has been quite uneventful and Ive had no further catastrophes in pregnancy yoga! I must say, Ive felt much better knowing I dont have to go ever again! Ive felt OK in myself this week, but I still have days where I feel exhausted and then days when I have more energy.  

Ive had a niggling pain right under my ribs all week which gets worse whenever I eat, so thats pretty much all of the time! I think its either baby lying in a funny position, or as Ive read in a pregnancy book, it could be due to my ribs expanding which sounds pretty impressive!

Baby is now the size of a rutabaga if you are interested...which when I Google imaged a rutabaga, looks strangely similar to a swede! 

I was in need of some new maternity clothes, and Im applying the term need loosely here, as the dresses that I had been wearing are now too tight and uncomfortable, and there are only so many times I want to wear a maxi dress!  I popped into Warehouse and found some lovely tops in the sale.  Even though Warehouse dont have a maternity line, I find sizing up the tops works as they tend to be a really nice length and fit over my bump.  The top in the picture was £16 and I got it in a size 16.  I thought when it gets a bit cooler I can wear a chunky cardigan over the top.  

I popped into Topshop and tried a few things on in their maternity range, but I found a few of the dresses to be really short which was a bit disappointing.  I dont think they sometimes account for the amount of fabric it takes to cover the bump and this hitches alot of the hemlines up even more! I ended up buying a pair of Leigh maternity jeans which are super comfy.  

Dont be fooled by the photo above either.  Ive got sunglasses on because all my eye make-up had smudged as I had been running around the park after my daughter all afternoon.  I was exhausted and I think I might be starting with a cold too.  Minutes after this photo was taken, my hair was in a bun, Id taken my make-up off and got into my pjs.  Its glamour all the way here folks...and heres the proof!

Have a lovely weekend!
