post pregnancy weight loss quickly | Flight Essentials

post pregnancy weight loss quickly


Hello everyone, I hope you are all well. As you read this I will be somewhere in America on holiday with my husband and daughter.  I thought Id do a quick post as to my plane essentials. I love the anticipation of holidays, so I have been doing alot of YouTube watching and blog reading to find out what products are recommended for travel.  Without further ado, heres my top flight essentials. 


Soap and Glory Sexy Mother Blusher
I had never tried a cream blush before, but I am now converted.  This blush stick has a lovely creamy texture and blends in easily.  I plan to pop this on before we arrive at our destination so my cheeks will have that pinky glow even if my skin is far from glowing naturally. This is such a convenient stick and less messy than carrying my blush powder and brush. 

Deodorant
I will never use anything other than Dove deodorant.  This is a staple. 

Lip balm and hand cream
Obviously. 

Pain relief sachets
As a mum, I always have to be within an arms reach of some kind of pain relief, just in case of sudden fever or pain.  These sachets are fantastic as they contain a single recommended does of paracetamol and ibuprofen. They are the perfect size for popping in your bag and for travel. 

Toothbrush and toothpaste
I am that strange lady that always steals hotel toiletries.  This is a stolen toothbrush from somewhere.  Its perfect for the plane.  Nobody likes fuzzy teeth. 

Origins Drink Up Intensive Overnight Mask
I had read lots of rave reviews of this product so thought I would give it a go. Normally when I travel, no matter how much moisturiser I put on, my skin resembles that of an iguana when I disembark the plane. My plan is to go bare faced for the flight, with just my eyebrows done and some mascara.  I then plan to apply this mask throughout the flight.  The mask is a clear gel, and after only a few minutes of applying it, I find it has sunk into my skin.  Its deeply moisturising and my skin looks healthy and plump after using it. It contains gorgeous ingredients such as apricot kernel, avocado oil and mango butters and it smells delicious. The best bit is you dont have to wash it off as it is absorbed into the skin. 

So thats my plane essentials and Im ready to go! Are there any flight essentials that I have missed? Comments below please!

quick pregnancy weight loss | Morning Sickness and my first trimester

quick pregnancy weight loss


Before we begin I think I should do a little disclaimer.  Firstly, this post is not meant to scare anyone or put anyone off having children. This is just a truthful and honest account of the first few weeks of my pregnancy.  Secondly, I cannot emphasise enough how happy, blessed and ecstatic I am to be pregnant.  So whilst my first trimester may have been tough, I wouldnt change a bit of it.  OK, I would like less sickness, but you get my point. 

For the first six weeks of my pregnancy I felt absolutely fine.  I had that amazing feeling of being pregnant and keeping it a secret from the whole world.  I couldnt quite believe that it had happened and pretty much day dreamed about our little new addition all day.  Happy days. Then I hit six weeks.  It was almost to the count of midnight on that sixth week that the nausea started.  I can deal with this, I thought. Ive done it once, I can do it again. 


Whichever idiot came up with the word morning sickness has alot to answer for.  Its like saying morning pregnancy, lunchtime marriage, teatime mum.  Exactly.  These things are not limited to one time of day and neither is morning sickness. Though it would do me a huge favour if it were. 

To begin with I had a constant feeling of being nauseas and feeling like I was going to be sick.  I struggled to eat because I didnt want to worsen the horrible sicky feeling. Combined with a horrible metallic taste in my mouth it wasnt good. I relieved the taste by frequently spitting, and my dad even commented I should have a spit bucket because he had saw me do it that often.  Nice. 

To make my myself feel better I would go to bed at a ridiculous time, like 6.30pm because I couldnt stand the sickness feeling.  I would rather be asleep than be awake and experience it. The nausea gradually got worse though, to the point where I felt sick in my sleep and I felt I had no respite from it.  I forced myself to do my everyday tasks but really struggled.  I went past caring how I looked to take and collect my daughter from pre-school, but I think on one particular occasion they hardly recognised me as her mum. Sad times. 

By around 9 weeks the nausea had progressed to me actually being sick, at any time of day, but mainly in the morning and any-time past 3pm. And this is how it has been for the last 5 weeks.  It has really got me down. And the I have felt guilty that it has got me down when I should be really happy.  And then I have felt guilty for not being a good mum to my toddler or good wife to my husband. I just didnt feel like me anymore. 

Whilst my life revolved around either running to the toilet or lying on the toilet floor, my daughter had to either sit next to me playing with her toys or sit watching TV.  I felt so awful and I felt like a terrible mum.  My husband suffered too (though obviously not as much as me).  To start with he had to listen to my constant vomiting, normally when he was eating his tea.  And then there was the fact he hardly saw me.  When he got home from work I was usually in my pjs and lay in bed, crying.  And thats the other thing.  I am a definite crier when I am ill.  I just cant help it.  So you can imagine how many times Ive cried.  Oh no, you cant actually, because Ive cried so much I think I now hold the world record. 

Through all of this, we hadnt told any friends we were expecting as we wanted to wait until our 12 week scan.  I lied to one friend that I had a sickness bug.  I lied to another that I was really busy and couldnt possibly meet her for lunch.  I then worried that when I did feel better I would have no friends left. 

But for the last week, I have felt different.  The nausea is still there but I am definitely vomiting less.  My energy is returning and I am able to do things that I wouldnt dream of doing a few weeks ago.  I also feel like me again which is amazing. 

I know everyones pregnancy is very different, but I wanted to share my experience. I think feeling so awful at the start of pregnancy is really at odds with how we think it should be.  We imagine feeling fabulous, looking glowing and being so happy and excited. And whilst I was happy and excited, feeling so ill really impacted how I felt emotionally. If anyone is going through the same, hang on in there.  It does get better. You will get through it. I also think I didnt realise how guilty I would feel for feeling absent from my toddler and absent from my husband and friends.  With hormones all over the place and constant crying it has been tough.  But I think everyone whos had to put up with me is sighing with relief that Im feeling more myself. Everyone accept my daughter who unfortunately has now perfected a horrible vomiting noise and I think is actually quite disappointed she cant watch the TV much now.  

Whilst I may hold that record for most amount of tears shed, I plan to break that record with happy tears when I get to hold my second baby in November. Hello second trimester, Im ready for you.

pregnancy weight loss quotes | Barry M Daylight Curing Polish Review

pregnancy weight loss quotes


I had been searching for a long lasting nail polish to wear for my holidays after giving up on a fantasy of leisurely getting gel nails done (I was very limited on both time and money). I came across the Barry M Daylight curing polishes which promised professional salon gel nails from home without the need for a UV lamp.  It sounded good to me.  

I picked up the shades Do It Like A Nude and Peach For The Stars and then also bought the special top coat which you apply to transform the polish to a gel like shine. The instructions state to apply two thin coats of the colour and finish with a coat of the Daylight Curing Topcoat.  You then wait for the polish to dry in natural sunlight for the polish to cure and give you long lasting hi gloss nails. All of the polishes are removed with normal nail polish remover.   


I found that Do It Like A Nude needed three coats for it to become opaque.  But the drying time was pretty quick and I found once I got to the last nail, I could start again reapplying another coat to the first nail. The top coat added a gorgeous shine to my nails and dried quickly too. 

The formula on my nails definitely looked more high shine and glossy than my usual polishes and its staying power was also longer too.  I had read somewhere that it can give you up to 10 days wear, and whilst that may be true to toe nails, on my finger nails I noticed chips appearing after 4 days, but to be fair, I didnt take any extra care with my nails.  I think on holiday the longevity of the polish would be increased.  

I would definitely recommend giving these polishes a go and they come in a range of pretty colours, and for £4.99 each this is alot cheaper than getting nails done professionally. The polishes are also on currently offer at Boots. For me, the staying power may not be 10 days, but I think the high shine and gorgeous colour more than made up for it. 

Have you tried Barry M Daylight curing polishes? Would love to hear your thoughts in the comments below.  

Thanks for reading,
