January Favourites 2017

How has January been and gone already? I know that a lot of people don’t seem to like January, but I love it. It could have something to do with it being my birthday month, but there’s just something about the start of the year that I enjoy.

These are my January Favourites 2017.

Too Faced Sweet Peach Palette

I got this pretty much as soon as it came into stock in Debenhams. I was devastated when I couldn’t get my hands on this the first time around, so I made sure to snap it up when I had the chance. I’ve not tested every shade yet, but the few that I have, I have loved! I especially like luscious. This palette also smells like peaches, and you can’t get better than that really. I just really love it.

Makeup Obsession Contour Powder Light

I tried this once and applied way too much, which put me off as it was way too hard to blend out. It took me a while to try it again, but I’m glad I did. I went in with a light hand, and the results were so much better. This shade is perfect for my pale skin, it isn’t muddy or orange. A little goes a long way, and I love that it only costs £3.

Redken One United All in One Multi Benefit Treatment

January Favourites 2017 | Redken 25 in one

I took this on holiday with me, and I’m very glad that I did. When I’ve been away my hair is always left feeling dry and pretty horrible, however not this time. After towel drying my hair, I would run this through the ends and my hair felt so much better. I also used this on dry hair and it made it so much easier to brush, which was much needed after being up all day and being in the sea.

Charlotte Tilbury Liv it Up Lipstick

January Favourites 2017 | Liv it Up Lipstick

I am planning on doing a full blog post on this, so I won’t go into too much detail here. I got this lipstick for Christmas and I love it. The formula is gorgeous, it’s extremely creamy which means it isn’t drying at all, but this means it doesn’t last all day, as I got about four hours from this before needing to re apply. The colour is absolutely stunning, and I’ve not seen anything like it. It’s a ballet pink.

Gossip Girl

I have no idea why it has taken me so long to watch this, but I loved it. I’ve just finished the final season and now I don’t know what to do with myself. Also that ending… I won’t spoil it, but… yeah.

Adventure of the Seas

January Favourites 2017 | Adventure of the Seas
In January we had a family holiday onboard the Royal Caribbean cruise ship; Adventure of the Seas. It was such a dream, and I loved every second of it. Cruising has my heart, as it’s such a good way to travel. I love having port days and being able to explore multiple locations on one holiday. It’s such a good way to see the world.

Those were my January Favourites 2017.

What have you been loving throughout January?

Thank you for reading!

    When I finished watching Gossip Girl, I didn't know what to do either! I actually watched the show for the second time last November! Now I'm watching Scrubs, which isn't the same thing at all, but its helping to fill the void xxx

    Too Faced is the best! Funny you should mention Gossip Girl, I love it so much and I'm in the middle of rematching the entire series, on season 5 and I'm not sure what I'll do when I finish haha!

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

Water play keeping us sane in the first heatwave🌊

@trenthamestate days are our favourite🌳

Making a strawberry cheesecake went as well as the cupcakes😂🍓

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
