It’s really hard to find clothes that you feel great in after you’ve given birth. Your body changes shape and it can take you such a long time to feel like yourself again. From chatting to a bunch of new mums we’ve discovered that the majority of you...
We did a post on celebrity birth stories a few weeks ago and it got loads of you chatting so we thought we’d bring you Part 2. Did you feel society’s pressure to have a natural labour, like Kate Winslet? Were you totally zen like Jessica Alba or did you think you were...
When eye-shadow sticks came along a few years ago, the make-up industry was changed forever. They put the intensity of a cream shadow into an easy-to-use stick that was formulated to stay smudgeable for a minute, then set and last for hours without fading. Now...
It’s that time of the year where we get the odd ‘in between’ weather. It’s time to pack away the giant oversized parkas that everyone at the park is wearing, and find something fresh and new that will make you feel good every time you put it...
Leo turns one next week and Belle isn’t too far behind. We’ve both gone wild with the party planning on Pinterest and now we’re starting to think about outfits, because those dodgy first birthday photos hang around forever. *After looking back at pics from our first...
How’s a girl to keep up with her seasonal grooming when one minute it’s snowing and the next its 26 degrees?! There’s no time for an emergency pedi when you have kid (s) in tow.Like many of you, Gemma and I aren’t from London and although Gemma luckily has her mum and...
According to our latest Google search, 40% of women struggle to find the correct fit of jeans for their body shape, and 15% of women have cried real tears over finding the perfect pair. I don’t like to admit it so publicly but I’ve definitely cried over...
Whether they thought it was, ‘zen’ or whether they thought that they were dying, these celebrities have some very, very varied opinions on what childbirth was like. If their testimonies aren’t a convincing argument that labour really isn’t the...
Welcome to the first installment of Make-Up on Mum Trial.If you want to know which concealer covers the darkest of circles, the eyeliner that can withstand tiny hands dragging at it and which mascara won’t smudge or flake despite getting poked in the eye, then you’ve...
Oh the mum tum. Even if you actually manage to lose all that baby weight (congratulations!) you are still most likely left with some sexy saggy skin. It’s lucky that swimsuits have become super fashionable this season as they are perfect for covering up the bits...
We know this sounds superficial (like, really superficial) but one of the main issues that we had during our pregnancies was finding a changing bag that we actually liked. We didn’t see why entering mum-hood meant we had to leave any sort of taste at the door....
For the first few weeks of motherhood, I neglected myself; my skincare regime went out of the window, I didn’t wash my hair (hello, dry shampoo) and I certainly didn’t wear make-up. Then once the after-effects of the brutal bombshell that is childbirth...
Do you wear the same clothes everyday? Do you have a standard ‘mum’ wardrobe? I found that after I gave birth and when my body went more back to how it used to be, I wasn’t interested in anything in my wardrobe. I did a car-boot sale last weekend to...
1. That you have become ‘That Mum’ who shares pictures of your baby to even the Tesco delivery man #BabyBore.2. That you’re singing a song about poo to stop your baby from crying on the changing table. Time to question who you are and what...
Whether you managed to wash your hair during nap time (always the aim but more important things crop up like, erm, Instagram) or your week is sponsored by a can of Batiste and several double-shot americano’s, by 3pm we’re all in the same boat. Today...
