Shopping Trolly :)

Hi Guys,

I'm in town doing a bit of shopping while my son is in school and thought I might show you some of the food I get. Every Thursday or Friday I do my food shopping. I go to a few different places it change every week, I mainly go to Tesco, Lidl and Super value oh and maybe Dunes if I can't find what I need somewhere else I'll check there.

I don't buy much in Tesco as I get most of my food in Lidl like my fruit, vegetables, cleaning supply's and sandwich fillers.

This is a snap of my Trolly in Tesco as you can see u don't buy many sweets I do buy the odd pack of biscuits or chocolate yogurt.

Hope you enjoyed the little nose in my Trolly :)

Happy Shopping

Free Tickets!! :)

Hi Guys,

I was on pigsback.com last night just messing around and seen that they do competitions. No matter how many I used to enter I never won so I gave up trying but last night I entered a few that they were running and low n behold.... If you can't guess by the title.... I won :))))

I won a family pass to the Dun Drum pictures to see ParaNorman. It's a cartoon film about a young boy who can see dead people in his town, that's about all I know about it, should be good. Still can't believe I actually won something :)

Go on to pigsback.com and see what you can win.... Good Luck :)

I just took a quick snap shot of a photo I found online so you know what I am on about:)

Workout Routine :)

Hi Guys,

My son is going back to kindergarden in a few days, which means I can get into a proper workout routine and back on my weight loss journey :)

I still haven't figured out what exactly I will be doing and when.... but I do know that I will be using:

My kettle bell set
Workout DVD or YouTube video 
Excersize bike 
and I'll add in a 30-60 minute walk if I can.

I'm going to try and eat every 4-5 hours and take in a little bit more than 2 ltrs of water.

My son is back on Thursday ( 3 days ) so I will be starting a fresh week on Monday morning but I will be working out from Thursday I just won't be following my diet so strictly. I will do a better post later on in the week add photos and what I will be doing and foe how long and probably what I'll be eating if anyone wants to be know :)

Im sorry if I have spelled a few things wrong but I'm on my phone and the screen is pretty crappy.

5 Most Used Products

Hi Guys,

I haven't really been wearing much make up this month due to a little break out, so I thought I would do just the main top 5 things I have used every day for the month of August. 

I recently bought a pair of ear plugs as my son has started to grinding his teeth so bad at night it was keeping me up, the dentist said his teeth are perfect and that grinding his teeth will probably pass and not to worry. I get worried when I wear the ear plugs that I won't hear him if he's calling me but they fall out as soon as I start moving so I hear him every morning. 

I'm using my iPad to write my blog posts so it in my hand for about 20 min a day nearly every day:)

I started to use some face masks the two I am using are : A peel off mask in a bottle you get around 10 uses from it it's an ok mask but the one I prefer is the Murad Clarifying mask that came in a Glossybox it is so good, I always use it at least once a day even doh you should use it twice a day. 

And finally my Nivea Q10 pore refining day cream with SPF 15 I have the night cream to but I always forget to use it... I'm so bad at skin care :(

Dublin Tall Ships

Hi Guys,

Today was an other rainy day in Dublin or in other words a summer day haha instead of spending the day in doors we went down to the Ifsc to see all the tall ships :)

There are around 40 tall ships right all way up the Dublin Docklands that have finished The Tall Ship Race 2012. There's food stalls, music, face painting, kiddies tattoos, a parade plus much more. Even for a rainy day it was still pretty busy there, I couldn't take good photos as I didn't want my phone to get wet ( not that my photos are ever any good haha ). The food stalls where everywhere on both sides of the River Liffey the smell of hot dogs and burgers where so yummy. Myself and my little boy had  some popcorn and ice cream,  I know even on rainy days kids still love ice cream :) before we left we got some hot food chips and pulled pork burgers both weren't so nice.  

On the way home we stopped at some stalls I got some fudge ( I'll be in hell with a migraine later lol)  and my lovely little monkey got a kiddies tattoo, It was just one of those stick on things but he loves it. It was a lovely day out and we are heading back down again tomorrow with all the family so should an other great day. 

Have a lovely weekend, check out the tall ships if you are around.

Make up bag :)

Hi Guys,

I just put up my August Glossybox post and thought I would do a kind of Whats In My Make-Up Bag post. These are the things I keep in my make up in my bath room that I use every morning.  Most mornings I only ever use about 3 or 4 things from my bag like I'll wash my face put moisturiser on ( give my son breakfast ) put on foundation, concealer, blush and mascara. That would be my simple make up for going the park, going to town or down anything else really. If I'm going out at night ( very very rarly ) I would add lippy, eyeshadow and what ever else I have in my make up box :) 

July Glossybox Review

Hi  Guys,

Most of the products I got in last months Glossybox are still full and not even used :( my bad! To be honest I had completely forgotten all about them but I have been using the Lip Frosting every now and again. It smells soooo Yummy and looks great on the lips for summer.... well the few sunny days we get in Dublin anyway. 

Sorry it's a short review I haven't used anything but when I do I will let you know what I think of it.

Oh... I did start using a Glossybox product from a few boxes back, a clarifying mask by Murad.
You apply it to clean dry skin leave for 10 minutes and wash off, it says you should use it twice a day ( morning and night ) but I never have the time so I use it mostly at night or if I do have a few spare minutes in the morning I'll use it to but that's very rarely lol it's great for spotty skin it's so light weight you wouldn't even know you had it on, no smell and doesn't tighten skin. My skin felt and looked so good after I used it, even the redness on the one stubborn spot I have was reduced and is starting to fade away after a few uses. Hopefully it clears up my skin with a few more uses.

What I Ate Today

Hi Guys,

I wasn't to busy today so I was able to do some excersize and take pictures of what I ate.

For breakfast: I had some wetabix and coffee plus some water
For lunch: small wrap with ham and some grapes plus water
For dinner: chicken, penne pasta and tomato chili sauce.

I didn't count any calories for any of the meals, I'm trying to simply eat healthy.

I'm very picky with foods, I love plain foods like for example a bun burger with only sauce things like that.

I also did about 40-45 min workout, I did a Jillian Micheals workout on YouTube. She is one hard trainer, I was sweating buckets after it :) plus I did a 10 min at home kick boxing video to.

Howth Fun Fare

Hi Guys,

Sorry or the lack of posts but my son has like less than two weeks left of his summer holidays, so I'm trying to bring him out to different places nearly ever second day or week end.

We went to howth as there was a fun fare out there for this week end. It was a great day we had ice creams, seen boats, went on loads of different rides, went on a walk to a castle and seen a seal in the harbor.

Walking up to the castle today my lil boy was saying some of the things that he would like to do. So over the next week or two I'm hoping to go fishing, play some pitch n' putt, go on the top less bus tour of Dublin and go to Sea life out in bray :) Oh plus the Tall Ships are docking in the ifsc and there is going to be a small little fun fare there to so that will be an other place to go :)

Mini Refill

Hi Guys,

I was in The Perfume Shop today buying a gift for someone when I seen these handy little travel sized refill perfume bottles. They come in 3 colors but I choose the black, think the other colors where silver and pink!

All you do is take of the top of your perfume ( the little cap where perfume sprays from) and place the refill over it and pump the perfume into the bottle you get around 50 sprays if you fill it to the top. You can see how much you are putting into the refill bottle by the little viewing window.

If you want to play around with your perfume you could pump a few different perfumes in to make up a scent :)

Mereyside Maritime Museum

Hi Guys,

While I was in Dublin Airport I googled a few things to do in Liverpool around where I was staying and came across the Mereyside museum. Its such a lovely museum right down on the docks and has a great Titanic exhibit :) As soon as I checked in, had an hours sleep I was straight down to the docks. It was a fantastic sunny day, ice cream stalls at every corner,  and a FREE  Titanic exhibit. I was like a big child at Christmas walking around the museum it was a great exhibit and I would recommend it to anyone staying in Liverpool and was into the Titanic.

Liverpool Haul :)

Hi Guys,

I'm on my last day in Liverpool:( I've had so much fun it's such a lovely friendly place to go. I only have a small carry on bag so I couldn't do much shopping and every shop I go into I just want to buy everything. There are so many sales on between the kids clothes, adults clothes and make up I just want it all :) I did pick up a few small things but not much.
I will do a separate post with all the make up that I got and the places I went.

I got my son a small Lego set he loves Lego now so I got him a little starter pack (£10), a Liverpool cup + tea bags (£9), shamballa bracelets (2x£10)

I can't remember how much the
American sweets were but I know they weren't over £2 :)
