Four Amazing Body Products

In the winter, its just normal for your skin and body to get a little bit dry. Luckily I've never suffered with badly dry skin or body but in the winter I get small dry patches on my legs which I have finally found the perfect 4 products to keep the dryness away. Hands down these 4 products are so reasonable price but also so high in quality. Amazing!!!  

1 - Raspberry Shower Gel | The Body Shop
 I absolutely love any of the body shop shower gels and I always stock up on them when there is a sale on. To start with I wash myself with this and you literally need a little tiny bit and the smell of fresh raspberry's lingers on your body. 


2 - The Scrub of Your Life | Soap And Glory
Hands down without a fail the best scrub I have ever tried and will never stop using. The smell of rose, peach and just pure freshness stays on your body and makes you feel so relaxed. I use this in the summer to exfoliate and to remove fake tan and in the winter to get rid of dry skin. I cannot fault this at all. Little goes along way and I'm literally got about 4 weeks left of use so it is on my Christmas list!! 


3 - Butter Yourself | Soap And Glory
This is an moisture lotion which I rub into my body when it's slightly damp as this product soaks into the skin amazing. The scent is Shea butter, Orange and Mango which is very fruity. It leaves you soft and smooth. 


4 - The Righteous Butter | Soap And Glory
So after I apply the Butter yourself I obviously go into my bedroom apply my night face toner and moister and about 10 minutes later I apply this amazing butter. This scent lasts forever on your body when you have applied it which is one of the reasons I love it as most butters scents fade away very quickly. It simply soaks in your skin and makes you skin fee like satin. This is a good one for people with dry skin. 




Here is my 4 step 4 products that I religiously use in the colder months. Body care is something Im really lazy about but since getting and loving these products I have made myself use them. To be fair all of the products from Soap and Glory & The Body Shop may be on the pricey side but they are 100% worth the money and are amazing products. I only really get dry legs in the winter but this 4 step 4 products are the answer to my dryness. I'd recommend all of this products to anyone even if you don't suffer with dryness, they are still amazing to keep your body smooth and moisture. Luckily I have double of each of these items so I keep the Soap and Glory Lotion and Body Butter in my room and also my bathroom which makes me never forget to apply them. What are you winter items you adore?

Blogmas Day Two

2nd day of December.. 

Yesterday my Mother put up the Christmas tree which is a crap skinny white tree so its safe to say she get 0 out of 10 for effort!! Because Im not feeling Christmas this year, I don't care about the tree!! If Ava was living here I would of went all out and got a real tree, hundreds of lights and decorations because kids make Christmas million times better. 

This is my Advent Calender this year haha. Last year in September I gave up Fizzy drinks, Crisps and chocolate so I had a Yankee Candle advent calender which was amazing but I didn't get much use out of the tea lights you get in there and mostly my Mother used them so this year I knew I wasn't going to get this years version but I left it too late to buy the Benefit make up one or the body shop one Damn!!! So I got this in the poundshop which came with a few chalk and its actually quite cute and is a nice decoration to my room. Im still trying to find a small Christmas tree for my room but they are sold out everywhere GRRR. 

And here are my dogs advent calenders hahaha!! I get them these every year and now after they go for their morning wee and water after they both wait in the lounge for me to open these haha!!! Im now on the hunt for some doggy xmas clothing because that is what Christmas and cute dogs are about!!!! DRESSING UP!!!! lol 


Not much has happened today. Last night I wrapped a few of Ava's Christmas pressies up and I thought I would have a quick hour cat nap because I was feeling pain from back but it ended up to be an 5 hours sleep!! Today, I've woken up in pain so nothing much has happened. Bethany had a scan today to check if Bella is okay and Bella was fine :) She now weighs 6lbs 15oz so now it is just a waiting game. I'm off to Beth's this weekend in Essex as it is Ava's 3rd birthday so Im hoping Bella makes a early appearance then haha!!! I spoken to Beth last night and she said she will be taking over Blogmas some days which will be good as I find Beth is the most creative person with her words and I'm more of the technical side of the blog lol. Also some blogmas will be done via our iphones and some by my laptop.You will tell by the content tbh but we will try our best to make sure each post are least interesting to read!!

Its November

Hello everyone :) We can't believe it is November already!!

Well October has flown by! It was a month with ups and downs with good news and bad news and with some exciting events. It just went so quick! October is a perfect example of how how quick 2014 is going. So now we say hello to November, a month packed full of exciting events! Including it being Beth's last full month of pregnancy, here is some of the exciting things happening this month...

Bonfire Night ( Giant Sparklers are ready )

Get ready grad your ear defenders, come the 5th there will be bangs everywhere in the form of sparkling bright colours lighting up the sky! As scary as the noise can be no one can deny the enjoyment you get of watching all the bright colours light up the sky. This bonfire night we have some giant sparklers to celebrate the event, being right next to Lego land we get to watch the magnificent fire work display from the back garden. Beth's dad may also be doing fireworks for them when they go and visit this Friday!. 

Beth's last West Ham home game (til after Bella's Birth)

Beth is a big time West Ham United fan. She is also a season ticket attending every home game she can and some away. Being quite a walk ect Beth has been getting lifts directly to ground. However as she increases in size and is less mobile its getting more difficult for her to attend. Therefore Beth will be attending her last game on Saturday 8th November before Bella is born.

Beth,Tommy & Ava Weekend in Essex

Beth, Tommy and Ava are all going to Essex on the weekend of her  last home game at west ham. They are going to visit Beth's parents which they all look forward too. Ava in particular gets very excited to see her other grandparents as she is very close to Beth's dad. A true granddads girl. Beth will be going to West Ham on the Saturday and then on the Sunday they will all be going to London for remembrance Sunday.

Beth's Baby Shower

Its here! The month of Beth's baby shower! An event that we have been planning for a while. We have last minuet shopping to do and baby shower cake ordering! Last minuet bits that add to the build up of and event to celebrate the upcoming arrival of baby Bella Mai. With a tea party theme and lots of games planned, the shower promises to be a good one!

Lots of Bella related stuff : Packing hospital bag, Bella's bag and getting her clothes washed and ready.

OMG its the last full  month of Beth being pregnant! We cant believe it it has gone so fast! Now is the time to get bums in gear and start getting organised. Its the month where everyone will be getting ready for Bella to be born. Beth in particular. She will be washing all Bella's clothes and turning them out ready for her to wear she will then be packing her hospital bag. She does currently have all the bits to go in it, it is just a matter of putting them all in the case. A busy mummy preparing to become a proud mother of two. She is so excited and cant wait to get that bag packed and ready!

Getting decorations and sorting out Ava's 3rd Birthday Party

This time 3 years ago it was Ava's birth Beth was getting ready for. You know what that means, yes Ava's 3rd birthday is coming up! We are all equally excited about this but as Bella's due date is right on top of Ava's birthday Beth don't know where she will be (i.e giving birth) so we are having to make plans for different scenarios. Of course we will be making present plans and cake plans because no matter what we will make sure she has what she deserves. Our gorgeous little girl.

Lots and lots of Christmas Planning. 

Its that time of year. When the 1st November hits the whole world goes into Christmas mode. Everyone gets out their Christmas lists and hit the shops and we are not any different. We are making our Christmas plans and preparing our Christmas gifts. We are also making plans for Christmassy things to do like Christmas biscuits, gingerbread houses mince pie making house decorating and much much more. Tho most of these wont happen until late November early December, there is nothing wrong with us planning :).


That is our packed month ahead. A packed but exciting one. There will be blog posts on each and every one and many more. We hope to provide you with interesting tips and enjoyable reads throughout this month and beyond.

Lots Of Love
Katie & Beth...xxx

Friday Fun : Getting Prepared For Halloween

Today we decided to get on the Halloween wagon haha. Tommy ( Katie's brother & Beth's Fiance ) is currently off work so once we dropped Ava of to school off we went to Tesco. We purchased two pumpkins and a Halloween make your own gingerbread house and its fair to say Tommy was far more excited than he should be lol We came back home and Tommy got started building the gingerbread house and Beth helped. It needed 30 minutes to dry before you start decorating it. This was the point we got way too excited and went back to Tesco to buy more stuff to decorate it even though things are provided we wanted more haha!!! Back home we came, Beth & Tommy got back to decorating the Halloween Gingerbread House and We are very impressed so much we are already looking and goggling what to do for our Christmas Gingerbread house haha. Onto Pumpkins, obviously it is abit early to start carving them so we put them on the fireplace and we have a little Halloween fireplace theme going on with fake spiders and cobwebs. 

Katie & Ava Took a few Selfies today as Ava is now obsessed with taking pictures lol And not planned somehow we have ended up wearing the same dresses haha. 

Tomorrow we have Beth's Parents coming down from Essex to visit us for the day and football is back ( BTW WE ARE BOTH OBSESSED WITH FOOTBALL ). With Tommy being Leeds United, Beth being West Ham and Katie Being Chelsea FC. Over the weekend we have Baby Shower planning which was all planning along fine but past few weeks we haven't done much, we have most of the stuff and the date just haven't sent out invites ect so we will be on that this weekend/next week and also will be doing blog post as the baby shower is on a small budget and we have a theme which we would like to all share with you all. 

Here is a beautiful picture of Ava just before school, doesn't she look so grown up. Her dress is from Primark, Tights are from Asda (can't find online but here are some similar) and Her Shoes are Flossy Plimsole from Office. 


We hope you all are having a lovely Friday night and have a good weekend :) 

Love Katie And Beth.
