Pregnancy Blues

All in all I haven't had the most fantastic pregnant experience with first trimester morning sickness to it returning in my last trimester to being exhausted and generally waddling like a duck from place to place, it can with no surprise get you a bit down and as all girls do every now and then you need a pick me up. My fiancé noticed this and treated me to a wee shopping trip in Boots. I only picked up a few things as I wasn't wanting to take advantage but here's what he purchased for me.

'Urban Decay 24/7 Waterproof Liquid Eyeliner'

Models Own Powder Blusher in the shade 'Warm Glow'

17 Wild Metallic Eyes in the shades 'Wild Bronze' and 'Wild Nude'

Collection 2000 'Fix Me Up' Long lasting make up fixer.

No.7 Extreme length mascara.

So the countdown is now on 7 weeks till Baby Cakes arrives. Next post will be a pregnancy one.

Lots of Love

Little update

Hi everyone firstly let me say a massive thank you to everyone who has started following this blog. I appreciate it so much. I'd like to apologise for not posting for a few days but I have had a few uni re sits to be submitted this coming Monday and Tuesday so I have been focusing on them. But I promise I will be posting a new review at the end of the week I was also thinking of a pregnancy post? What do you think? 
Lots of love

Hi firstly let me say thank you to everyone who was followed my blog. I'm overwhelmed my numbers doubled in the space of a few hours. I'd also like to give a shout out to a fellow blogger and ask you all to go and have a read at her blog it's marvellous - Whispers from angels


I've taken the time to set up direct links to my Twitter, Facebook and You tube channel, I'd love it if you could just take a couple of seconds to like or follow them.


I made a YouTube channel with the hopes to make videos but I'm a bit unsure, what do you all think? and if I proceed with it what should my first video be? 


Lots of Love.
Claire.

I signed into my blog the other day to see that the lovely Shelley nominated me for the Liebster Award. I feel extremely honoured being extremely new to the blogging world. It's basically an award for up and coming blogs


"This little award is all about discovering new blogs and helping those with less than 200 followers to get recognised."

It's a great opportunity for all of us new bloggers and it also allows me to do my first tag which  I must I am very excited about doing after watching many of my favouite You Tube Guru's filming tags and writing tagss on their blogs.
The rules are as follows.
1. Each person tagged must post 11 things about themselves.

2. They must also answer the 11 questions the ' tagger ' has set for them.

3. They must create 11 more questions to ask bloggers they have decided to tag.

4. They must then choose 11 bloggers with less than 200 followers and tag them in their post.

5. These lucky bloggers must then be told.

6. There's no tag backs.
