Avon glimmer sticks.

Now i'm not a huge lover of loads of make-up. In fact i don't wear any at all anymore maybe a bit of mascara. This is mainly due to having children and not being able to make it out of the house in time for the school run most mornings. BUT i love these glitter sticks from Avon.

I brought these little beauties on a whim, i had a Avon catalog through my door, and due to my compulsive shopping habits i just had to buy something. I came across these and as i was going out the following weekend i thought the colors would go perfect with what i was wearing.

They are long lasting colored eye lines with glitter, i prefer to use them on the tops of my eye lids with jet black mascara to really open my eyes and give them a dramatic look. They come in a rage of different colors, my fave is sugar plum and sparkling silver, i normally wear them both together.

Whatever style of make up you prefer these are a fab and a great companion for your makeup bag! And the best bit? They are only 6.00, even better they are often on offer i brought mine for 1.50 each.

The TRUTH about pregnancy...(sensitive content)

Pregnancy, what a wonderful thing... and it is, when you are wearing your rose tinted glasses..

Don't get me wrong, I'm not pretending i don't get moments of happiness and excitement. However i am not going to sit here and try to convince myself pregnancy is all laughs and giggles lets face it its not.

Not only do you suffer months of morning sickness, huge bouts of fatigue (in my case) dry skin, spots... you have to deal with swollen feet and all that embarrassing stuff like extra wind (come on ladies, own up!) and leaking nipples!

And lets face it, who really wants to listen to other annoying people (i'm sure they are lovely in reality) asking if you are REALLY SURE there is only ONE in there... if you are married and say things like, "oh here come the sleepless nights!," yes yes i know there only trying to make conversation and help but come on!!

Lets not forget, the frustrating wait for baby to arrive, wondering when its going to happen. When is your waters going to break, or most importantly where, is it going to be somewhere embarrassing like a Tesco supermarket where staff have to come running with a mop? (this is very unlikely to happen)

Extreme nesting.. having to re-pack your hospital bag 46 times to make sure everything is there. And obviously you have to be extremely happy all of the time, because after all you are expecting..

Pregnancy is hard, and no one warns you of that, but of course there are incredible, beautiful moments too. There really is nothing like feeling your child moving inside you, and having that ever growing bond, but growing a human has really been one of the hardest things i have had to do. ever.
