Bridal Gown



Visiting a bridal boutique for the first time and top tips 
The search for your wedding dress can be really exciting but also quite scary at times.Its not quite the same as picking out an outfit for a girlie lunch or dinner date, this is your wedding day! so let's get started.  





-Think about your body shape, what style will suit you best and flatter your physic and not draw attention to the bits you don't like! you want to make sure your going to be comfortable

- I looked in bridal magazines for inspiration, i did this over a year before I bought my dress, 

- Don't just head straight to the bridal shop look on the high street, boutiques and online. Keep a realistic budget in mind, can you afford that £1000 dress? Remember it's what you look and feel like not how much it cost.

- Which style is most appropriate for your wedding (beach, winter, summer etc) 

- Think about style of the dress (v neck, sweetheart, lace trains etc) 

- Think about your weight goal (are you happy as your are or do you want to loose weight for the big day) so far I have lost 2 stone in 6months I still haven't reached my goal but I'm almost there. 

- Think about alterations, you may like a dress more if you put your own stamp on it.

- Buy a dress that fits you now! Yes I'm still loosing weight but by body type isn't going to completely change it's a a lot cheaper taking a gown in then making a small dress work.
- Remember to bring your accessories (shoes, head band, tiara, earrings, bracelet, etc... anything that you will be wearing along with dress) 

- Shop at the right time. Weekdays you will find it to be more relaxing and less bridezillas than you might do on a weekend. 

- Who to bring? I actually went in my own on the 1st day so i can think and see which ones fit me better, 2nd day I bought my mum with me, 3rd day my sister come along and that was the day I bought my wedding dress! 

- Trust your instincts. 


I hope you enjoyed the read. 
Expect a few more bridal post the next couple of months for the run up to my wedding day. 
Lots of love

what's in Poppy's Easter basket | 2018 | toddler Easter treats |

Easter goodies for my Toddler 

Always another holiday isn't there. I like to make Poppy a box for each special occasion throughout the year; Christmas eve box, Halloween trick or treat bag and Easter is no exception. This Easter i have gone for the more traditional items like my mum used to get us when we were little; books, stickers, chocolate egg, etc... I've not gone as over the the top as I usually do. We are also buying the stuff we know Poppy is really interested in, her favourite characters and bits she can interact with us on as well


The items in the box are not to have in one go, half of this is being used for her Easter egg hunt in the garden. We have gone for the play/learning items this year, she loves books at the moment and we read to her every night. As she enjoys it so much i decided to get her The Gruffalo £5.99 from Waterstones and the Peter rabbit sticker activity book £2 from the Works.

A pack of Bunny crayons £1 from Poundland, Peppa pig play cards £2 fro…

How to Declutter your Home and Keep it that Way

Time to declutter



What helps me destress, be productive and keep myself organised is getting rid of all the bits and bobs i keep laying around the house. Yes, that drawer full of crap and all the kids toys that keep mounting up after Christmas and birthdays. I start with 4 bags; charity, selling, friends/family and bin. You don't have to do all of these in one day, pick a room or an area for one afternoon while the baby sleeps and the toddler is settled with snacks and a colouring book and get busy.


*Rooms*

Bathroom- the cabinets, products you dont use or are out of date, bath toys, etc...

Kitchen- food packaging, out of date products, pots and pans you don't use or need to replace

Living room- the mounting of paper work hidden in drawers, kids toys, shoes, etc...

Dining room- ( same as above)

Bedroom- clothes you don't wear, brought but never used, old bed, bedroom drawers and tables, worn out shoes (good quality shoes can be repaired fairly cheaply so dont throw away b…
