What is the first thing you do when you wake up?
Well I jump out of bed, ready and excited for the new day of course - haha. I count to 60 with a promise to myself that I will get up when I get there, and then repeat the exercise a few times until Dylan tells me time is up. I think go into his room, look down on his smiley little face and excited wiggly toes, and we say hi and wave at each other before having a nice cuddle.
Do you shower daily? Are you an early morning shower or evening bath type?
Since having Dylan I have become very much an evening shower-er. Trying to fit it into a morning schedule is not achievable anymore so I go for a late night shower and inevitably sleep with wet hair. I have the odd bath with half a bottle of bubbles in it but I get too restless to stay in there long.
Do you wear make-up daily?
Yes. Not a lot, but
I don't feel alive without a nice bit of eyeliner. Eyeliner and mascara mean I am ready for the day and even on a night out I don't really wear anything else. I can't stand the feel of foundation and don't have the time or the energy for making too much effort.
What's in your make-up bag?
Eyeliner (of course)- pencil and liquid, mascara, under eye concealer and a blushy/bronzey thingamagig. I think that is it actually!.
When you're having a slummy mummy day what do you normally wear?
Nothing is more comfortable than my baggy jeans and a T-shirt. And of course slippers. I have several pairs all around the house so that wherever I am I can find a pair to put on.
Nails - how often do you get them done?
I'm not sure I have ever had my nails done. Waitressing means a ban on nail varnish and even without that I manage to chip them in minutes every time. My toenails are usually a bright shade of pink or red and done expertly by moi.
Your top tip for tired eyes?
Eyeliner is my life saver. It always makes my eyes look a little more alive. When I was younger and a bit more fun, I used to wear glittery eyeliner in bright colours when I was tired or hungover to take the attention away from the bags, but I would have to make that a permanent part of my make up bag now!
Are you a Starbucks or a Costa Coffee kind of girl?
There isn't a Starbucks nearby, yet we have an overdose of Costa so I guess I am a Costa girl. Given the choice I would probably go for starbucks though as I love their frappucinnos.
How many children do you have/want & why?
I have a beautiful 10 month old boy, Dylan and I would love another
3 children. I loved every part of pregnancy, and having a baby and can't wait to do it again. I want a nice big family and a house full of children. The bloke isn't convinced and so far we have agreed on a second. You will have to keep reading and find out who gets their way ;)
Where is your favourite place to shop for babies/children's clothes?
Dylan has jumped through sizes and so I usually get him a lot of supermarket clothes as they are reasonably priced and they have some lovely stuff. My favourite baby clothes are from Mothercare as they do a great range of inbetween things - inbetween sleepsuits and outfits, which I loved as he started to get too old for sleepsuits all day but I still wanted him to look like a baby.
Flats or heels? Your everyday shoes are...?
Flats, all the way! Heels are only for special occasions now, although I do have a pretty impressive collection!
So there are my yummy mummy truths. I am tagging. . .
(please add your name if you want to do it - hope this isn't cheating):
Supermarkets are an excellant place to buy baby clothes especially when their not in them for long.
ReplyDelete3 more children are you mad lol x x
Four children!?!
ReplyDeleteJaysus I have three and a fourth would bowl me over the edge!
I'm with Jane, and I only have TWO!!
DeleteStill, my husband's aunt has (not kidding) FIFTEEN children, and she's one of the happiest and calmest people I've ever met. I can really understand the happiness in having a big family, but I just know it's beyond me. I guess keeping calm is the big trick, and I'm really not known for my skills in that area :)
