Bean's mum's blog

I can't believe that January is almost already gone. Last year flew by and it looks like this will be the same if January is any indication. Sometimes I worry about that. My son is so little at the moment but he is growing ever so fast and every day he gets more language or learns new skill.  Anyway, off I drift off again. I apologise for lapses of attention but my momma head is on at the moment. It's January 2014 (wow 2014) empties. The first of my empties this month is a product the company has discontinued as it was limited edition and this has made me very sad. This is the Yves Rocher Collection cacao Cocoa & raspberry perfumed shower gel.  Both scents are equally represented, with the chocolate being a definite undertone to me. This makes me hungry for chocolate, potentially dangerous if, like me, you are trying to lose weight. I have been using this for Edward's baths and one of the best ways to get him into the bath, if he is be...

I thought this might be another interesting post for you as all as I am interested in other people day to day routines and thought I might disclose my own for you.

This is my Tangle Teezer Compact Styler in the Metallic Gold Rush style. This is my go to hairbrush for my extremely long and thick hair as it doesn't yank on my hair and it is very ergonomic as it fits into the palm of my hand so it isn't cumbersome to use. It was also a bargain as it was in my first Youbeautydiscovery box which cost only £6.95 for this and another item. My review for that box is  here. I loved it in that review but now that I am no longe...

My December box came today and I am very excited, despite knowing what is in it. The booklet, as pictured below, looks amazing this month as does the presentation of the box. I love the first day of the month as it means I can get to pick out my items for the youbeautydiscoverybox. We got a preview again this month, two days early on November the 29th, and that was great as I get to pick before I hit the site and have the possibility of getting confused. There was ten possibilities this month in terms of products and these were: Magnifibres Brush On false lashes Lola Makeup by Perse Matte Long Lasting Lipstick Lanolips 101 Ointment He- Shi express liquid tan & tanning mitt Good Things total wipe out cleansing wipes Elegant Touch UV Gel polished Red 318 Dr. Nick Lowe Age Correct Eye Serum Becca Shimmering Skin Protector Awapuhi Wild Ginger by Paul Mitchell Hydrocream Whip & Hydromist Blow-out spray duo Ancienne Ambiance Lavendula Bath & Body oil For tho...
