Best friends 😍

 
 
Matching hair........ Mini-me

Me 4 years ago before this life

Gym is me time :)

I had a spare hour after work tonight so popped up the gym. Decided to leave cardio again because my chest is still feeling wheezy. So tonight was arm and upper back night. I didn't think I was making any progress but with good lighting I've starting to notice a little definition. I have been mainly working my arms and upper back using cable machines and free weights. This enables me to engage a greater range of muscles through greater control.

My motivation now is to be toned and slender for my works Christmas night out!!! Small Goals....... 

Tonight consisted of:
 
Assisted chin ups
Lateral raises
Front raises
Lat pull down
Bent over row
Then with kettle bell 
Single arm row
Hammer bicep curls
Then with Dumbbells
Triceps kick backs

Have I found the parenting bible ?


So while at the local library with my daughter Layla-Rose, I came across this! I do like Super nanny and believe in her methods. This book is NEVER in the library so I think it's hot property and right now it's all MINE. 
I've been quite fortunate that naughty step has rarely had to be an option when it comes to discipline but layla-rose has definitely become more challenging recently. 
I will write a review once finished, I'm only on first chapter. I've even got my partner to read snippets I which I'm surprised about! I really want us to be consistent with our daughter so I need to keep him interested. 


Time stops....so glad I encaptured this moment

Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity


Currently been using Neutrogena Visibly Clear Pore and Shine wash but felt the consistency of the gel didn't spread well over my face. So I thought I would try something new, from my current favourite brand. They had two face washes and decided to go for the newer of the two. Soap & Glory Face Soap and Clarity, 3 in 1 daily detox with super fruit. 
It has a fragrance of clean freshness and consistency of loose gel with pink gel micro beads.  It says you need a grape size measure but I felt this was far too much. I would you half the size for good coverage. Initially I thought it smelt like refresher sweets with a hint of fruit. Once lathered into face you feel a slight menthol tingle high really awakes and freshens your skin. My face felt clean and smooth after and I following this with Soap & Glory Drama clean 5in1 micellar cleansing water (review soon). Overall a good product, as always with Soap & Glory.
