The hidden danger in deodorants and antiperspirants. . . and the best natural alternatives.

For the last couple of years I have only used natural deodorants. Through using them I have found that I no longer have skin irritations on my under arms (something I used to suffer with on a daily basis), my under arm hair growth is much…

24 Week Pregnancy Update

24 Week Pregnancy Update

I literally cannot believe how quickly the weeks are starting to fly by now and technically there are only 3 full months left before the baby is officially meant to be evicted from its current womb residence. Still feeling massively under prepared but I am…

What I Ate Wednesday!

What I Ate Wednesday!

At last we are in my favourite month of May and the sun has finally got its hat well and truly on! The skies have been completely cloudless and I am freckling up at a rate of knots. It’s so nice to feel the warmth and…

Sweet Potato, Leek and Lime Fritters

Whether you have a health condition or not, we should all want to look after our bodies and nourish them with as much nutritional goodness as we can get. I am not a preacher and I certainly would never force how I eat / or…

My knickers don’t fit, but I’d do anything for you baby. (22 Week Update)

Somewhat optimistically I bought a pair of non maternity leggings yesterday, black and stretchy in a size medium. They looked perfectly fine when I held them against myself and declared to Ports (husband) that there was plenty of room for my favourite womb lodger. However,…

What I Ate Wednesday!

What I Ate Wednesday!

Butternut Squash and Almond Butter Curry

Breakfast for me is all about starting the day on the right track, for not only by health, but for my mind too. It’s something I look forward to as soon as I wake up and it’s something I will make a priority not to…

Mrs P’s Pesto Baked Chicken

I am so happy that the clocks have gone forward and that we can finally enjoy the beautiful evening light. It not only means that my husband drives home along the motorway in the light (which somehow makes me feel a little less on edge),…
