Girls only Sunday :)

For as long as I can remember Little monster has always spent a Sunday at her mammars, they have Sunday dinner together, do the local car boots and then she comes home but this weekend she was home and I made sure we had lots of us time, Dad went out so we made it a girls only day and made a list of things to do.

 

First we did our usual stuff, breakfast, teeth, face, hair ect and then the real fun started, we picked out face masks, hair masks and nail colours and cover the sofa in cushions.

 

We put our hair and face masks on a relaxed for a little while, sipping juice and talking about our week, you can see my review on the 7th Heaven masques here

We grabbed a quick shower and dried our hair and got the curlers out, we painted our nails and put on temporary tattoos and then shared some soup.

We did a little reading and had cuddles then settled down to colour our books for a little while.

 

 and then after her fantastic swimming on Friday we promised her a prize that contained jewels and it came in the form of a plastic mould of a jewel bag that contained 4 jewel to be dug out. These are what she founds, they are glass and she was really impressed with them :)

 

 

 

All in all we had a lovely day and Little monster was excited to tell her dad all about it when he got home, I can't wait for another 'just us' day in the coming weeks and the holidays are set to be super busy and super fun.

7th Heaven Masques

I love face masks but I have sensitive skin so i'm very careful what I put on my face, I also love a good hair mask, something nourishing that helps my awful hair is always a plus.

This weekend was the first weekend in a long whilst that it would just be me and the little monster which I'll blog about In another post but I made sure we had time to relax and masque ourselves :)

The guys over at 7th Heaven sent these for us to try and we loved them!!!

 

These are safe for sensitive skin and my lovely assistant little monster joined me with her fresh face, we started off applying the Banana & honey masque which is for combination and dry skin and cleans up and soothes skin.

It smells good enough to eat, it's creamy and smooth and instantly cools your skin, it's suggested you leave it on for 10-15 minutes so we relaxed for 10 minutes before applying the hair masques.

 

10 minutes later....

 

Next we applied the hair masques, I went for the pulped papaya rescue masque which adds deep shine for dull lifeless hair and after swimming 8 times a month for the last three months my hair is pretty lifeless. It went on very creamy but next time i'd pick up two as one only did half of my hair but it smelled great and really added moisture to my hair.

Little monster opted for the Manuka honey rescue masque for repairing and strengthening damaged roots and dry hair, sadly she has super dry hair because she now swims 16 times a month :o (her choice not mine).

 

Both masks have gorgeous scents than have lasted all day, whilst mine didn't cover enough of my hair to say it was the most amazing thing ever it is super soft without being fly away and little monsters is really soft and shiny.

 

All in all we loved the masques, everything about them was just what we needed and the next time we have a little down time together we'll be reaching for the 7th heaven masques again.

My Made With Love By Stacie Review

There are so many people out there offering wood and glitter items but after looking around I found a lady who not only offered a great service at a reasonable cost but also seem to take the time to offer you what you were actually looking for over what was in stock or needed selling quickly.

I first saw Stacie's 'Sparkle' designs but quickly settled on a second piece for my little one for her birthday being this beauty.

 

It is so much more sparkly than the photo shows, i'm not doing it much justice as it's in my hallways at the minute until this weekend when I can get some hooks up in Evie's room. Every time we open the front door it glitters and glistens all over so hopefully it'll have the same effect from the sunshine in her room.

 

This is the piece I first saw and fell in love with, I wanted something that wasn't too bright and colourful and our house isn't huge and too much colour makes rooms small but I wanted it to stand out from it's little spot on the wall, the glitter is super sparkly and the colours are really deep, it's placed just at the bottom of our stairs near the door so every day when I leave the house I see it and smile, the quality is fab and the customer service is second to none.

 

I've added some images from Stacie's page so you can see some other things she can do, they are perfect as gifts for birthdays, Christmas, weddings ect and all come in the colour and style you want and most are customisable.
