Philips Avent SCD620 Digital Video Monitor As a parent and a first time new mum, looking after our little one is number one priority and ensuring that he is safe at all times is most important and so I was so pleased to have come across the baby monitors from Phillips Avent which allowed us to have a worry free evening and night and know that baby could be checked upon at all times. I have the Philips Avent SCD620 Digital Video Monitor and I just have to share my love about this fabulous and innovative product. There are two parts to this product which make it work. The parent unit which is the main screen and then there is the day camera/infrared camera unit. The parent unit Monitor has a range of up to 150 metres and the screen is in colour for the best part of the day and when the sun goes down it then turns into infrared so even in the dark the little one can be seen.

With summertime approaching and holiday season is near- looking good and feeling gorgeous in the sunshine is high on the list. For me personally, this means that I can bring out my gorgeous skirts and dresses that have been tucked away for many months due to this awful British weather! Nothing new there then! With many of us loving wearing skirts and dresses, I know that our legs have to be looking amazing and I wanted to share with you a few of my favourite summer must haves for obtaining the perfect looking legs! The Gillette Venus Swirl There are two options that I am going to talk about and the first option we are going for is something quick, professional and leaves your legs feeling silky smooth – I am talking about the new Venus blade for ladies. Its called the Venus Swirl and I love this new blade as it has a small flexible bubble ball that has been built into it to ensure that all contours, angles and corners of the leg are easy to shave and that no areas get miss...

The fabulous Silk-Epil 9 Skinspa   If a leg shaving isn’t quite your thing and you like the more longer lasting hair removal option then you need to hear about the new epilator from Braun that has recently been launched….I know that the epilator might be a daunting thought and I can appreciate that is not for everybody but this one compared to other brands I have used before is extremely soft on your skin. I used to be petrified at the thought of an epilator but for me it’s the ideal hair remover and it’s great for sensitive skin and not only does it put all the hair out from your roots- which should last up to 4 weeks depending on your hair growth, but it also gives that massaging feeling whilst epilating your legs which makes it a lot more bearable and believe me the pain is minimal when using this epilator. It’s definitely worth a try for all you epilator newbies and the results certainly speak for themselves! I would say that I managed to remove hair from both my leg...

I have to say that I’m totally into gel polish nails more than any other nail treatments out there. Not only are they the most natural and beautiful to look at but they are a lot more cost effective, kind to your nails and more time saving to apply than say acrylics or tips. They are also suited for all nails and lengths and so anyone can have gorgeous looking nails when having a gel polish manicure. The usual step for gel polish manicures is the prep stages of the nails, the file and buffing the cleansing and application, the curing and then the aftercare but I have now discovered a new and gorgeous brand where a few stages are no longer required which means less time spent on nails and more time to enjoy!!! I have to share the love and joy about Itsy Nails London and their gorgeous DuraPro Gel Effect Nail Polish! The great factor about this nail polish is that there is NO need for a base coat and there is no need to cure the polish either and when it dries, it dries as a gel pol...

Dr Brown's Options Anti-Colic Starter Kit (Photo: www.drbrowns.co.uk) Our LO has taken really well to bottle feeding and I definitely think this hugely is down to what brands you use as certain bottles work better than others and make life easier and more comfortable for baby in terms of stopping air getting into the teat, reducing colic and just general overall feeding and cleaning. We are now using the bottles from Dr Browns and I had heard a lot of talk about the brand but as always, your never quite sure what to believe until you use them yourself. I have to say that I am so far massively impressed with this brand as our LO really gets on much better with his bottle nowadays than previously and the teat seems a lot more ‘breast’ like also prevents wind and air passing through.  These are definitely working for us as the LO would be agitated but also bring up a lot of his milk after feeding due to air passing through to him but now, this is massively reduced. It’s grea...

I love my spicy food so when I had the opportunity to dine at Chiquito’s it really was a no-brainer as looking at the menu just had me salivating enough already. I don’t tend to hear many people exploring too much other than the normal Indian Italian and Chinese takeaway’s and restaurants so I really wanted to share my love on this Mexican cuisine and stunning restaurant as I feel unless you’ve been here you really are missing out I don’t tend to hear many people exploring too much other than the normal Indian Italian and Chinese takeaway‘s and restaurants so I really want to share my love on this Mexican cuisine and stunning restaurant as I feel unless you’ve been here, you really are missing out. I mention the word spicy although it’s not spicy food it’s just done tasty filler flavour full of colour and there is a mixture of food for both meat eaters and vegetarians so rest of shored the menu will certainly tick your boxes. Chiquito’s call is it self the original Mexican Gr...

Cleaning the house can sometimes be a little bit of a chore especially when your home is a pet household. I absolutely love our dog but I have to admit that the hairs do sometimes get everywhere and cleaning isn’t always the easiest. Also having a little one with spills taking place, food getting dropped and just general dust and dirt, there’s always something that needs to be cleaned pretty quickly. This cordless vacuum comes complete with a charging base and stores away nicely. It also comes with both a Duster Crevice Tool and Multi-Surface Pet Tool enabling you to tackle any situation! The one thing that’s really nice and handy is that you can literally empty this handheld vacuum at the click of a button! It actually holds enough dirt and dust in the compartment even though it looks small but it’s definitely enough for a good amount of cleaning. The Shark Cordless Handheld Vacuum Cleaner The cordless vacuum makes cleaning a joy and is available to purchase as a single unit...

You see so many baby adverts on TV nowadays and to be honest, I don’t really bat and eyelid for most, but this one from Pampers stood out to me and I was curious and wondered what these new Baby Dry’s were about and also if they really worked.Pampers Baby-Dry (pictured below) are just perfect for our nighttime routine of putting our LO to sleep and to be honest, they do exactly what they say they do on the packet. They indeed work a miracle as when you next come to change the little one, you do wonder where it’s all gone. Pampers Baby Dry Nappies The little micro pearls in the nappy do a great job of absorbing all the wetness and the micro beads are superb as they evenly distribute the wetness around so it’s not all in on place. The nappy to me feels lighter than other brands when it comes to changing after the long night sleep.The nappies feel very soft against babies skin and they have flexible sides to them to allow our LO to move comfortably in them and he is able to bre...

If you love your films like me and are a huge fan of heart warming dramas and Tom Hanks then you will have definitely seen Forrest Gump! It’s an oldie but a real classic and something even better is that situated in the heart of London’s West End (13 Coventry Street) lies the fabulous Bubba Gump Shrimp Co. restaurant. This restaurant is a real treat for movie fans and indeed fans of the film Forrest Gump as it contains all the photos, memorabilia, movie slogan frames and all the merchandise you could ever want, and most importantly along with some gorgeous tasting southern American food – mainly shrimp related, but there is also steak, ribs, chicken and salads!As you walk into Bubba’a on the ground level, this is where you are greeted by members of staff where you can make your booking or check in for your reservation, but also down here is the marketplace part of the restaurant which is simply any Forrest Gump fans heaven. Here you will find everything movie related to pur...

With every day that passes, and with it currently being the middle of winter, it’s so important to give your skin the nutrients and goodness it needs to keep it looking fresh, moisturised and full of youth.  There are hundreds brands out there that I could mention but I’ve realised there are a handful that I can actually place my faith in and share with you that actually work like magic and give the perfect results we are all after. My skincare regime is crucial and no matter what your budget or age, there is something for everyone to have them staying beautiful and flawless all year around.  Charlotte Tilbury is one of my favourite British makeup artists who has her very own brand of skincare and makeup. Charlottes Magic Cream I came to know of the Charlotte Tilbury brand whilst on a shoot and I was instantly won over after seeing the results so I have to share with you my favourite item from her collection. Charlottes MAGIC CREAM is where you start to believe in...
