Hello lovelies,

Aideen here with a quick pregnancy update-so all is going well and I am now into my third trimester... I can't believe I am here already-there were times when I thought it would never end (mostly on sick days) so to be in the third trimester is amazing.

The countdown is really on now so I have started making my shopping list-this is baby number 3 for me so I have quite  a bit of baby stuff already but there is still some bits I need. The past few days I have been researching car seats, sterilisers, monitors, mattresses, baby carriers etc etc etc

If you have any recommendations for any of the above let me know :) my smallest 'baby' is now 5 so there's lots of new goodies on the market.

I will share what I get along the way now that I am getting ready for all this fun shopping!

For today I had to share this fun caricature from our friend Luis Arriola HERE it's such a great idea for a baby shower:

Happy #ealfestive2014 lovelies! We are back today with another FAB idea for Christmas presents for all of us who still have a few people to buy for on our lists...

We were sent this gorgeous gift set from Nia Natural Beauty to try out and we have to say this is a super gift for anyone and also great value-perfect for anyone trying to stick to a budget this year. We have reviewed some of the Nia range before and both of us were very impressed with the results-you can see our other review HERE



The lovely Celia from Nia sent us the intensive gift set RRP €20!! Inside the cute gift bag you get intensive body balm, intensive shower mousse, intensive body scrub and intensive restoring facial moisturising balm. There are other Nia gift sets available online to suit any budget-you can check them out HERE

Aideen says:

From the gift set I tried out the intensive shower mousse and also the intensive facial cream-which I had tried out for our previous review but have since run out of so I was so delighted to get some more.

I was dying to try out the shower mousse and really enjoyed this product-it smells so good and leaves your skin silky soft especially anywhere dry like the knees or elbows!! The smell really lasts on the skin and is so refreshing....A must buy for anyone who suffers from dry skin.

As I have said I had already tried out the facial cream but since our last post I have run out...this cream is a winter essential. The cold weather is so harsh on the skin and leaves us all with dry rough patches-even my daughter (4) has little dry patches so I have been using the cream on her too. The nice light scent makes it perfect for all the family to use.

Thanks so much Celia and all at Nia,
Emily & Aideen

Today for #ealfestive2014 I want to share with you some fun kids books by Eires kids which I recently discovered at the ITWBN meet up! When I saw the titles of the books I had to get them as I have a son called Oisìn and the books are 'Oisìn the brave-moon adventure' and 'Oisín the brave-robot Island'.

Hello lovelies,

Today we just wanted to share an awesome website called Society 6 where you can buy amazing art work as all kinds of fun goodies!!

I found out about the site when I saw that the extremely talented Finnabair from Prima was on the site and was so excited to check it out. I ordered an 8 x 10 print of Finns and at the time that I ordered there was free shipping worldwide which is a nice touch and something that Society6 run from time to time.

This is the print I ordered:


And as I said there are other cool things you can get your print on from t shirts to cups, pillows to phone covers! Speaking of.... I am kind of in LOVE with this pillow right here:
