Review; Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil-Part 2

Sorry everyone, This post is a couple months behind! Because my laptop broke and I had no way of writing on my blog.

As you all know, I started using Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil which is clinically proven to help reduce stretch marks in just four weeks. When I first herd this i thought NO WAY! The Skin Perfecting Oil combines Botanic Oils and vitamin E to improve skin’s elasticity. For full results in 4 weeks apply twice daily by spraying it directly on to the area and massage in a circular motion.

I fell in love with this product the first day I used it because it made my skin feel so soft. After two weeks of using this product twice a day, On my belly and back, I started to noticed a bit of a difference, the colour of the stretchmarks had change, they had got lighter. FINALLY something had worked and it just 2 WEEKS. I carried on using it and after 4 weeks, my stretchmarks were not only lighter but had reduce in size.

I would recommended Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil to anyone who has just had a baby or even someone who had a baby 10 years ago. For something to reduce stetchmarks so much in so little time is amazing!

Cupcakes

Not so long ago it was my 18th birthday, My older sister Gemma made me 18 cupcakes, with eatable photos of me! She done three different flavours icing, strawberry, vanilla and orange. They were so tasty, I though the pictures were a very clever thing to do.

My sister has been making cupcakes for a while now and has now set up her own website selling them. She sells them for cheap prices and they are one of the best cupcakes I have ever tasted.

Gemma does all different types of cupcakes, for all occassions and all her cakes are homemade and handcrafted! You can be creative and use a range of designs and flavours .

Olympic Torch- Felixstowe

The 2012 Olympics are nearly here and with the torch relay not reaching London just yet, I felt lucky to be in Felixstowe when the torch made its way through. 2012 had been a busy year, what with the Diamond Jubilee and the Olympics and of course the birth of LittleMan. This year will go down in history and I wanted to make sure me and LittleMan was apart of it. Even if he is only 5 months, but at less when he gets older he can say he was a baby but he was there.

The torch was pass through Felixstowe on the 5th of July at 5pm. There wasn’t a lot of people so we got a great view. It felt like it took forever to start but when it did first was a Samsung lorry blasting out music, everyone was dancing having a good time.

This was followed by a Cola Cola van also blasting music, there was also people on bikes doing tricks. It was a really good atmosphere.

There was a high police presence to ensure the person carrying the torch was safe, After the vans with the music the Man carrying the torch finally came, followed by the London 2012 bus. The Felixstowe relay was over in minutes but this is something you see once in a life time. (Well I will be watching it when comes through London) It’s a great moment in Britain’s history so if you can, go to the olympic relay in your area, you will never get another chance.

 

Special Needs Jungle

Today I’m bringing you a post about what I think is the most important issue in our society today – children in care, or “Looked After Children”.

The post is the edited text from a presentation by child psychologist, Charlie Mead at the Towards a Positive Future SEN conference a week ago. He spoke powerfully about the plight of these ‘Looked After Children’ or, as it would appear, not very well looked after children. Charlie works in many children’s homes in the Midlands and South West of England  and if you want to know about how he sees the state of provision of children in care – our most vulnerable members of society – please read on, share it, reblog it, quote it on your own blogs, anything you can do to help highlight it.

Children are being ignored, abandoned and abused within the care system.  The tension between  available…

Worry Mummy

Being a first time mum I worry about EVERYTHING and ANYTHING.

On monday I took Little Man to the doctors to have his third lot of injections, I hate taking him as I hate seeing him in pain, but it is to protect him. These injections were different from the others as he was having three not two. My two friends Hayley and Rhiannon came along for support.

Little Man was really brave while getting them done, he only really cried on the last one. I was shocked as he normally screams all the way through. When we got home I was about to give him his bottle when I noticed his right leg was bright red. This has never happen before I started to worry, Luckyly I only live round the corner from my doctors. I rang them to check to see if this is normal, they say yes but not from the knee down and that I should bring him down.

Worrying I grab what I could and jumped in my mum car and drove down to doctors. The nurse assessed Little Man first and said this was uncommon and she went to get the doctor. I started panicing, thinking to myself these injections are meant to protect him not make him ill. The doctor came and had a look. She said it was uncommon but wasn’t a reaction. She also said it was nothing to worry about but if Little Man keeps vomiting or finding it hard to breath take him to hospital straight away. 

All that panicing and worrying for nothing. I was happy that nothing was wrong with Little Man but felt really silly. The doctor said it understandable and its better to worry than think nothing is wrong when it is.

That night I was checking on him every couple of minutes, The sleight noise or change in breathing pattern I was getting Mum to see if he was okay, That was one of the scariest nights in my life.

 

 

 

Review; Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil – Part One

When I was six months pregnant I started to get stretch marks on my side and back. I didn’t mind too much as I wasn’t really showing my body. After I gave birth to Littleman stretch marks just appeared all over my belly. They were horrible, bright red and all over my belly, back and sides. Litteman is now 17 weeks old and even know my belly has gone down in size, I don’t like showing my stretch marks to anybody. (Even my boyfriend)

I have tried many products to reduce the redness and size of my stretch marks but nothing works. My sister Claire meet a PR for Johnson’s and got me Johnson’s Skin Perfecting Oil for stretch marks. It is clinically proven to help reduce stretch marks in just four weeks. Yes you did just read it right it only takes four weeks.

The Skin Perfecting Oil combines Botanic Oils and vitamin E to improve skin’s elasticity. For full results in 4 weeks apply twice daily by spraying it directly on to the area and massage in a circular motion.

I have only just started using this today and it makes the skins feel so soft. I will be giving my full review in 4 weeks time, but already I am loving this product.

Disclaimer: This is a product review. I was not paid to write review but did receive the product.

Tennis MasterClass With Judy Murray!

Myself and Claire were invited by Highland Springs to The Queens Club which were holding the AEGON championships, to have an 2 hour tennis masterclass with Judy Murray (Andy Murray’s mum and former tennis coach).

At school I was never really a fan of PE or enjoyed many sports, I had also never played tennis before and knew I wouldn’t be very good at it. Claire also never played tennis and said she couldn’t even hit a ball! So when the chance came up to have a tennis masterclass with Judy Murray I was delighted.

We were told to wear sports wear and bring a change of clothes for afterwards. We meet up with Eve PR of Highland Spring and headed to play some tennis.

There was eight of us in total, Judy and her team were really friendly. As me or Claire never played tennis before Judy really helps us to get the hang of things and gave each person there own tips on how to better their game. I was actually rather good at tennis, we even team up and played a game, I was on Judy team and we won!

The masterclass was really fun and is also a great way to exercise, I decided I am now going to take up tennis. After the class, we got changed and headed to the VIP Crown Club for champers and strawberries. (Thats not something I get the chance to do) It was nice to chill out with Judy and just relax.

It was a great day, thanks to Judy and her team and the guys at Highlandspring.

BCG for babies-What do you think?

After a recent visit from the Health Visitor she has advised me to take Littleman to get his BCG vaccination. I am a bit worried, as they used to give the BCG vaccination in school when you was 13-14. I haven’t have a BCG as they said I didn’t need it. So why does Littleman?

Parents are advise/recommentend to give their babies a BCG if they are born in areas where TB rate is high or if parents/family members who were were born in countries with an high incidence of TB.

I want to protect Littleman for Tb but what about if he gets a serious side effect. In some cases babies can get a TB-like infection, its rate like 1 in 200,000 but can be fatal. This is common in babies with impaired immune systems and skin reactions can also occur.

I don’t know what to do? What do you think? Comment below wheather you have got done for your baby or not!

Swimming :)

Riley Che is now 14 weeks old and with all the hot weather I thought it would be nice to go swimming. Auntie Claire, Harley-2 and Dad decided to come along aswell.

We went to the local swimming bars where they do a baby sessions. This was ideal as this was both Riley’s and Harley’s first time. The swimming instructor advised me how to hold Riley in the water and to keep him moving as he will get cold. I was a bit scared because she said he wouldn’t need any arm bands or rubber ring, And to be honest I don’t even like holding him in the bath.

Despite feeling scared when we got into the water, I felt alot more comfortable and Riley loved it.

The local swimming bars has three swimming instructors during the session, the session is an hour long and half of this is spend in a group (opitional) where the activites are base on nursery rhymes to help the children get use to the water. We thought this was great, They also have a range of floats, balls, ducks and much more for the children to play with. The best thing about the session is it just babies and toddler so there is no other people splashing about.

Harley was also very exicted as he has never been swimming before. Harley also loved it he did very well considering it was his first time. He had arms bands on but was kicking about and Claire was able to let go of him and let him swim along.

We had so much that we are going to go once a week, as its good for the children but will also help me lose my fabby belly!  

Judgement day!

When I was pregnant with Riley, I had so many questions about labour. What was it going to feel like? Am I going to be in labour for hours? and How will I know if I am in labour? I was scared but exicted at the same time. The closer it got to my due date, the more scared I became.

It was the 21st of February 2012 I had a check up with the midwife. I was 38weeks+6days.The midwife said babys head was 3 out of 5 parts engaged.

At midnight I started getting pains across my back, I thought it was the urine infection coming back, so I decided to go to sleep. At 4.30am I got woken up by the pain, It started in the middle of my back and working its way round to my belly, I tried to time the pain to see if it was contractions, but I couldnt concentrate. I started to walk around my bedroom, At 5.00am my mum woke up for work. She came into my room, took one look at me and said that I was in labour.

My mum informed me that I could be labour for hours, I made a hot water bottle and kept walking around my house. While my mum, boyfriend and debby got ready. At 6.00am I rang the birthing centre at Lewisham Hospital to let them know I was labour. The midwife told me to do plently of walking and have something to eat.

I had toast than I was sick, the pain was starting to become unbearable. I had to go to the birthing centre. Luckily when I was pregnant I had the choice to have little man in the labour ward or the birthing centre at Lewisham Hospital. The birthing centre was lovely, It had a double bed, a sofa, and a really nice cot.

I arrived at the hospital at 7am, The midwife check to see how far along I was, When my waters broke. She told me to walk around the hospital for an hour. So of fI went with my mum and my boyfriend. I was walking around and the pain was getting worse, than I felt like I needed to push. We went back to the birthing centre, It was 8am and the midwifes were changing over, The lady took me into the room, laid me down and gave me gas and air. Telling me to push with every contraction.

Before I knew it Riley was being put on me. He was born at 9.35am on the 22nd of Febraury 2012, Weighing 7lbs 7oz.

7 hours later I was aloud to go home, the midwifes in the birthing centre were amazing and so was my mum and boyfriend. I couldnt of done it without any of them, And to be honest it wasnt as bad as I thought it was going to be.
