Windy Walk With The Boyfriend & Doggy.

 
 

 So the weather is defiantly changing, and it is getting colder. You've still got to make time to go out for a nice walk though! I went for a walk with my boyfriend and our dog and on this occasion I thought I would take a few pictures as we don't get to go for a walk together that often anymore.





















Just a short one from me today, I have a few other posts in mind. I am not sure if the pictures look a little yellow-ey on your computer but they didn't before i uploaded them on here so not sure what happened there.




When we got home I think this little one was finished for the day!

LUSH! Review/ First Impressions.

 

So.. I went to lush! Yes I finally did it after a little push in the right direction from Verity when we went shopping a couple of weeks ago. I haven't got a clue really why I 've never been in there. I fell in LOVE when I walked through the door. Its so bright and so many different smells haha!
So I only got 2 things but also got a sample of a face mask ill put some pictures below and a little description below for anyone that's interested.



TWILIGHT bath bomb £3.25




I didn't edit the picture above as I wanted anyone reading to see the true colours.
Its so nice to watch a bath bomb work its magic I was actually standing next to the bath for a couple of minutes watching it fizz away and change the colour of the water.

I got into the bath just after this picture and the smells coming from this bath bomb were sooo nice! I mean I smelt it in the shop and thought oh that's a nice but I didn't realise I would like it that much, I think when your in the lush shop there is so much to choose from and so many different scents. When you get home and actually use your products its so much better as you've only got the one scent in front of you.. it left my bathroom smelling lovely for a pretty long time too!
With this one I didn't realise it actually has blue in the middle too so when it had finished it left the bath a lovely pinky purple colour!!
I highly recommend this one to anyone that's new to lush as I was.
 


THE COMFORTER Bubble Bar £4.50


 
I must say this one was actually my favourite out of the two but I did really love twilight too!
I love a good bubble bath you can certainly see that's its a bubble bar that's for sure! I got this one on the recommendation of verity as its one of her favourites. I can also see myself wanting to get this one every time I get the chance to go in lush! I must have used this 3 times (I think they recommend 2 times but I did pick the biggest one as they vary in size.) and each time I got out of the bath I felt so fresh and could smell the scent hours after id got out of the bath which is a nice plus to this product. This also leaves you will a gorgeous pink colour in the water too, what more can you ask for, bubbles , pink bath water & smells amazing!

CUPCAKE fresh face mask. £6.25

This face mask defiantly smells of chocolate its very rich in its scent and it did feel amazing on my skin, I can only comment on the one time of me using it. As I said above they were nice enough to give me and verity a few samples as she's a regular shopper to lush. The sample was enough for one use. I would say £6 for a face mask is expensive to me but the full size product is really big and you would get loads of use out of it. It did leave my skin feeling lovely and I did feel really refreshed after using it. I think I would see the benefits if I used it more so I think when I have enough money saved I want to go and do a decent shop in lush and I would get this.

P.s yes that's me underneath with the face mask on and conditioner in my hair.. Haha loved it!


This was my first experience with all things lush I was also given a sample hair mask to try which I haven't used yet. I loved lush and I will defiantly be going again.

A day with family.

 


So yesterday I went to southend with my mum and dad, we had a really nice chilled day and ended up walking along the pier, I didn't know it was over a mile long haha silly me! Its really important to spend time with your family, especially if you no longer live with them. As you know my mum and dad aren't together anymore but we all get along very well and my dad comes down every Friday to see me and my brother at my mums. I love that we can go out together like this because I know not everyone whos parents aren't together anymore get to expierence this, I did take a few pictures so I will put them below if anyone is interested in seeing some.

 Haha this picture below makes me laugh, slightly wind swept and not really ready for the picture!
















We did walk the pier and got the little train on the way back as we were in abit of a rush near the end as I had to be back for work, the picture above on the right was on the train, I am not going to lie I did feel a little bit freaked out it was a bit of a bumpy ride! The picture on the left is me and my mum we were just casually walking along and I thought why not do a selfie with her.


We of course walked round the shops and I went into Pandora, I fell in love with this ring and took a picture as my 21st birthday is coming up and my dad said he would get it for me and to send him the picture, so I thought I would share it all with you too.




I'd just like to add its good to go out with no makeup on sometimes. I did this day and didn't even think about it. I know when I was younger I never used to do it and I would feel really insecure but nobody cares what you look like, except for you.

Promise me everything is going to be ok.

What do you do when your scared and you don't trust anyone or believe that they can help you. How do we put our faith in that they can save us?
I feel like I am ready to be a mother.. I mean I was ready in 2012 when the worst thing happened. When you fall pregnant and its a shock your minds all over the place, you wonder what people will think, your scared to tell people.. I was like this and in the end I just come out with it no tip toeing around.. you just say it!
My mum knew first as she was waiting as I done the test, it said positive so I did another which also said positive. She was fine about it and just carried on putting the cheese on her toast. I then sent my boyfriend a picture of the test and he called me and said so does that mean your pregnant.. yes I said and he just laughed and went on about how we was going to name the baby after a Chelsea player!
I was over the moon that he was so supportive and after he got telling all of his family out of the way I think he was more comfortable with it. We were both shocked but happy and as time went on it started to sink in more that we were going to be parents. We got so excited and we prepared ourselves for the arrival of our little girl.
The pregnancy wasn't great but I actually loved the feeling of being pregnant I loved feeling her kick and move around and hiccup! I used to talk to my belly quite a bit and I felt I was growing closer and closer to her.. I was so ready for her to be born and start being the best mum I could be!
When that didn't happen.. I had to try and get used to being just regular old me again. Do you know how hard that is? I had to take what felt like 100 steps back in life. It was an even bigger adjustment than finding out I was pregnant. Life is so hard and throws curve balls at you all the time.  Me and my boyfriend are so ready. There's just one thing stopping me, well not stopping me just scares me. The thought that I might die if I get pregnant again scares me so much and to see people who are so bad in they're pregnancy.. smoking, doing drugs and drinking and they have a completely normal run and the baby comes out perfect! How? Why me? When I tried so hard to be good? As I said before I loved being pregnant and now even the thought of it makes me feel nervously sick.
The point is no body that can tell me its all going to be fine, you and your baby will be ok Emma and that scares me.

There's so many things that can go wrong but I am only asking for one thing to go right, just this once, I wont ask for anything again, Please let everything be ok this next time.

So I was thinking a lot today about future pregnancies, if any of you have had pre eclampsia and got pregnant again and it went ok or you got it again but how it was different how the hospitals treated you this time,  or just have general advice please comment below it would be a big help.

Thanks for reading.

4 months?

So its been 4 months? yes, yes it has. Writing your feelings down can be hard sometimes. Even writing your opinions can be hard too because everyone has different views on everything! What do you do when you've got so much in your head that you want to share with the world but your not sure if you can or even should?

Well I've decided to really try at blogging and if I fail and come back in another 4 months then who cares.. at least I can say I have tried right?

So why do I even bother with this? I bother because sometimes.. well more or less all the time when I write something down and just get it out of my head I feel better. I feel I am not holding things in, not trying to be cut off from the world anymore.  I find it hard to open up to people and putting it in a blog post is so much easier, its there for other people to read and if they are going through the same sort of thing then they know they are not the only one. Whenever something goes wrong we all think why me? why now? Some people don't care if other people are going through things too but if your one of those people that are a little bit nosy.. well intrigued sounds better (like me haha) then you will like to know how other people are feeling and what's going on in the world.. so lets do it.

Ok so ive said it I am really going to try hard to write what I feel like when I feel like it.. although I find it hard to put in words sometimes, I really want to re vamp my blog and make it the best I can with what I have its all trial and error in everything in life. Wish me luck!
