So this week sticking to my love of blue shade nail polishes, I have painted my nails with a more turquoise blue nail polish. I have used Barry M Gelly in Guava for this look. Now I've had this colour for a while, and have used it once or twice in the past but strangely enough, I really

Hello all. Welcome back. These past two weeks have been pretty calm. The weather has been so much better which is lovely. However we suspect bubba may suffer from hay-fever, so we shall be going to the doctors just to check things out, as you do. Cai has so many teeth already, but over the last month or

Our Prince is 18 Months Old
Our baby is now 18 months - 1 and a half years old, I just cannot deal. Where does the time go? I thought I would do a full update on Cai every 6 months or so, to document the changes and it will be something nice for us to look back at. I get super emotional as

Monday Mani : Nearly Nude
I am currently on the hunt for a lovely nude shade. I find Rimmel's nude shades more suitable for me. I love Barry M Gelly in Lychee but always find I cannot apply it smoothly. It's either too thick or streaky which is not cute and then results in chips 2 days later. So while I'm on the

I have grown up with my friend Ayesha from primary school. We used to talk to each other for hours on end with our wishes for our lives. The man. The car. The travels. The career. Most importantly the kids, motherhood, names, what we thought they would look like, things we wanted to do with them, to name

Father's Day Follow-Up
This is just a small post to let you guys know how Mal's day went this Father's Day. Mal doesn't celebrate Father's Day so to not over plague him with Father's Day celebratory bits, I tried to keep things respectfully small. I try to let him know I appreciate him everyday, but I am a sucker for doing

The Boots Event That Never Was
I was umming and ahhing on whether to put up this post, as there is not much to report, annnd it is not the most positive review of a Boots Parenting Club Event. Nevertheless, I have to honest and thought, why not just share my experience. I had signed up to Boots Parenting Club when pregnant and was

My manis have been lasting even less than usual recently. However I am guilty of not wearing my Marigold's (yellow gloves if you didn't know) when washing up :(. My goodness the damage this can do is just ridic. So this week trying to be a good girl I painted my nails without a design and just kept

Hey hey hey. I thought it would be a nice feature to add a small fortnightly family catch up on Mellies Corner. Children grow so fast and no two weeks are the same even though much of what we do might be. We take so many pictures daily so this is also the place where I will add

Mummy Problems
Yesterday was a difficult day. We had a friend round with his son and all started so well. Cai loves kids and is so excited to play with them. However he will also sometimes really TEST the boundaries, 'showing off' you could call it around others. His testing today resulted in 10+ solid minutes of crying, TANTRUMS, having to

Good old confused British weather. Now I am not a lover of HOT weather especially in the UK. After it goes past 25 degrees ..... I'm not interested and thankfully my hubby is the same. However there is nothing I love more than thinking up all the outfits I'd love to dress Cairo in.

Monday Mani : Orange Fever
Here we are again. Another week, another mani. I have a love/hate relationship with orange nail polish, it's not a colour I tend to wear often. When I do go for an orange nail polish, I usually tend to stick to neon orange shades as I feel they look better with my skin tone. However I wanted to

As I am now a mummy, my nail polish does not last or stay chip resistant for long AT ALL. I'm lucky if I get 3 days wear out of them, so I usually tend to paint them twice a week especially if I have something special going on. I've always enjoyed painting my nails however I am
