Monochrome Jacket OOTD

Hi Guys!

Today I wanted to share with you a quick outfit post to show you my latest addition to my wardrobe from a clothing company called Damart.

Damart is a French company founded in 1953 and they have both men and women's wear and go up to large sizes.

I picked out this monochrome jacket* as I feel it's a real statement piece and it has stretch for easy movement which I thought was great for comfort.



As you can see I decided to keep of the rest of my outfit quite plain to not take away from the beautiful print of the jacket, with a basic black dress, tights and ballet pumps.

Urtekram Beauty Products Review

Hi Guys,

Today I wanted to share with you beauty products from a brand called Urtekram. 

Urtekram is a Danish organic and vegan beauty specialist, they have an organic range made for adults and children which is hypoallergenic and incredibly gentle on young and older skin alike. 

I was lucky enough to be sent some products to try out these include their Rose Body Lotion*, Rose Spray Conditioner* and Calendular Spray Conditioner*.

First is the Rose Body Lotion*, this is an excellent moisturiser and comes in a generous size 245ml bottle with a handy pump.

The smell is lovely and is described on their website as 'the scent of thousands of roses coming towards you'. 

This body lotion contains lots of great natural ingredients including shea butter, aloe vera and rose geranium oil which leave your skin feeling hydrated and very soft. 

Next is the Rose Spray Conditioner*, this contains Hyaluronic Acid to balance moisture and prevent dryness. I found this was a great to use after washing my hair as it helps me detangle and brush through my hair. 

The Calendular Spray Conditioner* is great for children as it is a gentle formula with Calendula extract to ease combing of long hair.

The range starts at a very affordable price of £2.85 and is available from independent health food shops nationwide.  You can check out their website here: www.urtekram.com.

Royal Canin featuring my French Bulldogs

Hi Everyone,

Today I'm lucky enough to be bringing to you a collaboration with Royal Canin. As a lot of you will already know I have four French Bulldogs - Frank, Miley, Sadie and Lexi.

I received a hamper in a 'French Bulldog Treasure' crate which includes two bags of food, a lovely personalised bowl for each of my dogs and some soft squeaky bones for them to play with.

My dogs are currently on a diet of dry and wet food, however i am always on the lookout for a new brand of dog food for my dogs to try out and to convert to.

I have been giving my dogs Royal Canin French Bulldog* which is a complete dog food of exclusive kibble, specially formulated to meet the needs of the specific French bulldog breed. Royal Canin have a large range with a wide selection of complete diets for many different breeds. 

Some of it's benefits include 

- Ideal muscle mass

- Helps to support joints

- Odour reducing

As soon as the food hit the bowls my frenchies eagerly tucked in. Each one of them ate their entire bowl and seemed to enjoy the food. In the past some dog foods they have sniffed and not ate and been wary of, however they all was very keen and enjoyed this food.

After they finished their meal I gave them the soft squeaky bones to play with. Frank in particular is very competitive and was keen to grab a bone first. He loved the squeaker in the toy and it give him lots of pleasure playing with it. 

French Bulldogs make great companions as they are very loyal, affectionate and loving. They get on great with other dogs and all have fabulous comical personalities.

They can be quite a stubborn breed and require plenty of training, however are highly intelligent and a pleasure to keep.

They enjoy going for walks over the fields, especially when it's muddy as they love rolling in the mud. 

They love toys and treats, especially pigs ears. 

I hope you have enjoyed reading about my frenchies! For more information about French Bulldogs and other breeds check out https://royalfamily.royalcanin.co.uk/ 

This post has been made possible thanks to Royal Canin, but all thoughts are my own. 

ERiiS Sun Review

Hi Guys!

Hope you are all well, with April very nearly upon us today I wanted to talk about a sun protection product from ERiiS Sun.

I was drawn to this product because it offers triple protection sun care against UVA, UVB and Infrared and is allergen and paraben free, ideal for delicate or sensitive skin.

I picked out the ERiiS Sun 50+ SPF Sun Protection Milk* which is the highest SPF in the range. I chose this because I am fair-skinned and burn easily. However, it does also come in SPF 6, 15, 30 and also as an after-sun.

After trying out ERiiS Sun for the last few weeks I am impressed and would recommend this product. The product itself has a light texture and absorbed in to my skin quickly without leaving any residue. The packaging is good quality and has a secure pump on the top that is handy when applying.

Paul Mitchell have a range of Bonus Bags which work out great value as they contain two full size products, they are packaged in brightly coloured bags making them a perfect gift idea. This range caters for all of your hair needs such as colour care, smoothing, moisture and extra body.
