About Me

London, United Kingdom
Greetings, Thank you for stopping by my little space on the World Wide Web. My blog is intended to be a friendly, informative space where you can pick up tips and tricks. I am Dani and 25 years old. Just like most other twenty somethings I thought I had a life plan after university and planned to take my Broadcast Journalism degree to the city. However, things do not happen like that as in my final year I learned I was pregnant and would be facing it alone. My blog covers the ups and downs without sugar coating (although i do love sugar). Finishing a degree and starting a master with a two month old baby was hard and I intend to cover all aspects of the unexpectedness and unconventional start of my family. I am in a place where I could not be happier with my family; Jack, Alexander and baby bear in my tummy. I will concentrate on my pregnancy, getting back in shape, diet and exercise and pulling it all together with no sleep. Alongside, I also plan to share my personal wedding planning journey. . Having worked as an Event manager I am thrilled to be organising my own wedding. I plan to do most of it myself and will talk you through DIY tips and tricks.

Pregnancy Skincare

Greetings!

My skin does not agree with the pregnancy hormones. I am still waiting for the 'pregnancy glow' that everyone talks about. In fact I get angry under-the-skin cystic acne. Being pregnant means I have stopped using my retinol serum which usually helps my skin. Here are the products I have found useful in managing pregnancy acne.


Morning:
Cetaphil gentle cleanser Buy Here
Sudocream
Superdrug Vitamin E Daily Moisturiser with SPF
Superdrug Vitamin E oil (also used for facial massage) Buy Here
Primer- Bare Minerals Buy Here
Liz Earle - Spray Facial mist Buy Here


Evening
Origins Checks and Balances Foamy Face Wash Buy Here
Foreo Lumea - for application Buy Here
Vitamin C drops on face
First Aid Beauty Ultra Repair Cream Buy Here
Estee Launder Advanced Night Repair Serum Buy Here


Weekly

 Every three days I will give myself a facial massage


Once a week I will give myself an at-home-facial. This consists of a exfoliation, face mask, steam, nose strip and some light extraction.

I also found microdermabrasion to be amazing for my skin. It literally decongested me completely. The only thing I would say is do not pay over £20 as essentially it is a hoover (pretty sure you could make one at home).
