Glossybox UK April - Sweet Treats

It is April and time to open this month's Glossybox. I got it already on Monday, which is really early as I was expecting it to arrive at the end of the week.



In the box were 5 products. A few of the brands were already familiar to me.




TRESemme Instant Refresh Cleansing Dry Shampoo - £4.99 for 200ml. Mine is a travel size product (100ml). I have heard of dry shampoos but have never tried one. It absorbs oil for instantly revived hair with an added touch of volume. Before using, shake can vigorously before taking sections of hair spray from roots outwards.



MeMeMe Cosmetics Beat the blues - Pearl Pink - Full size product, £5.50 for 12ml. This is a multi-use product which can be applied straight onto the cheekbones for highlighting or can be mixed into foundation for a more subtle shimmer. It gives a natural glow and look.



Monu Spa Warming Ginger Massage & Body Oil - Full size £26 for 100ml. Mine is a sample size 30ml, which is pretty good for trying this product out. Monu Spa is British brand making a range of luxurious natural body care spa products for skin, hair and hands/feet. Again it is also a multi-use product. A small amount can be added to a warm bath or massaged into the skin before having bath or shower. It leaves skin silky smooth and thoroughly nourished and pampered. Its uplifting aromas refresh the senses and relax aching muscles. Calendula, Jojoba Seed Oil and Vitamins A and E deliver all you need to gently restore natural softness to skin.



SunSense UK Daily Face SPF 50+ - Full size £20.99 for 75g. Mine is a small sample size (10g). This is a daily face and neck product to protect your skin from harmful UV rays, not only in summer but all year round. It has an oil-free base, which is ideal for combination and oily skin types. One teaspoon 15 minutes before going outdoors should help for sun protection. This is an Australian brand, marketed by Ego Pharmaceuticals. It seems like Glossybox knows me very well, as I am having a holiday in Australia later this year. I will probably try this out before my trip and if my skin likes it, I can always buy a larger tube locally when I'm there.



And the last one - Emite Make Up Lip Brush - L312 - £17. It is from a Swedish make up brand which makes a range products as well as make up tools. I am very happy about this lip brush, as I was thinking of buying one but always kept putting it off.

Overall I am very satisfied with this month's Glossybox, I like all of the the products and for the first time I will use/try each one of them. I am on the monthly subscription and paying £10 + postage & packing and I can say it is definitely worth my money! It is also good that I can cancel any time I am getting tired or bored of the box. I am looking forward to May!

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
