As a busy, working mum my sleep is important to me. Very Important. I am not someone who can function on a few hours sleep, I need a decent 7-8 hours, minimum. What feels like yonks ago I posted about my Lumie Bodyclock and how it was rocking my world and helping me wake up refreshed on those cold dark mornings. Well you will be pleased to hear that I still stick by all I say, they are still brilliant and with Mother’s Day round the corner I thought it would be great to give a mumma the gift of…
I was single for almost 2 years. For the first year I didn’t date – at all. I was so done with men all I wanted to do was focus on my little girls, my friends and work.

Yes we are talking bleach, ten long years of having bleach highlights. Ouch!
