My Birthday weekend

Hey everyone...

I turned 29 on the 28th of august and I had a fab weekend I went for dinner on the Saturday night in the cellar one restaurant in the http://www.theross.ie/cellar-one-restaurant.html with my fiancé. It was unreal I love it there the food is amazing and it's a beautiful modern romantic place. I met with my friends for drinks after and we had a great night. I was wrecked on the Sunday so spend most of my actual birthday stuck to the couch lol I was spoiled rotten by my fiance kids and family and feel turning 29 wasn't so bad.. we headed out again that night to finish it off nicely and I'm still wrecked but it was definitely worth it.

My hair and make up for the night.

 Hair done in Seantaaffes by the lovely cara 

Make up done by me! My lashes are from https://www.mandycosmetics.com/ 

They are beautiful mink lashes and 5 % of any purchase goes to cancer research which is amazing they are reusable so I can't wait to wear them again and again.

That's all for now

Breast Check

Hey all

Hope ye are all well.. I'm writing a very personal blog post but 1 I feel needs to be written about. So as ye can probably tell by the title I'm talking about checking your breasts regularly for any lumps or changes that might be occurring. I found a lump in my right breast around 7 weeks ago and went to my doctor who referred me to the breast clinic in the CUH in Cork. I wasn't too concerned as I had been there in 2012 for the same thing and had a cyst removed from my right breast i am left with a small scar and thought the new lump I was feeling was maybe scar tissue or something so I went to Cork and had an ultrasound done and they said it was scar tissue but the lady doing it moved the thing around and found another lump and said they needed to do a biopsy and I would get the results whitin 7-10 days so they took 3 biopsy's and sent me on my way. It wasn't sore they numb the area 1st but I haven't felt any pain so apart from the bruising you wouldn't even know i had anything done.. now I went in feeling OK as I said but I left feeling scared and worried and waiting for the results felt like the longest week of my life but thankfully I got the all clear it was a benign cyst thank God. I thought the worst all week as anyone would but I'm so happy it was good news and I'm so grateful for my life and everyone in it. Ye are stuck with me for another while. The reason I'm sharing this is so ye can go check ye're breast's now. Males and females can get breast cancer but the earlier it's detected the better. Hopefully this post helps at least 1 person out.

To the world you may be 1 person
But to 1 person u are the world

Thanks as always for reading

Cocoa Brown Kind go BIG

Hey ladies hope ye are well..

It's been a while since I have done a blog post I'm feeling very demotivated. Maybe it's because my blog didn't make it onto the shortlist of the littlewoods Ireland blog awards but look 2017 is another year.. anyway I'm super excited that the cocoa brown kind range are now available in the 200ml size I can't rave enough about them. I'm telling everyone and Their mothers about them. They make my hair so smooth and silky my hair is in bits from bleaching it but this shampoo/conditioner are a god send. My 1 year old suffers from eczema and these products are all I can use on her without her flaring up. I get mine in penneys/primark for €3 each BARGAIN. I will leave some information below about them but trust me and go buy them ye won't regret it.

That's all for now

July Loves and Lusts

Hey all. Hope ye are well. As ye can see by the title this is about the things i have been loving and lusting after in July. My birthday is coming up so im hoping some of these will be in my possession soon lol.

Loves

1. So i have mentioned this on the blog before but i am loving it so much that it needs another mention. The Cocoa Brown kind range of shampoo, conditioner and shower gel iv run out of all 3 and cant wait to repurchase them when the bigger bottles come out. The shampoo and conditioner are amazing for my dry damaged hair my hair brush just glides through my hair after i use these, but my the shower gel has to be my fave out of the 3 simply because i can use it on my baby who has eczema on her back and flares up when we use any shower gel or bubble bath except this 1. How amazing is that like. I cant recommend these enough!

2. Cailyn Brow Gel in the shade Cocoa is my fave brow product that i have ever used EVER.... It glides on and does not budge but its still easy to take off. Its the perfect shade for me and i just love it. And it has a built in brush. Its 20 euros but worth every penney. I got mine off cara pharmacy but ill leave a link here if ye want to buy it.

3. Make up lol i know thats an obvious 1 but i did the 20 day make up challenge laura dempsey created on instagram and had so much fun doing it, it was nice to play around with all my make up and create new looks ill leave a link to my insta if ye wanna take a look here.

Lusts

1. These ban.do 17 month agendas from my shining armour are the cutest and anyone who knows me knows i am soooo forgetful so i defo need 1 of these. I'll leave the link here they would be a fab pressie for anyone really.

2. The urban decay moondust pallette looks unreal and since i got the alice in wonderland 1 from urban decay and have 2 of the naked pallettes i just know this 1 is going to be amazing its out August 4th i think. I cant wait to get my hands on it. Ill leave a link here.

3. I have wanted 1 of these for the longest time time now the bombay duck mugs with initials on them oh they are just the cutest things ever like. I'll leave the link here

Thats all for now

PARENTING

Hey all hope ye are well. I'm lying in bed unable to sleep because my mind is on overdrive. I had 1 of those days where I would have been better off if I stayed in bed. Everything went wrong... I had a massive argument with my 8 year old kaysey and I caught my 1 year old charley  fingers in the car door... that's just the tip of the iceberg of how my day went... I'm ridled with guilt now.. I hate fighting with my daughter and obviously I'm not a fan of catching my babies fingers I'm car doors... tomorrow better be a better day. Two woman I look up to and admire so much are Marissa Carter and Katrina Kelly/Perry. They always have their shit together. If ye don't know who they are Marissa Carter is the founder of cocoa brown and Katrina Kelly/Perry is the founder of K2 hair and push make up. Both woman have 2 kids like myself but just make it all look so easy.. I love being me don't get me wrong I'm blessed with what I have and I only want to be a better version of myself from now on but honestly whenever I see their Snapchat stories I feel inspired and I really look up to them. Follow them on Snapchat if ye dont already. Cartermarissa and KatrinaK2hair.   In my day to day life my biggest inspiration is my mom. She rared myself and my brothers all alone while working a full time job I didn't care at the time cause I was a child but now I have my own kids and a loving fiance I don't honestly know how she did it alone and continues to be an amazing mother grandmother and woman.

Just my thoughts of today tomorrow will be better kaysey's got a photo shoot for the musical so I must go to sleep busy day ahead tomorrow. As always thanks for reading.

All my love
