How to keep your baby warm through winter

It’s the first week of December and temperatures have dropped below freezing point. The weather has become intensely cold and miserable. For first time parents, it can get quite stressful knowing how to keep their baby warm and dry. Whatever temperature it is, always make sure you keep your baby comfortably warm and not overheated. If you overdress the baby, it will cause overheating and it is thought to be one of the major causes of Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) or cot death. If you underdress the baby, they will get too cold and may get hypothermia.

6 tips on how to choose the prefect dress for prom or wedding

The “prom dress” has the same cut and silhouette as the bridal gown. The only difference in the prom frock is its fabric; it must be light, flowing, and form-fitting. While brides wear white for purity, innocence, and virginity, teens don wear white because it doesn’t show up well on camera.

Choosing Your Fashion Accessories

Choosing the right clothes is essential, but it is equally vital to wear the perfect accessories. Investing in a few good pieces of jewellery, like necklaces and bracelets, will not only make your outfits pop with style but also allow you to show off your personality.

Changing Your Husbands Style to Match Your Own

Trendy Parent Goals: Changing Your Husbands Style to Match Your Own

Being a parent isn’t the most glamorous lifestyle, but it is still important to maintain your look to ensure you feel happy and confident in yourself. Fashion and style play a huge part in this. What you wear can make you look and feel better about your figure and natural beauty. When you keep up with the latest trends and wear high-end brands, you feel like you can show your look off, instead of being shy and embarrassed. However, maintaining this kind of style and sophistication is easy when it comes to your own fashion and lifestyle choices, but it can be difficult to get our men to follow our lead. If both parents look good when they drop and pick their children up from the school gates, it helps you to become that power couple that everyone aspires to be.

New Look Elf Pyjamas Review

Have you seen the latest range of His and Her Elf pyjamas sets from New Look for this Christmas season? It is not very often that both Mr C and I own similar sets of clothing. The last time we did was years ago, where all of us dressed up in Captain America t-shirts for the new year.

Petit-Fernand Products Review

How do you label your children’s school clothing? It is almost at the end of the school term and some of you might already be looking at getting stick-on labels or personalised stationery for your children. Most schools will emphasise how important it is for you to label your children’s clothing and their belongings so that the items can be identified! It is always shocking to see the mountain of lost and found items at the end of the school year without any labels.

Marks & Spencer 2017 School Uniform

First day at school is a huge milestone for children and even parents, and it is easy for them to become anxious about new routines after a long summer break and social situations. As many of you know, Marks & Spencer (M&S) has been making uniforms for decades, and knows what it takes to keep your child smart, confident and comfortable through the school day. At the heart of that is letting kids be themselves and being comfortable in their own skin.

Sportswear Outfits from Jacamo

Badminton is one of Mr C’s favourite sports. He plays regularly and so he often has to replace his sportswear. Mr C had a quick browse of the Jacamo website and they have a good selection of men’s sportswear with accessories, tops, bottoms and footwear. He finds the website easy to navigate and there is a lot of information for him to make an informed choice. Do note that some items are dispatch by Jacamo and some are dispatched directly from the supplier.

He quickly picked up these three sportswear items and he was pleased that they have his size in stock. Mr C has a small frame but sometimes he prefers to wear a slightly bigger size for a loose fit.

This coming 3^rd February is our 10^th wedding anniversary and we have made special plans to celebrate it with our children.

Trespass Waterproof Jacket Review

After we had a few days of nice weather, we thought summer was here to stay for a bit longer but the next moment, it turned cold with heavy rain! I am so glad to have this Trespass waterproof ladies jacket to get me through this horrible weather especially as I had it in time for our outdoor adventure to Conkers. It is a great jacket that keeps me warm and cosy.

This is my first time owning a Trespass jacket and I am already impressed with the materials and workmanship. It looks great even after being machine washed at 30°C. We went to Conkers and it kept me protected from the rain and muddy puddles!
