The other day I received two new makeup products that I hadn’t used before from @lust__minerals . They were the illuminate primer - which has glistening peachy undertones and the illuminate highlight powder - which throws the most beautiful silvery tones.
I couldn’t be happier with both of the products, they just give the skin the most beautiful glow, and to be honest I was a little scared of the primer as I’ve never used one like that before, but once your makeup goes over the top it makes your skin so luminous and gives it a lease of life underneath the matte makeup look that I prefer. Now I can’t get enough of it 🙊💕

I’ve also been using the new liquid foundation from their range too, i think that may be a new fave, the coverage is amazing and buildable so every time you get the look you want 🎨 .
.
Here I am wearing the • rejuvenation oil primer mixed with the illuminate primer.
• liquid foundation in 05
• a bit of loose mineral powder in 18 and a dusting of pressed powder in 18
• blush 02
• brow dust in 01
• illuminate highlight on cheekbones, nose, forehead, under brows, inner corner of eyes and Cupid’s bow 💋

Yesterday was Harrison’s first birthday. Of course it’s the day he was born, but it’s also the day that I became a mother and watched my husband become a father. As every parent knows, your whole world truly changes in an instant.
I feel so privileged to call these two my family, and my heart still bursts watching them together just as much as it did the very first time.
This precious moment 👉🏽 when Harrison was born and placed onto my chest is etched into my mind like no other. I remember everything about it so vividly. I will always treasure this moment and have loved every minute of having you in the world since, happy birthday precious boy✨🌙

My boys 💙 and me lagging behind taking photos as per usual 😂 Does anyone else find they do this? 🤦🏼♀️
Exercising with two monkeys is a whole new ball game 😆 Happy rainbow painting with the toosh 🌈🍑 #happyhumpday#mumsandbubsfitness

Late night #transformationtuesday
__
Left picture, low quality I know. But I use to be so self conscious about myself. I hated the way I looked. I looked in the mirror and just tore myself apart, every little thing about me. I'd always look for something to say looked bad or that I hated.
__
Right picture. I feel confident. I gained back self love for myself, for my body. I unapologetically me in that picture. I'm actually happy. I'm being myself.
__
Yes it was a hard leap to make, but I did it and I am never turning back. If I could have told myself back then what I know now about health & fitness, I never would have just let myself go.
__
I cared what everyone thought. I always thought I was getting judged or picked on. --> fast forward to now. I don't give a f*** what anyone thinks about me. I am doing me. I only have one life and I am done living it trying to live up to everyone else's standards, to try to be "perfect." I'm finally happy & it took a lot of work.
__
The best decision I could have ever made for myself was to invest in myself. To step out of my comfort zone. To finally take care of my body & learn to love it & appreciate it.
__
If you're looking for that push then here it is. It's time to stop saying "one day" & get up and say "day one." The longer you wait, the longer you'll regret it. Trust me, I've been there. I've been in your shoes. Take action, don't let fear hold you back. Send me a message if you're ready to get rolling! You CAN do it babes!
How gorgeous is this!? 🧡
We absolutely love seeing your babes wearing our amber! Be sure to tag us and use #amberocks#amberinaction to be featured... you might even win one of our free $10 vouchers to spend in store @_amberocks_ 🙌🏼💸

I am feeling defeated. I try not to post anything negative because there is way too sadness out there BUT that being said... since I use social media as an outlet in hopes that others going through obstacles feel like they can open up as well I will share this. .
.
For the last 5 days I’ve been suffering from a bacterial infection in my stomach. Two Er visits later and we are still waiting on the results of what the actual infection is. They are predicting it’s something I got while traveling or right after, possible salmonella because of the timeline.
.
.
Not being able to keep in food for over 4 days means no energy. It means no strength. I pride myself on being strong but right now I’m not even strong enough to pick up my baby and hold him for longer than 5 mins. I had a little bit of energy on Saturday and then worsened that Saturday evening. .
.
To top it off Santino has double ear infections and Lorenzo has a nasty cold.
.
.
In the grand scheme of things these illnesses seem so minor, it’s true... but for us it has just been one thing after the other and we are tired. .
.
I am hoping that tomorrow we wake up feeling better physically and mentally because being this sick is really taking a toll on our positive attitudes, aka we are all super grumpy. .

Just about my favourite photo I’ve ever taken 😍 Yellow has been my favourite color as long as I can remember, and judging by kiwi’s wardrobe so far it’s going to be his/hers too 🤣 Mom got these cute jammies for Kiwi from @primarydotcom and I love them!
My two greatest achievements by far!
Both drive me crazy, fill my heart with love, bring me to tears and give me the biggest smile! Seriously though how much of a rollercoaster is motherhood, One minute your up then something so little can bring you all the way back down. Your over tired but still have the energy to keep pushing on even if you dont think you do. Us women are seriously AMAZING! the things we do, the sacrifices we make for our little loves. We think they dont notice but in there eyes we are the be all and end all, there safe space and there comfort person. You mumma are simply amazing, you are loved beyond words and cherished like no other ♡ .

There is that feeling as a mum that you are letting people down. Your kids because you are so busy. Your friends because you don’t see them as often. Your partner. Your work. But remember you aren’t letting anyone down. You are doing the best you can and that is more than enough. Xx

My sassy beautiful love bug of a child.
I haven't been well since I pulled a muscle in my back exercising I've had a few other issues arise and i'm just a tad bit sore. I'm so desperate to exercise but I know it's not the right thing to do especially with the circuit training I enjoy doing will definitely put a strain on my recovery.
So I'm lapping up all the cuddles from this one and enjoying her little storytelling or should I say never ending stories 😂 if only you could be a fly on the wall in my house- this girlie has an amazing imagination .. such a shame shes at an age now where she gets weird about me pulling out my camera dammitt. Today she told me she has a baby in her belly like aunty Kate and it was going to live in her room and promptly advised me "you not have baby in your tummy k mummy I just have baby in mine ayeee" mmhmm sure thing kid 👍

Today was a proper family day. Full on out in the morning, take a picnic type day. We went to #W5 in the big smoke Belfast...Kids loved it. Amy bombed about like no other. We had a perfectly ample picnic even though hubby informed me we would absolutely have to go to the shops because we had nothing in..I don't think so love I can whip up a feast right here...may not be the freshest feast but edible 😂😂. Wee chippy for tea given all the £ we saved taking a picnic to W5...which was also free as @debbieosboroughequestrian had got us a cheeky voucher for Chrimbo.
This picture was an exhibition where last time it was dinosaurs. Not so pleasing to the boy who pointed out which dinosaurs had been in particular parts of the room. He also pointed out that the Antarctic and south pole were at the bottom ....he's 4!! 🙈🙈
The baby loved bombing about like the crazy little madam she is!
My plan to get a good #tomm routine going failed as we were making the most of the girls last day of 1/2 term. Will catch up tomorrow.....maybe. Level 1 done though and more caught up with washing than I've ever been.
Living room still toy free....💪💪

🦴🤰3rd trimester body 🤰🦴

How incredible is this? We’re absolutely loving this X-ray image of mother and baby ready for birth 💫
.
Most of a baby’s growing takes place in the third trimester which is when the abdominal and pelvic floor muscles work super hard to accommodate and support the increasing size and weight of the baby 💪
.
The postural changes that happen during later pregnancy commonly lead to lower back pain and the glute muscles can weaken as the pelvis changes position and the centre of gravity moves forward. To compensate for the arch in the lower back, the shoulders and upper back often become hunched causing a tight chest and shoulder pain.
.
Pelvic girdle pain (PGP) can also rear its ugly head in the third trimester due to the hormone relaxin which softens the ligaments, cartilage and cervix to create space for the baby in the pelvis. The pain can range from a mild ache to severe and the main thing to remember if you feel pelvic girdle pain is to try to stick to gentle exercises like yoga. Symmetrical poses are great as they help keep the pelvis in a neutral position. Taking smaller steps when walking helps too ❤️
