    Mani Monday with AZATURE!

    Disclaimer: I am not a nail blogger or professional (so sometimes I color outside of the lines and my cuticles look a bit ragged). I am merely a girl who LOVES nail polish!


    What can make glitter nail polish even better? DIAMONDS!!!! That's right ladies - fine jewelry designer, AZATURE, has followed up the launch of Azature Black Diamond Nail Polish {the most expensive nail polish in the world}, with a more affordable taste of luxury with this Black Diamond  infused nail polish collection - each containing a real black diamond! I was sent a few shades to try out and I have to admit, while I was a bit skeptical to start, I'm truly impressed with the quality of the lacquers!

    Regaining Your Pre-Baby Body (Yummy Mummy Fitness)



    The battle to regain your pre-baby shape can be a tough challenge for any new mom who has gained weight during pregnancy {I've documented my struggles with it here}. New parents have a lot of demands on their time, even when they would normally be sound asleep. While celebrity interviews often claim that the weight ‘dropped right off once the baby was born’, many new mothers find that this is far from the case.

    When people are tired, stressed and extra busy, they often turn to comfort or junk foods {raise your hand if you're a stress eater like me} and end up piling on more ‘hard to shift’ pounds. New mommies are particularly susceptible to this trap and often find that their self-esteem can plummet as they get further and further away from that target of fitting back into their ‘pre-baby jeans’.

    So what can you  do?
