OMCZ Challenge #7 - Geek Chic

Hi Everyone,

I'm writing from the past..... while you are reading this I will still be laying on a beach somewhere with my Pina Colada in one hand a book in the other while Mr M feeds me grapes and fans me (ha ha, the reality is I will probably be nursing a hangover from the all inclusive bar) .

So anyway I thought I better get prepared and schedule this and then I can catch up with everything when I get back at the weekend.

So, its that time again for the latest OMCZ challenge.

 This weeks challenge setter was: Gail from http://www.gailygumdrops.blogspot.ie

Challenge: Geek Chic
Thick framed glasses, satchels, video game related stuff.

Hmmm this one proved be a tricky one for me as I don't own any video game related stuff I don't even own a games console, the closest to a video game for me is my unhealthy obsession with Candy Crush, I don't own a satchel or cartoon print other than my PJ's. Maybe I should have just worn them. lol.

No No, I'm going to rise to the challenge and do my own interpretation of Geek Chic with the resources I have.

So, in short, I'm wearing Mr M's Captain America top, Denim shirt AND.... a big challenge for me SHORTS.

Shorts are a big no no for me, but actually when I wore them for this challenge with tights they didn't look bad at all (I think anyway)

I love the way these challenges really do push the boundaries and make you think about an outfit that you wouldn't ordinarily wear but when you do you think 'ooooh I actually look alright'

Outfit:
Denim Shirt: So Fabulous @ Very
Captain America T-Shirt: Mr M's - think it was from Tesco's
Shorts: Simply Be
Tight & Ballet Pumps: George @ Asda
Glasses: Ummm don't know, old pair from fancy dress

 Thanks to Gail for setting this challenge it was really good fun and has helped me
A) Release my inner Geek
B) Eliminate my fear of shorts

Now..... Please excuse me I have a game of Candy Crush to finish......

MUA Power Pout - Broken Hearted

Good Evening Everyone,

Firstly an apology, I feel that I have neglected the beauty aspect of my blog of late. But rest assured I still adore make up and today I wanted to share with you my new lipstick love from MUA.

I am a total sucker for all the MUA products lately, they are so cheap (but in a good way) everyone loves a bargain and it seems every time I'm in Super drug a few more items end up in my basket.

Today I want to tell you about

MUA Power Pout - Broken Hearted

A colour intense tint and balm

The range is similar to the Clinque Chubby Sticks which I also love, but the MUA version is so much cheaper at £3.00 each compared to Clinque being £16.00 each.

This balm/lipstick (I call it a lipstick) is really lovely and the pencil style effect makes it easy to apply  and its very moisturising when its on.

I went for the colour Broken Hearted but you can also get these in five other shades  Rendez Vous, Irreplaceable, Crazy in Love, Runway and Justify.

 Another thing I noticed about this was the smell.... it smells minty, its really nice.

Minty Freshness

Lovely colour when its on and you can actually see how moisturising it is.

I hope you agree that if you love chubby sticks or MUA or tinting lipbalms in general this is deffo a purchase you need to get. 

I'm off to get the other colours now before they sell out, you can also purchase these on the MUA website here

Love

Mrs M xxxx

Flash The Flesh

A couple of weeks ago during our weekly Sunday #psbloggerschat over on Twitter a group of us bloggers were talking about our preferences between mini and maxi's and Becky over at www.doesmyblogmakemelookfat.com  thought that it would be great to create a challenge with the goal being to show a little bit more skin and our body (but with style and no vulgarity) showing proudly our curves. And so “Flash the Flesh” was born.

My own particular challenge is to 'flash some leg'.

I don't like my legs at all and so this is my quest to try to learn to love them. 

The reason's I don't like them:

a) They are short and stumpy

b) They are so white and pasty

c) I suffer from really dry skin on them

d) I bruise easily on them, if you look closely enough you can see some bruises. 

I made the most of the sunshine we had last weekend to take the pics and get me pins out. 

I'm not gonna lie the thought of posting a pic of my legs is pretty daunting, I would normal wear this dress with either tights or leggings, but I NEED to embrace them and embrace them I shall... with you all!!

Outfit:

Dress: Inspire at New Look

Wedges: Simply Be

Cardi: George @ Asda

Sunnies: Primark

Meet Baby Eliana

Hey Everyone,

Finally after what seemed like the longest pregnancy for my gorgeous best friend Bec Bec, finally her new lil baby girlie is here.

The best wake up call I had at 1.30am on Wednesday morning to say she had arrived safe and sound.

Here she is Baby Eliana with her gorgeous mummy Becky and her super duper proud big sister Sofia.

  

Auntie Em obvs had to have cuddles too, she is so light and dinky and a little snorter, super cute.

Sofia has also developed a love of the camera too, she likes saying Cheeeeeeeeeeese now.

Love them all to bits

Love

OMCZ Challenge #6 - Neon

Hi Everyone,

Its that time again for the latest OMCZ challenge.

This week the challenge is slightly different, we are all taking turns in setting them for each other.

Neon
Your choice, be it clothing, accessories, make up. 
At least 1 neon colour but the more the merrier.

Well today I decided on a really old Neon Pink top of mine from River Island, I usually wear it for bed but hey ho, for the purposes of a challenge I've revived it for normal wear.

Also the first showing on the blog of my new haircut, I've had a good 5 inches cut from my hair just over a week ago now. I love it, my head feels so light now. Nothing like a new 'do' to make you feel better. I'm going lighter over the next few months, going to do it gradually so look out for a more 'Blonder Em' in the coming months.

Anyhoo you may have also noticed my little special guest also sporting his Neon Green bandana.
Yep its my lil Harvey.

Harvey & Me

Love my lil Harveypoo

He looks so cool in his bandana

Old Oversized Neon and a smile in the sun.

Outfit:
Top: River Island
Black Hareem Trousers: New Look
Gold Sandals: Next
Sunglasses: Primark

Happy 6th Anniversary To Us...

Morning Everyone,

Love this one of us. Can you tell Chris hates the camera tho :)

Excuse the lack of blogging it's been a busy old Bank Holiday, beach frolics, holiday shopping (yes more) spending time with family and celebrating our wedding anniversary.

It seems the more the sun comes out the less time I spend on the computer and I am easily distracted.

Anyway, yesterday was our 6th Wedding Anniversary. six blissful years with the man I love.

The time has flown by so quickly.

All I can say is I would not be without this man.

He is my whole world and these six years have been one of the most joyous as well as the hardest. Who know if we will ever have a family, I hope so, but for the moment we are taking it one year at a time and just enjoying married life and each other.

I thought I would just share a few of our wedding snaps with you all.

My brother who gave me away and my gorgeous bridesmaids just arrived at the church

Awww just left the church - Properly married now

 

Obligatory garden shot :)

Eskimo Kiss - My favourite - we have this one blown up at home.

 

 C'mon everyone lets lift the heavy - I mean happy couple - The funniest shot

 

Us Yesterday

 

Have a lovely day everyone.

Love

Mrs M xxxx
