My Beauty Birthday Wish List

I love September, not only do I find this is one of the most beautiful months of the year as the summer goes into autumn. Sept also sees my birthday. I will be 31 this year and I so do not feel I have reached my 30's at all. My head still thinks I am in my 20's and young lol.
Now as my regular readers now, I have recently had a baby, and unfortunately due to some problems we have been having, and also having my 5 year old home for the summer hols, my beauty blog has been a bit slow. So I do apologise but now that school is back on, and things are getting better with LO I plan to get back on track with this.

So I thought I make a fun post today and as seeing my birthday is at the end of the Month ( 28th ), I am going to create a wish list of products I would like to receive.

1) First on my list has to be something  I can not live without at the moment, especially with the lack of sleep I am getting and that is my favourite eye cream by Biotherm - Blue Therapy for the Eyes. It does wonders to your eye area and erases dark circles.

2) I would love to have a Spa Day. I never have had one and right now, I certainly could do with some downtime and spend a few hours just having some time to myself and relax.

I need a tool that can do it without out any problems. So I am thinking a NO NO? 


 4) I really need some mascaras, this is one product I have to wear each day even if that's all I put on after my skincare routine.
So a good mascara ( or a year's supply LOL ) would be nice.


5) Would love a new wardrobe by MINT VElVET, their clothes are gorgeous and makes any mum feel yummy again.

Molton Brown UK  12-Piece Travel Size Shower Gel Gift Set 6) I love my showers, I shower every day and so always need a wash of some sort. The Molton Brown - Bathing Treasures Set would be perfect for trying out some new scents with a collection of 12 miniatures.



7) I love trying out new skincare products and I have good things about this company. Anything from here would be a great gift - NUXE





 8) As gift subscription to a beauty box would be fab too. I love trying out new beauty products and what could be better than to receive a box or two.  There are a few available - Birch Box, Be-Box, glossybox, lovemebeauty,  to name a few.


9) I would like to get my teeth whitened, I have tried a number of toothpastes that are supposed to make your teeth whiter but they don't seem to make them as white as I thought they would. However, I would prefer to get this done via my dentist or a dentist than home kits or salons.

10) Finally,  I would love to go on one of those Fit Boot Camps to get my post baby body back in shape. As much as I tell my self beauty is from within, you still have to feel comfortable in your own skin, and with having two kids my thoughts about body isn't great and gets me down at times. Although I am not fat in any way shape of form, I am very conscious of my baby belly and the baby weight I have put on.

The reflection in the mirror.

As I approach my 29th birthday this month, the more I think about how close I am at hitting 30! 30 is an number that just seems like your offically an adult. I mean, in your 20's your still out clubbing, eating junk, looking prime, your figure is still amazing and your feel like you have nothing to fear. Well this is how it feels to me. I suspect some of the issues are from working in a prestigious department store in the beauty hall surrounded by beautiful young girls. Plus having a three year old, seems to put a strain on my blood pressure lol. I look in the mirror at times looking for the first flaws in my skin, those fine lines, uneven skin tones, and of course the issue with my mummy figure doesn't help. Nor the fact that I still feel at time mentally like 25 lol So as I start slapping on the anti- aging serums, creams and thinking about which diets to start to make me feel slim again, I am going to write a list of what I like to achieve by the time I hit 30, My first item on the list is something I never really had to do or interest in doing till I had my little one and that is to get my driving license. 2 is to qualif as a beauty therapist and aromatherapist 3 to go on holiday abroad ( yes I know I have so missed out ) 4 to acheive my ideal weight/figure and be happy with it 5 to enjoy a good pampering in a spa As I try to make a list, and read though how I feel, Did anyone else feel weird about turning the big 30??? Is it really such a big deal or just another number? I know my partner had a problem before he turned 30 1 1/2 year ago, and when he did it was just like any other birthday, just a year older. But why do we feel like this when start to reach this number? Is it the thought of growing old, is cause this is the age or round about the age you remember your parents being once? I guess I will find out in a years time, but until than, I certianly seem to have an issue with the number.
