Hi Guys! This post should have been up a long time ago, but, as some of you may know I was in the process of moving as well as decorating and preparing for a new baby so I really had no time for anything! Or that's what it felt like anyway.. BUT I am now here and I have this box (box 5) as well as the next box to review for you guys! Anyway, I'm just gonna jump straight into the products I got before get off subject too much!

PG Tips Teas

This is a new range of PG Tips Teas and Project B subscribers were some of the first to be able to try these teas which is amazing! It always feel 'cool' being able to try things out before everyone else, ha ha. Saying that, I still haven't tried these so I will have to update you on what I think of these soon.

Laboraide

I saw this and I was kind of like ''err, what's this?''.. But it has now made it's way into my maternity bag! It's basically just little things that you put in your mouth when you're in labour, bite down, and it's meant to help reduce the pain as well as duration of labour. I'm willing to give anything a try when I'm in pain (which is gonna be pretty soon, eek!) so this was definitely a cool product! Ooh, and I forgot to mention, it's worth £19.99. When you pay £14 for a box and receive a product which is more expensive than the box itself.. that's when you know you found an amazing box AND you're getting your money's worth of stuff!

Benecos Happy Nails Nail Polish

I'm still undecided on this one. I'm going to be perfectly honest.. the consistency of this stuff is horrible and it's really hard to get it to sit on your nails smoothly.. BUT, the nail polish itself is such a beautiful colour and once it's on it's very long lasting! I would say it's more long lasting than some of my higher end brands. Like I said, it's a bit tricky to apply but once it's on your nails, it's beautiful and long-lasting!

Montezuma's Organic Mini Me Chocolate Bars

I always get excited for trying different chocolate, ha ha! 
Oh.. my.. god.. These were amazing! And, of course, Graeme had to help me eat it too, ha ha! 
These are organic, which is great because I'll feel less guilty when my son eats it. I also just checked out their website and they're not expensive and have some really great gifts for chocolate lovers!

Pukka Tea

I like how you can smell these through the packaging. It's like they're screaming 'DRINK MEEEE!', ha ha. I tried the Three Mint tea this morning and it was delicious. They're easy to buy as you can get them in supermarkets and I also love that they come with that bit of string and label (?) which makes it easier to brew. And it looks fancy, ha ha.
Please do be careful drinking mint tea if you're breastfeeding though as it can reduce your milk supply.

Benecos Lip Gloss

The lip gloss smells lovely and the consistency is nice too. It doesn't last on your lips for a very long time at all and it doesn't have much colour to it at all. But it smells delicious!

Perineum Massage Oil, Weleda

The leaflet states that this oil is great for preparing for labour and birth and it is recommended that you start using it in your 34th week. I still haven't used this so I can't comment on it, although it does smell quite nice.

Okay.. You're going to laugh at me. The oil is called Perineum Massage Oil. I thought Perineum was a flower and the name was just describing the scent of the oil but no.. I just googled perineum, ha ha. Now I feel so silly because in my YouTube video I said that I'll let Graeme massage it onto me. I did not realise this wasn't just an ordinary massage oil. Oh dear.. I feel so silly, ha ha!

Floradix Liquid Iron Formula

I had this before and didn't use it and I probably won't use it this time. It's meant to be great for giving you a boost of energy but I'm already on Iron supplements and to be quite honest I can't imagine drinking this stuff. I can imagine it wouldn't taste very nice, but it's a great thing to add to a box, especially if you're always feeling tired like I used to.

Femfresh Individual Wipes

I haven't tried these but I think they're a great idea and I have now put them in my maternity bag.

That's it for this box guys! Overall, I think the box is great value for your money. I have enjoyed a lot of the products in this box and will probably be repurchasing the chocolate, ha ha. I really enjoyed the Pukka teas, which I might repurchase too and two of the products (Laboraide & Femfresh Wipes) have now made it to my maternity bag. I am really happy with this box and would definitely recommend it to all the pregnant ladies out there!

Hi Guys!
It's taken me a while to write this post but better late than never, ha ha. This is just a list of stuff that I have packed and I hope that some of you might find it useful or inspiring. The stuff I packed obviously work for me but might not work for others. Some may think I'm overpacked whilst others will think I didn't pack enough, he he.

I packed two bags. For the baby's stuff I just used a white, leather pram bag. It's big enough to fit all the stuff I needed. I just packed all the clothes and stuff in there and then packed the blankets and nappies in the second bag.

So here's what I packed for the baby:

*3 blankets
I decided to pack three simply because I couldn't decide which ones to take. I think the hospital I'm going to provides them whilst you're in hospital but I thought I would take 2 cellular blankets just in case and also a nice, soft, snuggly blanket which I can use for the car seat, etc.

*sleepsuits (3x up to three months & 2x newborn)
I don't actually know what size the baby will be and also I don't trust the sizes of baby stuff, especially when made by different manufacturers so I thought it would make sense to pack a few different sizes.

*5 bibs
Because you can never have too many bibs.

*comfort blanket
That's obviously not a necessity but it's cute, ha ha.

*4 hats
To keep his little head warm. Once again he probably won't need all four but I couldn't decide which one I wanted him to wear and it all depends on what outfit he ends up wearing home.

*5 scratch mittens
Their little nails are razor sharp. Literally.

*2 cardigans
I packed a white one and a blue one and they go with almost any outfit.

*5x newborn vests
You need vests :)

*3x baby set (tiny baby, newborn & 0-3m)
Again, I don't know the size the baby will be so I just packed my favourite sets in three sizes.

*4 pairs of socks
He probably won't need that many socks but hey.. socks always go missing!

*knitted booties
I don't want to use shoes for the first three months, hopefully. I think the little knitted booties look cute, they're soft just like socks but they can also really bring an outfit together.

*nappies
The hospital might provide nappies but I'd rather just go with the ones we're using instead of using the hospital ones then going home and using different ones which can cause irritation.

*wipes
The midwives do advise that you just use cotton wool and warm water for the first few days, which is okay, I will probably do that for like two days but wipes are handy for wiping sickness. In fact, baby wipes are good for everything, ha ha.

*nappy bags/sacks
Nappies smell. Hospital bins will end up smelly. Your room will smell. Just pack some, ha ha.

For the second bag I just used one of those sports bags. I packed mine and Graeme's stuff in there as well as the babies nappies, wipes, etc.

For Graeme:
-deodorant
-shower gel
-swimming shorts
-plastic bag/s
-socks
-boxers
-trackies/trousers
-t-shirt
-jumper

For Myself:
-pen and paper
-pillow
-thank you card and chocolates
-water bottle
-travel size toiletries
-birthing and baby plan
-toothbrushes and toothpaste
-deodorant
-phone charger
-2 pairs of leggings
-pyjamas
-two comfortable t-shirts
-comfortable short
-2 vest tops
-2 jumpers
-cardigan
-bikini
-4 pairs of socks
-old pants
-dressing gown
-breast pads

So that's it really. If you have any tips or if you want to share what you packed and ended up using/not using, please do comment below, I find those really interesting! :)

Here's the video of what I packed too:




Loads of love from me to You,

I haven't posted in such a long time! I thought I would write this pregnancy update since I haven't done one since my 28 week one;

How far along?: 37 weeks today!
Total weight gain: I haven't got a clue, I can't remember the last time I actually checked my weight, ha ha!
Maternity clothes?: No but a lot of stuff doesn't fit me anymore. Thankfully I only have around three weeks left so there's no point in buying maternity clothing.
Stretch marks?: I think I might have a few extra on my bum but hopefully they'll go away the way the last ones did. 
    Sleep: Sleeping was hard for me for a while but now that I figured out all the comfortable positions I sleep a lot better. The only thing I wake up for during the night is a trip to the toilet :)
Best moment this week: Today! It was my baby shower today and it was amazing. You can check that out in my video!
Miss anything?: I don't think so?
Food cravings: Depends on the day really..
Anything making you queasy or sick? No
Gender: Definitely still a boy.
Labour signs: I really wish :( I had bad pains on Thursday and thought I was going into labour but it turned out that I was just constipated (tmi, i know, sorry!).
Symptoms: I've been having a lot of heartburn, gassy (ha ha).. I can't really think right now..
Belly button in or out? It's levelled with my belly :) You'll know what I mean if you have seen my recent pregnancy update videos. It's not in but it's not out either.
Wedding rings on or off: My partner and I are happier than ever but no wedding rings, ha ha. Maybe one day :P
Happy or moody most of the time: I'm generally a happy person anyway but I do get very hormonal at times to the point where the slightest things annoy me but it passes quickly and then I'm fine again.
Looking forward to: Our baby boy arriving any time now! <3
