Category: Lifestyle

Lifestyle is my most broad category covering a wide range of topics across our everyday lives. Home, garden, DIY, beauty, fitness, health and so on, this is the place to find a variety of tips, first-hand experience and ideas. 

I felt that it was important to cover all of these on my blog as parenting can go deeper than just those typical how to parent type posts and our well-being as parents is just as valuable. Giving an insight into what I struggle with, what I get up to, what I find helps and honest product reviews will all help you through your own parenting journey too… I hope!

What You Should and Shouldn’t Do After Getting Botox

Posted on by Emma Reed
*Collaborative Post

Botox has become a popular cosmetic procedure for reducing the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines. After receiving Botox injections, proper aftercare is crucial for achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects.
