  • I was supposed to clean the house before my folks visited for the little one’s first birthday. The lot of us spent the week sick at home instead. It wasn’t too terrible, just full of mucus and lots of schedule upheaval. Hopefully we’ll all be fully recovered by the coming week before I go back to work.

    Thanks for asking, I really needed to get that out.


  • Keeping water at arms reach is probably what helps the most. But I read a few things when I was pregnant that really helped me with upping my water intake.

    1. Have water at bedside table. When you wake in the middle of the night have a few big gulps before going back to sleep.

    2. Have a drinking vessel with a straw. Something about moving head down or up making drinking difficult, a straw might help.

    And of course, not everyone needs two litres of water a day. Hope it helps!




  • I think it depends on where I’m going. I don’t bother with shampoo/conditioner/body soap as my hair and body skin is very resilient. I also have a tiny tube of travel toothpaste that comes with me sometimes (again, depends on where I’m going).

    My essentials are face wash, a good day and night cream of lotion and sunscreen. Extra luxury carries may include face masks, eye creams, a second face cream and toner. Travel sized is key to everything!
