10 Things you didn't know about me :)






Thank you so much to Eimear from Chirps from a little red hen for tagging me in "10 things you didn't know about me"! Love these posts, they give my followers a little more insight in to me! :) hope you all enjoy xx



1. What's your favorite room in your house?

Definitely my bedroom. My bed is there!! 


2. What makes a perfect sandwich?

I used to go through phases of eating toasted cheese with BBQ sauce, like I would eat them all the time!!!! Now though I love chicken, mayo and stuffing! Perfect sambo! :)

3. What is your favorite thing to do on a rainy day?

Myself and Lucy just stay in our jammies and have cuddles and watch movies all day or else i'll take some paints out and let her go wild :) Great excuse for arts and crafts! 

4. If you were only able to wear one item of makeup what would it be?

This is really tough!!!! I suppose it would have to be my mascara,  think when you have mascara on it makes you look like you have make up on.... or maybe that's just me being lazy haha! the mascara i'm using at the moment is the Sonya Flawless range, Volumising mascara :) LOVE IT!!! <3




5. Camping? Glamping? Self-Catering? Hotel? What would your choice be on a holiday?

If I had a choice hotel definitely, ya can;t beat a nice comfy bed, nice shower and having your food handed to you :) Saying that I would love to go glamping too! Never been before and it looks fun :) 

6. What are your favorite flowers?

I love lilies, but I hate how they can stain your clothes. I also love roses, sunflowers and daffodils. 


7. If you won a lotto of €1 Million what would be the first thing you would do?

I'd make sure my family got some, then I would buy a villa in Spain and live there for a while! :) oh and buy shares in Penneys :) 

8. Whats your favorite thing to do in Summer? 

Before I had Lucy it would have been sitting in a beer garden but now it's having family days out going to the playground or where-ever and eating ice-cream. My God how my life has changed for the better :) <3



9. Whats your favourite thing to do to relax?

Definitely just sit up with my boo and baby girl and watch a movie, or time on my own I love to stick on my fave music and play with make up and do facemasks and do my nails oh and light candles. Or else lay on my bed and listen to meditation music! so nice!! 



10. Your perfect breakfast?

This is in a perfect world where calories don't count but definitely Frank n Benny's pancakes with maple streaky rashers and maple sauce! They were by far the nicest pankcakes I have ever had in my life.... And of course there's no Frankie and Benny's in Ireland!!!!

Review: Karora Ultra Dark Tanning Mousse






Hey everyone :D Welcome back to my page. Sorry for the lack of activity on this page lately.. What is with the time going by so fast?? Sometime I wish I had a pause button!! So London was amazing, if you follow any of my social media your time lines may have been swamped with lots of selfies etc.. so apologies about that :P but it was such a good break. Ed Sheeran is just unbelievable!!! Love him even more now!!!!

So before I go completely off track I am here today reviewing the Karora Ultra dark tanning mousse which I was so lucky to receive in the post a couple of weeks ago. 
I was very excited about trying this as I have heard nothing but good things about this tan brand and I can totally understand it now!! 

This tan contains centipeda cunninghamii, Guarara, Green tea, Aloe and Acai Berry, these instantly condition and renew the skin, while a sumptuous blend of rosemary leaf, argan, lemon and grapefruit essential oils leave the skin deeply moisturized and delicately scented. 

 So in preparation for this tan I ensured I exfoliated and moisturized  daily coming up to using it so I would get the best results, and I did :) So the mousse is a kind of grey/brown colour, however you can't really see it going on so its hard to judge if you got everywhere, that probably would have been my only down fall with this, however to my surprise it applied so evenly and a nice natural tan appeared. It takes about 8 hours to come up so my advice would be do it before you go to bed so you can wake up nicely tanned :D I was a little apprehensive as to how dark it was going to turn out so I just put one layer on and that was more than enough :) 



It smells good and with it being a mousse it allows streak free application. I used the Karora tanning mitt to apply which is the best mitt I have ever used. It is so soft and applies the tan so evenly. It feels so luxurious using it :D I also love the packaging of Karoa products. The purple bottles are so eye catching and pretty. 



So the tan lasted for a good 4-5 days and has faded really nicely with no patches or anything, which is a huge plus as there is nothing worse than going around like patch Adams!!! So overall I was very happy with this tan. I would definitely use it again and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a natural day and night tan. It also didn't rub off on any of my clothes either :) So big thumbs up from me!! 





Karora tan 150 ml can be purchased for €29.99 from Llyods, Sam Mc Cauleys, Cara pharmacies , McCabes pharmacies and Independent pharmacies and  beauty salons nationwide. Also you can purchase online HERE

Thank you all for reading 
Until next time 

Lots of Love
