Jesse's Nautical Themed Room

Hey Everyone

I completely forgot I filmed and put this up over the weekend, I had previously filmed some footage but due to it being dar outside the lighting in the room was terrible, so here is what Jesse's room looks like now, he is still co sleeping at the moment so he isnt in there yet but we are looking at moving him over just after he turns 2 which is in a few months.

Most of the items used as I said previously are from Loghan and Gabriel's old theme but I absolutely adorer a nautical theme for a young child's room and we didn't have the money to completely have another theme, Jesse is still young and when he decides or gets to the point where he can choose we will then incorporate a theme of his choosing.

Most of the decor is from Mr Price Home, the bedding included and the lettering came from a small toy store in Seaside Village where I used to work, I am no interior designer but the kids liked it so I am happy.

Essence- Make me Brow gel

Two weeks ago I walked into the Red Square store in Canal Walk and head on into the new Benefit stand as Benefit had literally just been introduced into SA it was quite a large stand dead centre of the store, now I had heard all the hype about the range and have spent some time reading up reviews etc but I just couldn’t bring myself to spend that kind of money on cosmetics no matter how good the product is….. thankfully I am not a beauty blogger because I would never be able to keep up or be able to afford to try out all these new ranges.

Essence- My Skin Intensively Caring Moisturiser

So I have been using LUSH facial products for a while now which I absolutely Love, as mentioned on my vlog however I did find a slight difference between using my favourite facial cleanser Aqua Marina and the soap version which is Fresh Pharmacy, the difference is that I find the soap to be slightly drying which considering I already have dry skin has not been a good thing, which is sad as the soap is cheaper than the cleanser but I will use up the soap and then go back to the tub cleanser in the future.

Over the last few months purchasing our first home has put our budget under a lot of strain and it has forced us to change our budgeting habits (there were none) quite dramatically and the result has not only led to helping us to live a healthier lifestyle and helped me to lose the stubborn baby/comfort weight but it has also decreased our spending grocery wise by over R1000…
