Easter holidays

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely Easter break whatever you were doing.

Last Monday we took a trip with the kiddies, first to Newcastle to see my husbands brother and sister-in-law then to Norfolk to see my sister and brother-in-law. I really thought that we would have a horrific drive because from where we live Newcastle is about 360 (ish) miles away, with 3 kids.!! Actually it was quite a nice drive hit nearly no traffic and the kids were pretty laid back thank goodness.
We didn't do very much as we were at the end of the pay month so we were running on fumes, but just to relax with family was enough.
My children haven't spent very much time with their children so it was nice for them all to spend some time together although mine thought they have a funny accent and they thought we have a funny accent. Trying to expain to a 6 year old boy that all over the country there are many different accents was a long drawn out process and I'm still not sure he gets it but we tried :)
We took the kids for a long walk over the woods. And (I blame this on Asda) we consumed about a months worth of vodka in 3 nights. Adults only obviously.
In Norfolk we went for a little walk around fakenham, had a big breckie at a wetherspoons and just generally chilled some more. It was amazingly relaxing and great to catch up with my little sister.

I discovered its hard to pack Skincare and makeup for a week away, makeup because I don't really have 'a look' that I go for every time, I just throw on what I fancy so I took my small maybeline goldy pallette, bare minerals, blush, concealer and mascara. For Skincare I realised my staple essentials are many. Cleansing balm, day moisturiser and primer, night moisturiser and serum, eye cream, shower gel, shampoo, conditioner, body cream, I barley had room for clothes. Note to self invest in minis of everything or get some more travel containers. Still beauty has it's price and oversized luggage is it :)

The drive home was quick and I was glad to get the kids back to school when we got home, they however were not as keen. Then I was slammed with a whole week of back to back work. This is a good thing in terms of business but it means I have not been on top of my blogging so will probably post at least 3 times next week.

I have the full review of my beau bronze tanning experience, and I brought some new hair products and make up so some more first impressions, and maybe a confession of a hair products junkie.

Lots of love
