Self care with Estrid razors #AdGifted

Being a Mum I don't have a lot of time for self care but when I do make time I make sure I go all out, face mask, bath bomb and freshly shaved legs too. It really does make you feel like a new person and can take your cares away even for a little while.

I was recently reached out to by Estrid who create vegan friendly, reusable razors designed for both men and women that come in 5 different colours. The razor blades can come through a subscription basis for the blades which you can customize to your preferences.

I took an evening to myself to relax and feel more human, I ran myself a bath and used a bath bomb too, had a face mask and shaved my legs using the Estrid razor. I then just chilled for the next half an hour just listening to music and occasionally flicking through Instagram.

I am personally made up with this razor and was so impressed with how it left my legs feeling, the coating on the outside of the blades lets the razor glide along the skin and my legs were left feeling soft and smooth with ease. The softness also seems to last longer between shaving, which certainly makes you feel a little nicer.

I don't think I will ever go back to disposable razors and am so glad that I was reached out by them, it has changed my opinion on these subscription companies and am happy to stick with Estrid from now on. If you want to go and check them out please click the link below.

My mental health

I don't really know why I am writing this but it may help me or someone else in the future, today I am low, very low, I feel very stuck in a rubbish situation and don't see it ever getting better. At the moment money is tight, very tight and it really is getting me down, I feel like I am letting everyone down. I want to be the best person I can be and the best Mum possible to my girls, I want to be able to provide a good life for them and don't want them to even know that we are ever struggling. I suffer from anxiety but this doesn't feel anything like that, this feels like a have got a weight in my heart, one that feels painful too, its like a constant sinking feeling that drains me too. I am tired and emotional and just had enough and I really don't know what to do or how to even take the next step. I really hope that one day soon we don't have to worry so much, that we can live a little more comfortable and that life gives us some luck as the pas

Cottage pie recipe

I have recently started making my own Cottage pie with a recipe that I have tweeted to work four our fussy family. I find that a cottage pie is such an Autumn/Winter staple as it feeling like such a warm, hearty meal, one that is a proper comfort meal. I recently started making the meal and found that I didn't have a packet mix in so decided to find a recipe to try out, the first one I found sounded good but I changed it slightly to fit our family, Lils isn't keen on fresh onion ad none of us like celery. I thought I would share our recipe with you which can easily be adapted if need be. Recipe 500g Beef Mince 1 carton of tomato passata 1 tbs tomato paste 1 beef stock cube 1 beef stock pot 1 tsp onion salt 1 tsp garlic granules 1 tsp mixed herbs 2 medium carrots sliced and part cooked Salt and pepper 3 large potatoes for mash 75g cheese Method 1. Preheat you oven to gas mark 4/180oC 2. Brown off the mince and drain off excess oil from the pan. 3. Pour in the passa
