LIFE // AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR HUSBANDS

LIFE // AN OPEN LETTER TO OUR HUSBANDS

It’s Mothers Day next week (like you didn’t know) and we’ve had so many emails asking if we’re putting together a Mothers Day gift guide. Hell no! We’re not ‘gift guide’ kind of girls; we hate reading them (we have never, ever...

BEAUTY // GET THE GLOW

BEAUTY // GET THE GLOW

HI, it’s Gemma! Yep, I know beauty is Sam’s domain but I’m taking it over for one week (special treat, ha!) because since I’ve met Sam I have turned from a beauty novice (I owned 5 beauty products) into someone who owns a radiance boosting...

FASHION // PRACTICAL AND FASHIONABLE SHOES

FASHION // PRACTICAL AND FASHIONABLE SHOES

We live in these shoes. You may have noticed. They go with pretty much every single outfit, they are so comfy, plus they will never go out of fashion. Athleisure (yup, thats a real word. It means athletic looking leisure-wear; casual, comfortable clothing designed to...

LIFE // 5 UNDER 5

Sometimes you read something and it really makes you LOL and you just have to send the link to your friends. That what happened a few weeks ago when Sam sent this to Gemma. And because we’re all friends here, and we all need a Friday LOL, we’re sharing it...

BEAUTY // BROW HACKS FOR BUSY MUMS

We get a lot of comments on our brows and yeah, we have to admit it, our brow game is kinda strong. But we had good brow mentors; both of our mama’s taught us when we were young to never over-pluck – and aside from a couple of minor incidents at...

FASHION // THE INVESTMENT BAG

FASHION // THE INVESTMENT BAG

As we get older, we begin to appreciate the finer things in life. Not in a spoilt brat way, more in an investment piece way. In the years BC (before children) we used to waste our hard earned wages on weekly shops at ASOS and monthly visits to Primark to buy multiples...

LIFE // THE WORKING MUM JUGGLE

Being a working mum is hard. Scratch that, being any kind of mum is hard. Over Christmas (geez, how long ago does that feel!) we received an email from one of your lovely readers that made us cry. It was from a fellow mum who was struggling to handle going back to...

FASHION // LEOPARD HEELS

FASHION // LEOPARD HEELS

Last week we held an event at the Bobbi Brown boutique in Covent Garden and we decided to go wild and wear heels. It was probably the first time in months that we had both put heels on and we turned up in a really similar pair. I used to honestly wear heels every day...

LIFE // OUR SLEEP STORIES

LIFE // OUR SLEEP STORIES

Oh, sleep. How we miss you. We obviously realised that babies meant sleepless nights but we had NO idea just how little sleep those first few weeks would bring, or that we would never have our full sleep quota ever again (we’re nearly two years in!) When...

FASHION // THE BASIC COLOUR ESSENTIALS

FASHION // THE BASIC COLOUR ESSENTIALS

Hey mamas! Today we’re featuring something that we both wear all the time: Black, white and grey. This colour palette (or non-colour palette perhaps…) makes up 80% of our wardrobes. It’s our go-to option when we wake up late (hahahaha as if that ever...

BEAUTY // OUR SPEEDY HAIR HACK

Oh, dry shampoo. You are the saviour to tired, rushed women everywhere. A new-mum essential that we continue to use well into the working-mum stage because, WHO HAS THE TIME?! But here’s the thing: dry shampoo isn’t that straightforward to use. They don’t...

FASHION // PYJAMA PARTY

FASHION // PYJAMA PARTY

Let’s not even try and kid ourselves that we’re going to be dressing up in sexy PJ’s for Valentines Day tomorrow. They would either need to be dry cleaned (real silk PJ’s + kids breakfast time) or would involve you having a wax. Hands up who...

LIFE // THE KID-FRIENDLY DENTIST

LIFE // THE KID-FRIENDLY DENTIST

When should you first take your kids to the dentist? Well, ours are 18 and 21 months and we took them for the first time a couple of weeks ago. It’s hard enough to get a tooth brush in their mouths so in all honesty, we were trying to put it off for as long as...
