Neon
Went to a new hairdresser today, very happy with the results! It's actually the same salon that did my wedding hair, not sure why I ever changed to begin with?

Ally Fashion
Ally is one of those shops that I could not bring myself to walk into. Aimed at a much younger demographic I never thought I would ever buy anything from there. But recently my local store has had a makeover. At first I didn't realise it was still an Ally store so I went in. I was pleasantly surprised at the range and the prices! So many on trend fashion items at affordable prices. Sure they still have a fair bit of hideous clubbing clothes lol but if you have a good look around your are bound to find a diamond in the rough!
Both of these were out of stock at my local store but the online store has free shipping yay! Shipping can take up to 14 days but hopefully will be a bit quicker than that! Anyone else dare to buy from Ally Fashion?

Workout Wear
So I've just found out that Michelle Bridges has brought out a line of active wear for Big W. I can't find any photos of the range online but it is supposed to be in stores already. Has anyone bought or tried anything on and can share their thoughts? I'm hoping the quality is good because I try to buy a few nice pieces for exercising to make myself feel nice and confident while sweating it out at the gym! But the prices are so ridiculous on some brands, I tend to buy from online stores in the US and UK and even with postage it works out much cheaper.
While pregnant my feet swelled and I no longer fit into most of my shoes which is a tragedy as I'm a total shoe girl! I was hoping they would be back to normal by now but they aren't and apparently it is very common to go up a shoe size while pregnant and never go back down again! So now my runners don't fit and I had to get a new pair. I decided to get the same ones as I already had but the newer version.
Very light and comfy to run in, looking forward to getting back into it!
Also bought these for the little mister, so adorable!

12WBT - Round 3
Well so much for being back to regular blogging! I'm finding it very tricky to get 5 minutes to myself with a baby and a toddler, will try to post as often as possible though when I get time!
Thank you all so so much for all the congratulations! Bub is almost 8 weeks old already, smiling and cooing and just being adorable like all babies are! Night times have been very hard, he is really unsettled and we seem to think it is reflux but haven't asked the doctor about it yet, he has all the symptoms so we are doing everything we can to keep his little tummy from upsetting him too much.
Almost everyone I have spoken to is adamant that breastfeeding will really help to drop the baby weight, but I'm 8 weeks in and still 15 kilos over my start weight!! I haven't shifted any since I came home from hospital. So now I'm actively doing something about it. I've joined the 12 Week Body Transformation! I never thought I would join anything like this because I have always been pretty good with cooking healthy meals but I really like the idea of the meal planning and shopping lists being done for you as it saves a lot of time! I also want to get back into running and am about to join the gym again. I was planning on joining yesterday but I woke up with Mastitis! If you don't know what that is then I won't bore you with the details and if you do then you will sympathise with me! But I need a little guidance with weights to get stronger and it is certainly much cheaper than a personal trainer! I am very excited to start! Anyone else doing it this round? Or have results to share? My goal is to drop the 15kg but more importantly get stronger and fitter for chasing my boys around!
I've had to buy a few new things to wear as I still don't fit into any of my clothes. It's my way of trying to make myself feel confident with the extra weight on, I think if I make an effort to look nice instead of hiding out then it will boost my confidence. Will have to try and remember to take photos of my purchases after my hiatus, these all text posts are boring!!
