Darcy Does My Makeup

Aloha Sprinklerinos, 

How are your day's going? Mine is going well but I'm sooooo sleepy. I'm battling the urge to nap on my laptop!

Earlier this week I uploaded one of my most requested videos, 'Baby Glitter Does My Makeup'. It was an absolute hoot to film. Have you ever let a 4 year old loose with a whole load of colourful makeup and glitter? You should. Just to say you've experienced it!!

Darcy really enjoyed the opportunity to make Mummy's face 'beautiful' and be in front of the camera- she's such a little ham. 

I definitely need to make more fun videos like this. Sometimes you can fall into the trap of trying to make serious or information-y content but this just-for-the-jollies piece was so worth the time and mess! I love hearing her little voice and all the strange little things she said as she was creating.

If you have a spare 5 minutes, please do go over and check the video out, it's suuuuuuper cute!!! You can watch it HERE or I have embedded it below (fingers crossed technology favours me!!)

Toodlepip!

Darcy at the Salon

Aloha Sprinklerinos, 

Did you all have lovely weekends? I spent mine in London hosting a meet & greet with Simply Be to celebrate my new #GlitterClothes range and taking zillions of smiling selfies with some of you lovely ladies (and a couple of men too!) and at home, catching up on Game of Thrones and eating yummy food. Basically the perfect weekend!

Darcy is with me the next few days (Matt and I share her 50/50) and we have a lot of fun things planned.

I've started taking a lot more snaps when I'm out and about and whilst Darcy is on her Easter holidays, life is a lot more fun. Oooeee, I can't wait for the Summer holidays now! They'll be here so quickly!!

This kiddo wants always to have things in her hands. Even when we go swimming she takes toys. Busy little thing.  

Very careful brushing. 

Last week I had an appointment at the salon and Darcy's love for blow drying continued to grow! She really likes coming with me. All the girls make such a fuss of her, they have a little stair case with a platform on that she pretends is a stage, she 'helps' do my hair and draws a lot of pictures for everyone there. She's such a treasure. 

Blow dryers to Darcy, are the MOST fun. 

I know this is blurry but I just love her sweet expression. 

Obviously the best things are special trips, playdates and days out but we also try to make every day activities fun too. These are precious days whilst she's small and so I want to cherish as many moments as possible. 

Life feels so sweet right now. Darcy is a joy, I feel creative and motivated to work and I feel stable. I am so grateful. 

I'm going to try and blog a little more this week, perhaps the photos from her party so do be sure to check back or follow me on twitter/facebook for updates. 

Have a great week Glitterbugs!

Toodlepip!

Spring Cleaning Rewards

Aloha Sprinklerinos, 

This is a paid for advertorial. 

It's been a while since I posted my videos on here but now that I'm dipping my toe back into blogging I thought it might be fun to share a few, I hope you agree!

Luxuriating in a squeaky clean bath is heavenly!

With the sun shining a bit more and the sound of birds tweeting, we can all be thrilled that it's Spring and time for floaty skirts and denim jackets- hurrah!! One thing I try to do at this time of year is give my house a bit of a spruce up, organise my mess treasured possessions and spring clean. When the people behind the #DanceAsYouClean Campaign contacted me and asked if I'd like to let you all know about their competition, I thought it would be so fun! You can check out the website to see how you can win music themed prizes to help you dance as you clean!

I'm not naturally tidy but on a cleaning day I love to blast out my music, pump up the volume and dance my way through the dirt grease and grime. I find having great products helps too and in this video I featured and loved Fairy, Febreze, Flash and Viakal. With a bit of music and products that work beautifully, you'll be luxuriating in your gorgeous sparkly house in no time!! 

A little close up of the goodies that made my house so sparkly!

My absolute favourite thing to do is quieten everything, turn my phone on silent, step into my shiny clean bathroom and have a well deserved soak in the bath. There is something very satisfying about rewarding your spring cleaning efforts with a bit of pampering! I recently had my bathroom renovated so I love taking care of it and enjoying feeling like I have a mini spare next to my bedroom. 

Will you be Spring cleaning this year? What do you do to make it more fun? 

Toodlepip!
