Boss Day

Today was the day I finally grew the courage to go and tell my bosses that Im 12 and half weeks pregnant.
I got a little teary as I was telling my main boss as I feared that reaction that would come but they both handled it well and I was very surprised.
They amazed me with the good words.
Now it's time to think of when I want to go on maternity leave and how long ill have off.
What have you all had off and do you think it was adequate enough time?

My food intake is still a bit weird. I feel like I'm going backwards with the sick feeling and eating :(
Does anyone have good pregnancy food tip or good pregnancy meals?
Tonight for dinner was some potato chips and that's really not good at all.

My belly is actually starting to pop out and those who know have made some comments also so I definitely was in need of telling my bosses about my pregnancy.

12 weeks

Saturday the 23/2/2013 marked 12 weeks for us.
I'm hoping I start to feel better soon. I can already feel a little bit of a difference with me being able to stomach food for dinner now but I feel as if the mornings have gotten worse. I can only have 1 piece of toast just to line my stomach and ensure I don't vomit. I still dry reach quite a bit and that really drives me insane.

The people that know about our pregnancy have been asking me why I haven't had the 12 week scan done - but I think regardless of the how bubs is it won't change a thing for us.
If we have been given a child whose mentally challenged or physically challenged it was meant to be that we could look after that child and we would love them no less.
I think that if I found out now that our child had something wrong with them if would make me upset and maybe depressed for the rest of the pregnancy as I would be questioning myself as to what went wrong.
What are your opinions on the 12 week tests and scan?

6am sickness

Exactly as this blog title says... this was this morning for me :(

I had nothing at all in my stomach - no breakfast yet and the vomiting came on out of no where. 
Sorry if you are queezy on the stomach but it was this solid yellowy orange color fluid that came up. 
I googled this and people say its normal for on an empty stomach as the acid is coming up... may I say that was one of the most horrible vomits to record.
The taste left in my mouth was just disgusting!

Daniel was to the hero as always rubbing my back and holding my hair back. 
He was such a sweetheart and disappeared whilst I was getting ready for work and he came back with toast for me.
Such a cutie!! Very blessed to have someone who looks after me this much. <3

Have an awesome Friday all :) 

Love

Maybelline Baby Lips Lip Balm Smoothing Cherry and Relieving Menthol



I am never really a person to go outside of using paw paw or lip conditioner stuff but I thought I would give these little things a try.

The first one I brought was when they had them on special so I thought why not it's a very small amount to pay. The first one I brought was from Chemist Warehouse which was the Maybelline Baby Lips  Relieving Menthol (green and blue colored tube)- it's an amazing fresh feel on your lips and smells exactly to what its flavor is.
It's very light weight and leaves a gloss look to your lips.

The second one I brought was the Maybelline Baby Lips Smoothing Cherry (peach and lime colored tube).
I brought this one at full price as I adored my other one so much from Target.
I am not too keen on the smell of this one though. Although I must admit cherry is a hard scent to conquer as I haven't experienced many other cherry products to be close enough to the real thing.
This one is also light weight and gives as advertised a smooth feeling on the lips when you rub them together.

I am still completing my collection and am yet to try the rest of the range they have out in Maybelline Baby Lips which is the Energizing Orange & Anti-Oxidant Berry.
I do believe if you are living over in US that you are getting a huge range of flavors that I am very envious of hehee.
This one I got from Target. 



I recommend this product to anyone who has lips that need treating.
The perks of this product as listed on the Maybelline website are:
● Protects and moisturizes lips for a full 8 hours
● Lips are more moisturized, smoother, more supple and firmer in just 4 weeks.

 My partner Daniel will even wear this occasionally when he has chapped lips - but shhh don't tell anyone I said that. He would probably kill me for telling you all.
Below is a picture of Daniel & I who both applied the Baby Lips.


Both of these come in a wind up tube and retail at a price of $4.99 each.

Matrix: Total Results Sleek Lisse Iron Smoother & Silk Wonder Hair Care


Matrix have to be hands down one of the best smelling brands out.
Prior to straightening my hair or any styling I will pop these products into my hair.
They just smell unreal - I can't even describe the smell to you, you'll just need to check them out. All I can say is it's a clean and refreshing sort of smell.

Matrix Iron Smoother is something I spray into the section of my hair that I am going to straighten and then brush it throughout.
Matrix state on the bottle that it protects against heat damage of up to 204c as well as the humidity. Being ideal for unruly, medium to coarse hair.

 


Matrix's Iron Smoother key ingredients are as taken from their website:
Silk amino acids help strengthen hair with the building blocks of proteins.   
Dual Styling Polymers provide strong control and hold for smooth definition.  
Silicone adds glossy shine and slip for easy flat-ironing glide.


If you are a person who straightens your hair regularly this will be an awesome product to take care of your hair preventing heat damage that will possibly leave you with split ends.

I picked my Matrix Iron Smoother up from Hairhouse Warehouse for around $20.
You will also come across some Hair Salons which will also stock this product.



Matrix Silk Wonder is a huge favorite!! This little bottle of silk smoothing oil works wonders!
I use this after straightening or styling my hair just to get those fly away pieces down (smoothing) and even just to add a beautiful smell to my hair. I put a little drizzle on a finger tip and then rub it onto my other finger tips and then run them throughout my hair mainly on the bottom parts of your hair.

It is a very lightweighted oil treatment but when you bring the oil out and onto your fingers it is an oil product so be cautious it may run away if you are not quick with it. It appears in this orangey color. It absorbs quickly into your hair and leaves no residue.
I've used this both on wet and dry hair and had the same results.



Matrix's Silk Wonder key ingredients are as advised on their website:
Shea Butter moisturizes from root to tip to give hair silky luster.                                                                                                                     
Olive Oil penetrates evenly from root to tip to soften, smooth and condition hair.


I also got my Matrix Silk Wonder from Hairhouse Warehouse and this cost around $25.
