There's no denying it, I'm a cat lady!

Everyone, meet my new baby Bounty <3

This is my 12 week old baby girl. I've had her almost 4 weeks now and she is the cutest most playful ball of fluff I've ever seen! There are no words for how in love I am so just adore the pictures of her and her big sister Crunchie

Teeth whitening

Hiii!

Like most people, I want lovely sparkly white teeth so started looking for ways I could do this at home and not have to pay hundreds at the dentist. I saw several people suggesting the bicarbonate of sofa method...

Basically, you take 1/2 a teaspoon of bicarb and mix it with either lemon juice/water to make a thick paste the same consistency as tooth paste. You literally use the bicarb lemon paste as you would tooth paste and scrub your teeth with your toothbrush! It tastes awful and leaves your mouth a bit grainy but once you wash it out with water, the taste goes and leaves your mouth lovely and clean.

I don't know whether I brush to hard or incorrectly but the day after, my gums are a little sore although that stops after a while. It's not the best thing to do to your teeth as they way the bicarbonate whitens then is to basically slightly sand the very top layer off your teeth. DO NOT do this more then once a week as excessive brushing using this method could damage your teeth!

I've only been doing this for a couple of weeks so cannot see a huge difference yet but I will do a comparison in colour after another couple of weeks usage.

Have any of you tried this whitening method before and if so, did it work for you?!

Lets play house!

So, i've recently moved into a lovely 3 bedroom house - an upgrade from my little flat! But, with more rooms comes the need for more furniture to fill it. The house is a new build so as you can imagine, cream walls, cream carpets, cream everything! For a while now, its just felt like a big blank canvas waiting for some creativity to swarm through it. I don't want to make any quick decisions on the decorating only to change my mind in a couple of months and have to re-do it all. Having lived in the house for the past few months, I think I can now make a better decision on how to make our house a home!

This is the master bedroom - my bedroom. The colour scheme I have gone for is neutral gold and dark purple which brightens up the room really well whilst adding a cosiness. The wallpaper I decided on was on the left (there is a subtle sparkle to it in the flesh!)

Although the living room should be next on the list, the spare room seems to to have cropped to the top. Our lovely bed has just arrived (which was a total bargain) and the rest of the furniture was recycled from the flat. Im going for a simple black and white theme to try and make the room look as big as possible. This is the sort of thing i'm going for. Simple. Plain. Effective.

I've been really into candles since moving as I think they give off a nice warm snuggly vibe. I bought a couple of small fish bowls which I half filled with popery and added a small church candle into the middle of. There position either side of the TV and look lovely lit in the evening. Over christmas, I went to a housey shop and got some grey candles for the bathroom. They look gorgeous on there diamonte mirror plate on the window cill when relaxing in an OTT bubble bath.

I would really love to hear about your decorating experiences and get some inspiration.
