9 weeks pregnant update

Hi Glammers its Sammie, I can't believe im already 9 weeks preggas It has flown by everything is going by so fast.

Lately I have been feeling so tired I have never felt this tired in my life but I have the most amazing husband who is helping out around the house so I can have time to rest. Its also be hard to sleep and im actually a good sleeper but lately ive just been getting a few hours sleep. I also have this feeling that I need to pee all the time and it is so annoying. Morning sickness and mood swings are out in full force I feel really bad that im putting my hubby through this but at the end we get a beautiful child!

The beautiful baby is now around an inch long from what I have been reading so its growing and lots of body parts are growing and its starting to look more like a human so im really excited.

My kind sister has set up a exercise plan for me. She made it so it is suited to my needs, during this pregnancy my goal is to still stay healthy and to eat well and not let craving get the best of me!

Thats my 9 weeks update I will be sure to update again soon. I hope everyone else is having a good pregnancy so far! Xxx Sammie

My Spring/Summer Must Haves

Hey Glammin Girls its Jess! with spring/summer just around the corner I was talking about my spring and summer must-haves so I thought why not blog about!

Sunnies: When im out in spring or summer you will never see me outside without a pair of sunnies on. Im a massive sunglasses lover last summer I had about 5 different pair. Every girl needs a cute pair of sunnies. I have one pair of expensive sunnies one super cheap but cute pair for the beach and the rest are just average price. Sunglasses also protect your eyes so BONUS and can make an outfit look stunning.

Handbag: Mostly every girl carries around a handbag every day but for summer a must have for me is a bright handbag not a day to day boring black one it can make an outfit look fab!

SPF: Sunscreen for summer is super important even though I dont get burnt easily I still make sure I have sun protection. I have a SPF 15 moisturiser and foundation and also my body moisturiser has SPF 15. We dont want skin cancer do we ladies!

Tan: Im quite lucky I have olive skin but after winter my skin goes a shade or 2 lighter so to kick off spring or summer I have a self tanning lotion that I put on at home, or sometimes I might get a spray tan at a salon. Please dont tan in the sun with out sunscreen on its so bad for you girlies.

Few pairs of shorts: Im such a short lover for summer and spring they look supper cute and you can dress them up. The shorts that will be in my wardrobe are a denim ripped pair or 2,plain black and a few different coloured shorts.

Skirt/dress:
Skirts and dresses for summer are so cute and girly and they are not too hot for the hot summer weather.

Bottle of water: In summer and winter everywhere I go I carry my mount franklin or Pump bottle with me. In summer I think everyone should have a water bottle with them because with the heat your bottle is losing lots of its fluids and you need to restore that fluid.


I love summer its my favourite season ever and its on its way wohooo!! Thanks so much for reading Xx Jessica
