Being a mum! | Amber Lorraine ♡

Hi dolls! 

Being a mum has been one of the most challenging things I have ever been through in life! 
Having a child really test your patients! But It is the biggest blessing In life! 
Having A newborn to 6 month old is such a joy and very easy! and after that WOW! Its been a hard road!

 Lily is now 9 months old she is the sweetest little devil! She is now crawling and pulling herself up! almost ready to walk! I have to keep an eye on her at all times cause she would rather pick up a little bit of fluff and eat it then play with toys! she is very full on all kids are at this age they get all this energy! She is very alert and switched on! She now says , Dad, Bub, Mum, Nan, Yeah! 
Since January we have a difficult time with her at night, Since 6 weeks old Lily has slept though the night roughly 10 hours! and since January she has been waking up in the middle of the nigh 4 times! It has been very difficult trying to figure out why!!! But I have been told that It's something 8-9 month olds go through! 

Being Pregnant I never thought about these things her being bigger or getting a cold or how I wanted her to grow up! Being a parent is never easy! But I feel super blessed having Jack ( Lily's dad) there by my side is the biggest blessing, I couldn't do it without him! We have our days in our relationship like everyone does who has kids it really test your relationship together coming on 4 years this year we are stronger then ever! The key to staying happy is communicating! and everyone fights! its healthy! 

Taking care of Lily is a full time job! I never really get a spear chance to myself to do the things I enjoy! like my Youtube channel or my Blog! but its all about making the time! Taking a break and having those couple of minutes to yourself! 

No one will ever tell you It's going to be easy! Everyone told me It was going to be hard! but having Lily was the best Choice in life! I feel super blessed!

Meet Lilly Lorraine Manning ♡

Hi Dolls, 
So I have been MIA on my blog as you would all know I was pregnant and expecting my daughter on the 4th of May! Well my due date came and a week later on the 11th of May 2015 at 1:46pm after 13 hours of being induced My Beautiful daughter Lily Lorraine Manning was born at 7poud11oz 50cm long! 
My labor was not what i expected or planned in my head! after a week of being overdue, it was mothers day, I was certain that she was going to come I had a gut feeling! at 12am Monday the 11th of May my waters broke! and I when they broke I noticed they were a green colour I called the hospital and they had a feeling by the description of the water that she had done her first  poo inside the womb (meconium Aspiration) so they had to induce me! It was the worst pain when they put the drip in my hand! After they induced me my period camp contractions went to intense 2 minute apart contractions to where I couldn't sit or stand or move! After 7 hours of no pain relief I decided to get the epidural, while I was waiting for the epidural I was on the gas it was the best thing ever I was drunk but I wasn't but it felt like it! an hour later I got the epidural! and I didn't feel a thing! after it was done I could finally relax and get to sleep! But still worried because I was only 3cm dilated and had already been in labor for 8 hours! So I had the talk with the doctors and they said if I don't dilate in the next 3 hours I will need a caesarean and that was my worst nightmare!! So I could finally sleep and after 2 hours I started getting the bad contractions again and I could feel everything! My epidural wore off and I started getting pushing pains the midwifes told me that I won't need to push I won't need to push I won't be dilated! WELL! they checked me and I was 11cm dilated and her head was close to coming out! so they got me ready to push and 46 minutes of pushing Lily was born! She was so beautiful and looked just like her dad, I couldn't stop crying! she was sucking on her hand and calmed down and just stared at me! It was just beautiful! 
Everything was going great until midnight, and she was vomiting! the nurses ran blood test and found out she had Jaundice and her blood was thick and she was dehydrated! My heart was broken, she had to go into the special care nursery for a week! And it was the hardest week of my life, she progressed after my milk came in and I could properly breastfeed her! 

So Thats my Labor story! I would do it all over again! Just to see her little face again 



Lily is now 2 months old! and she is doing so well! she is started to talk and sit up and grab toys and she sleeps through the night in her own bed! I couldn't ask for a better baby! She is just perfect!!!

29 Weeks Pregnant! WHAT THE?!!! ♡

 Hey Dolls,
It's been a long time since I have sat and written a blog post! But so much has gone on since my last post and if you follow my Youtube videos you will have noticed I haven't made videos in a long time! But if your still following me on Instgram you will know that, I'm Pregnant! I wanted to keep my pregnancy very private until I was comfortable with sharing it!

But now that I'm at the end of my Pregnancy and I ready to redeem my channel back and my followers and start doing what I love again, I thought I would start here!
I'm going to share the last 10 weeks of my pregnancy with you guys! and catch you's up with my pregnancy!

So I'm currently 29 weeks and 3 days! I'm Due on the 4th of May 2015 and I'm having a baby girl!
We have decided to call her "Lily"

The most hardest thing I have been struggling with, would have to be sleep! I wake up about 10 times a night to pee! and not getting enough sleep! I'm still a full-time student studying Diploma of Beauty Therapy! I was ment to be finishing 26th of June but due to my baby girl, I have to take time off and return for 6 weeks to finish my diploma! So i'm very exhausted! But I have had the most easy pregnancy, I have had no complications! I had swollen feet from flying to Queensland around Christmas but besides that, I have been great! It has been the most craziest 7 months being pregnant! But I have enjoyed every moment of it! The one thing you realize being pregnant is who your real friends are! and I definitely did! I made a bunch of new friends that have done nothing but support me and been there for me! I had very bad sickness when I first found out only at nighttime tho! rarely in the mornings! and as soon as I hit 12 weeks it stopped thankgod! 

How Big is my Baby: My Baby girl is the size of a winter squash, 38-42cm and 1150-1700gr! I use the Pregnancy+ App! 

Stretch Marks: I was very lucky with stretch marks until the middle of my second trimester, I only had slight ones of my hips! and I was so fine with them! and then I started noticing them on the tops of my thighs and i cried for like 3 days straightt and then then appeared on my stomach and i cried for weeks! but I have been using some heavy duty stuff to get rid of them or lighten them and it has help heaps! I just got over it and came to the realisation that I'm not one of those lucky pregnant women who have no stretch marks! I thought I wouldn't get any but because my body shape has just changed dramatically there is not alot I can do from having a semi flat stomach to a belly with a growing baby!

Maternity Clothes: I love fashion, I love keeping up with trending clothes! Being Pregnant I thought I would have to start wearing ugly clothes! Until I came across ASOS Maternity! Oh wow, I was in love, I do buy most my maternity clothes off there, I can still get away with some normal clothes from the shops, But my size is different in all different shops and its annoying! But I love Maternity clothes! 

Food Cravings: I have had some weird food craving, but I have come to the conclusion that my cravings are savory foods! I love salt and vinger chips! I dream about them ahaha! 

Movements: I feel her move more then ever now!  Like can see my stomach move when she does, It'
s the best feeling! she is very cheeky tho! Everytime my partner goes to feel her kick she stops and will not move for him, he gets very angry! and she was doing the same for my mum, until I sat next to her for a good 20 minutes with her hands on my stomach until she moved and she did! She must be a mummy's girl! 

What I miss: Oh wow, I miss sleep, I miss being comfortable, Lying on my stomach! and not always running out of breath! but it's all worth it!

What I'm Loving: Definitely loving the feeling of her hiccuping! it's so cute! 

Lifestyle & how it's changed: Well I'm not wanting to go out as much and be out late, I would prefer to be at home going though and sorting though all her clothes and stuff, I always put her first and think of her first which I do not mind she is so worth it! Myself and my personality has not changed I will never change who I am, but I have definitely matured! I see things very differently!

  So this is my big belly at 29 weeks! as you can see the scare above my belly botton it's actually from my belly bar! My belly bar was stopping my belly button popping out! and it was pushing the bar up! and got so infected! and I have this ugly scare! It's fading but it alway's shows up! But when I tell people how far I am they don't believe it they say I'm still really small! No one yet has asked if I'm caring twins

Glamglow SUPERMUD clearing treatment Mask! Review ♡


Hi Dolls,
Today I have a review for you guys! and it's on the Glamglow SUPERMUD clearing treatment mask! 
I have seen this mask going around for ages, I have seen so many reviews and demos! and I really wanted to try it out for myself! So I brought the deluxe sample size to test out before buying the bigger size, to see if my skin liked or not, or if it actually works! So I took photos of each stage of the mask to share with yous my thought my experience with the glamglow mask!
It has a bunch of good ingridentents in the mask to help with acne and breakout to clean and clear you skin 
  • Glycolic Acid - Helps Restore Photo Damaged Skin & Improves Skin Texture.
  • Salicylic Acid - Helps De-clog to Minimize Pores & New Skin Rejuvenation.
  • Lactic Acid - Helps Pigmentation, Moisture, Stimulation & Skin Collagen.
  • Mandelic Acid - Helps Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Aging Skin & Skin Elasticity.
  • Pyruvic Acid - Helps the Effects of Scarring & Clearer Skin.
  • Azelaic Acid - Helps fight Follicle Bacteria & Breakouts.
  • TEAOXI- Delivers Fresh Natural Eucalyptol, Linalool Oil & Powerful Flavonoids.
  • ACTIVATED-X - Xtreme Absorption Vacuum-Carbon Extracts Sebum Oils, Bacteria & Toxins.
  • K-17 CLAY - Proprietary 17 Step Process to Better Encapsulate Sebum Oils, Bacteria & Toxins.
  • LICORICE ROOT - Helps Regulate & Alleviate Problem Skin.
  • PEPPERMINT PLANT - Helps Control Bacteria & Irritations.
  • Eucalyptus Leaf - Helps Fight Toxic Skin Complications.
  • ALOE VERA, CHAMOMILE, MARIGOLD, CUCUMBER, IVY, HERB - Helps Calm, Soothe & Heal.
So does that doesn't excited you and make you want to just lather your skin in such amazing-ness! 


So this is what the mask looks like its a charcoal colour and very thin and liquid like, easy to spread and a very minty fresh scent!

So this is what it looked like straight after I put it on! Apply a Thin Layer to Clean Skin. Leave on for 5 - 20 minutes & Remove with Water. Use as a Full Face Mask or Spot Treatment as often as needed.
As soon as it started to dry, I started to see all these little black dots! don't freak out I freaked out and I searched it! That is all the dirt and oil being sucked out of your pores and out of your skin! I saw this mainly in my T-zone! And It dry's instantly and isn't an uncomfortable feeling  either it feel really nice!





Here is a close up of the mask on my skin! and you can see all the little black dots!
 


The longer the mask wan on the more I noticed the back dots appearing I was feeling a great relief that all that horrible stuff was being sucked out of my skin!



So I left the mask on for 20 minutes and this was just before
I washed it off! it was starting to flake and those little black dots my forehead was covered in them!







This was straight after I washed it off, my skin went a bit red, But that normal for me I have sensitive skin and it always goes red after face masks! I noticed a big difference! My pores were smaller and had shrunk some of my red acne scare had gone down in redness! and the blackheads on my nose had GONE! they had disappeared! I was super impressed with this mask! My skin feel so much better ( 2 days after the mask ) so soft! I really want to try them all

After I washed it off, I toned my skin and moisturized using the Biore Triple Action Toner and the Clinque Dramatically different + mouisture!


All over I love the Mask and defiently will be buying a bigger size! I rate it 10/10 !
I recommend it to people who have acne / breakouts!

Much Love, Amber xx
