Date Night… with two little kids, and family nearby, I frankly cannot remember the last time hubby and I had a date night. Well, actually, I can… it was the night before our now 5.5 year old was born!! Hopefully not everyone is in the same situation… and to help a girl out, and just in time for Valentines Day, Bellabox has now launched a limited edition Date Night box in partnership with makeup artist Sharon Farrell. And the bumper of a beauty box has a value of a whopping $230, yet it can be yours for just $59.95.  Sharon Farrell is a professional makeup artist and Founder of The Online Makeup School. With over a decade of experience as a pro makeup artist, she shares insider makeup and beauty tips with followers from around the world through her YouTube channel and online makeup courses. As a new mum, she has perfected the 5 minute makeup look and loves to share her shortcuts to looking and feeling fabulous. The Bellabox Date Night box contains all the things a girl needs to create

Just two more weeks to go now and school is back. And at our house, there’s excitement this year for our 5 year old who is starting prep. And along with the school uniform, it wouldn’t be a school start without a trip to Smiggle, which as always is loaded with super cool stuff the kids will love.  Some of our picks include the following; Smiggle Faves Utility Pencil Case , which is a super cool and functional pencil case, which comes with a silicone badge with a space ship, which also serves to close the pencil case. It has lots of space to store everything, including two zipped compartments, as well as side panels with elastic to hold various pens.  Smiggle Faves Drink Up Straight Water Bottle , which is a BPA free bottle with a flip top sprout that makes it easy to quench the thirst quickly. It holds 650ml, so a good size for the school, and the bottle, made from titan, has the cool faves design printed on it, so that it matches the pencil case. Smiggle Faves Slapband , is the cooles
