I have always loved lingerie. I have always preferred buying less, but quality products that last longer, and the same applies to my lingerie. You can simply tell as the fit is just so much better. And there is just something about wearing a set of pretty lingerie.  With two little kids, I am rarely on my own, and shopping for lingerie, is no fun with them in tow - not that anyone is really racing to the shops in these Covid-19 self-isolation times. But that’s where  Curvy Bras  comes in handy. Not only do they have a huge selection of all the well-known brands, they also have all styles from fashion to practical and sport, and in sizes ranging from D to G, so there truly is something for everyone. But what I also love about Curvy Bras, is that they have a great service where they offer free return if something doesn’t fit. How good is that.

I love nothing more than coming across new Australian brand, and even more so when I learn that they are For the past few weeks, cruelty-free and made using evidence-based and scientific ingredients to fight the signs of ageing and repair and protect the skin from the effects of a harsh environment.

And just like that, the long summer holidays are over. Later this week my big boy is stating grade 1 in school and little brother is starting kindergarten. How time has flown. And needless to say that there is a lot of excitement in the house. And for this mummy it also means back to having to make up lunch boxes five days a week, and this year, days where I have to prepare two of them. And well we all know what kids are like - it is not just about what food is in their lunchboxes, it is equally important how it is all packaged - but thankfully thanks to Smash Enterprises and Coles, we are all off to a great start with a cool new selection of lunch boxes. The Hybrid Ring Pull Lunch Box* is an insulated Bento Cold Box which is both leak proof and air tight. IT has a unique ring pull that makes it easy for the kids to open.
