Do you need help organising?

Hi my name is Tara-Lee and I am quite shocking when it comes to organising things around the house. Trying to find a permanent home for items is a challenge because we don't have much storage areas in the house. We are planning a massive, ruthless cull of somethings we own so this little challenge that I am about to share with you all has come at a perfect time!

You may have seen a post on my old blog (my Mummy blog before I decided to combine to two), a post about Inner B's wonderful organisers, well now, not only are they helping you with cute little organisers, they have created an Organising Challenge to help get things under control in your life. Here's what it's all about -

"September 3rd, sees the exciting launch of Inner-B's first ever
Organising Challenge.  This month they will be focusing on the hub of
the home, the kitchen. Join facebook at: www.facebook.com/B-Organised
for support, inspiration, motivation, giveaways and fun!  You can do the
challenge yourself or purchase one of our new Organising Challenge packs
for $16.95.  Each pack contains everything you need to get your kitchen
organised, decluttered and maintained.  Head on over and see our
kitchens transformed!!!  "

How great does this sound?!! I can't wait to get involved and hopefully get some things sorted out haha.
Will you be joining us? What areas of your house need the most organising?

Decluttering,
Tara-Lee xo

Update to my skincase routine

Hello Candylanders! So last Thursday I posted a blog about my skin becoming super sensitive and how I was changing brands of skincare (if you haven't read it you can click right here) and tonight I just wanted to post a quick little update on my thoughts of the products I am now using as well as how my skin is feeling.


Above are the products I am using by Cetaphil (I received the moisturiser on the right for free with the cleanser so I am yet to try it out but wanted to show it to you all).

Even within a week I have noticed a huge difference in my skin, it isn't burning or stinging and the itching has settled down too. These products are so gentle and soft on my skin and I love that they are safe for the whole family to use!

I have ordered an exfoliating face brush like the one shown in the photo above too so I can exfoliate maybe every 2 or 3 nights depending on how my skin is feeling.

I am so glad I decided to make the switch to a more gentle brand because my skin is thanking me for it!


Finger Painting Fun

Nothing is more fun than dipping your fingers into some paint and going to town on some paper, according to my 2 year old anyway =)
The one thing that I think most, if not all, parents dread is after painting clean up - paint in the hair, up the arms, possibly on the face and we are left thinking how in the world are we going to get this off without needing to scrub?
Crayola have made it super easy to get messy and get clean just as fast with their Non Toxic Washable Finger Paints!




No scrubbing to wash the colours off, it comes off your little one's skin easy and the same goes for their clothing also - luckily haha!
I highly recommend these finger paints to parents of kids all ages because it's not just toddlers who can make a huge mess with paints!

Rainbows and painting,

Sensitive Skin

Happy Friday Candylanders!

Recently, I have noticed that my skin is becoming more sensitive than it use to be. I have always been the type of person that tends to build up a tolerence to a product after a while and I continuously have to change which skin care products I use, but lately I have started getting itchy skin and it slightly burns after I use any of the array of cleanser I have in our bathroom. Not a good sign. So I have decided to clean out the bathroom, get rid of all my cleansers and moisturisers and start fresh. With a cleasner and moisturiser that is specifically for sensitive skin. I have heard many good things about Cetaphil so I am going to give this brand a go and fingers crossed my skin will start feeling better asap - it is driving me crazy at the moment.



I will be sure to keep you all up to date with how these products go!
Sick of itching my poor face,
