Organise your tech gear.

Beauty treatments for busy mums: how to save time and feel amazing

November 24, 2025

Many mums find that their beauty regimes go out of the window or take a backseat when life gets hectic. Being a parent is a full-time job. It can be tough to find the time to treat yourself and indulge in self-care. The good news is that there are some amazing time-saving treatments around. In this guide, we’ll explore some of the best options for mums on the go.

Semi-permanent eyebrow makeup

Brows are big news in terms of beauty trends. For many years now, it’s been fashionable to have strong brows or a subtle but more sculpted and defined look. You can enhance your natural brows using pencils, pens or shaping kits, but investing in semi-permanent makeup is a great alternative. There are various treatments available, but in most cases, an hour or two in the chair will set you up for months of perfect-looking brows. Every morning and pre-going-out prep session, you can save time while looking polished and put-together. If you’re considering this treatment, it’s important to research, read reviews and make sure you understand what the treatment entails before you commit.

Summer ballet pumps for mother and daughter

June 7, 2016

A few years ago I bought a beautiful dull gold top. From the minute I first wore it, Anya insisted she had to have the same. She was only 3 years old. Since then, she has often wanted us to wear matching clothes when we go out together. Her sweet, sweet sentiment of wanting to be like her mama gives me a warm and happy feeling all over. While I adore this sentiment, I can’t do full on matching mama and daughter style. Can you? I can do complementary style yes, but matching head to toe, no. So recently, when Pisamonas offered to send us both a pair of shoes, I thought this was the perfect opportunity for some similar mama and daughter style. Both Anya and I opted for ballet pumps – she chose the sparkly pink ones while I opted for the black leather ballet pumps.

One shelf, one hundred possibilities

May 25, 2016

As your kids move beyond the baby stage, life starts zooming by even quicker than before. I mean it feels like one minute they’re learning their ABC’s and the next they’re reading to you! That phrase – ‘they grow up too quick’ – that only parents understand, has never meant more to me than now. Knowing this, I’ve realised when decorating your kids room, you have to keep in mind that they grow so quickly. Keeping this reality at the back of your mind will save you money, angst and the headache of re-decorating every year or two. A while ago I shared some ideas on how to design a room your kids won’t outgrow and today I wanted to share this great shelving system that has so, so many possibilities. As far as changeable, practical and adjustable wall shelves go, I don’t think I’ve seen better.
