How good is it when you schedule in some me time and paint your nails after a long day chasing a toddler, changing nappies and battling meal times, only for them to chip the very next day. What a waste of precious time! Enter this nail polish from @lovefromzahara that lasts on my nails at least 4 days without any chips. It’s made with a breathable formula making it healthier for your nails, is vegan and cruelty free. It also applies really nicely and dries quick. This colour is Nefertiti (swipe to see how it looks on my nails) and there are so many other colours to choose from #zaharawarrior #nudenails #debbywithawhy 💙
As a mum with limited time, if I’m going to do my nails I need it to last longer than a couple of days and this is one of the best I’ve used! It’s from @lovefromzahara and lasts on my nails at least 4 days without any chips. It’s made with a breathable formula which is healthier for your nails, is vegan and cruelty free. It also applies really nicely and dries quick. This colour is Nefertiti and there are so many other colours to choose from #zaharawarrior #nudenails #debbywithawhy 💙
Yeah he looks cute but this little guy is on his toddler tantrum training wheels. We haven’t had any epic ones yet but crying when he tips out his crayons or wanting to be picked up every time I go into the kitchen is definitely new. On the blog I’ve written about dealing Levi’s new behaviour and it’s not all bad so have included the good bits that come along with having a toddler - link in bio. Oh and did I mention he’s really good at saying no #toddlertantrums #sendhelp #debbywithawhy 💙
Being a parent is hard, challenging, exhausting and overwhelming but then there are moments like this and for a few seconds you forget how tough it is. These two adore each other and my heart does a little dance #canberramums #fatherandsontime #debbywithawhy 💙
Eye cream is that really divisive skincare product. It’s often the one you skip in your routine to make it quicker but the under eye area is so delicate and needs extra attention. I recommend using an eye cream, even just once a day if that’s all you have time for. The one I’m using right now and recommend is the brightening eye cream from @olayau It has hydrated, lightened my dark circles, reduced the appearance of my fine lines and bags. There’s more info about the product including the ingredients on the blog - link in bio #teameyecream #debbywithawhy 💙
The last few months I’ve realised when I head to the shops I come home with plenty of things for my son Levi and nothing for me. I’ve felt that I shouldn’t spend money on myself because I need to be a responsible parent, you know buy nappies, educational toys and books. Well over the last couple of weeks that has changed and I have splurged a bit on me ... and it feels gooood!!! Stand by for more style pics #spendingmoney #giftsformyself #debbywithawhy 💙
Mum life essentials: caffeine, concealer and eye cream (to name a few)! I’ve been using this brightening eye cream from @olayau for a couple of months (bought it myself) and my under eye area is definitely brighter and more hydrated. My fine lines have decreased and my bags are less noticeable despite me being in epic sleep debt with a 17 month old boy. It’s about $50 but because you only need a small amount, it’ll last a while. There’s more info about the eye cream on the blog - link in bio - and if you have any skincare recommendations, I’d love to know what #mumlifeessentials #darkcirclesfordays #debbywithawhy 💙
Here’s a pic I prepared earlier when I hadn’t had about 10 hours sleep in 3 nights thanks to a sick son. Hopefully he’s over the worst of his ear infection 🤞🏼 Now can I give a big hug to this small jar of eye cream I’ve been using for the last couple of months (I bought it myself). My under eye area is brighter and more hydrated, my fine lines have decreased and my bags are less noticeable - impressive considering I’m in epic sleep debt. It’s about $50 and because you only need a small amount, it’ll last a while. There’s more info about the eye cream on the blog - link in bio - but I really recommend it #mumlifeessentials #darkcirclesfordays #debbywithawhy 💙
