How many times have you said to a friend, “The kids are making my hair fall out today!”? Hopefully, it’s not just me; but I know I do it multiple times a week! Either that, or it’s being pulled out by the kids – ouch! I wrote this little poem that you may be able to familiarise yourself with, particularly on those hair-falling out kind of days…
I mentioned a few weeks ago how Jacob & I are DryNites® ConfidentNites ambassadors. He has been using the DryNites for a few weeks now and we have already seen an improvement in dryness during the night. Over the course of the next few months I will be sharing our journey via a series of vlogs on YouTube. In this first vlog, I am giving you an introduction to DryNites® and the ConfidentNites Guide.

As the biscuit is baked within the mixture, it smells divinely caramelised just out of the oven too!
After my surprising loss last week I went away from group feeling completely over the moon and ready & raring to go for the week ahead! I had no plans, except to stick to plan, of course. It was going well for a couple of days until I had quite a frustrating day, the boys went to bed late, we hadn’t eaten our tea and I then couldn’t be bothered to cook, so we had a Chinese takeaway.
