6 Things you need to know about Princess Cruises' OceanMedallion™

With the announcement of Princess Cruises' all-new Seacations things are about to get super exciting and ya know what? We NEEDED some good cruise news to look forward to. It has been a long ol' year without some of our favourite ships gracing the shores of Southampton so I can't wait to see the new season of ships sail in, although it'll be very different from what we're used to when it starts up again. 

When it comes to technology at sea, Princess Cruises have been leading the way and it seems like so long ago since I stepped aboard Crown Princess in 2019 to learn all about their innovative new way to cruise. 

So with us being just mere weeks away from cruising again and the exciting news that both Regal Princess and Sky Princess will be completely touchless experiences it was time we had a run-through about what you can expect this summer.

Get Super Soft Skin with Typology's NEW Scrubs

(Features press samples & affiliate links - see disclaimer)

I'm a sucker for a scrub, the scrubbier the better for me and so over the last six weeks I've been putting some new products from Typology to the test. I've spoken about Typology a few times on here and it's a brand I really enjoy using.

Created by Ning Li, the founder of MADE.com, Typology is completely clean, genderless and 100% digital. The Paris-based skincare brand was founded with a mission to promote critical thinking in the personal care arena, intending to break the rules and demystify the complex industry. It's completely stripped back to basics in terms of ingredients and packaging allowing them to design and produce concentrated, natural products that are active, effective and sustainable without a bit of faff in sight.

It's just really great, faff free skincare and I adore it. 

We're having another baby!

Big life news - we're having another baby! 

Last week, we shared on social media we were expecting our second child, a little girl and we're so excited to share the news. I feel as though we've known for an eternity and we've kept the news to ourselves for quite a bit longer this time too. 

I'm due in the Summer and just about to hit the halfway mark which seems crazy, it has flown by and I keep saying to Arran can you believe we're halfway already?! Imagine my shock when I have a new baby in my arms in the blink of an eye - haha.

Oh so familiar skincare brand, Dr.PAWPAW have some news, you can now purchase their products in Superdrug! 

Created back in 2013, Dr.PAWPAW was developed by Johnny and Pauline after their daughter was diagnosed with eczema; They wanted a natural alternative to steroid prescription creams and this was their solution.

Now years later, the award-winning brand has numerous products loved by many especially as the multi-use balm can be used on lips, skin and hair from anyone to grannies and babies, to those with dry skin or suffering the effects of chemotherapy. The original balm is my personal favourite followed closely by the rich mocha balm and now with shops opening next week, it has never been easier to pick up your favourite Dr.PAWPAW products.

Five Books I Read in March + Reviews

March seemed to fly by so with a new month starting it was time to round up what I've read and share my thoughts. I've had a slower start to the year when it has come to reading so I decided to set my 2021 reading challenge at sixty books so there was a little less pressure this year. My TBR pile is never-ending and I'm a nightmare for continually adding to it so I've placed a ban on myself until I've worked through what I have at home. 

I read four books in March including one I wish I hadn't wasted my time on and I finally finished my first ever audiobook so I've included that too - I can't wait to hear what you think!
