Tomorrow is a big deal for Boo, tomorrow is when we head off on our first ever holiday and that means the first time she’ll have been on an aeroplane – although she’s still adamant that a plane is in fact a naughty bird… interesting!

We’re off to the north of Spain for a week to visit friends and enjoy some much-needed sun.

I’ve always enjoyed travelling and have never ben daunted by even long haul journeys but I must admit I have a fair few butterflies at the thought of navigating an airport on my own with a 22month old, luggage and a pushchair.

I’m now in panic mode of list of lists to make sure that none of the vitals are left behind (yes I know there are shops in Spain where everything can be bought!!) Deep down I know as long as we have a muslin for Boo to chew and a lollipop to help with popping of ears then all shall be fine.

It is less than 30 hours until take off so I want to hear if you have any last minute tips for travelling alone with a toddler.

I know that in 48 hours, passport control will be a distant memory and all that will matter is where to head for some delicious tapas in the sun!

You all know by now that Bliss is close to my heart, what with Operation Yummy Mummy it’s fair to say that I’m on a mission to raise as much money as possible for the charity work so hard to help babies and their families who are born too early or sick.

So I was delighted to see that MamaBabyBliss are celebrating National Baby Massage Week (13-18thMay) by donating 10% of all products sales to Bliss.

MamaBabyBliss not only offer products for baby massage but also run classes form pregnancy yoga, baby massage and even toddler yoga! There’s lots on offer and you’re sure to find a class near you.

National Baby Massage Week is fantastic opportunity for MamaBabyBliss to fundraise for Bliss, a great cause – Good luck!

For those that follow me on Instagram (@rosiecorriette) it’s pretty obvious that I’m obsessed with coffee when I’m out and about – yet when I’m home I’m an out and out tea addict!

I like a variety of teas and will pick my tea according to my mood and taste. I was sent a selection of Higher Living teas to see what I thought. First on the list was Peppermint – a very delicate flavor that needs to infuse for a few minutes but is still very nice. Secondly and probably my favourite of all three was Earl Gray – a distinct yet mellow taste that infused in now time at all, gorgeous! Last on the list was Chamomile – I’m rather new to this flavor but Higher Living’s version seems to strike the balance between delicate and the right amount of flavor.

Apart from tasting rather good Higher Living teas are organic and in the case of the Peppermint and Chamomile they’re single herb which gives a real pure and fresh taste. All the teas are make in their factory in England and are individually wrapped so are perfect for on the go.

There’s no denying that your body and in particular your skins goes through a lot when pregnant with stretch marks being one of the biggest concerns of new mothers.

I was extremely fortunate in escaping stretch marks apart from a few which are barely noticeable. However the one thing that I have noticed since having Boo is the texture and overall feel of my skin – it just seems to have lost it’s smoothness.

For the past month I’ve been using Bio Oil once a day to see if it could help with the texture of my skin, I was a bit wary of thinking that it would have a noticeable effect, yet I’ve been pleasantly surprised to say that Bio Oil has made a big difference. Not only have I seen a big improvement in how my stomach skin feels and looks but it’s helped minimise the effects of my weight loss as part of #operationyummymummy.

Whilst the Bio Oil may add a bit of time to your routine – I found it rather oily (although no surprise seeing as it is oil!) so had to wash my hands before moisturising the rest of my body; it’s worth it as there aren’t many products out there that can have visible signs of effectiveness in such a short space of time. Bio Oil has definitely earned it’s place in my wash bag.

Spring is upon us and I’m not one to miss an opportunity to update my wardrobe. While I’m in the midst of #operationyummymummy I’ve decided to try and resist buying more investment pieces as my body shape is constantly changing. So what’s a girl to do when she’s not buying clothes; the answer is: Accessories!

John Lewis have a some great accessories and here are my pick of the best:

My top list had to feature a Mulberry seeing as I am one of their addicts, ahem I mean fan and what better bag than to kick off my top 5 than this beautifully simple yet perfect tote from the power house of British handbags and what a perfect colour for spring.

I’m a big fan of humongous sunnies and these are a great mix of classic style and fun with the Gucci logo on the side – perfect for some fun in the sun.

Whilst I don’t wear heels often I would keep these beauties glued to my feet this season, what’s not to like they’ve got everything covered from the cute so on trend ankle strap to the flash of metallic patterned leather and the block heel in the ever so seasonably white. A firm favourite.

If you can’t add a pop of colour to your outfit in the spring/summer then when can you. I love this eye popping bright watch by Marc Jacobs because it’s fun and the small enough if you’re not feeling too adventurous.

I started with Mulberry so it would be rude not to finish my pick of the best with this gorgeous gecko print silk mix scarf. Gecko’s remind me of hot exotic holidays and what better way to battle the inevitable British summer than with an effortless scarf.
