Yo Chi Teatox Review

Happy Friday ladies, 

I hope you've all had a great week and are ready to let your hair down for the weekend!!! 

Today's post is all about my recent detox that I tried out. I have never done any type of detox before so this was all new to me. I had heard a lot about the idea of a "teatox" and was interested to give it a try. 

I gave birth to my first baby 10 weeks ago, and although I was back to my pre pregnancy weight, I wanted to try this detox to kick start a healthier routine after having my son. 

As you can imagine, juggling a newborn baby, a house move and working too, just after I had my son meant my energy levels were being put to the test, and I found I wasn't looking after my body the way I should. 

Yo Chi is a new super-teatox. The recipe contains a powerful anti-stress and balanced weight-loss formula that work together to increase harmony in your body, using a 100% natural blend of high concentration, premium lotus leaves and oolong green tea.

The lotus leaf is known to slow the absorption of fat and carbohydrates. It is also extremely high in antioxidants which work to relive stress and anxiety, helping your overall wellbeing and increasing energy levels. 

The detox involves drinking two cups of Yo Chi tea a day, preferably once in the morning and once at lunchtime. The tea has a lovely mild taste, so nothing that is tough to endure twice a day. I actually looked forward to it everyday. If you like regular green tea then you will love this. 

After about three or four days of the teatox, I really noticed a change in my tummy. Any bloating I had was completely gone, and my tummy began to look flatter. I also noticed a huge difference in my skin too. All the antioxidants did wonders for my skin, and It was noticeably brighter and softer. 

The biggest benefit of the teatox, for me, was the increased energy. I used to find myself in need of daily naps when my little boy was sleeping, but now, I use that time to work and keep up with daily tasks. My energy levels have doubled, and I find I am sleeping much better at night too (minus the night feeds!!) 

If you are interested in kick starting a new healthy regime and looking to gain lots more energy, I could not recommend this detox enough.

Yo Chi is available to purchase from www.therapieclinic.com and costs just €29.95 for a 30 day supply or €59.90 for a 90 day supply.

Have a fab weekend, 

Lots of love,

FitFood Ireland Review

Hi ladies, 

As you may know, I had my first baby 9 weeks ago now, and had mentioned that I wanted to get my diet and exercise back on track. Being a new mum and working hard on my blog, means I have little time to stop and prepare healthy meals for the week. I found myself skipping lunch as I simply didn't have the time to prepare something tasty. I was turning to coffee to fill me until dinner time when I would sit down and eat with my partner. 

My energy levels started to drop, as I was not making sure to fuel my body regularly. When I heard about FitFood Ireland, it sounded like the perfect solution to my diet problems. 

FitFood is a meal delivery service, preparing paleo lunches and dinners for the week ahead. The meals are all booked on the day of order, freshly frozen and delivered to your door. For someone like myself, who loves tasty food but is a brutal cook, it is the ideal solution. 

My meals were delivered on Sunday, and I got 5 lunches, and a treat box for the week. 

My lunches - 

- Thai Green Curry with Cauliflower rice. 

- Sweet Potatoe Sheppards Pie 

- Steak Burger, onion rings and chips with FitFood sauce 

- Chicken Kiev with roasted balsamic vegetables 

- Chicken courgette noodles 

The meals arrived packed and frozen, so I popped them into my freezer. All you have to do is take out your meal for the following day, 24 hours before you plan to eat it. Each day, I would microwave my lunch for 5 mins and that's! So easy, and so tasty. I was concerned that there wouldn't be much flavour to the meals, after being frozen and reheated, but I can safely say each meal had so much flavour and I finished every one. 

I also got a treat box, which is ideal for someone like me who has a sweet tooth and loves a sneaky treat with my tea after dinner. The treat box contained a mix of healthy snacks like chocolate brownies, mint chic chip cookies, carrot and walnut muffins, coconut bites, snickers and the INSANELY tasty peanut fudgeroos (my new obsession!!) All of the treats are gluten, dairy and suger free, so you can enjoy them guilt free!! 

After a week of eating the helathy lunches each day, I found I had so much more energy and didn't rely on coffee to give me a midday boost. They are absolutely ideal for anyone who is stuck for time, but is health conscious. Or if you are useless in the kitchen like myself, but love tasty, too quality food, then this is the way to go. 

You can check out more about FitFood Ireland on their Facebook page or their website

Happy healthy eating,

Get The Look : Contour Love

Hi ladies, 

Apologies for the lack of posts on my blog recently. Moving to a new apartment and finding the time with a newborn can be hard, but I am devoted to getting more posts up for you all each week.

I had a lot of interest in this recent look that I posted on my Instagram account, so have decided to do a product list for you.

I have always used Harmony blush from MAC as my contour powder, but have now found a new favourite. 

One of my best friends is a make up artist for MAC and picked me up some goodies recently that she knew I would love. One of the products is a pro longwear blush called  "Baby Don't Go" and is my new favourite powder to achieve a chiseled look. It is very similar to Harmony, but definitely lasts longer, and has less of a bronzey tone to it, creating the perfect shadow for your make up.

The rest of the products used are listed below - 

Face: 

MAC strobe cream

Revlon Photo Ready Airbrush Foundation

MAC Studio Fix concealer 

MAC Soft and Gentle Mineralize Skinfinish to highlight 

MAC Baby Don't Go blush to contour 

MAC Peaches blusher 

Eyes:

MAC Uninterrupted, Love Connection and Swiss Chocolate eyeshadows 

MAC Dipdown liner 

Urban Decay Perversion Mascara

Lips:

MAC Stone lip liner

MAC Pro Longwear lipstick in Back To The Future

Thanks for reading ladies, and keep an eye out for my upcoming Youtube videos ;-) 

Lots of Love,

Rosie

Welcome Baby Harry Peter Quinn

I cannot believe I am FINALLY writing this post. 

Baby Harry Peter Quinn arrived on Tuesday 16th December at 5.59pm weighing 8lbs 15oz and measuring 54cm.

I can honestly say that it was the best day of my life, and in the last two weeks, my whole world has changed for the better. I have had many questions regarding my delivery story etc so i will try and give you all as much details as I can.

My waters broke at home at about 8.30am on Tuesday, after a week of slow labour and constant back pains. When my waters broke, I had no contraction pains, so after calling the hospital, I decided I would take my time, have a shower and blow dry my hair (stupidly thinking it was possible to look somewhat glamorous during labour - I was wrong!!)
By the time I had my shower, the contractions were coming every 4 minutes, so I knew I needed to get to the hospital asap.
We arrived at the hospital at 11am, and I was brought straight into the emergency room to be examined. I immediately started on gas and air, as the pains were coming so quickly and I was not getting much of break in between. I was already 3cm dilated when the doctor examined me, so I was brought straight to the labour ward to meet my midwife.

To be honest, I don't remember entering the labour ward, as I was in a wheelchair and pretty high on the gas and air, so had my eyes closed trying to focus on getting through each pain.
The minute I met my midwife, I asked for an epidural, as I was struggling with the contractions. I had the epidural done, but unfortunately it didn't work first time around. After an hour waiting on this epidural to kick in, the midwife called for another anaesthetist to put in a second epidural. At this stage I was totally fed up and the pains were becoming unbearable, but the minute the second epidural went in,I could feel the relief, and the contraction pains slowly started to ease off.
After about an hour I was examined again, and was 10cm dilated, so I was ready to deliver. The midwife advised that I should wait an hour before pushing, to allow baby to naturally come down slightly, and to give myself a rest before I had to push. They agreed to start pushing at 5pm, but by 4.40pm, the epidural was wearing off and the pains were coming fast again, so I asked to start pushing.

After a long hour and twenty minutes pushing, my not so little baby arrived. When he was placed on my chest, I couldn't get over the size of him, but was in awe of how perfect he looked. His big eyes looking up at me, his golden hair and perfect pouty lips. I was instantly overwhelmed and cried my eyes out, in awe of him, and what I had just been through. Both myself and Paul just sat and stared at him, crying with happiness. From that moment, I realised my whole world had changed forever, and I was now this amazing little boy's Mum.

The past two weeks of have been the best weeks of my life. I cannot describe the feeling of love and admiration I have for my son, and how scary it is to love such a tiny little human being as much as I do. I already know I would give up my life for him, and will do everything in my power to make him the happiest boy on the planet. Myself and Paul have spent the past two weeks just staring at him, watching every move he makes.
Motherhood has already been the most amazing experience of my life to date, and I am envious of any mum to be, who gets to experience everything for the first time. You are in for the most overwhelming feelings of love and content. I feel like I have changed so much as a person in a matter of days, and everything I do is now with my son's best interests at heart.

It is finally time to say goodbye to 2014. It will always remain the most magical year of my life, and I look forward to spending 2015 with my new little family.

Thank you to each and every one of you who has supported me this past year, and I look forward to an exciting and fun filled 2015 here on Hearts, Heels and Handbags (and Harry!)

Happy New Year to you all,

Love always,

Rosie, Paul & Baby Harry
