The kiddies have fallen in love with BBC shows again. They went off the channel for a while but with this lockdown and homeschooling, it looks like they have rekindled their relationship with Cbeebies. I am happy they have great educative shows to watch. Cbeebies have adds some extra colour to our days. Here are some of their current favourite shows on Cbeebies –

Love Monster

The Duchess got an interactive Love Monster for Christmas and she is so in love with the teddy. This has led to her wanting to watch the Love Monster show on Cbeebies, and her twinny has caught the Love Monster bug too! Do your kids watch the show?

Alphablocks

This is one of their favourite shoes on Cbeebies. I really like them watching this particular show because it is fun, entertaining and very educative. The graphics are also really nice. Alphablocks is a hit in our house.

Numberblocks

Numberblocks is another fun show the kiddies love watching on Cbeebies. It teaches children numbers in a fun way. The twins learn a lot from Numberblocks. They enjoy learning different ways of playing with numbers.

Numbersong

Numbersong is another show similar to Numberblocks. The show helps young children develop essential number skills through catchy songs. It is another hit in our house. The twins love watching it.

Go Jetters

The Go Jetters show is all about adventure-seeking explorers who travel around the planet fixing environmental problems caused by Grandmaster Glitch! It is a fun and educating way to teach the little ones about the different continents and countries. The twins enjoy how dramatic the explorers are.

Why I haven’t had my hair done since February

August 7, 2020 By in Beauty Tags: , , , , , , 3 Comments

I have been not visited my hairdresser since February 2020. This was a decision I made when the chaos started. I decided to quit many of the things I would do normally. Having my hair professionally done was one of them. Even when the government lifted the restrictions here in England, my restrictions were still on. The main reason why I have decided not to have my hair done professionally is that I wanted to pay more attention to it and grow it. I am pleased with how my hair is looking these days. It has grown rapidly in the last 3 months. I am looking forward to seeing how long and healthy it will look like by the end of the year. Also, the whole idea of wearing masks to the hairdressers didn’t encourage me to go in.

Why I haven’t had my hair done since February

For those who do not know, I decided to go down the natural route some years ago. I got rid of all the hair relaxers and chemicals I have been using on my hair for decades and allowed my hair to be. The big chop route didn’t appeal to me, so I decided to let the relaxed ends outgrow themselves. It was a long process but it worked well in the end. I am looking forward to my hair growing longer so I can do more with it. Hopefully, I and my little girl will be able to visit our hairdresser within the next few months, but I don’t think I am ready just yet.

I love the fact that I can wash my hair every 2 weeks (or whenever I feel like) without worrying about messing up my cornrows. The fact that I am to deeply moisturise my hair with oils twice a day, from the scalp to the tips is also a big one for me. Usually, many of the hairstyles I do don’t allow me moisturise my hair the way I would like to. I have my hair in plaits or twists I do myself. It allows my hair to breathe easy.

I now see why many natural hair women hardly have their hair in cornrow styles these days. If there is one thing this pandemic has allowed me to, it has given me a good reason to care for my hair the way my hair wants me to. The growth and the glow in my hair speak for itself. I went from not being able to grow my hair some months ago to haveing my hair grow longer and healthier every week. This experience has been mind-blowing. I will be sharing before and after photos to keep track of the length, so do lookout for the next natural hair update post.

 

 

The 3 don’ts for a healthy body mindset

June 8, 2020 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , 9 Comments

Many of us have added a bit a weight in this lockdown. It is tricky to stay active indoors, especially when you have no where to go. I am quite conscious of my weight. I know when I have added a few pounds and I don’t need to weigh myself to check this. Extra weight is something I can feel because I am so in tune with my body. I haven’t added any weight in this lockdown because I eat right, stay active and I usually don’t put on weight to be honest. If anything, I tend to lose more than I gain, which is something I am also working on.

The 3 don’ts for a healthy body mindset

It is super easy to get obsessed with your weight. I know many people who weight themselves regularly to make sure they have not added a few pounds. It is fine to keep track off your weight but you also need to ensure you don’t get obsessed with it all. Here are a few don’ts for a healthy body mindset.

Don’t count your calories

This is something I have never done but I know a few people who count the calories in everything they eat. I think that is taking the whole weight management thing overboard. It is not ok to count the calories in everything you eat especially when you are not overweight.

Don’t compare yourself with celebrities or influencers

This is easily done thanks to social media and blogs, but it is a big no-no because comparison is the thief of joy. Comparing yourself to those with the “perfect body” will do put body mindset no favours. Focus on yourself and stop comparing to achieve a healthy body mindset.

Don’t weight yourself 5 times a day

Worrying over how much weight you have put on will not help you in away. It is fine to weight yourself sometimes while trying to lose but weighing yourself everyday is a no-no, and so is weighing yourself 5 times a day.

At the end of the day, loving all parts of yourself is the most important thing. You should make sure you do what is best for your mental and physical health, and keeping an eye on your right is very important. However, there is a thin line between keeping tabs of your weight and being outright obsessive. It is best to not cross that line for a healthy body mindset.

Have a great week.
