So it's been a while!

So... what exactly is going on?!

Long story short, I've lost the will to make videos .
I have ideas but I just haven't got the motivation to do it.
My laptop is broken again; I have a new rule of no one under my height can touch my laptop, so that hasn't helped!
I love my new camera but the editing is harder, and it takes longer to convert videos so I can upload them.

I've been homeschooling for 2 years and looking after a maniac toddler who's favourite pass time is to climb up the cupboard using each shelf as a foothold!
Connor has now decided that he's like to go back to school and has had his first two induction days and is getting on really well! So once the maniac goes to nursery I should have a lot more free time.
I didnt and don't plan on "leaving" youtube , but in a sense I have...

I'm hoping my laptop will be fixed by the new year and I think I'm going to start making videos again. However I'm not sure they'll be the same. Things have changed for me quite a lot in my life and I think the content of my videos will probably change a bit, more makeup, reviews, blogs and lifestyle.

I'm very much into instagram recently so if you want to stay up to date, follow me on instagram, /gothmummi of course.

Love love and be good to each other. X

so its been like FOREVER right????

So. It's been awhile. Well, let's be honest, it's been 9 months. 

So much happened it really did. Cutting a long horrid story short, my partner left me when I was 15 weeks pregnant. Yeah. I had to contend with that while pregnant. I had to arrange bills into my name, finances etc. I couldn't pretend to be happy, when I was so heartbroken. I honestly had the intention of making a video, and felt so guilty but I just couldn't bring myself to talk about anything.
My pregnancy wasn't easy obviously, but not as awful as anticipated! I had loads of scans and checks to make sure babe was growing well. I couldn't of done it without Charlotte, my best friend. She was there for me every single time I needed her, getting buses to meet me at the hospital to meet me from the taxi and push me huge pregnant hippopotamus body around. She was always o  the end of the phone and listened to me say the same stuff over and over again. I don't think I had a single positive word to say throughout my entire pregnancy and she never once told me to "cheer up" or "get over it'"
I couldn't of done it without her and she was there to witness my beautiful baby entering the world. I love her like a sister and can never repay her for everything she did for me.

I had the best Labour and birth out of all 4 of my babies and gave birth to Jack-Thomas by induced labour 2 weeks early, on the 30th of April at 8.30pm. He weighed 6lbs 4ozs. He went into special care baby unit (SCUBU) when he was 16 1/2 hours old and stayed til he was 13 days old. He had jaundice and low blood sugar and had to have a feeding tube. The worst part was when I had to leave after 5 days, and go home without my baby. Also on that day I found out a girl I knew from my old village had died of cancer, aged 22.
When I got to bring Jack home, it was pretty hectic. He was extremely clingy and didn't like being put down all all!!

Stuart and I got back together after a lot of talking and honesty. We still aren't living together but things are ok.
Jack is getting on really well, he's the most smiley, happy little lad, LOVES his food!! He has a problem with his eye but hopefully it's something easily fixed. 

This is a truly watered down, short hand version of events, I really feel awful f or just vanishing without a trace. My camera cable has ceased to be, so will attempt to film off my 2nd biggest boys ipad! I am busy atm, it's been the school holidays and its the Boys baptism next week so I've had much to do, but they're back at school the beginning of September, so I'll have more time.
Be good to each other x

Ted Baker Star Quality Vanity Case Review

So my Auntie bought me the Ted Baker Star Quality Vanity Case for my birthday, ( which is actually in July, but was given early as I may not see her ) and I LOVE it! Absolutely ADORE it!
                                     How pretty is this vanity case?! it has a jewel!

It has Everything a girl could possibly need to feel beautiful! the case it a decent size and very deep, and the best bit...... it has Products inside!


                                    All the beautiful things!    

                     The vanity case is actually so deep, everything can stand up inside it, and the lid still closes!

When I say it has Everything a girl could need, I really do mean EVERYTHING! Here's what you get inside this beautiful gift set:


                    Gorgeous smelling Bath foam and body wash in matching scents to make you smell like the princess you are.


                  Body scrub to slough off those pesky dry and flaky patches and Body souffle to keep dry skin at bay.


                       Body lotion and hand lotion to soften and smooth.

From the minute to step in the bath to the moment you're clean and dry, this gift set has you covered! All the products are matching in scent, so there's no need to worry about a clash of smells. The scent is gorgeous, I can't describe it other than its a grown up, subtle and luxurious smell that really does make you smell and feel so fresh and clean! 
The whole set usually retails at £45, but I've found it on Ebay  for as little as £25 including postage!
I really think its worth the money, its a beautiful set, chock full of gorgeous full sized products, and the case is fantastic, reusable and useful and absolutely stunning!


I'm very grateful that my wonderful Auntie got this for me as a gift, and i really recommend it to all my lovelies and gentlefish, as a gift for birthdays, Eid, Christmas ( never too early to prepare and stock up after all!) or as a treat for yourself! Why not? You deserve it :)

I hope you found this review useful,  click  Here to go to Ebay listings, or simply Google to search in your country :)
I really can't rave enough about this gift set, so I'm going to be doing a video review too! Check out my youtube channel to see when the review is up, and in the mean time, feel free to watch my other videos and maybe subscribe too if you feel so inclined  :)
( i will edit/post a link to the video once its live)


Hope everyone is well, Be Good to Each other.
