#3things: helping me to fake the 8 hours sleep look

The baby is sleeping really well - for a four week old. But the breastfeeding means that I'm up two or three times a night - and have been for the past month. So right about now, I'm not looking too fresh come the morning. So I've found a few things that help to fake it - and I thought I'd share them.

1. Washing my hair (and even just showering) is proving difficult with a newborn who doesn't like to be left on his own for even a second while I jump in the shower! So I've been relying on dry shampoo A LOT. This Extreme Volume dry shampoo by CoLab (which comes from a collaboration with Ruth Crilly of A Model Recommends) is my newest find - it smells divine and helps to rejuvenate my hair - even after four days!
2. Mascara is a must for making me look awake in the mornings. An eyelash curler really helps too. Right now I'm loving this Limited Edition Bourjois Tropical Festival Volume Clubbing mascara (which is on offer right now) - it really helps to curl my lashes and makes my eyes look wide awake (or a little awake!).
3. Finally, this Rimmel London Sculpting Palette by Kate Moss is a new addition to my make up bag and I totally love it. I wanted to try it for a while and picked it up as a little treat earlier this week. I've not actually used it to contour yet (no time!) but I have been using the highlighter and blusher every day this week and both give me a lovely glow.

Any other tips for looking awake after a night of newborn feeds and nappy changes?

brand: Mokee

Mokee specialise in beautiful handcrafted baby products for your nursery. My sister alerted me to this brand, after her friend had one of their cots. Their product range is quite small but actually that’s probably better – it’s simple and perfectly formed. Their Pinterest and Instagram pages are a dream for planning your nursery. I basically want everything!

The wool nest moses baskets look so cosy, while the sleek cots are chic and modern.

We haven't started on our nursery conversion yet. We currently live in a three bed townhouse which means that the third bedroom is on the first floor with our living room, while the other two bedrooms are on the second floor. The third bedroom is currently an office-come-junk-room and the second bedroom, a spare room. We are planning to move the spare bed down and into the third bedroom and to turn our second bedroom into the nursery.

I will be sure to post before and after pics etc of the nursery make-over.
