Eureka! A pregnancy skin saviour

I'm in week 19 (almost 20) and my face has been pretty damn blotchy with dry patches. Adorable? No, not on your nelly.

Last week I was on a course at work which not only had me using a Z1 video camera, but heavily involved me in ad-libbing and generally acting the fool in front of it. CLOSE UP.

Having to watch the videos back with an audience was cringeworthy. Was it because of my acting skills? Whatever! If Natalie Portman ever fell ill on set... I'd be ready to step in.

Dot-to-dot anyone?
However, the camera may reject my face. You could have played dot-to-dot and created a masterpiece across my forehead and cheeks. And the wrinkles around the eyes had quadrupled. It was about as depressing as watching Take Me Out on a Saturday night. Oh yeah, I do that as well.

Last Friday lunch time I desperately scurried to Boots to find myself a miracle cream (Sudacrem isn't it unfortunately).

Before I could say "I need help," a tiny, smiley lady with glossy lips (she came up to my knee!) pounced on me at the Origins counter.

Of course I purchased a product. I was desperate. BUT, Origins VitaZing cream has been a godsend! I have a glow again. To quote the website; 'you'll look like you eat right, sleep tight and don't have a worry in sight.' If only it actually did all those things too, but it's not a miracle cream.

All I need now is that tiny lady to find me a new wardrobe.

Naughty toes: A whole packet of Jaffa cakes and a packet of Aero Bubbles.
Good toes: Lots of walking to and from work, and a visit to the gym - 20 minute cycle, light weights for arms. Lots of healthy food!
