What are your essentials?

It can be clothes, beauty or anything really?

I'm a mum to 2 small girls and have completely gone for the rails with fashion and beauty so just wanting ideas for me!

When my little ones were little, my essentials were decent jeans, anything that didn’t make my arse look like it was sliding down the back of my legs and scoop neck T-shirts. Pretty much every photograph taken of me over a 13 year period I am wearing that uniform.

When my DDs were small it’s was pretty much jeans and T-shirts plus lipstick and perfume. The last two for my benefit.

For me sports leggings and some longer length wooly jumpers. Nice boots or trainers.
Skincare wise: large bottle of basic cleanser (Cerave), large bottle of moisturiser (Cethaphil) and SPF50 (I like Nivea), vaseline or lip balm

Boyfriend jeans and crew neck t shirts, always plain unless I found one with a really scathingly sarcastic comment😁

toothpaste

When I was Mum to kids that age my essential was a really lovely and rather sexy going out out dress, so I could be ‘me’ for the evening once in a while.
