Baby bump and my body

Body changes:

39 weeks 1 day & 2 weeks postpartum.

I felt like doing a post that I hope many of you can relate to whether your pregnant, postpartum or simply fancy reading about how I feel about my body image in particular. I feel like this is such a taboo subject,  almost frowned upon if you feel a certain way; people have so many opinions in regards to body image and how we should feel about ourselves. 

It’s amazing how much our bodies change to accommodate pregnancy, how much they grow and change shape to help your beautiful baby thrive before birth. It amazes me. There just changes most of use aren’t used to. 

After all there is a lot to get used to, I have stretch marks in places that I didn't even know could develop them, my body shape has changed, I have a ‘baby belly’ and a scar. My health has been, lets be honest rubbish...I’ve been on antibiotics since I delivered battling different illnesses and infections. But honestly every single change and health complications my body has gone through are 100% worth it; I now have a beautiful, perfect, loving little girl – and I would do it all again in a heartbeat. 

However being 100% truthful, did I think I’d be as confident as I am now? No, not at all. But I’ve learnt to love the ‘new me’ my dress size has increased from a 6-8 to a 10-12, I have saggy bits, extra fat in places, a scar and stretch marks – does that bother me, no. Every single change represents my pregnancy journey, my delivery; every change represents my daughter and I'm proud of that. I’ve been body shamed, had my body referred to as “grot” or “disgusting” that I shouldn’t show my body but keep it covered. I mean obviously these comments are made to knock my confidence, make me feel ashamed about how my body looks; little do they know there comment's have no negative effects, I guess I just feel sorry for them; one day they will have a girlfriend, wife or daughter who will go through those changes...and could even possibly have comments made about them, yet they still choose to push negative comments towards other women. I just don’t understand their logic?! 

It takes time to develop confidence, it doesn't happen over night – but learning to love your self, your journey and embrace your flaws is a start to learning to love you. 

Nursery tour

Perfect pink palace:

So I've been working on this post for quite a few week's now; a tour of Evangeline's nursery or bedroom. I wanted to ensure that I went as in depth into each item that I could, trying to remember where each item was bought and roughly how much the item cost to purchase. But of course without rambling on haha. Myself and Zachary have only recently started to add some girly touches into Evie’s nursery, we kept her gender as a surprise so therefore we were unable to create a room specified to her gender. However since her arrival we have been adding in little decorative items, creating a girlie kind of feel. Prior to her arrival her room was purely made up of neutral items, white walls with cream accessories throughout. But as mentioned above the odd pink item has been placed here and there. 

 So when you first enter Evangeline’s nursery to your left is her dresser or drawers. We purchased these from Ikea; there white and pretty simple – personally I love them and have them in both bedrooms in our house haha. The retail price is roughly £59.00 and they come in brown, white, oak and black. Myself and Zachary wanted to keep the nursery bright and inviting and felt that white furniture would be best suited for this. Each of the Evangeline’s drawers are in ag order I guess you could say... in the top drawer are some of her newborn items, the 2nd draw her 0-1 month, 3rd 0-3 and finally her 4th 3-6; the drawers are in rotation as Evie outgrows clothes the ages move up – hopefully that make sense haha. 
On top of her drawers we’ve placed her baby book, this was purchased at John Lewis and is accompanied by a decorative pink flower pot that was bought at hobby craft. We placed these items here as they are simple, cute and add something girly to the chest of drawers. Also, for the first few weeks after Evie had arrived I placed her changing mat on top of here allowing me to change her without having to bend, multi purpose haha! (C-section mummy!) As you can see in the picture there is a lovely mirror located on the wall above the drawers, this was bought by my partner from either eBay or amazon – I couldn't find one I liked in any shops haha, I'm a tad fussy! 

 Next is a cabinet/cupboard that we purchased from B&Q I believe we paid around £40 give or take a few pounds, we were able to chose the amount of shelves/drawers, whether we had doors and the colours allowing us to personalise it. We picked 4 shelves, 2 with doors – one pink, one white and 2 without doors. In the top cupboard or shelve we have placed her bath washes, shampoos and lotions keeping them all separate from other items and stood upright preventing products leaking! Below this shelve we have all of her ‘grooming or health kits’ I guess you could say, so basically her thermometers, sponges, cotton wool, nail clippers, brushes all those types of goodies; we also keep her muslins in here too! And the last 2 shelves contain wipes and nappies. 
On top of this cabinet we have also added some more girly touches, her name shortened down which my sister bought for her, 2 bunny nightlights that I purchased from primark I believe they were around £1- £1.50, bargain right?! We also placed a pair of shoes we bought from mothercare which I love, if they done them in my size I’d quite happily wear them ahha! And in the back there is another decorative flower pot from hobby craft. 

 We placed these buntings that were bought from home bargains on her wall creating a vintage feel, and increasing the girly feel within her nursery. I love the way they look! 

 Our cot/crib was a gift from my parents, so therefore I haven't a clue where it was purchased. However it’s pretty simple, plain white and can also be used as a bed once Evangeline is old enough, which is fab as we don’t have to worry about purchasing a new one – unless of course we need to. Inside of our cot we have a neutral bumper, with little bears on; again we were very lucky and received this as a gift from my parents. The bumper set was purchased at mothercare. Within the cot we have several teddies, the giraffe and rhino hand made by my mum, and the others given as gifts to Evangeline when she was born. On the side I've placed a personalised blanket that was given again as a gift for Evie from my sister – purchased from the cuddle company. Also we have placed a few little boxes of toys under her cot, ready for her when she's old enough. 

Our mobile matches the bumper set, neutral in colours and extremely cute! 

 These curtains were in the same range at mothercare alongside our bumper set. They have a lovely simple pattern with little hedgehogs and mice on. Are a creamy yellow colour and prevent just the right amount of light coming through without making the room dark – which is perfect for the bright airy nursery we were going for. Not to mention, there really cute too! 

 We wanted to add some detail to her windowsill, so therefore we’ve place 3 items. A little wooden elephant holding a pink heart that reads “don’t forget I love you.”  I purchased this from Sainsburys I  believe from what I can remember I paid roughly £4 for it. Along side the little elephant we have placed, yes you guessed it – another little decorative flower pot haha. This particular one has a little heart around the vase which says “with love.xxx” it was purchased at the same time as the elephant and was again around £4. Upon her windowsill is also a lovely fabric floral picture frame, which currently has her scan picture in; but I will be changing this to a picture of Evangeline, myself and Zachary – all these items add that girly touch we were going for. 

 The wall next to the window is where we decided to hang my ‘bump cast’ that my mum and sister helped me do – I have written a blog post talking about this if you are interested I’ll put the link below this paragraph! I felt this was a lovely touch to personalise her nursery, and something that we can all cherish in the future. 

 We bought Evie’s wardrobe from Ikea, the retail price is £80 which is great for the quality and overall product! Although I hope to replace her wardrobe for a more expensive one in the future, but it’ll do the job for now! Within her wardrobe much like drawers her wardrobe is in age order, at the moment she has her newborn, 0-1, 0-3 and a few older items. Although most are stored within the boxes located at the bottom of her wardrobe. Identical to the drawers, as she grows out of her clothing it’ll be replaced with larger sizes. On the door of her wardrobe she has a little poem on a little hanging wooden sign. 

On her nursery floor we have laid out a pastel pink and white rug (picture isn’t great, it's quite hard to take a photo of a rug, haha) I bought this rug from a shop named Tiger, I paid between £10-£15 for it, who doesn't love a bargain!? Although it doesn't look or feel cheap which is great! 

Lastly we have a bear door hanger, this was given as a gift to match the bumper set, curtains, lampshade and mobile by my parents. It's for nappy storage which is extremely handy, and is very cute. As Evangeline grows older we can use this item to store teddies or books, so it's multi purpose; which is marvellous! 

I hope that you’ve enjoyed looking around Evie's nursery. I love the overall look of Evangeline’s nursery, the simple,  neutral theme with pops of pink. A perfect pink palace for my perfect little princess. 

Fertility complications

Falling pregnant:

My perfect little family. <3

I wanted to do a post talking about my problem’s with fertility, I’ve very briefly mentioned the subject in previous post's and I guess I’ve avoided going in depth about the whole situation not only on my blog, but also in ‘real life’, it’s not really a subject that tends to be bought up in daily conversations – but due to me kind of discussing it in others post’s I thought it was time to actually talk about my struggles with fertility. As I am going in depth there will be some gross bit's and chats about periods. (Just a warning). 

It all started when I was around 13, the problems didn't start instantly – I had been having my monthly cycle for nearly 2 years before any issues cropped up. Your probably thinking “well how did you come to find something wasn't right?” being completely honest I didn't realise that anything was wrong; my cycle was my cycle and had been the same since it began at 11. However each time I was in complete and utter agony and it came down to when ‘mother nature’ decided to visit - my cycle was very irregular, it would result in me being in a ball on the floor, violently vomiting unable to keep anything down and going through several pads an hour (lovely right?) Due to this I was having quite a bit of time off school – which isn’t great…obviously.. 
Fast forward a few months, after many visits to the doctors I was finally referred to a gynaecologist in hope to resolve the situation – although this wasn’t the case being completely honest I was just placed on several different contraceptives and given a possible diagnosis of ‘endometriosis’. In actual fact the contraceptives I was given made everything a whole lot worse, so I decided to stop them and continue on with the ordinary theme of my cycle, agony, vomiting and being unable to leave my house due to numerous pad changes in a short space of time – how fun! 
Moving on a few years to when I turned 18, things had improved they weren’t great but the vomiting had stopped and instead I was just extremely nauseous during each cycle; but the pain and irregularities were still present. :(  
So after around a total of 5 years of on going problems, I finally decided to see another doctor at my local GP surgery, hoping they could help she made the decision to refer me to a different gynaecologist; amazingly this particular gynaecologist was the person who performed my mums caesarean to deliver me, crazy right?! 
Anyway after many appointments with him, many discussions and scans he finally came down to the conclusion that the only way to discover what was causing the issues was to perform a laparoscopy so he could have a better look at what was going on inside – a laparoscopy is a medical procedure that allows a surgeon to look inside your abdomen or pelvis without having to create a large incision...the thought of going under the knife at the time petrified me; but at least I would finally have answers! 

The day of my surgery/laparoscopy finally came; I was accompanied by my mum and Zachary to the hospital. I remember pretty much the whole build up to the operation and after – we were sat in the waiting room at the 'William Harvey Hospital' waiting for my name to be called and for me to be taken down to theatre, I was the youngest person in the waiting room, the other ladies looked almost baffled as to why I was there, finally my name was called after hours of waiting, I said goodbye to Zachary at the door of the theatre and burst into tears – my mum came in with me and gave me a big cuddle, the IV/cannula was placed into my hand and I fell asleep...after the procedure I woke up a bit worse for wear to be honest, I stayed at the hospital for a few hours and was discharged that afternoon; I thought I would mention that the operation and recovery wasn’t bad at all, just slightly uncomfortable – just in case anyone reading this post is scheduled to have the procedure done. Good luck! ♡ 

A few week's after my appointment I returned to the hospital for a follow up appointment and the results of my surgery. I remember the conversation regarding my results as clear as day. So unfortunately they found several problems during the procedure, the first thing they discovered and diagnosed was endometriosis which is something to do with tissue and the lining of your womb - they also discovered that my fallopian tube on the left hand side was severally narrow due to scaring and that my ovary also on the left hand side was affected by the scaring – therefor meaning that it may not be working; and they couldn't look more in depth into it just in case they caused permanent damage if it was working. My gynaecologist couldn't tell me for sure whether my right ovary was working either – although due to it’s appearance he said he wasn't convinced it was. 
I was told that the possibility of me ever having children or conceiving naturally was slim, and because of the narrowing in my fallopian tube I was at a high risk of having ectopic pregnancies – I was booked into a fertility clinic for the January (my procedure was in the March/April before) and due to start fertility treatment at the same time... I'll never forget that conversation, after all, all I wanted was my own family; I was heartbroken. He also informed me that starting to try for a baby straight away would be a great plan as the longer I waited the worse the scaring would become and the chance's became slimmer and slimmer.

That evening I sat down with Zachary (and my mum – I was an emotional wreck so needed her assistance haha) and discussed with him the results of my operation and what the consultant had suggested. He was beyond supportive, so understanding, so caring, I couldn’t be any luckier. 

A few months later my period was late, I didn't think anything of it – after all my period was never on time. A week after my period was due my sister convinced me to take a test, to be honest I didn't want to get my hopes up, I remember placing the test on my desk wrapped in tissue and under the packaging, timing the minutes that were stated on the package – I was repeating to myself “don’t get your hopes up, it’s only been a few months” I picked up the test, slowly removing the tissue and there they were, two faint pink lines; I couldn’t believe my eyes I called my sister up stairs and into my room asking her to double check I wasn't seeing things, before we headed over sainsburys to buy several more tests. After all the tests came back positive I rang Zachary to tell him the news (he was at work) I was crying my eyes out, filled with so many emotions, I was happy, scared, surprised, over joyed and relieved. I was pregnant, my dream of having my own family was coming true. (Then of course we told our parents haha).

At 12 week's we announced my pregnancy to extended family and friends, we posted our announcement on Facebook (the place were everyone announces there pregnancy haha)

“After being told earlier this year that the possibility of having children was slim and that there was a chance it would never happen. I am thrilled to announce that myself and Zachary are expecting our first baby. I’m over the moon and cannot put into words how happy I am.” 

The support, congratulations and well wishes we received were amazing, so loving and kind. Unfortunately there were a few particular individuals, our 'friends' who were the complete opposite and on seeing our announcement decided to instantly text me accusing me of ‘copying them’ or ‘falling pregnant to trap Zachary’ and accused me of ‘lying about my fertility problems’ great friends, right? 
Other than those negative comments every single person that saw our announcement were and still are extremely supportive and happy for us; and we couldn’t be more grateful. 

I uploaded a post titled “love at first sight” talking more in depth into finding out about being pregnant and my pregnancy journey – so if that interests you, be sure to check it out. 

Soohu sling

Soohu sling:

Using the sling in the 'Easy tiger' position.

So recently I was on the hunt for the perfect carrier or baby sling on the market. A few months ago Zachary and I purchased the ‘Chicco GO baby carrier', it's an amazing product, very well made...however Evangeline is way to small (she's quite petite) so until she's a little bigger carrying her in it would be unsafe  – although it does state you can use it from 0+ months so it's great for all ages, however we will definitely be using this carrier in the future; so its was money well spent. 

So as I was saying, we’ve spent quite a while hunting for one that we felt was 'perfect' for our use and of course well suited to Evie. We trialled a few different types of carriers and slings; personally I found some of them a bit to complex and took a long time to ‘set up’ if you will; and I would much rather use something simple…so yeah, we were on the hunt for something simple, quick and easy, that didn't cost an arm and leg to purchase – we finally  came across the ‘Soohu sling’ which is almost like an upgrade of the ‘baba sling’ and is manufactured by a company called “WMM – We made me”.

What attracted us to this particular sling was the simplicity of the product and how easy it is to use, the most complex thing you have to do before using it is picking what shoulder you would like to carry the sling on and what position you'd like baby to be in.
Before using the sling theres a small amount of preparation which I'll talk a little about, so quite simply this is done by picking what shoulder you'll be using and the correct position for your baby, my preference is my left shoulder and the position 'Easy tiger" (i've spoken about positions further down)…moving on - you clip together the safety buckle, then clip together the adjustment buckle. Placing the sling over your head and onto your chosen shoulder, where there is a looped adjustment strap so you can safely tighten or loosen the sling without undoing the safety buckles before placing baby into the sling...I believe this can also be done whilst baby is within the sling too. There is a large padded shoulder strap ensuring that you are comfortable at all times whilst wearing the sling – which is great, because there's nothing worse than an achy shoulder! And that's all there is to the preparation, simple right? 

So discussing the positions there are 5 carrying positions allowing you to continue the use of the Soohu sling at a variety of ages. The 5 positions are Easy tiger – cradle carry: 0-6 months or 8-17.2 lbs, Coyote cradle – breastfeeding, Koala cuddle – parent facing: 6-24 months or 17.2 – 35 lbs, March hare – world facing: 6-12 months or 17.2+ lbs and Side saddle – hip carry: 6-24 months or 17.2 – 35 lbs. Due to Evie’s age and weight we use the ‘Easy tiger’ carrying position – and she loves it. 
Your also able to breastfeed using two of the above positions – Easy tiger and Coyote cradle. 

We purchased the ‘Soohu sling’ at mothercare – the retail price was £49.99, which in my opinion is an amazing price. The product comes with a storage bag that pulls shut and has a handle, enabling you to easily place the sling into your car boot, a cupboard, or baby bag preventing the sling becoming dusty or dirty when it’s not being used; or it can simply be held in your hands. Along side the sling comes an instruction manual located in the bag, (I think everything has an instruction manual to be honest haha) with easy illustrations and tips on how to correctly use the sling – which personally I find extremely useful as you can look at the pictures alongside the writing to ensure your doing things correctly, there are also some interesting facts located throughout the book which are on the topic of baby wearing; which is pretty nifty. 

I love everything about this sling. I love how simple it is to use, and how it can be used throughout a number of years. It’s an amazing product and worth every penny. 

Our little family

1 month old: 

I love my little family.

So as I write this its ‘Sunday 7th August 2016’ although when I upload this it’ll probably be Thursday and Evie is 5 weeks old – However today, the day I type this, Evangeline is exactly 1 month old, 1 month old; 31 days old, where has the time gone?...it feels like it was just yesterday that myself and Zachary were preparing our bag’s the night before we were due to go into hospital for my caesarian – checking thoroughly through each one to ensure we had everything we needed, removing item's from the already packed bag’s, checking them against a list that I had written out – verifying we had the items noted down, 6 baby grows (although they were all to big for Evangeline), 6 vests, a pack of nappies, Evie’s first outfit, scratch mittens, formula in case we required it – and we did, so it was lucky we took some and the list goes on; and for me, slippers, pjs, toiletries and all the usual belongings written on ‘what to pack in your hospital bag’ lists on the internet, before returning all items neatly and in order as to what would be needed first into the bag’s.. 

It feels like it was just yesterday that we were on our way to the hospital and heading down to theatre to finally meet her. Like it was just yesterday that she was placed on my chest, the first time I held her... and she's already a month old; this past month has been the best month of my entire life! Becoming a mummy, being a mummy to our beautiful, loving, intelligent little girl is the most amazing, rewarding thing to ever happen to me. I love her so much, I’m besotted by her. And of course Zachary feels the same too. I love our little family, our little girl more than words can describe, more than anything. 

Although this month has also been the toughest; unfortunately my recovery from my caesarean hasn’t been as smooth as I hoped, I’ve had nonstop medication and antibiotics which hasn’t been great – obviously. Unfortunately I’ve had an infection in my uterus – which has only just healed, an infection in my incision and now a problem with my liver...great right? Even though my health hasn’t been spectacular I wouldn’t change it for the world. Evangeline is worth every ounce of pain I’ve been through, every dip in my recovery and I’d go through it all again for her in a heartbeat. 

We've had a pretty hectic weekend actually searching high and low for a suitable car to buy, I mean the car we have is great, everything works, it looks good, nothing is wrong with it – thankfully, only problem is it only has 2 doors...so getting Evangeline and her car seat in and out is a bit of a workout haha. We had a coffee with Zachary’s dad today in a lovely cafe called ‘muffin break’, which was nice; before browsing around the shops and heading to dinner at my parents house; then settling down for the evening back at our place. 

As I sit here and type this, Zachary is sat cuddling with Evie fast asleep in he's arms; the TV is on in the background; celebrity big brother playing. Whilst I sit here working on a couple of blog posts, cherishing every little moment with both of them (time flies by so fast) – and I couldn't be any luckier, I love my little family so very, very much. 

My changing bag:

What I carry:

I thought that I’d do a post going in depth as to what I have in my baby/changing bag - I found these posts in particular, very helpful when it came down to packing Evie’s changing bag for the first time ready for our first trip out of the house, I wanted to ensure that I wasn't packing unnecessary things; which is were these post’s came in handy. Although in saying that the contents of our bag changes depending on where we’re going, what we're doing and how long we're doing it for. 
Now I'm rambling...regardless – I hope that you find this post some what interesting (the contents of my bag isn't that exciting lol) and helpful. 

Our bag is from “Cath Kidston”. Our bag retails in at £75.00 and is worth every penny! The whole bag is made out of 100% cotton canvas shiny oilcloth – meaning you are able to wipe the entire interior and exterior clean. Our bag came in a matching set which included: 
• A bottle case 
• Flannel 
• and a changing mat 
Within the bag is an internal zip case where I keep all of my essential items and things that I need on a regular basis – this case enables me to keep all of my items separate from the items that are needed for Evangeline. There are many great features to our bag which include a adjustable carrying strap, an elasticated loop located within the bag to hold bottles up right and a pocket in the front to discretely store your changing mat. 
Our bag in particular has a white background with a pink, red and blue floral pattern – keeping it simple and perfect for any gender. 

Moving away from all the features and accessorise of our baby bag I’ll now get onto talking about the contents and what I like to carry... 

For Evangeline: 

• 1 changing pad or mat – Our changing mat came in the set with the bag. It has the same design or pattern as the exterior of the changing bag; and can be stored easily and discreetly in the front pocket or can be easily placed inside of the zip compartment, being easily accessed at all times. 
It is made of the same oilcloth fabric as the bag therefore any “spillages” are easily cleaned and wiped away. The changing mat is padded on the back ensuring your little one is comfortable whilst being changed. We carry a changing mat in her bag as we feel placing Evie on this whilst changing her is much more hygienic than placing her on a public changing table; it can also be used on the go. 

• 1 pack of water wipes – Myself and Zachary prefer to use these wipes when changing Evie over standard ‘baby wipes’, there made up of 99.9% water and 0.1% fruit extract, being 100% natural and therefore being much more gentle on Evangeline’s skin. 

• Pampers size 2 nappies – In our bag we carry roughly 15 nappies per journey that we go on, however depending on where we are going or how long we will be going for the number of nappies will increase: we'd rather have to many than to little! 

• Spare clothing – This is extremely important, ensuring that we have spare clothing for Evie just in case of any ‘poop explosions’ or a change of weather. Within the bag there is always 2 spare vests, a t-shirt (long and short sleeve), trousers or leggings, with socks and a hat. 

• A jumper or cardigan – Similar to above, we carry a jumper or cardigan purely in case the weather changes; allowing us to guarantee that Evangeline is kept at the ideal temperature at all times. 

• 1 pack of Milton antibacterial wipes – These are another essential, they are perfect for cleaning pretty much everything, they can be used on a variety of things, all surfaces, teats or dummies, the changing bag or mat, practically everything – keeping everything sterile. 

• 1 50 ml carex complete antibacterial hand gel and 1 100ml Milton antibacterial hand gel –
We carry and use these regularly, after every nappy change, every toilet trip and before every feed, this prevents the chance of passing on or spreading any bacteria or germs to Evangeline; again like mentioned above keeping everything sterile...(I know, germaphobe's right!?) 

• 1 pack of little angle nappy sacks – These are in our changing bag for the obvious reason of placing Evangeline’s used/dirty nappies... we also use these to store any wet or unsuitable clothing before placing the items in the changing bag; keeping everything clean and tidy. 

• 1 15g metanium barrier oitment alongside 1 10g sudocrem – We haven't yet need to use these particular products, however we like to carry these just in case there comes a time that there use is required. 

• a spare blanket – This is for the same reason as the spare jumper or cardigan; in order to avoid Evangeline becoming cold if the weather turns cold or breezy; and as we live in England these blankets come in handy on a regular basis haha. 

• 2 muslin cloths – These are used when burping Evie to prevent any spit up becoming part of an outfit, although these don't always prevent that haha! Either way, we carry them to try and avoid the above situation from happening lol. 

• 1 pack of sterilised dummies (2 dummies with the box)– Evangeline loves to have a dummy when she is falling asleep, therefore we carry a small box that has been put through her steriliser that holds 2 dummies, just in case one is dropped or lost – we always have a spare for her! 

• tommy tippee bottles and travel storage pots – Similar to the nappies, we always carry 2 bottles and 2 formula pots on any journey this allows us to be able to make up a bottle when required; however depending on where we are going and how long for, the number of bottles and travel pots will increase. 

For me – a majority of my items are kept in the zip compartment within the zip case, making them easily accessed when needed. 

• my purse – I carry this as it holds the important things I need, for example my driving license, bank card and cash. 

• sanitary towels – lets not be discrete I carry these at all times, because sometimes mother nature likes to pay me a visit off schedule haha. 

• travel hair brush, mirror and hairbands – my own little ‘glam’ items, to help me look a little more presentable. 

•  asthma pump – I have asthma, this is an essential for me as I never no when I may be required to use it. "It aint easy being wheezy". 

• my phone and keys – I use these on a daily basis, so therefore keep them safe within our changing bag, at easy reach when there needed. 

• deodorant and perfume – because lets face it, nobody wants to be smelly haha. 

Whether your looking for inspiration as to what to carry or just being nosey haha ;). 
I hope you found this in depth look into my changing bag useful and helpful and I’ll talk to you in my next post.
