Valentines Giveaway Winner

Congratulations Karen Kelly you are the Valentines Giveaway Winner!

You have won a fabulous pamper hamper filled with gorgeous goodies! Thanks for entering and sharing your most romantic moment with us, love it!

My most romantic moment was when my {now} hubby left me a ‘care parcel” after our first date, with everything I liked! Coffee, smaarties, roses {well, candles shaped like roses} and more.. or, wait, maybe rather our proposal, he bought me smaarties for breakfast {total addict!} and the ring was hidden inside. I thought I won a smaarties competition of sorts, but it was way more exciting! ~ Karen

You will also be contacted via email to confirm your details, please respond to the email with your address details. Thank you to everyone who entered! I loved reading all your lovely romantic moments!

a beautiful life

Hi everyone I thought I would give you a bit of a heads up on a website that I am in the process of developing! At the beginning of 2013 I realised that I had come to a bit of a cross roads, in my life and blogging career. Although fulfilling to a point, I found that some of the blogging I was doing was not meeting my need to be creative and express myself. This called for a bit of introspection and re-assessing my long-term goals going forward.

After some very hard thinking and soul-searching I realised that I needed to go in a more creative direction. Those who know me well, know that I have a passionate love of food and this is generally how I express myself, creatively, on a day-to-day basis. Another passion, vague obsession actually, that I have developed is photography – so what better way to express myself than through food-photography.

At the beginning of last year I had a vision of starting an on-line style magazine. At this early point of development, I was uncertain what direction this website would follow but I started it anyway. Well a year later I have found out exactly what it was destined to be, I think the concept was there all along, I simply needed time to realise it!

Without further ado, I would like to introduce you to “a beautiful life”! Yes, you guessed it, at the heart of this website is my love of Food and Photography with a bit of travel thrown in for good measure. If you already follow my recipes this will be their new home, I will not remove anything from Super Mom Lifestyle(SML) but I will be publishing all of my new recipes, food-related reviews etc on “a beautiful life”.

I will in no way be closing down SML, “a beautiful life” will simply be a new addition to the family!

I would love you to pop over and have a look at a “beautiful life”, check it out and see what you think. I would love your feedback, it is still very much a work in progress and I am learning new things each day, which is the most wonderful part of this journey.

You will not find any poncey over the top recipes on the site, I am aiming to share my love of food with you – fresh ingredients, simple easy to follow recipes, delicious food – cooked from the heart – MY JOURNEY WITH FOOD!

I would also like to develop a readers area on the website, where readers can share any recipes that they love but I will let you know when that is launched. To keep up to date with new recipes, news and foodie events please pop over and follow “a beautiful life” on Facebook and Twitter 🙂

With Love Products

I love the amazing local products that I am encountering across this beautiful land of ours! A very recent find were these beautiful candles by “With Love Products”

With Love Products are hand crafted with organic and natural materials carefully chosen to uplift and enhance your environment. As you can see in the photo’s I took, the packaging is gorgeous, capturing the essence of LOVE!

Products are shipped locally and internationally and they offer a secure online ordering system, but the best part is that a portion of each product sold goes to assist a child in need. So you can shop with joy knowing that your purchase improves the lives of many special children.

With Love Candles are made with raw Beeswax, which is sourced direct from Beekeepers. The Beeswax is heated to filter out natural organic material like vegetation etc. but it is not bleached or diluted with normal wax. Beeswax releases natural Negative Ions into the air, which remove unnatural chemicals and harmful elements. Beeswax has a rich fragrance and the Essential Oils are used subtly enhance this fragrance. One of the main features, is that our Beeswax Candles burn for much longer than normal Candles.

With Love Products have very kindly offered all Super Mom readers 10% off their first purchase in February 2013. All you need to do is add the Voucher “With Love 10” on checkout, when you make a purchase. If you would like to view their whole range of products and place an order pop over to their website here.
