5 Things I couldn't live without

Modified: Sep 14, 2018 · Published: Jul 18, 2011 by admin · This post may contain affiliate links or sponsored content

Kates listography this week is 5 products you couldn’t live without. So here goes.

1. GHD’s. Thanks to my GHD’s and assuming my hair is relatively clean I can have hair fit to leave the house with in less than 5 minutes!! Essential when you have 3 little ones who don’t appreciate Mummy taking more than 5 seconds to get ready to leave. There are usually cries of ‘What on earth are you still doing Mummy?’.

2. Clinique powder foundation. Again super fast to apply, and very forgiving if you miss bits. Covers up a myriad of facial blemishes!!

3. iphone. Essential for keeping up with twitter and facebook on the go. Also now a handy tool for entertaining the kids with games in the doctors or a long post office queue!

4. Lego. Keeps the kids entertained for hours on end, and the duplo is even safe to play with near the baby. ( no small choking hazards )

5. Dishwasher. Without which I would be forever washing dishes!

    Totally with you on the GHD’s and the washing machine. Now thinking I definitely need to invest in an iPhone and some Clinique powder foundation too. I think my life would be infinitely better with such products!

      I do love my iphone and I was very skeptical to start with. You are looking pretty great even without Clinique though :-))

        also, I couldn’t find mine yesterday….hence the lack of make up!

    I don’t know how I didn’t remember the dishwasher for my list – without it I would BE the dishwasher and that would be unacceptable. Great list. x

    Glad to see GHD’s are the top of your list too! greatest invention. I missed iPhone off my list, am lost without it.

    I don’t do dishes. I told my husband that before we got married and in ten years I think I’ve washed the dishes less than 20 times.

    Love the list.

      wow, does your husband do them them?

  7. I'm So Fancy

    Well, I didn’t include dishwasher because it was “products” not “staff.” 🙂
