Pink Lining Yummy Mummy Changing Bag Review

As a person who loves handbags (who doesnt) I knew that I needed something special as my baby changing bag. I get bored of bags very quickly but I knew that keep buying different baby bags wasn't a option as I would soon be poor lol. So very early on into my pregnancy I quickly decided on a Yummy Mummy due to their cute and quirky design. These bags come in lots of different seasonal designs and I knew that I liked the cute Bee and Stardust print. The only problem was that they are £79 eek and with it being our first baby we still had lots to buy.Buy Here

I kept an eye out on websites and eventually through Bounty on Facebook, Precious Little Ones had them on sale at £45 so when this offer came on I was there! If you keep a look out they do do these sales quite frequently in the Pink Lining bags but it's usually the less popular Mama Bebe bags but look around as they do come up. You can usually buy last seasons designs in the sale from stockists as well.

I knew that this bag was a investment as it will have to go through tonnes of daily wear and tear and it is built for that. It is made from wipe clean waterproof material and has very big sturdy handles.
It features pockets for everything which to a organisation freak like me it was heaven. A pocket for everything that's the dream lol. So my baby is now 4 months old and I feel like I have had a good amount of time to test this bag out and form a opinion. I even used it as my hospital bag.
Here are it's features:

* Designated nappy pockets
* Bottle pockets that apparently keeps it warm for a good amount of time. (I've not tested this as I breastfeed).
* Keys holder clip on a piece of elastic - perfect reach to the front door without needing to unclip.
* Pen pocket. 

* Detachable mirror 

* Lots of internal pockets for your stuff including a zip pocket and front flap pocket for easy access to things such as your phone or bus ticket. No fussing about. 

* My favourite thing is that it comes with a good quality cushioned nappy changing mat! (with cute cupcakes on) As even when you go to places with their own changer I dont want my baby possibly lying in someone else's filth so I put my mat down. It is wipe clean and can be used anywhere such as the floor for a quick and comfortable change.
* It comes with its own zip plastic bag. This is useful for if my baby has been sick on her top and it's minging. I can change her and put the dirty top zipped away in here away from the rest of my bag.

Overall this bag is a winner! 5/5 from me.
Its very practical and aesthetically pleasing.
I also find that they keep their value well if I ever wanted to sell it on. I would have paid the full £79 as I do think that it is worth it but if it's on sale then it's a bonus. I find that I get lots of compliments when I'm out and about with it to.

My Birthday Wishlist - I'm 27 Next Week

So I'm 27 next week eek! and seeing as I'm nearly 6 months pregnant I haven't bought myself anything apart from 'essential' maternity clothes in a while :-P  All my wishlists are now 100% made up of things for the baby as babies need so many things and most are expensive and if I've not been buying those items then it's been things to decorate the nursery. But as it's my birthday I feel like I deserve something just for me personally which is still hard to do 100% without feeling guilty. So here goes:

Zara Office Mini City Bag - Grey £29.99
I remember wanting this in black ages ago but somehow I forgot about it but now it has come back to the forefront of my mind. It is simple and stunning. I love being organised and having a pocket for everything so this is what I want!

L'occitane Make Up Bag £6
I love the smallish size of these and they come in lots of pretty designs. I plan to use it in my Zara bag to store all my beauty essentials to keep my bag organised and tidy. You can pick them up on eBay for approximately £6

Benefit How To Look The Best At Everything Kit - Light £25.50
At the moment I haven't been bothering with make up but now that I am starting to feel like my normal self again I realise that the whole pregnancy glow thing is a myth and my skin isn't looking to great. This will help to cover any blemishes and help me fake some nice skin.

Burts Bees Mama Bee - Leg and Foot Cream £12.99
I love Burts Bees alot and I remember that they used to have a Mama Bee gift set but I can't find it but this is the product that I would most like to try from the range. I remember the coconut foot moisturiser being my favourite ever so I would like to give this ago.

Pink Linings Yummy Mummy Changing Bag £79.99
Yes this isn't 100% for me and is abit of a cheat item but I really want to indulge on it. I know that it is expensive and that I already have a nice Cosatto changing bag to match my pram but just look how beautiful it is. It also comes with a nappy changing matt and has lots of inside pockets and special storage areas for everything baby related. I am a sucker for bag organisation and this is just so pretty. It comes in loads of gorgeous designs but I love this Bee one best. I would feel proud to carry this bag around and as a first time mum I feel that this bag would be a great help.
