Happy Wednesday everyone  Welcome to this months instalment of Money Saving Tips, I have to say that since starting my blog again these have been some of my most popular posts and I completely understand why with the amount of price rises we are seeing everywhere at the moment. As highly requested, below are some practical tips to hopefully help you with the cost of your food bill each month and I hope you find them useful at a time that is had for so many.  Create a meal plan  The first step when it comes to saving money on your food shop is to know what you are going into the shop for. We have all been there where we leave the house with the best intentions to buy milk and instead come home after spending £80 on snacks and things we don’t need and we also forgot the milk that we originally went in for. This is where meal planning will save you money and it will also save you time, so make sure to sit down once a w...

Today I have another  Beauty Pie  review that I am really excited to share with you all. This next product is a cleansing balm named the “Super Healthy Skin Hot Oil Double Cleaning Balm”, now, you will probably know that most luxury skincare brands have a cleansing balm so for many of you who may be skincare lovers you may have tried quite a few different cleansing balms in your time and I think that is why I gravitated towards this product as one of the first from the brand that I wanted to try, as I felt like I had a lot to compare it to.  As you will be able to see, like all of the  Beauty Pie  products, the packaging is simple but effective and would look wonderful in any bathro...

  Click Here To Save £10 On Your First Beauty Pie Order Happy Saturday everyone, I hope you are all having a wonderful weekend so far. Today is set to be a heatwave here on the south coast of the UK and I had all intentions to be outside gardening from early this morning and soaking up the rays but this morning has started off cloudy and so I have taken this opportunity to sit outside and slowly write this post whilst amongst nature and working at a slower pace whilst enjoying my morning coffee.  This is the first in what I feel like will be many instalments of reviews for the many different   Beauty Pie products I either already have or have saved in my basket ready to purchase or that I have already bought and a currently trying.  I have always been a huge lover of skincare and when I turned thirty, which was now three years ago I really noticed a huge difference in the natural radiance and quality of my skin and I knew it was time to ramp up my skincare routine. O...

Welcome back everyone!  I am here today with another instalment of my practical money saving tips and advice to hopefully help you all save some pennies at a time that seems like it is affecting everyone. Please do let me know if any of these have helped you if you try them or if you do them already. Please also feel free to use the comments section as a place to speak to each other and share your own money saving ideas.  1. Use the reward systems that are already in place within the things you already pay for!  This tip is something that in the past I have been so totally shit at, it wasn't until very recently that I even joined up to 02's airtime rewards and I have been with them for years. This is the perfect example where each month I pay my phone bill and never save any money, this reward however gives me the opportunity to now save money on my phone bill just by shopping at the places I already do. I buy things in places like Boots as an example and o2 have hundreds...

  Happy Tuesday  Everyone and welcome to my garden.  Today I wanted to create a post for you to share one of the little luxuries in life that I now enjoy the most, my garden! If you'd have told me a year ago that I would have been writing that I probably would have never believed you and maybe laughed a little. I have always been the kind of person in previous years to say "stick some faux grass down and keep the garden paved and plain, the less fuss the better".  That however was in my old house where my garden was the size on a postage stamp and I felt really uninspired. If I am being truly honest and reflecting inwards the garden space in my old house could have been really beautiful and I could have created one of those awe inspiring tiny gardens but that was a house I had from a past relationship that I was desperately trying to leave and I invested very little time and energy into it as it was a place I was desperate to escape and so I treated it as such, poor ...

  Happy March Everyone and welcome back to The Luxury Mum!  Firstly I would like to say thank you to you all for your interaction and amazing feedback on my most recent Budgeting post and for those asking, yes there will be more budgeting posts coming. Today's post is a request from a few of your that read my budgeting  post and wanted some money saving tips that I feel work and that I use. I will try to make this a monthly post going forward if it is something that you enjoy and find helpful.  1. Create A Budget & Stick To It This one will be obvious to any of you that read my most recent budgeting post so I will keep this short and sweet but the first step in saving money is to know where your money is going. If you want to use my budgeting spreadsheet you can find it on this post by clicking  here. 2. Check Your Bank Account Often I personally don't know anyone that doesn't have instant online banking and ...
