Now I know that macaroni and cheese is a huge thing in North America, but I’ve only been living here for just over a year! So this was the FIRST macaroni and cheese I’ve ever made! Woahhhh!!!!!
And it was sooooo damn good!!!
I made the whole box, planning to only eat half! But nope! I couldn’t do it! I ate the entire thing!!! It was soooooo cheesy and you can definitely tell it contains REAL cheese!
• 80% organic ingredients
• No artificial flavours, synthetic colours or preservatives
• Contains real cheese & milk ingredients
It only takes 10 minutes for the perfect snack/meal! I made mine with regular milk, not butter or yoghurt! I’ll be grabbing myself some more of these for sure!

What They Say:
-The hydrating light formula with shea butter, natural avocado and jojoba oils has a pleasantly smooth texture that instantly melts into your lips. Leaves no greasy residue and keeps your lips moisturized for 24h.
What I Say:
Just like my skin, my lips are often very dry and I have to constantly rely on lip balms. Nivea has always been my go-to for this and I’ve never been disappointed. Such a great product at such a great price. And with regular use, I never have to worry about dry, cracked lips. And this thing even has SPF15 in it! I carry it with me everywhere and couldn’t be happier with it! Awesome!

What They Say:
-Infused with Nivea deep care serum and soothing provitamin B5, it protects your skin barrier to prevent moisture loss.
-Used regularly it gives you a comfortable feeling, relieving your dry skin from roughness and tightness for 72 hours.
What I Say:
I have very dry skin that often feels uncomfortable and tight, with many lotions only providing me with very temporary relief. Not only does this Repair & Care lotion make my skin feel smoother, but the rich formula makes my skin feel better than ever. I’ll be sat by the pool and unable to stop touching my silky smooth legs. And the scent is spot-on! You know it’s a Nivea product straight away by the scent, and my boyfriend is always complimenting me on it too! I am genuinely thrilled by the results of this product! What a find!

Finally!!!! I’ve found some teas that I like, (that aren’t your standard black tea with milk)!
I’ve tasted and tested so many different teas recently, and I couldn’t find one that I genuinely enjoyed drinking! (This includes another tea from the Tazo range.) But finally I’ve found not one, but two, that my taste buds have said yes to!
1️⃣ Matcha Mate Grapefruit - an invigorating green tea blended with yerba mate, matcha and a burst of refreshing grapefruit!
2️⃣ Turmeric Bliss - a radiant herbal blend of aromatic golden turmeric with sweet passionfruit!
I was excited to try these as two of my favourite flavours are matcha and turmeric. But I was amazed to find that it was the fruit flavours (grapefruit & passionfruit) that hit the palette the strongest. And what a beautiful combination!

After receiving a set of pens for Christmas as a gift, I was gutted when I went to use them and a few of them didn't work. My partner had purchased them from Michaels, but what with all the stores then closed due to Covid, we had no way of returning them and he hadn't kept the receipt. I emailed customer service to explain and gave details of approximately when the transaction was made and when, and they actually managed to find it and agreed to send me a gift card. It has taken 6 months or so to actually receive the card, but I'm grateful that I wasn't just forgotten about!
Now to find out how much is on the card! It didn't come with that information!

I was incredibly skeptical when I first received a sample of Schmidt’s Charcoal & Magnesium Deodorant!
I have used antiperspirant for as long as I can remember, so to switch to a regular deodorant was a daunting process. (For anyone who isn’t sure of the difference, an antiperspirant blocks sweat, whereas a deodorant simply protects against the odour of sweat.)
Surely it would feel awful to have wetness under your arms?!?
The first thing I noticed when opening this deodorant was the scent. If you’ve ever drank magnesium supplements you’ll notice the similarity. It was a pleasant smell and not too overpowering.
Secondly, I noticed the firmness. This is a lot firmer than a standard antiperspirant stick and you do have to hold it on your skin for a moment to allow the coconut oil to begin to melt.
How did it work?!?
I was genuinely shocked at how well this product did work! It turns out you don’t always sweat as much as you think and it did an awesome job of hiding any odour! It lost that magnesium smell once applied and simply left no scent at all!
So am I a convert?
It turns out that I’m pretty happy using this kind of product for my general days, but I’ll still be keeping hold of my antiperspirant as well. I happily used this product for a couple of weeks, but upon having to go to an important meeting that was causing me stress, I just couldn’t cope with the wetness under my arms and I had to add some antiperspirant. Stress sweat has always been a thing for me!
But it’s great knowing that I now have this option that I am happy with 95% of the time! This will allow me to at least use less of the aluminium salt formulas that make up our antiperspirants!

Don’t you just love it when a company decides to get all innovative?!?
I recently tried the TANITABS toothpaste tablets from Tanit! They’ve been trying to address the issue of the amount of plastic toothpaste tubes that are discarded into landfills each year. (It’s 1 billion tons by the way!) Their solution?!? To create solid toothpaste that can be stored in reusable glass jars or sent out in corn starch compostable bags.
I was already impressed!
How do you use them?!?
1. Take a single tablet and bite down.
2. Wet your toothbrush with water and brush against tablet pieces to create foam.
3. Brush around teeth and gums to cleanse the mouth and rinse out foam with water.
Ta-da!!!
And they’ve not just compressed a mint to create these! They’ve filled them with purposeful ingredients that do the job of a regular toothpaste.
• Nano-Hydroxyapatite - the main component of our teeth to repair, whiten and reduce sensitivity.
• Xylitol - reduces tooth decay and treats dry mouth.
• White Clay - whitens teeth and limits tartar.
• Tea Tree - for gum protection.
• Grapefruit Seed Extract - fights bad breath.
• Spearmint - for freshness. (This is the only thing I wish there was more of!)
Even if you’re not sure whether these would suit you, I urge everyone to at least try this kind of innovative product when they see it. Because we don’t need the whole world to change their habits to make a difference!
The tablet really does foam up enough to brush your teeth well! It's not over the top, just the right amount. My only concern was the lack of freshness after brushing my teeth! It was there, just not at the strength we are all used to. This wasn't a problem for me as I do use mouthwash afterwards. (It's a shame this was in a plastic bottle!) Sorry Tanit!

The Unbreak My Blonde range is designed to strengthen hair that has suffered chemical damage. Their key feature is the citric acid that the products contain. Citric acid closes the hair follicles making your hair soft and shiny. But it can also make your scalp more sensitive to the sun, so be careful. I personally had no issues with this, but there is a warning on the packet.
Overall, I did enjoy this product. There were no negatives to report. But I’m not sure I would pay the higher price tag when I find I get similar results from cheaper alternatives. It was just another shampoo and conditioner producing very neutral results.

The quality of this product is undeniable and I've fallen in love with the way it makes my skin feel!
This product is a little on the pricey end, but you only have to look into Amore Pacific for a few minutes to find the uniqueness and dedication to the products they produce!
The essence contains green tea extract, which is at the heart of the Amore Pacific range. The tea leaves are hand picked from an exclusive garden on an island just off the coast of South Korea.
But the important thing is the results right?!?
After applying the essence, which is designed to be used as the first step in any beauty regime, you'll probably find that you don't want to apply anything else. The consistency of the product is like water, but just a few drops in your palm to pat over your face, and the lightweight product is instantly absorbed, leaving your skin feeling refreshed, clear and firm!
An amazing discovery!
