This is a really lightweight hairdryer that’s comfortable to hold and easy to use. The heat and speed controls are separate slim buttons that you toggle up and down, with colour indicators (red for heat, blue for speed) so you can quickly see what setting you’re on. It felt slightly unusual at first but I soon got used to it.
One feature I really like is the lock option on the back, which lets you lock in your heat and speed settings so you don’t accidentally change them while styling. That’s a brilliant touch for anyone with dexterity issues. It also has a generous 3m cord and the filter at the back simply pops off for easy cleaning.
It comes with a nozzle and diffuser, although as someone with curly hair I did find the diffuser quite small and my usual one didn’t fit because the barrel is very slim. Something to bear in mind if you rely on a diffuser.
Overall it’s a lightweight, easy to handle hairdryer with good settings and a really practical lock feature, but the diffuser could definitely be better for the price.

Hypnotic Poison is my number one favourite perfume, and it’s one I keep coming back to. The scent is warm, sweet, and quite creamy. I notice vanilla and almond the most, which gives it a cosy, comforting feel, with softer floral notes underneath that stop it feeling too heavy.
Once it settles on the skin it becomes smoother and softer, but it still keeps that rich vanilla-almond warmth. To me it has a seductive, warm and slightly passionate feel, which makes it perfect for evenings or cooler weather rather than a very light daytime fragrance. It’s also quite strong, so a little goes a long way.
The deep red apple-shaped bottle is beautiful and really recognisable. It feels sturdy and looks lovely sitting on a dressing table. Overall, it’s a classic fragrance that feels bold, comforting and a little bit dramatic in the best way, and it’s easily my all-time favourite.

These Solero Mini Exotic & Berry Bliss ice cream sticks are a really nice freezer treat when you want something fruity and refreshing. The box comes with two flavours, Exotic and Berry Bliss wrapped individually, and the mini size is perfect for a quick treat.
The Exotic ones have that classic tropical Solero flavour with mango and passion fruit around a creamy vanilla centre. The Berry Bliss version is a bit sharper, and a strong taste of raspberry flavour really comes through.
Overall, a simple, refreshing little treat that’s great to keep in the freezer. More sharp than sweet.

I have a love-hate relationship with pretzels as I enjoy the texture but often find the flavour bland. These were coated in tasty, crunchy salt pieces and thoroughly enjoyed them. I was also surprised to see how much were in the packet as usually you get a big packet with less than half full, but these were at least 3/4 full and in a foil packet sealing in the flavour making them enough to go round for a family film night. Thoroughly enjoyed them and will definitely be buying them again. -

One pod tackled a full load with no pre-soaking or added extras, genuinely lifting tough stains and odours. From an accessibility point of view, using a single pod is a big plus, especially for anyone with limited energy, chronic pain, or reduced hand strength, as it cuts down on measuring and extra steps. The foil packaging is easy to open, and the resealable pouch helps keep the pods fresh and manageable to use.
The Alpine Breeze scent is fresh and crisp, like clean air drifting through an open window on a cool day. I was concerned it might be overpowering, particularly for sensory-sensitive users, but once dried the clothes were left with a gentle, long-lasting freshness rather than a heavy perfume. This makes it a more comfortable option for households with sensory sensitivities, allergies, or anyone who prefers their laundry to smell clean without being overwhelming.

I usually stick to another well known brand but never realised how good the quality of Cushelle products were until now! Firstly, when i opened the pack I was surprised to see how large the roll was, much bigger and longer than other leading brands. Then the softness.. oh my the sheets were so incredibly soft and yet so strong. I am truly converted to Cushelle now! -

I have to be honest I wasn't sure having an air purifier would make any difference but now I cant imagine being without it.
The actual unit itself has a nice modern but simplistic feel to it. The digital display is easy to understand with a touch screen control as well as a remote that comes with it.
It has a good length of electrical cable with it which neatly wraps round the base when not in use. Its lighter than I thought making it easy to move with inverted handles at either side.
My living room was affected badly by recent storm damage and was sure I could still feel the dampness in the air. After turning the air purifier on in the room it displayed air quality of less than 40%. I left it running on a medium setting and when I came back a couple hours later it had reached 100% and you could immediately tell the difference .. the cold damp smell had stopped and the air didn't feel as heavy.
Its also brilliant for dispersing lingering smells from cooking and pet odours.

I received a pack of wet wipes which are incredibly soft and 100% plastic free, 100% biodegradable and 100% compostable with no perfume, alcohol or chlorine and made from 99% water and organic aloe vera. Although this particular product is not flushable, they do have wipes that are which is brilliant.
I love how companies are becoming a lot more environmentally friendly and recycling but it never occurred to me that carrier bags could be made of potatoes! They have a soft delicate feel to them but yet are very strong so I'm hoping these start becoming more widely available soon.

I’ve been testing Ariel Cherry Blossom Stain & Odour Removal Gel for just over a week now, and it’s quickly become one of those detergents that just quietly does its job well. The cherry blossom scent is really pleasant and one of my favourites. It leaves clothes smelling fresh and clean without being overpowering. It’s also designed to work in cold and short washes, which is great because that’s how I try to run most of my laundry if I can.
In terms of performance, it handles everyday marks and general wear really well without needing extra products or a long wash cycle. Clothes come out looking clean and smelling fresh, and the gel dissolves properly so there’s no residue left behind. It’s the kind of detergent you can rely on without having to think too much about it.
From an accessibility point of view, it’s very straightforward to use. Just pour the gel into the drawer or dosing cap and that’s it. The 72 wash bottle lasts a long time, which means fewer bottles to replace, but it is a bit on the heavier side, so do bare that in mind. Overall, it’s a simple, reliable option that fits easily into a normal laundry routine.

I tested the Flash Direct to Floor cleaner and found it a really simple option for quick everyday cleaning. As the name suggests, the product is applied straight onto the floor, so there’s no need to dilute it in a bucket first. You simply squeeze the bottle to release the liquid directly where you need it, then go over the area with a mop to spread and clean.
The liquid flows out easily from the bottle, making it quick to apply exactly where it’s needed. This is especially useful for those moments when muddy footprints suddenly appear, whether that’s from a dog running in from the garden or a toddler exploring after a rainy walk. Instead of setting up a full bucket, you can quickly apply the cleaner and mop the area.
I used a Flash Speed Mop to clean the floor after applying the product, which worked well, but it would be just as suitable with a standard mop.
From an accessibility point of view, the direct-to-floor design can be helpful because it removes the need to fill, lift, and carry a bucket of water. The bottle is easy to handle and lets you control how much product you dispense. However, it does require a firm squeeze to release the liquid, which may be worth noting for anyone with reduced grip strength.
Overall, this cleaner is a convenient option for quick clean-ups and everyday mess, making it particularly handy for those unexpected muddy moments when you just want to clean the floor quickly and move on with your day. 🧼
