CBD And Me – Herts Hemp CBD Oil
My Instagram feed has mentioned CBD quite a lot recently. I was using it in vape form before lock down happened and then due to that, I couldn’t get any juice from my normal supplier. I didn’t actually realise quite how much it was doing for me though. My pain flare ups have increased quite considerably since we went into lock down unfortunately. I was looking at some different options when the lovely people at Herts Hemp offered me a trial of their CBD oil. Disclaimer – Herts Hemp gifted me their products, all thoughts and feelings are my own and in no way influenced by the company. I’ve tried…

DECIEM – My Skincare Surprise Box
A few months back I was searching for some new skincare items and was mainly looking at a well known brand called The Ordinary. They’re well known for their well priced skincare and no BS attitude. But I’ll be honest, I had no idea what anything actually does. Because of this, I decided to put out a tweet to DECIEM (the umbrella company the The Ordinary is part of) and ask for some help! I received an email from Danni over at DECIEM asking for more information about my skin type and the problem areas I wanted to sort out. She said she was going to put together a routine…

Form New Skincare Habits During Lock Down
Do you keep meaning to start looking after your skin but just can’t seem to find the time? Why not form new skincare habits right now! What else have you really got to do? You’re not leaving the house apart from to shop for essentials and to get your half hour of exercise. And let’s face it, no one is getting close enough to realise you’re not wearing makeup! I don’t think there is a better time to form new skincare habits, personally. I’ve had a proper skincare regime in place for a good few months now. It did take some getting used to and my other half laughs about…

Minced Beef Hotpot & Samuel Groves Cookware Review
There’s something really comforting about an easy one-pot dinner. This Minced Beef Hotpot recipe is just that! When Samuel Groves kindly asked me to review one of their pans I had to choose their casserole pan! The best things about Samuel Groves pans is the fact you can go from hob to oven without having to switch cookware. I was sent the 20cm Stainless Steel Casserole Pan & Lid from their Classic Range. I decided this Minced Beef Hotpot would be the perfect recipe to try the pan out and I wasn’t wrong! It comes packaged in a Samuel Groves named box and inside that was a natural hessian bag.…

Wonder Balm – A Pony Called Steve To The Rescue!
I’ve been lucky enough to review items from A Pony Called Steve in the past. I absolutely love what they do and I find the girls so much fun to follow on Instagram too. Just before Christmas, they asked me if I’d tried their new Wonder Balm. Me being honest, and said I hadn’t seen much from them as I had been having a social media break. I knew nothing about said Wonder Balm so they very kindly offered to send me some as a gift. I was under no obligation to post a review but I really wanted to, read on and you’ll realise why. About a week after…

Lavera Natural Makeup Review
I was gifted a range of makeup products by Lavera and this is my honest review. I’ve been following Lavera on Instagram for a while now as I am really interested in natural products. I try to use as many as I can as they tend to be better for my skin and the environment too. Lavera’s products are 100% certified as natural and the do a huge range of makeup and skin products. Some of the products are Vegan Certified too but you’ll have to check their website to be sure of which ones. I am a little obsessed with makeup so when they asked me what I wanted…

October 18 Glossybox – Halloween Treat Box
I know I say this every month but how is it October already!? This year seems to have flown by and I have no idea how it’s almost over. But on to the October 18 Glossybox anyway. October of course means Halloween so there were 2 boxes up for grabs this month. I received the Treat Box and having seen the Trick one, I’d rather have had that but oh well! I still liked this box. It is definitely a pretty box, there’s no denying that! It appeals to my inner goth sooooooo much! Which is also why I’m a little gutted I didn’t get the Trick box. That contained…

The JoJo Hairbrush Review
We’ve all heard of or seen JoJo Bows, even if you have no idea who this JoJo is. Well she’s a dancer, just in case you did wonder. She found fame on the American TV series Dance Mom’s, which is exactly what her mother wanted for her. Got to give it to the kid though, she’s done well! Children across the country went mad for JoJo Bows when they were first released and my daughter was no different. She has a couple of different sized ones and they are still worn regularly. You can imagine her excitement when I revealed the new double sided brush I had been sent! We…

September 18 Glossybox Review
I can’t believe we’re at the end of September already! Where is this year going? September is of course “back to school” month so the September 18 Glossybox theme follows that. The items are handbag and beauty essentials that can help you get back on track and into the school run routine again. I really like this month’s box, it was nice to have such a mix of products. Here’s what was in it: We’ll go left to right this month and start with… Grow Gorgeous – Scalp Detox We’re actually starting with the product I like the least. It’s like a scrub for your scalp, designed to remove impurities…

A Pony Called What? – Product Review
Am I the only person that still has smellies left over from Christmas? Over 8 months later and I still have a few but I’m a little sick of smelling like my Nan’s favourite flowery scent. Again, is that just me that ends up with “lavender” or “white lily”? Don’t get me wrong, I love lilies, they’re my favourite flower but have you ever really smelt one? If I have fresh ones in the house I spend a good day or so wondering who’s done a wee in the kitchen! Old fashioned smells are something of the past now though. I have swapped out a couple of my current products…
