On The Straight & Sleek

By 2 Comments

Do you have those days where no matter what you do to make your hair look sleek, straight or just plain not wild nothing works? Me too! There is nothing worse than having the perfect outfit, glowing skin, gorgeous accessories and uncontrollable hair ruin it. Thanks to Jo Bazand their latest product Everyday Straight I no longer have to worry about that.

 

Before
I recently tried and tested Everyday Straight and so far it has worked a treat. It claims to give you straight hair for up to 3 months! I’m at day 4 and so far so good. There are 2 options – the intense (and very time consuming) and the quick way. Obviously the quick way isn’t going to give you the same results as the intensive treatment but I’d imagine it will help to maintain those unruly locks. I gave the intensive a go – I must say it is very time consuming and took longer than I expected however that could be due to the fact my hair appears to be lot longer than I realised. The result I have had from the intensive has definitely made it worth it.

I can now wake up in the morning with straight hair (even after wetting and washing) the night before. For a smooth and sleek look all I need to do is a quickly straighten the top layer of hair with my GHD and it’s picture perfect! I was originally concerned about the chemicals damaging my hair but I’ve been surprised by how healthy it feels. The treatment contains Keratin (the hairs natural protein), chamomile and nettle which replenishes any damage caused through everyday wear and tear.

As you can see I am pretty happy with the results I have had from this product. If you straighten your hair more than once a week or would just like more control over your hair than I think it is worth giving this a go. You can find this product in Big W & Priceline for $30.

It has many blank pages which allows their imagination to run wild and draw or write new ideas or basically whatever they like. My kids have loved this more than I can put into words and I cannot see them losing interest in it any time soon.

Snot Suckers + Giveaway!

By 13 Comments

We all know how frustrating it is when our little ones get stuffy noses, runny noses and the worst blocked noses late at night. I remember when my boys were babies and their poor nostrils got so blocked you could hear they were having trouble breathing but it is so hard because their noses are so small that you can’t just pull the snot out and they obviously can’t blow it out on their own.

 

Well thanks to the new Benny Nasal Vacuum you don’t need to stress or worry anymore. This genius contraption is designed to remove the mucus safely. Now I’ll be honest when I originally read that you hook it up to your household vacuum cleaner I was hesitant and I would be surprised if you’re not as well however it is designed so you can carefully adjust the sucking force required. It is very easy to use and highly recommend it to every family.

It is painless for the kids and helps them to breathe easier which ultimately makes every parents life happier. I have been given 1x of these to giveaway as well so you can try it or put it away for those dreaded winter flus.

There are many advantages of BENNY NASAL ASPIRATOR:

*Reduces the risk of ear infection

*Reduces the duration and seriousness of the condition

*Accelerates the recovery and give instant relief for everybody

*Safe, gentle, very effective and simply to use from birth

My Latest Accessory!

By Leave a Comment

I know it has been quiet around here lately and I will explain more about why in the coming weeks. Life has been busy, stressful, hectic, full, exciting, etc. and I haven’t quite had the chance to catch my breath yet. As I said I will explain it ALL soon.

As for the post today – I thought I would share with you my favourite new accessory. It’s a P3 Led Lenser torch! Would you call that an accessory? Well for the purpose of this post I am anyway so there :p

I was lucky enough to be sent one from Mister Minit – did you know they did more than key cutting and shoe repairs? I didn’t and I must say I now see them in a new light. Hahaha get it? Light – because I love their torch? Yeah lame I know but I am in one of those moods right now.
This torch is powerful! I took it camping last weekend and it was like walking with a spotlight in front me. I love the size of it as it is small enough to fit in my handbag, the car, basically anywhere. With Christmas coming up very quickly I must say that this would make a great present for any man, boy or woman. Dads, brothers, uncles, teachers, etc. Oh and the best bit about this torch is the price – You can purchase it from Mister Minit for only $19.95 (BARGAIN) and it comes with 5 year warranty!
If torches aren’t your thing or you are looking for gifts to suits different likes they may still have something you are looking for. They have a range of gifts for under $20 which include Christmas Keepsakes and Key rings. For under $30 they have stainless steel bracelets. Under $60 they have Leatherman Kick and Victorinox Climber.

As you can see I love my torch – it lives in my handbag just in case I ever need it! I would like to say a big thank you to Mister Minit for supplying me with my new accessory and I hope others with consider shopping there for their loved ones or themselves in the future! Great quality and even better prices.
