As we get older our skin doesn’t retain moisture like it used to. It is less plump and sadly this is when the wrinkles start to appear. It is a devastating time for most!

While I am not against aging, I would definitely love to fight the signs for as long as I can. Botox or surgery are nowhere on my radar thanks to my needle phobia, so instead I search for skincare that actually works.

Boots Laboratories Serum7 Review

Over the past 8 weeks I have been trialing a scientifically proven anti-aging skincare line, Serum7 by Boots Laboratories. I am always sceptical when trying new ‘phenomenon’ creams that claim to give miracle results so I go into each purchase expecting it not to work. Serum7 has done exactly what it claims to – younger looking skin in 28 days.

I have been using a combination of the Serum7 Protecting Day Cream, Serum7 Regenerating Night Cream, Serum7 Protecting Body Serum (I’ve been using this on my hands when I remember) and the Serum7 Fine Lines Eye Cream.

Serum7 Regenerating Night Cream

This was the first cream I used from the range. I applied it straight after my shower and I could immediately feel more moisture in my skin. You don’t need a lot as a little bit goes a long way. The cream is a little bit heavier than the day cream but night creams usually are. When I rinsed my face in the morning it felt softer and less dry around the chin area.
The more I used it, the softer my skin began to look and feel.

Serum7 Protecting Day Cream

I don’t wear much make up, BB cream and blush is as good as it gets, maybe some lippy if I want to dress it up a little. Each day I use this under my BB cream and it has been light weight but still adding a refreshed appearance and feel to my skin. This is now my go to moisturiser!

Serum7 Fine Lines Eye Cream

I have never used eye cream before but I have recently began to notice some fine lines around my eyes so thought what the hey. It is a lot lighter than I expected eye cream to be but have since learnt that it is lighter because it is a softer, more delicate area of skin. Once the eye cream is soaked in it doesn’t feel as though you have anything on as it is so lightweight.

Serum7 Protecting Body Serum

This ‘serum’ is more of a cream but there is no denying that it works! I have only used this about half the amount I have used the other products because I keep forgetting but when I do use it my hands are soft and moisturised for ages. My poor hands get neglected and are often dry and scaly but this body serum steps up and does exactly what needs to be done.

OVERALL

Overall I was quite impressed with the Serum7 range. It moisturisers, brightens and rejuvenates the skin without being heavy. You can wear it every day without feeling weighed down by it.
I love that all the creams soak in and doesn’t leave your skin oily or wet. It absorbs fairly quickly, the night cream takes a little longer but for the most part soaks in fast. I would definitely buy this product range again.

Excuse the weird angle, I cannot take a good selfie to save myself!

Good Kill Review

Good Kill is exhilarating and thought provoking. A fighter pilot turned drone pilot fights the Taliban via remote control and begins to wonder whether he is doing the right thing. Is this a war that is never going to end? Is he making things worse?

Roadshow Synopsis: In the shadowy world of drone warfare, combat unfolds like a video game – only with real lives at stake. After six tours of duty, Air Force pilot Tom Egan (Ethan Hawke) yearns to get back into the cockpit of a real plane, but he now fights the Taliban from an air-conditioned box in the Las Vegas desert. When he and his crew start taking orders directly from the CIA, and the stakes are raised, Egan’s nerves – and his relationship with his wife (January Jones) – begin to unravel. Revealing the psychological toll drone pilots endure as they are forced to witness the aftermath of their fight against insurgents.

RRP: $29.95     Rated: M     Released: December 2015

American Ultra Review

American Ultra is one of those movies that you want to keep watching just to see what happens. While the movie itself wasn’t amazing, it definitely wasn’t bad. I found it to be quite funny and would watch again! It is about a stoner who unbeknownst to him is actually a government agent trained to be a killing machine; labelled a liability, he has been targeted and they want him dead. Unfortunately for them, he is too well trained (and too high to comprehend what is going on) that the CIA are finding it hard to kill him.

Roadshow synopsis: Small-town stoner Mike Howell (Jesse Eisenberg) spends most of his time getting high and writing a graphic novel. What Mike doesn’t know is that he was trained by the CIA to be a lethal killing machine. When the agency targets him for termination, his former handler activates his latent skills, turning the mild-mannered slacker into a deadly weapon. Now, the utterly surprised Mike must use his new found abilities to save himself and his girlfriend from getting smoked.

RRP: $39.95     Rated: MA15+     Released: 6th January 2016

Prize Includes: 1x Good Kill DVD. RRP $29.95.

Cheap Online Shopping Australia

It’s time to get money savvy. Bargain hunt, research and save yourself some cash!
You have worked long hours and don’t want your hard earned dollars going down the drain. These days everyone is doing it tough and is trying to get the most bang for their bucks. Cheap online shopping in Australia makes it possible!

Save time and money

Shopping online allows customers to compare, shop and save at the click of a button. No more going from shop to shop, trying to find a parking space and then comparing prices. Online shopping in Australia is convenient and easy!

Many online stores like Crazy Sales offer almost every category of item you could possibly want. They have everything from sporting goods to bedding. Their outdoor & leisure equipment has bargain swimming pools, sunshades and awnings, tents, BBQ pits, lighting and so much more. This not only has the essentials your family needs to go camping or to enjoy the Summer sun, you can do it at affordable prices!

 

Parents are typically always on the lookout for babies and kids toys they can put away for Christmas and birthdays. This is especially the case when they are a bargain-basement price and a sale too good to pass up. Bikes, trikes and wooden kitchens are always a winner. No child will turn down a water table, pogo stick or a cubby house and parents won’t turn down a bargain!

New Year’s brings resolutions; many that won’t be kept and will generally cost you money. Instead of wasting hundreds of dollars buying the best instruments you can (because you plan on becoming the next big thing!), start with something more affordable and if you stick with it, then go big. Crazy Sales has heaps of instruments and accessories at hugely discounted prices!

Sport and fitness is another area that people seems to spend thousands on. Exercise and health is fantastic but it doesn’t have to cost obscene amounts. You can now get fit at home with fantastically priced sporting equipment such as home gyms, cross trainers and even trampolines. If poor quality is a concern; read the reviews by previous customers on the product you are looking at to put your mind at ease.

Be smart with your money! Don’t waste it on overpriced products when you have cheap online shopping in Australia available to you.

Prize Includes: $250 Crazy Sales voucher.

Back to school can be a stressful time for parents. There is so much to consider, so much to buy and so many options!

I have teamed up with Thermos® for an incredible giveaway that will take the worry out of narrowing down your child’s lunch accessories and storage goods for the upcoming school season. Australian summers can be ridiculously hot and winters can be absurdly cold; this is what makes it so difficult for parents to choose a lunch box that will be suitable for these altering conditions.

Thermos® back to school

Thermos has the answer! The Thermos FUNtainer™ food jars and drink bottles have the well-known and trusted Thermos™ vacuum insulation technology that everyone loves. This technology allows food and drink to remain cold and fresh for up to 7 hours or alternatively hot for up to 5 hours. Parents and children can now experiment and keep lunches exciting; it doesn’t have to be the same boring sandwiches every day. Take a salad, homemade yoghurt, smoothies, dips, soup, noodles, fried rice, etc. to work and school without having the concern it will go off or require heating/cooling.

FIY: Food must be kept below 5°C and above 60°C to reduce the risk of food poisoning. The temperatures in between are what is classed as the danger zone for bacteria to grow rapidly in food.

For more information on food safety click here.

Not only are these products safe, they are convenient because they eliminate the need for icepacks and/or limiting lunch options for your child. To make them just little bit more special, the Thermos FUNtainer™ are available in a range of fun characters. These include (but are not limited to): Mickey Mouse, Tinker Bell, Frozen, Fire Truck, Thomas the Tank Engine and more. *There are also plain options available for the older children and adults.

Many people don’t realise that Thermos is a brand and not a product category. There are so many cheap imitations on the market and while they claim to be just as efficient, will just never stand up to the quality and reliability of real genuine Thermos products. With 110 years of experience and proven excellence, it is no surprise they are trusted by generations of Australians. To put their money where their mouths are, all Thermos FUNtainer™ products carry a 5-year warranty!

Take lunch limitations away and consider Thermos FUNtainer™ products this year for back to school purchases.

The school holidays are a great time for things a little extra special for the kids. The latest craze seems to be mothers enjoying high tea with their daughters however I have two boys that I know would love to attend one. Then of course my two year old tea party mad daughter would not miss it for the world. I cannot take all of them, my husband and my newborn baby to a fancy pantsy high tea.

High Tea At Home With Tea Infused Jelly

So instead we have improvised! High tea at home is just as special and without the added stress of my children being loud, animal like or fretting over something being broken.

Aeroplane Jelly sent me an amazing pack of tea infused jelly, gorgeous tea cups and a cake stand to share the experience with my family. We have definitely enjoyed it. In all honesty, we have now attended several high teas (at home) and the kids have helped prepare the food.

We have enjoyed: croissants, scones, brandy snaps, fresh fruit, raspberry licorice jelly cheesecake, mini trifles, melted snowman and vanilla mudcake cupcakes. Beverages have included: tea, coffee and juice.

We used some of the new tea infused Aeroplane Jelly to create a mixed berry trifle, unfortunately I didn’t get a chance to photograph it before the kids got into it. Take my word for it though, it was delicious! The fragrant new jellies are low in sugar and calories but do not lack in taste. They are full of flavour and there is a range to suit every taste. My favourite is the raspberry licorice, which really surprised me as I am not the biggest licorice fan. Other flavours include: Peach tea, lemon tea, orange blossom, raspberry licorice and mixed berry tea.

I have included below the recipe for the Mixed Berry Breakfast Trifle.

Mixed Berry Breakfast Trifle 

Number of Serves: 8 Prep Time: 15 minutes Set Time: 2 hours

Ingredients:

1 x 9g sachet Aeroplane Jelly Light Tea Infusions Mixed Berry Tea, made to pack instructions.

  1. Pour jelly into 4 small bowls with the grated apple or pear and refrigerate until set.

Don’t wait for the worst to happen before taking car seat safety seriously. Read this and make the right choice the first time!

Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR Review

I have used Britax branded car seats off and on since having my first child and they have done nothing but impress me. From comfort to safety, they know what they are doing. I have been fortunate enough to never have been involved in a car accident but I have trust in the car seats we use that should it occur, they will have the best protection available to them.

What I love about it

As you know, we welcomed our 4th child to the family a few weeks ago. Yes our 4th! This means not only did we need a new car seat, we also required a larger car to cater to our growing family. Our new car has enough seats to fit all the kids in but there is not a great deal of space left when there are 2 car seats in the back and a child needing to sit in between them. This is why we first looked at the Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR.


Narrow – It is narrow in comparison to other seats on the market making it ideal for families like ours or those with small cars.

ISOFIX – The Slimm-Line allows for easy ISOFIX installation, it is just one of the added safety benefits this seat has to offer. For more information on child restraints in cars click here.

Comfort – Even though it is narrower than other car seats, it doesn’t lose any comfort! This is so important, especially when taking long trips in the car. The Thermo5 fabric is one of Britax’s newest revolutions. It is a bamboo fabric that is soft and smooth on skin, knitted with airflow and is perfect for children of all ages.

Convertible car seat – I love that this seat can be used from birth to 4 yrs. It saves parents money without the concern they have to compromise on safety. This particular seat allows your child to be rear facing for longer (from birth to 2-3 years) and forward facing from 12 months to 4 years.

Head protection – In the event of a side impact crash, the Active Head Restraint (AHR) will provide additional protection for your child. You can never be too safe!

Easy to use harness – Like previous models, the Slimm-Line features the harness holder. Its technical name but is Ez-Buckle System, it is basically the insert that surrounds the buckle and holds it out of the way when you are placing your child into the seat. Saves a lot of time trying to locate it under their backsides.

 

**Please note that all pictures are taken on different angles to show you the seat in its entirety. As a result some pictures may appear to be reclined more than others, however seat is installed to required specifications.

 

Specifications

• Suitable from birth to approx. 4 years.
• Weighs approx. 7.6kg.
Dimensions: Rearward facing – H: 680mm D: 525mm W: 440mm, Forward Facing Upright – H: 525mm D: 400mm W: 440mm, Forward Facing Reclined – H: 725mm D: 380mm W: 440mm.
The only thing this seat doesn’t have that I would have loved, is the buckle holders on the side like the Platinum SICT. Apart from that I cannot fault this seat at all.
The Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR gives me peace of mind that I am providing my baby with the most protection possible each and every time we get into the car.

Prize includes: 1x Britax Safe-n-Sound Slimm-Line AHR. RRP $529.00

This year saw the addition of the fairy garden, the music room and the new and improved candy land. As we walked through the entry gates we were greeted by a gorgeous Christmas caroller in a ‘princess dress’, well according my Miss 2 it ‘was’ a princess with a big beautiful dress. Her voice was magical and made the perfect start to the evening.
