I love Coffee!

This is NOT a sponsored Post!

I’m a lover of coffee! I couldn’t hide that that even if I tried. It kick starts my day and keeps me going through.

I’m also a massive fan of talking. It’s an exercise right?

Well that is what I love so much about this delicious beverage.

Coffee and talking go hand in hand (in my house anyway). I was lucky enough to receive a massive stash of Nescafe Café Menu coffee sticks.

Thanks Soup! You are pretty awesome.

There are 14 varieties but my absolute favourite is the Mocha, it is so easy to drink. My husbands’ favourite is the caramel Latte.

I honestly love these Nescafe Cafe Menu coffees. I have purchased these since they were first released because they are delicious, quick and so easy to drink. I’m pretty stoked to be given this many to enjoy with friends and family.

Attack of the Itchy Critters

Attack of the Itchy Critters

*I must start this post by saying it is in no way sponsored or did I receive anything to do a review! 

Today we had our first and unfortunately I know it will not be the last experience of the dreaded (and please don’t hate me) head lice! I bet your head is itching already isn’t it?

 

I was taken a little by surprise at the fact that my boys had been infested. Why would these nits/head lice like their hair? They are dirty grubby boys. I guess their hair is cleaner than I thought or there is a new breed that prefers a bit of dirt, fluff and whatever else they decide to wipe through it. 

 

I knew this day would come and I thought I’d been on the ball and oh so clever;  checking hair regularly and only washing it on a Friday night so it had time to get dirty again before school on Monday but I was wrong!
Both the boys have been attacked by the itchy critters! Lucky the infestation wasn’t severe, D had 3 or head lice and K only had 1 so that wasn’t too bad but they must have been shooting those eggs out! Geez were there some eggs/nits.

We took a trip to Woolworths to try and find a miracle treatment to the incurable itching that my mind had my head thinking about. Yours is itching now to isn’t it? Well as I said this is the first case of it in our home so I’m a bit new to this. I got a product called ‘Quit Nits’ rapid head lice lotion.

It’s all natural (costs $18) not sure if that’s about standard or bull shit expensive, looks and feels like your rubbing moisturiser into your hair. Works in 10 minutes (I left it a little bit longer to make sure it would work!), it kills lice and eggs, came with a nit comb (big selling point as the only other nit comb they had was $15 just for the freaking comb) but the best thing about it is I think it worked!!

Mind you my head hasn’t stopped itching but I have a strong feeling that is more psychological than any actually being there. The eggs came out so easily with the comb after the ‘moisturiser’ was in their hair; it was like they no longer had any grip on the hair.
I have now rewashed and dried in the dryer all the sheets, blankets, pillow cases, etc. and put all the brushes and combs in boiling water with vinegar. Is there anything else I need to do?

Do you have a secret formula to kill head lice? Or even better to prevent them entirely? (Short of not letting the children leave the house!)

Whether it be a store bought product or a home remedy;

I would love to hear it!
