Duck Tape Colours Review

Have you ever thought of using Duck Tape to create a bracelet, a belt or maybe a handbag? It does sound crazy but there is so much you can do with Duck Tape besides using it to temporarily fix things around the house or garden! Take a look at their website for more inspiration and fun ideas! Duck Tape is made from a durable polyethylene film combined with cotton, with a high tack natural rubber adhesive. It is tough and strong but it is also easy to tear. Each colour roll is 48 mm wide and 9.1 metres long. The initial UK Duck Tape colours range comprises 15 solid colours and designs. We have received a pink piggy bank, zig zag pink, green clover, white snowflake, red fire engine and penguin invasion. The colours are bright and very attractive. Personally, I love the penguin invasion. The design is so cute that I want to use it to tape around my door frame!

What can we create using Duck Tape? These are a few things we have created using the duck tape:

A small carry bag

Preparing the Lawn for Winter

Our garden was really well used last year from parties, gatherings but mainly the children playing. After such abuse, the lawn was not looking too great during the winter of 2012, so we have really made an effort to look after our lawn this year.

Domino’s Pizza Review

Last weekend, some of you might have seen that I hosted a Bloggers Night In at my place. So what should we have for dinner? I had thought for a long time, do I cook my usual Chinese food or should I just relax and get takeaway. There are a number of choices from Chinese, Indian, Thai, Kebabs etc. Pizza is always a universally popular food choice and Domino’s kindly offered their services to sponsor our night in!

BullGuard Identity Protection

Do you ever worry about the risk of identity theft and financial fraud? Fortunately I have not been affected yet but you hear of stories all the time. It can take weeks before the bank refunds your money back and credit ratings can be negatively impacted too.

Cocktails and Wine Party

Whenever there is a party, there is always drinking involved! I would like to thank all the companies who have kindly sponsored us for our bloggers night in weekend. Without them, we wouldn’t have had such an awesome gathering. Before our night in, I had read The Lazy Hostess for ideas of how to entertain and feed my guests without breaking the bank and barely lifting a finger! Following one of the seven habits of highly stress free hostesses, I asked Pippa Ainsworth to be my cocktail bar girl! She is in charge of serving my guests plenty of cocktails, wine and non alcohol drinks.

A Decorative Room Diffuser with Air Wick

My first time seeing Air Wick diffusers was in my friend’s house. She had it in her toilet and each time we went inside or opened the door, there was a delightful fragrance. Since then, I have been regularly using the diffusers all around my house especially in the toilet/bathrooms. I like how the Air Wick diffusers slowly diffuse a gentle and delicate fragrance throughout the room.

Olive Fried Rice with Tenderstem

Last weekend was our bloggers night in and we had received some food samples for us to try out during and after the party. During the party, I served my guests olives straight from the tin. Personally, I have never bought tinned olives as I was always concerned that the tin may cause the olives to have a metallic smell. I would opt to buy fresh or in a jar. However, after trying these olives, I was very impressed! Both green and black olives are very tasty, not soggy and bursting with flavour.

Limited Edition Warburtons Christmas Wrapper

This morning, I received a large hamper from Warburtons which was supposed to arrive last Saturday for our Blogger Night In. Unfortunately, they arrived too late and none of the bloggers could try them or bring them home. So I have given some away to my neighbours and friends as they now have short expiry dates.

Sheep in the Microwave!

What will you do if you found a sheep inside a microwave? Not too worry! This is definitely not animal cruelty. In fact, Shaun the Sheep is a microwavable neck wrap. Feeling cold while watching telly or having neck ache while at work? This is an ideal gift for your loved one. It is a true winter essential if you need something warm to cuddle during the cold winter months.

Review myvitamins Bundle

Keeping my family healthy is always my number one priority. I supplement our diets with vitamins and minerals. This time around, I picked an Active Kids Omega 3 for my children, Total Krill Oil for myself and Joint Plus MSM for Mr C. Each packet of myvitamins come in a zip lock that allows you seal the vitamins securely. They can be store neatly in your handbag but you must be careful with children as you won’t want them to think it is a pack of sweets.

Cut the cost of laundry with Beko’s innovative air-cool technology

Setting it apart from other products on the market, the innovative drying technology in Beko’s state-of-the-art washer dryer can save you thousands of litres of water per year, compared to standard machines. This advanced design, along with an A energy rating, means machine-cleaning laundry is now more affordable than ever before.

Having tried it out for a week now, I am very pleased with it. I will blog again in a few weeks time after using it for a bit longer. It was delivered to us but we installed it on our own. This is not the first time we installed our own washing machine.

Prawn Crackers: To fry or to buy?

Each time you go to buy a Chinese takeaway, are you tempted to buy a bag of prawn crackers? Sometimes in Chinese restaurants, they may serve you a basket of prawn crackers too. My children love it and we always have to stop them eating too many in case it spoils their dinner! In fact, prawn crackers are the simplest snack to cook! I always get the them from a Chinese supermarket and they cost less than £2. Uncooked, they are a small solid round shape.

Mr Men or Little Miss watch Review

Little Ms C is wearing this gorgeous bright pink Little Miss Princess’s watch! They are suitable for 6 years and above. The face of the watch comes with gold coloured hours, minutes and seconds hands with very gorgeous Little Miss Princess and magnificent glittering castle as a background. The numbers are all in pink. The strap is made from soft plastic with sliver glitter and a lot of Little Miss printed on it. The back of the watch is made from stainless steel. To adjust the time, simply pull out the crown, turn to the desired time and push it back when done. The watch is guaranteed for 12 months. The watch is beautifully made and comfortable to wear. The RRP is £12.99. It is very affordable and good value.

Kelly’s of Cornwall Clotted Cream

My family and I always enjoy a scoop of ice cream as a dessert even through winter. We have all got a sweet tooth in this family. Today, I went to Tesco to buy a tub of Kelly’s of Cornwall Clotted Cream & Honeycomb which costs £3.99. Besides this flavour, they also sell with strawberry, blackcurrant, golden syrup, vanilla, chocolate, mint choc chip and raspberry in similar sized tubs. They also sell a mini pots range in four different flavours.
