OceanSaver Review

I finally found a cleaning brand that is good for the environment and actually works – and that brand is OceanSaver. I am always cautious when switching to eco-friendly cleaning products because, let’s be honest, they don’t always deliver the same results as traditional options. OceanSaver genuinely surprised me. With plastic-free packaging, ocean-safe ingredients, and formulas that actually perform, it’s quickly become a staple in my home.

Three products I have been testing regularly are the OceanSaver Pearl 5-in-1 Dishwasher Tablets, the Bio and Non-Bio Laundry Detergent Sheets.

Emerging from Hibernation Season: Skincare Products to Wake Up Your Skin

Winter can cause havoc with our skin.

A mix of frigid temperatures and central heating acts to weaken the skin barrier, leaving the skin dry, dull, taut and irritated.

As ever with skin, half the battle of bringing it back to life is giving it proper hydration.

However, waking up your tired pores means not just giving them the moisture they crave, but using products that allow you to lock in the liquid so your skin remains radiant all day long.

And while hydration is important, it’s not the be-all and end-all – revitalised skin needs help from products that work to reduce fine lines, flakiness and puffiness.

Let’s find out more.

Wingio Safe Phone & Tablet for Children Review

In today’s digital world and busy lifestyles, there is so much cyberbullying and online information that it can be difficult to filter. Finding the right balance between giving children access to technology and keeping them safe online can feel overwhelming for many parents.

That is why services like Wingio immediately caught my attention. Wingio provides safe, pre-configured smartphones and tablets for children in the UK, built on reliable Samsung hardware. Unlike a standard tablet that requires hours of setup, app downloads, and parental lock adjustments, Wingio’s approach is very different. The device arrives ready to use straight out of the box, with safety features already activated. This is especially great for busy families and those who are not very tech-savvy.

What you shouldn’t do after a session of laser hair removal

For a lot of people, it can be a very exciting prospect to get started on their laser hair removal journey. When you get to the end, you’ll potentially never have to shave again, or at least not for a very long time, being left with beautiful, smooth skin for years to come.

While those treatment sessions are ongoing, however, there are a few things that you’ll need to keep in mind. Here, we explore some basic but super important things to avoid directly after a session, from sun to shaving, to help you get the most out of your experience.

One of those choices is often going to be between wearing branded or blank clothing. Here, we go through some of the strengths and weaknesses of each, in various different settings, to help you make your own mind up about which is best.

Anavrin Kyoto Gion Review

If you have ever wandered through Kyoto’s Gion district at dawn, you will recognise the quiet magic this kit captures. The moment I opened the box, I was transported back to an early spring morning strolling along the empty Hōkan-ji walkway – soft light, crisp air, and the faint scent of cherry blossoms lingering like a whisper. That same sense of calm and wonder is exactly what this DIY book nook brings to life.

That’s the magic of perfume: it’s more than just a beauty product; it’s a ticket to explore new worlds without leaving home.

From Mediterranean fig groves to Caribbean shores, these 5 fragrances are like postcards from the world, sealed in a bottle and ready to be discovered.
