GraviTrax Expansion Review

Last month, we were so excited to introduce you to the GraviTrax Starter set from Ravensburger. This is a STEM-inspired track system that combines the classic marble run and erector set with modern twists! It allows fans to build their own superb tracks, release the gravity spheres and watch the forces of nature work to create an action-filled adventure!

Today, we are here to introduce you three of their expansion add-on packs to be used with their Starter set: Building Extension, Action Hammer and Action Magnetic Cannon. GraviTrax is suitable for ages eight years and above.

Grether’s Pastilles Review

Since 1850, Grether’s Pastilles are made with a great deal of care, quality, tradition and craftsmanship based on an original English recipe. They contain the highest quality pure and natural ingredients that will soothe irritation and coat overtaxed vocal cords like a protective film. This is a firm favourite with celebrities, including Ariana Grande and Katy Perry, and has been spotted on the set of Keeping Up With The Kardashians.

Deeno-saur Smart Electric Toothbrush Review

Are you keeping track of your child’s oral hygiene? Did you know that according to Public Health England, 1 in 4 children will have tooth decay when they start school? Also, a surprising roughly 33% of children do not brush their teeth twice a day!

Since brushing and keeping track is such a chore for both parents and child, this is where Deeno steps in with their latest technology to assist us not only to monitor our children’s daily brushing activity, but it also allows children to have fun with Deeno app’s mini-games by earning coins from brushing teeth!

Judge Table Top Non-Stick Griddle Review

Judge Table Top Non-Stick Griddle is the perfect tool to gather your guests around the table to get them involved! This table griddle is not only great for grilling meat, fish, vegetables, frying an egg, it also comes with a warm setting to keep the food consistently warm without burning it.

Also what’s great about this table grill is that it is so lightweight and portable that you can take it anywhere where you can find mains electricity! You could use it while camping or use it to serve straight from the grill to your guests at home.

Hotter Leanne Review

This August, I am getting active with the Hotter Leanne shoes! Since we moved into the rented flat, I have been doing more walking than ever before and with this warmer weather, having a comfortable shoe for walking is a must! That’s why I will always choose Hotter as they make shoes that feel as comfortable as slippers!

Before we moved house a couple of months ago, I used to rely on my car for most of my journeys as we lived far away from the city centre and the supermarkets. Now, living next to the town centre at approx. a 3 minute walk away, I have no excuse!
