Insignia Digital LED Shower Head Review

Insignia, the UK’s premier brand for luxury steam and hydro massage showers, has launched a digital LED Shower Head, powered by dynamo technology, to help prevent scalding in the shower. This innovative gadget measures the temperature of the water and displays it through a digital read out and coloured safety lights, giving exact control of the heat of the water.

Good Bubble Review

Bath time is always a fun time for my children and a relaxing time for me as I can just sit there and watch them. They love to pretend to swim and play with their bath toys. Recently, I came across Good Bubble via a fellow blogger and saw that they get a good review. In particular, the thing that caught my attention is the use of the superfruit in their product. There are some very interesting fruits and there are no such fruity smelling products for children that I’m aware of. I was pleased that they got in touch for us to try their superfruit toiletries too.

Good Bubble comes in two different superfruit ranges: dragon fruit and cloudberry. Each range comes with four different products: hair & body wash, shampoo, conditioner and bubble bath. I have received three products: Cloudberry Bubble Bath, Dragon Fruit Hair & Body Wash and Dragon Fruit Conditioner.

Beauty Time – Bloggers Night In

How can a bloggers’ night in be without pampering ourselves! After all the food and games we played, we settled ourselves and painting our nails. Some of us tried the Models Own Midori Melon-scented nail polish. The colour is too bight for my liking otherwise it is a nice polish and is easy to apply.

Digital Ozeri Precision II VS Normal Bathroom Scale

Having owned a set of old fashioned analogue bathroom scales for a long time, it is a big step up for us to move to the digital world of bathroom scales! Having digital scales can make taking the reading easier. I still remember the days of having to crouch down and squint to try and take the reading.

Review: Toxic Pop Up Laundry Bag

The lovely people from IWantOneOfThose.com has kindly sent me a Toxic Pop Up Laundry Bag for review. They look extremely cool (and apt) placed in our family bathroom as it will contain the most filthy children’s clothing.

Take part in the Hygiene Revolution

Recently, through a fellow blogger, I got to learn about Hygiene Revolution. The Hygiene Revolution has been borne out of the claims made by other brands in the hygiene/cleaning space. They believe that products containing Byotrol technology are the only products on the market that can kill and protect from unwanted germs for up to 24 hours.

I have been sent two products: Tesco Anti-Bacterial Multi-Purpose Cleaner and Boots Anti Viral Hand Foam. If you followed my blog, you should know I am house proud and I clean my house very regularly. I use all sorts of products to keep it clean.

Maid Simple Products Review

Cleaning has become one of my regular pastimes as a Stay At Home Mum. To be honest, I do love to clean my house as I am house proud. Over the years, I have tried so many big brand cleaning products and recently came across Maid Simple. Maid Simple is a family business that has been involved with cleaning products for over 20 years.

I have received four cleaning products from them and this is what I think about their products.

Ironing Water 500ml £3.99

Normally I use filtered water to fill up the iron for ironing. This is my first time using the ironing water. I was pleased with the result. It is easy to spray, iron and it leaves the clothing smelling fresh. The smell is light and not overpowering.

Alma Win Orange Oil Cleaner

There are so many different cleaning products on the market. Are you getting confused with the chemicals used and how effective they are?

Design Tools – Visualise for your Bathroom

A few weeks ago, I took up the blogger’s challenge to do up my cloakroom. Since then, it got me thinking for my next project. It will be definitely be my en-suite. It is boring and dated. There are no built in cupboards nor wall tiles. I would love to add wall tiles to make a feature wall but I have no idea how to get the perfect match. Mr C and I have different views on choosing wall tiles to door styles!

To help us to achieve our dream en-suite, I am using this new bathroom design tool called Visualise which has just been launched by Utopia Bathroom.

Utopia’s Visualise is an online interior design tool, available on the company’s website, which helps bring to life thousands of bathroom furniture and colour combinations available to choose from Utopia’s luxurious range. With an extensive variety of furniture, worktops, tiles, door styles and accessories, all available in a range of colour ways, the tool makes it easier than ever before to visualise exactly what your new bathroom, en suite or cloakroom will look like, before making that financial investment.

Review: Spa Find Calmit Extract and Dead Sea Bath Salts

A few weeks ago, I had received Spa Find Calmit Extract and Dead Sea Bath Salts along with the Dead Sea Spa Magik.

Spa Find Calmit Extract (Intensive Anti-Ageing)

When I opened up the parcel, the Calmit Extract packaging really stood out. The packaging looked beautiful and expensive. I would be happy to receive this as a gift for Birthday, Christmas or from my husband! Inside the beautiful box it contained three glass bottles. I expected this facial treatment to be oily but when I used it, it was very watery. But apparently the intensive anti-ageing facial treatment was blended with natural Harmonised water and Padina Pavonica algae. It has a white floral scent.

Directions for use:

Massage into the face, neck and decollete every morning and evening for one week of every month (Use approx 1 x 6 ml vial in one week). Alternatively use all 3 vials as an intensive treatment when skin needs a boost.

I had normal skin and have been using this product for weeks now. I poured a few drops into my hand and massaged into my face and neck. This instantly felt soothing and was quickly absorbed into my skin. After 3 weeks of use, my skin indeed feels much smoother.

I rated this 4 stars out of 5 star. Why this is not a perfect score because I felt the consistency is a little too watery resulting in me pouring out too much and dripping down onto the floor.

Dead Sea Spa Magik Products

As a busy mum of two young children I have no time to go to a spa or sometimes it’s struggle to even to have a nice hot bath. When I got to review Dead Sea Spa Magik products, it was a good reason to make more ‘me’ time.

I received a sachet of Mineral Shampoo & Hair Magik Serum and Spa Magik Salt Brushing 500g. I also received Spa Find Dead Sea Bath Salts and Calmit Extract which you can read on my next blog.
