Picking the Right Floor

Before we had our children, Mr C and I were in the market of buying a new house (our present house) and we had the chance to pick the flooring and the finishing touches as it was a new build house. After living with a young dog, which behaved like a child in many ways, we both understood that having carpet for the whole house is not ideal. There are so many factors to consider when picking the right floor for each room. Carpetright contacted me to discuss how to pick the right floor. These are our thoughts and considerations.

What To Consider When Choosing A New Bathroom Suite

The bathroom is one of the more common renovations in a home. For it’s relatively small size, it can get more than it’s fair share of use by the average family so careful consideration is required when you are considering a new bathroom suite. These are some of the things I would consider if I was redesigning our bathroom.

Inateck IPX5 Water-resistant Speaker Review

Inateck has newly released this model Inateck IPX5 water-resistant bluetooth speaker which features a high-performing microphone! We were very impressed with the clear and uninterrupted communication. I used my phone to call my husband and hid the phone about a metre away from the speaker and spoke to him via the Inateck speaker and it all came through very clearly.

Lets Gone Crabbing at the Seaside

I am excited to work with Gone Crabbing as their range of gifts are very unique and cute too.  It is rare to find high-end holiday souvenir shops.  The usual souvenir shops tend to have the same stuff, like rock, key rings, postcards, cheap t-shirts etc.  Gone Crabbing is totally different!  Their clothing design is funky, bright colourful and very unique.  They also have crisp cotton tea towels & oven mitts, mugs & coasters, pencils, erasers, badges, fridge magnets and a fun range of cards.

I love Colin the Crab.  He is such an adorable orange crab.  This is both Mr K and Ms C wearing the red hoodie top – You’re gonna need a bigger bucket!

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.

Love your gums

Since young, I have never wanted to look after my teeth and gums even though I had plenty of oral hygiene talks from school. The reason is I always bleed when I brush my teeth so am scared of brushing them. My gums have always look darker red than normal. I have never dealt with this problem until I went on a volunteer overseas trip to Thailand. We had raised funds in Singapore and bought over a few hundred toothbrushes and toothpastes for two schools in Thailand. While we were in Thailand, we taught the children how to brush their teeth and why we should look after our teeth. It was only then, I realised that I should not have avoided my gum problem and should deal with it.

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. IWantOneOfThose.com is a website that sells gadgets, gizmos, a range of gift ideas including gifts for him, for her and even gifts for pets and home & garden products. There are so many different gifts to choose from. Take a look, and see if anything catches your eye!

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.

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? Until today, I had not heard about Alma Win Orange Oil Cleaner. The company kindly gave me a bottle to try. It is an all-purpose cleaner and completely biodegradable. It is concentrated and comes in baby safe screw top cap with a flow control spout. The smell of orange is quite strong.
