Ryobi 36V Fusion Cordless Lawnmower Review
This summer, we’ve been keeping our lawn well maintained and looking stunning thanks to Ryobi 36V Fusion Cordless Lawnmower.

Surania Design Your Style Review
If you were given a choice, who would not want to design your own swimsuit? Both of my children were so excited to get to pick what they wanted for their swimming costumes from Surania website.
This is my first time I’ve come across the concept of design your own swimwear and I think it’s a great idea. It is great to have the opportunity to wear something custom made so that there is less chances for us to be wearing the same swimwear at the swimming pool or beach.
At Surania, you have a wide range of styles to choose from which adapt perfectly to your body, your desires and your tastes. It allowing you to design your own bikini or swimsuit to your tastes and to manufacture the garments to your measurements. You can choose bikini, tankini, beach wear, mens wear and kids wear too!

Skylanders Summer
This summer, we had so much fun and laughter! We did the summer activities A – Z and holidayed in Singapore! But not forgetting our Skylanders! They are still one of the PS3 games my son Mr K loves! He has targeted getting all the characters in each element by saving his pocket money. Over the summer, there are quite a few character deals online and he bought some to add into his collection.
Thanks to Skylanders for sending through the activities book, sunglasses and beach towel! Have you been wondering what the Skylanders have been up to this summer? Check out this epic sand sculpture of Kaos! How cool is that! His minions created to honour their boss on Gandia Beach in Spain! This is such an awesome sand sculpture! I bet a lot of fans would love to take a photo with him!
