I don't know if this new version is even out yet, but there was a sample of it inside one of my magazines and it's INCREDIBLE!
I looked like a crazy lady rubbing the pages all over my arms (it was in the magazine old-school style with the scent under a flap on one of the pages)!
Everyone in the house was asking what the incredible smell was so now I just leave the magazine in the living room and flick the pages when we need a scent boost! Haha!

Art and Cook Citrus Squeezer

I’d never used a squeezer like this before, (we have a wooden thing you stick in the lemon), but I’m a fan. Although I don’t think you get quite as much juice out, I still prefer it because there is literally no mess and you don’t have to pick the seeds out!
The squeezer is also super easy to wash and can even be thrown into the dishwasher, (although I’m not sure why you’d need to do this)!
It’s made out of a super thick material, so it doesn’t feel like it would break too easily!
I only have one issue with this new kitchen contraption of mine! What is the deal with the colour?!? Such a beautiful kitchen and then there’s this yucky green thing that has to be kept locked away! Why is it not yellow? Lemons over limes y’all!

Wow!!!! I love this Bronzing Powder!
It’s been a looooong time since I’ve bothered using a bronzer, but I am in love with this one!
There are 4 shades available and I tried out ‘Laguna’, which is a diffused brown with golden sheen! It’s nice that it’s buildable as you can create any look you want. But from the very first application, it’s shimmer shimmer shimmer! Yey!!! I’m trying to make the most out of the sun now we’re nearing the end of summer!
As my skin is quite pale, I’d also love to try their light bronze shade ‘San Juan’.
I applied this with a medium round head brush on areas that would naturally be hit by the sun, like my forehead, nose, cheeks and chin.
Overall I definitely recommend! It gives me that perfect summer glow and makes my complexion look better overall!

African Botanics Shimmering Gold Oil

This product is not at all what I expected it to be, but that does not mean it’s something to be sniffed at! At first glance, you expect it to be a glittery product perfect for beach holidays! That glowing sparkle that you can only get away with at the beach! But even though it looks SUPER shimmery through its packaging, it is very VERY subtle!
Although I was a little disappointed that it didn’t shimmer like I thought it would, it actually means I’ll get more use out of it, using it on a much more regular basis! The key feature of it is actually the oil! It’s silky and lightweight and leaves your skin with a more natural glow.
I even tried this product in my hair and it was very hydrating! Although, be warned! A little goes a long way in your hair, and it’s very easy to go OTT!
If you’re wondering about the smell, it is very subtle but you do catch the Orange Blossom in it!
This product also has so much goodness in it, including…
-Marula Oil
-Baobab
-Kalahari Melon
-Tocopherol
The list of benefits from these ingredients is vast, so I recommend you look it up if you’re super interested!
Overall: Although I wish it had more of a visible golden shimmer when applied, I love what it does for my hair and I’m blown away by the active ingredients and what they can do for my skin! But the price point is INSANE!

I LOVE LOVE LOVE my new Twist n Loc containers!!! I ended up buying 10 of them as we can use them for EVERYTHING!
Why do I love thee so?
❤️ They don’t leak! Even juice doesn’t come out when it’s stored upside down!
❤️ They can go in the dishwasher, microwave and freezer! And they don’t warp or change shape when you do so!
❤️ They have marks for measuring and pouring so I don’t need these AND a set of measuring jugs! This does it all!
They also slot together perfectly and can be used for anything from food storage and leftovers, to crafts. Plus, they are made from No.5 plastic which is steadily becoming recyclable in more and more areas!

Regular ready-to-use broths tend to come in 900ml cartons, but this tiny little carton is just 250ml. The flavour is concentrated (4x) so that you can customise your flavour intensity. One carton can make up to 4 cups (1 litre), or you can simply add less water for more flavour.
Pros: If you’re tight on space, it’s a lot easier to keep a few of these in the pantry, than the much larger regular cartons! And I also love how there is so much less packaging waste (60% less packaging).
Cons: If you’re a freestyle chef that just loves to add a bit of this followed by a bit of that, it can be a bit annoying to have to pre-mix the broth! Plus, even concentrated, it’s not as strong as you might think.
Please note: We are big cooks in this house and we regularly make our own chicken broth from scratch. It's a lot to contend with when you're trying to compete with homemade, so well done Campbell's. We would buy again!

The mould makes 9 ice cubes and is really detailed and leaves a cute little print on the body of the pineapple, and you even get the tiny leaves on top!
Perfect for our summer drinks!!!
The only downside is that the material means it cannot support its own weight! You have to lay it on another tray in order to put it in the freezer as it's so floppy! Ideally the tray would be a harder product with the silicone just in the moulds to push the ice cubes out!

Although I very rarely embrace my natural curl, I thought I’d give it a go after I received a combo Curl Manifesto sample.
One of the products was this daily moisturising frizz-reducing leave-in treatment! I applied a generous amount of this cream to my hair when it was still wet, and worked it through whilst scrunching my curls. I was excited about the prospect of less frizz as this is why I straighten my hair rather than embrace the curls. Unfortunately, no matter how much of the product I layered into my hair, the frizz was still an issue for me. I think a more intense treatment was needed for my dry hair!
Both the products I tried from this range are formulated with Manuka Honey, and this does come across in the scent of the products! Nice, but very subtle!
