This juice drink is quite thirst quenching but I don't think it is sweet enough and it needs a bit more flavour. Although it is refreshing it is not my favourite from the Perrier & Juice range and I would prefer it if it had a stronger flavour or perhaps as a mixer with something else. It is a good alternative to just plain water and although I like the subtle fizz and the refreshing taste I prefer the others from the range. -

I love pineapple as it is a sweet and juicy fruit and it reminds me of summer. I was really looking forward to trying this flavour from the new Perrier Juice range. It is fruity, sweet and refreshing but it does not taste enough of pineapple. I think the mango is overpowering and the pineapple does not come through enough. Although it is refreshing and sweet it is not my favourite from the range and perhaps I would prefer it as a mixer with something else. I like the subtle fizz and the refreshing taste but I prefer the others from the same range. -

I took a mixed pack of Compeed plasters with me on holiday to Austria. I knew we were going to do a lot of walking and I thought they may come in handy “just in case”. The pack is so compact and easy to carry I always had it in my backpack for emergencies. We were on Austria’s Lake District and went up a mountain. It was a glaciar and the views were amazing but the terrain was not flat and it was tricky to walk. My walking boots started to rub and I could feel a blister coming so I stopped and applied a medium size plaster to the back of my foot. I immediately felt relief and stopped feeling my boots rubbing which saved the day as I was able to enjoy a long walk around the mountain and see all the sights without any problems.
I left the plaster on and did not take it off for a few days so I managed to do lots of walking and sightseeing and not feel any discomfort from my walking boots. Once the plaster came off I did not have any scars or noticeable marking on my skin so it was perfect. I am very impressed by these plasters and I am converted so from now on I will always carry these whenever I take a trip anywhere.

I use my mobile quite a lot and there are times when I am out and about and I worry the battery might run out. I have tried an external charger/ power pack before but it was a bit bulky and heavy so I wanted something thinner and very portable I could carry for emergencies.
The Iceworks 2500 portable charger arrived very well packed in a protected cardboard box containing the external battery unit, USB to micro USB charging cable, adaptor for Apple devices and small user manual inside. The charger is very slim (it feels like a thick credit card), very light and so portable you can carry it in your pocket or at the back of your mobile. It measures 95mm x 62mm x 4mm and weighs around 60g. It has a modern and sleek design and it is very smooth to the touch. The unit comes with its own inbuilt micro USB cable to attach to your mobile or device. The cable is blue in colour and it fits nicely on the side of the battery once it is not in use. The USB cable provided is long enough to plug it to a mobile, mp3 player or even a camera.
The charger is very easy to use, you just need to plug the blue cable to your mobile or device and a blue LED light will light up indicating that the charging is taking place. The external battery is very easy to charge up using the USB to micro USB cable provided so you can connect it to your laptop or PC. A flashing blue LED light shows to indicate the battery is charging and it will become solid blue once it is fully charged. It takes around 3-4 hours to fully charge the external battery unit.
My MotoG mobile charged up quickly so I will take the charger with me on trips for emergencies. The cable got a bit warm when charging my mobile but it did not get really hot so I did not worry. Please refer to the technical specifications below for more details.
Size: 95 x 62 x 7 mm
Capacity: 2500mAh / 3.7V
Input: 5V/1A
Output: 5V/1A
This is a very versatile, portable charger ideal for emergencies and to take on trips or to keep in the car for emergencies. It looks very modern and has a very smooth design. It is so slim, light and easy to use it is definitely a life saver in an emergency so I would definitely recommend it.

I like using oil burners in the house to create a relaxing and aromatic environment at home and I have a collection of essential oils to try different scents. I recently acquired an oil diffuser and as I love the smell of peppermint so I thought I could expand my essential oil collection.
The oil comes in a simple but sturdy cardboard box with a large (118ml) glass bottle and a dispensing pipette/dropper inside carefully wrapped in bubble wrap. The oil has a slight yellow colour, it has a light and fresh lemony smell with earthy undertones and it is not too strong or overpowering.
Peppermint essential oil gives a cooling sensation and has a calming effect on the body, which can relieve sore muscles when used topically. It also has antimicrobial properties so it can help freshen bad breath and soothe digestive issues. Peppermint essential oil’s scent invigorates the mind and senses, while inspiring a sense of peace. Used topically, peppermint oil creates a cool, tingling sensation on the skin, making it a favourite for sports massage. Peppermint oil is also recommended for its anti-nausea benefits and soothing effects on the gastric lining and colon because of its ability to reduce muscle spasms.
I love the light minty smell from this oil. There are so many uses to peppermint oil you are bound to find it useful for many things around the house. I am very pleased with this versatile oil. It is 100% natural peppermint oil from India and it is not tested on animals, which is very important to me. As the bottle is quite large and you only need a few drops each use this bottle will last a long time and it has a long shelf life too so I would recommend it.

I am going away on a trip for a few days and I can only take 8 kilos of hand luggage. I want to be able to track the weight of my suitcase so I wanted a small luggage scale. I have seen bulky non-battery ones but this digital one is much smaller, lighter and looks more accurate so I decided to give it a try.
The digital luggage scale arrived quickly and very well packed. It comes inside 2 cardboard boxes and it includes a soft, black string close bag and an instruction manual in 5 different European languages. The scale is only 16 cm long and very thin. It is quite light and very ergonomic and easy to hold. It is really easy to use, you just have to pull the plastic string holding the batteries and press the on/off button at the front. The display screen can be changed to Kg or imperial lb pounds. By following the detailed steps on the manual you can find the weight of an empty container/suitcase and then, when full the weight of the contents only. You can also find out the total weight of a suitcase or container which is what I wanted this scale for.
The scale is very accurate and the display screen very clear. It is really easy to use and so ergonomic and nice to hold I can see myself taking it on every trip. The scale comes with a nice and soft bag where you can store it inside your bag or suitcase so that it is protected against scratches or bumps. You can weigh upto 50kg so it will easily weigh a large suitcase and hand luggage, of course.
I can see myself using this scale on every trip I make. This scale is ideal for travel and to carry in my handbag or hand luggage to make sure I don’t pay any surplus overweight charges. I am very happy with my purchase and look forward to using it on my trip.

I have had scalp problems in the past and I was recommended to use coal tar shampoos so I am familiar with a couple of brands. The one I used the most disappeared from the market for a while so I tried this as a replacement. I have tried ArtNaturals skincare products and I was impressed with their quality so I wanted to give this shampoo a try.
The shampoo comes in a large bottle (473ml) and it is really easy to use. The shampoo is a light gold/yellow colour and it spreads really nicely on your hair so you don’t need to use a lot. It has a pleasant smell (I find most tar shampoos smell very similar but not everybody likes this particular smell) and I did not get any adverse reactions from first use. It makes quite a nice foam and it rinses very well so it does not leave residue. It is soothing on your scalp and does not make you itchy. My hair looks very shiny and it is very silky to the touch after using it. This controls symptoms of dandruff, psoriasis and seborrheic dermatitis and soothes itchy scalp, scaling, flaking and scalp build-up so I would recommend it. It is lighter and thicker than the coal tar shampoos I have tried before but it lathers nicely and it has soothed my scalp so I would definitely buy it again and recommend it.
This shampoo has coal tar solution (2%) as active ingredient and is infused with argan oil which has healing benefits and moisturizes the hair wonderfully.
This seems like a really good quality shampoo with natural ingredients and I am really pleased with it. I would recommend it if you are looking for a good quality shampoo to treat itchy/flaky scalp, psoriasis or even hair abnormalities like greasy hair or scalp irregularities.

I have tried a few skincare products from ArtNatuals and I was impressed with their quality. These lip balms come packed in a cardboard box with a plastic front to see them displayed. The lip balms have a hint of colour and lovely tropical and refreshing smells. The 6 flavours include: Island Coconut, Hibiscus Blossom, Passion Pitaya, Grapefruit, Mango and Papaya and Eucalyptus mint. My favourite one is the Island Coconut one as it smells of holidays and summer. The lip balms are smooth, soft and a little waxy. They glide on your lips very well and leave them soft, moisturised and very smooth. The balm is absorbed quickly leaving a nice waxy protective layer on your lips, so it is great to use when it is cold or windy outside or even on the beach to prevent chapped lips. Each lip balm is 4.25g and as you get 6 lip balms in the pack they should last all winter, or you can even share the pack with friends and/or family.
I am very impressed with how fast these lip balms work and how lovely and soft my lips are after using them. I suffer from chapped lips in the winter and this lip balm has made a great improvement in keeping them nourished. I also love the lovely smells of these balms and as they use natural ingredients including jojoba oil, vitamin E and coconut oil I know my lips are well cared for. The lip balms are made in the USA and are cruelty free so they have not been tested on animals, which is important to me.
I would recommend these lip balms if you are looking for a natural product with lovely tropical and refreshing smells which leaves your lips very soft and smooth.

My skin dries up occasionally and it can get very uncomfortable and itchy. I had never heard of Calmurid Pro before but as I love trying out new skincare products I was keen to try it out. The lotion comes in a 200 ml large bottle with screw on cap inside a cardboard box. The lotion is white in colour and it has a very mild nice smell. It is quite a rich lotion and it spreads really nicely on your skin. It is absorbed quickly so you don't need to use a lot of it and it won't leave your skin feeling sticky or oily. It is very
refreshing and it creates a kind of shield on your skin so water and the elements don't dry it out. It contains 4% urea which is natural and increases the water content in your skin, making it softer and smoother to the touch. My skin felt very soft and smooth from the first application and I did not have any adverse reactions to it. I use it after a shower and it nourishes and refreshes my skin, leaving it really soft. I also used it on my dry cracked heels and after just 2 days of use they are very soft and ready to be shown off in sandals and summer shoes. The bottle is quite large and as you don’t need to use a lot of the product I think it will last a long time. I would recommend it if you are looking for a good quality body lotion with natural ingredients, which really tackles dry skin, long lasting effects and which leaves your skin really soft and moisturised for a long time. I received a bottle as part of the Insiders network and this is my personal and unbiased opinion.

I joined the Your Good Skin 28 Day Challenge and my skin feels really soft, nourished and healthy as a result. My favourite product of the range is definitely the Balancing Skin Concentrate.
This serum comes in a beautiful box with lots of information about how it works and what improvements you should notice on your skin as you use it. It glides on your skin and nourishes it after just one application. You only need a couple of pumps to cover your full face so the bottle will last over a month. After using it morning and night for a week I started noticing my skin feeling softer and looking brighter. The laughter lines and fine wrinkles around my eyes started smoothing over and my large pores were less noticeable.
After 28 days using the serum with the YourGoodSkin wash scrub and face mask once a week my skin looks really healthy and feels very soft and smooth. I am very pleased with the results. This is probably the best serum I have ever used and the one that has really made a noticeable improvement to my skin's appearance and complexion. I will definitely purchase that again, it's a keeper for me and a must have in my skincare regime.
I have recommended it to friends and family and a couple of work colleagues have tried it and commented how good it is for them too so I would definitely recommend it.
