My Trusty Little Sunflower Cream Review



First developed over twenty years ago by Salisbury District Hospital My Trusty was originally a moisturising cream for patients recovering from burns and plastic surgery, but works fantastically for dry skin conditions. I was send a bottle to test for 3 weeks and I must say I was very impressed with the simple packaging design.

I was lucky enough to receive a fantastic box of goodies to test and review including 1x Chocolate Chip Cookies Pouch,1x Chocolate Fudge Brownies, 20x Activity Flyers for half term ideas and 20x Vouchers for £1 off of all Betty Crocker products. The only question that remains is "Will it make my baking edible?"

Cringe Worthy Karaoke

Image result for real life or is this just fantasy
Have you ever had one of those moments where you misheard a lyric and it forever changed the song for you. Of course you have. Anyone who has listened to rambling 80's Ballads, hard core shouty Rock or even manic Rap, will have suffered from an aural misfire. Well confession time: I've just suffered from a grenade launcher of a deeply inappropriate aural explosion.

British Eagle Advance Bicycle ~ Controller Review

When is a bike not a bike? When its the latest in a range of fantastic new space consuming hobbies. This is no exception; skinny tyres that make me think of diets with alarming panic, and wiggly handles that seem like a bizarre ode to a reindeer. This would never have been my first choice in mobility, hence this review has been flung at the feet of the Controller. As a warrior through the ages he has gallantly picked up the gauntlet and charged into battle, and here is the resulting ramblings untranslated for those with the knowledge.

Alpro Smoothie Cold Cups Review


Recently I have won a competition (from Asda), the chance to receive 1 of 1000 Alpro Smoothie Cold Cups.
Now due to feeling unloved by my postie I've been upping my competition entries, it's nice to have surprise presents! This little win was definitely a surprise as I'd forgotten all about it.

Losing my grip

Standing there, looking down at the distant ground, I could feel gravity calling.
My unattended cigarette a tiny beacon fighting with the streetlights for recognition.

The high strung emotions that warred in my head seconds previous dissipated.
Nothing seemed of consequence, apart from the inexorable grip of emptiness.

Bzzagent Danone Light and Free Review

I've been trying the snazzily branded Danone Light & Free Greek style yogurt as part of my latest Bzz campaign. Designed obviously for women with the packaging detailing fruits masquerading as dresses and the yogurt tubs showing fruits being part of bike wheels, sunglasses, and even perfume bottles.

Watership Down ~ Who Knew It Was Traumatic?

I love the outrage that flies so easily to the surface when parents randomly decide to take umbrage at some imagined slight, and become fully fledged flag waving advocates of wrapping our young in cotton wool.
Yes I do fully understand the need to shield our offspring from the greater evils of the surrounding world. However I find the hypocritical outcry over a poor choice in an aired television film distasteful.

Gateway Taxes and Psychic Powers ~ British Budget 2016


The sugar tax on fizzy drinks is designed under the guise of making our national poor diet seem more healthy. In reality all it will do is give the government more money, although they claim it will allow for an extra £20 million a year for dedicated funding for sports in Primary schools.
