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. 

Insiders Betty Crocker Cookies & Cake Review

I've been trying the Betty Crocker range as part of my Insiders word of mouth campaign. 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

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.

Insiders Old Spice Deodorant Review

I've been trying the Old Spice range from Procter and Gamble as part of my Insiders word of mouth campaign. I was lucky enough to receive a fantastic box of goodies to test and review including 4 cans of deodorant 10 vouchers to share. So how have the traditional brand updated their branding and scent?

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 L’Oréal Pure Clay Masks Review

I've been trying L'Oréal Pure Clay face masks as part of my latest Bzz campaign. Designed to meet the needs of all skin types by mixing and matching the three types to create your own style.

TRND Freixenet ICE Cava Review

Alrighty then; new day, new testing forum to review. This time up it's Trnd who have reviewed everything from Brut deodorant to Hansgrohe shower heads. My first big blog review is for Freixenet ICE Cava, a light refreshing wine designed to be served over ice and mint leaves on those gorgeous summer days.

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.

Insiders Calmurid Pro Moisturiser Review

I've been trying the Calmurid Pro range from from Galderma UK as part of my first ever Insiders word of mouth campaign. I was lucky enough to receive a fantastic box of goodies to test, review and plenty of samples and generous vouchers to share.

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.

Bzzagent Garnier Ultimate Blends Body Review

I've been trying the Ultimate Blends collection from Garnier as part of my latest Bzz campaign. I was lucky enough to chose from a range of four different product ranges. Considering I live in Scotland and my skin is in a weather appropriate condition I decided to test out the Honey Treasures for Very Dry Skin.

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.

The Orchard Flower Review ~ Mothers Day 2016

I was the lucky recipient of vouchers from Tesco's word of mouth campaign website The Orchard, which arrived just before Mother's Day. Perfect timing. 

I promptly toddled down to Tesco to peruse the massive seasonal selection. From overflowing bundles with sparkly sticks, teddy bears and hearts down to simple bunches of Daffodils; they had the lot. A slight shame that the range is only vast at female related holidays but that's a personal viewpoint.

Bzzagent L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss Review

This campaign is for L'Oreal Casting Creme Gloss. In a rather (for me any way) dull shade of Chocolate 535
