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

Racism, Sheep and Facebook Friends

It's been a rough couple of Facebook days for me, I know Third world problems, I have deleted over half my friend due to their apparent racist ignorant political belief's. I'm all for letting other live their lives but when the Global atrocities are ignore by the masses only to find everyone weeping over just one of them, it seems a little strange.

Lanark Local Classes & Activities

As the honourably elected  representative for Healthy Working Lives within my latest employment. I was tasked with finding out more about local activities that could count as exercise. Being fundamentally weak and definitely unable to undertake any form of strenuous movement, I thought outside the box. 

Hope For Creativity 2015

Since 2009 she has personally delivered thousands of art packs to homeless shelters in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and at 17 was named as a Distinguished Finalist by the Prudential Spirit of Community Awards. She fully supports her charity and raises the awareness of homelessness and the affect on children in particular.

Cinderella ~ Movie Review

"Live Action" a freshly unique disaster of movie-making. Ruining films and franchises throughout cinematic history. In recent times it has seen a resurgence in popularity with drastic flops such as "Scooby Doo" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles". Bringing films a conflicting lower sense of realism than the original or the cartoon series. It can be categorised as a poor attempt at CGI.

Cinderella was supposed to be a ground breaking blockbuster, and with it being aimed at children and families re-capturing their love of Disney Princesses, it should have been a sure fire hit. However children simply aren't designed with the attention span required for an epic dramatisation. I am only a little ashamed to admit that neither am I.

Tribute to Mother's Day

Ah... the glorious marketing hell that is our tribute to Mothers Day. Never on the same day, but with advertising starting when Valentine displays are being removed, it's pretty tough to miss. 

John Wick ~ Movie Review

We've all seen the action revenge films popularised in the 80's and 90's, and the latest blockbuster to burst into life is John Wick. A talented assassin (Keanu Reeves)  with Chuck Norris style advertising ('killed 3 men in a bar with a pencil, a PENCIL!'), is out for blood when some rich young pillocks kill his dog.

Alright not the most convoluted story line, but that's where the true genius lies. The writer (Derek Kolstad) and directors (Chad Stahelski, David Leitch) made the rare move of  paring down the emotional attachments for the main character. Wick was originally a deadly assassin (termed the man they called to hunt the Boogieman), however he left the business due to love. Awe so sweet!
