ENDED [Celebration Competition For 5 Free Steam Games]

To celebrate my first year and passing the amazing milestone of 20,000 views I've decided to run my very first competition (so go easy on me!). I'm using Rafflecopter and I think I've managed to cover most of the social media outlets, if you have a different preference or any other suggestions, let me know for next time and I'll do my best to accommodate.

Slim Fit Crew Neck 3/4 Sleeve Top

Now who amongst us doesn't love a bargain? The January sales might start in November but they still provide a proving ground for those smart enough to bulk buy classic clothes. This time has been no exception for me, and yes I'm still grinning about my last haul!

At a mere £6 from the South range at Very.co.uk (and £3 in the current post Xmas sales!),  this longer line t-shirt has been a staple of my work wardrobe for a while. Practical and hard wearing, the colour hasn't ran or faded at all. The sleeves make it suitable for the brisker days, to layer with shirts or cardigans, and the actual fabric is light enough for it to last into Summer (or a well heated office!).

Sherlock Downgraded To Drivel?

I am a massive fan of the new  Sherlock series and everyone's fascination with something so piously British. My only complaints up until now had been that the series simply wasn't long enough. Now given the actors work commitments ( The Hobbit, Star Trek etc) and the writer Steven Moffat's 'other baby' Doctor Who, it was great to get a series this year at all. However the whole thing felt like such a drastic departure from the previous two seasons, that I was actually left wondering why they bothered.

Call of Duty Ghosts Extinction ~ The Watcher

Imagine the franchise loving gamers frustration when Treyarch and Infinity Ward decided to go their separate ways. There was a small consolation of the companies taking turn about to exploit the gamers wallets with further renditions, but zombies was to be regulated to every second year. The lack of Zombie maps sent shock waves (well mild tremors), through the gaming scene. Well no more will there be a sense of a crucial 'something' missing. Infinity Ward has delightfully saw fit to take survival map to a new level with aliens. About time as far as I was concerned! I loved the first foray into zombies, but the follow ups seemed too tied up in their own glory, for me it lost its watch-ability and for some the playability.

New Year 2014 Resolutions

New Year ... New You, every year its the same trite lists of excuses and promises. Lists of New Year Resolutions composed by insecure people who believe they are in need of a lifestyle change. Worse yet everyone believes they have to right to quiz you on your intentions, for no other reason than to decry your efforts when you fail. I resort to laughter when people ask my intentions for the coming year, and happily inform them that I intend to continue into the next year in the same way I've enjoyed this year.
Nothing will get between me and a mammoth bar of chocolate, I will drink when the notion takes me, and exercise is much more fun when taken as a NERF battle or water fight.

Rocking Roku Review

With so many different Television streaming devices on the market it is hard to find one that does something different. The Roku accomplishes that in spades. Working over the internet it streams a wide variety of free and paid for channels directly to your television. Foreign channels, learning, children, radio, movies and all the big names are catered for in a small inoffensive box. Tiny enough to tuck out of side the Roku will look just as attractive nestling with your other gadgets, in fact it should replace a few of them.

Box of Awesome Review ~ Box 6

As December gets under way, Box of Awesome launches into its sixth box. The collectables have again made a resurgence, along with a new toy, book and a TMNT leaflet. I'm a big enough fan to remember Splinter's gang from the very first series, and I confess that I find the new Nickelodeon 'concept' imagery about as visually appealing as the TMNT movies. 'Give everything a chance and judge not, lest you be judged also.'

Foreo Luna Mini ~ Fantastic Face Care

Being an inherent tomboy, I tend to view 'essential beauty gadgets' as little more than a consumer con. However my hormonal skin meant that drastic measures had to be taken. After hours of boredom sifting through marketing propaganda to get to the real people reviews. It was an expensive choice (that still makes me wince thinking about it!), but the Luna Mini had the most favoured reviews, and the lowest price.

Graffiti ~ Historic Art or Teenage Vandalism

Lately I have noticed an increase in Graffiti in my area, not the silly playground type. With their names and lists of loves, but a gentler almost innocent message. Akin to a John Lennon sentiment, these come in a variety of forms. All sharing the same message of giving love.

Box of OMG Review ~ Box 4

                                                                                                    

This is the fourth (time really does fly!) Box of OMG  to land on our doorsteps. From the individuals who brought us Box of Awesome and aimed mainly at girls. Advertised primarily through social media sites, this is definitely growing in popularity. Companies have saw the proof of advertising in the first Boxes and have an interesting collection in this one. The box is filled with goodies, collectables and digital options.
