When it comes to skincare, I’m the not most invested person. I like simple products, I like a quick routine and I definitely don’t want a faff. So, it’ll come as no surprise when I tell you that my normal daily skincare steps usually involve soap and a flannel followed by a moisturiser, and so far this has done me ok. However, ageing does happen and even though I am happy with doing it gracefully and embracing my laughter lines and so on, I have recently noticed a few things I am not particularly enjoying. Puffiness on some days of the month, a duller complexion since perimenopause started, as well as uneven skin tone. Oh, the joys of being in your 40’s – but what can be done? Obviously, most of us see the many adverts for the wide array of thick/heavy anti-ageing creams, we see celebrities getting Botox and fillers, and we are all constantly bombarded by products that “absolutely promise” to reverse the signs of ageing which is fine if any of that’s for you, but these options aren’t for me. I want to look and feel like myself and not feel like there is stuff on/in my face. Just as I was contemplating researching what products could work for my skin, Medik8 got in touch. I hadn’t heard of this brand previously but after a look at their website, their ethics, sustainability aims and their wide variety of products with really good reviews, I was excited to give their Exo-PDRN Prismatic+ Youthful Vitality Serum a try, and after three weeks, this is how I got on.

Cat food is one of the biggest struggles we have had as cat owners over the years. When our tabby, KitKat, was younger, we felt like we were constantly buying food, yet he never seemed satisfied. After some research, we discovered that a lot of the well-known cat foods are high in water content and fillers rather than meat, leaving many cats still hungry and needing more. Of course, there are now many other brands to choose from and over the course of Kit’s lifetime and his changing needs, I feel like we have tried the majority of them! At 16, KitKat is now a lot slower than he once was, and has had several health issues/worries of late, with the most life-changing one being hyperthyroidism. He has to take medication twice a day, go for regular vet checkups and we switched him from senior food to adult food in order to help to keep his weight up. Unfortunately, just when we thought we had solved his food issues, he began struggling to eat, which led to a vet visit and a dental that ended up leaving him with very few teeth. We found ourselves back to square one in our mission to find a cat food that would work for him and now with the additional need of it being soft and easy to eat. Oh, and did I mention he’s also a fussy cat? Yeah, quite a combination there – old, skinny, medicated, no teeth and fussy. We had been trying every food that was being recommended to us, and each time we thought we had it cracked, he’d change his mind and turn his nose up. Just as we were wondering where to go next with his diet, Untamed emailed me, and after a look at their website, food quality and ethics, I was very happy and eager to try out and review their range of cat food.

I booked to see the play Stranger Things, The First Shadow last December for my husband’s birthday as a bit of a last-minute thing, and to be honest, we went along not really knowing what it was going to be about or how it would tie into the current Netflix series. But after watching it, we realised how much information this brought to the twisted story and enabled us to learn so much more about the characters, the plot and, most importantly, Henry’s past.

This is an absolutely fantastic show, it totally blew us away with the spot-on casting, brilliant acting and incredible special effects. We came away wanting to immediately see it all over again! If you get a chance to see this, please do it’s well worth the money. In typical me style, I was going to write a review but never got around to it, however, we are currently a few days in from the release of the fifth and final season of Stranger Things and having seen post after post questioning certain aspects of the show, I’ve realised how important it is for viewers to know about this origin story and how much of what we saw laid out in the play matters now that we have hit season 5. Here’s the back story low down… (this is full of spoilers, turn back now if you want the show to be a surprise).
