Category: Reviews

Reviews on my blog are all carefully chosen to ensure that they are the right fit for us as well as for you my readers. I enjoy writing these and I love being able to share great products and days’ out with you all.

You can feel assured that I won’t ever review something that doesn’t feel morally wrong, that isn’t ethical, that isn’t relevant to you guys and that just doesn’t feel right to me. There are certain areas I won’t ever cover which includes anything ‘relationship’ wise (if you catch my drift) and no drugs etc.

I love talking about baby products, health and skincare products, anything kid related and of course great days’ out! All of my reviews are open, honest and written from my point of view only. I am never swayed by a product, experience or payment.

REAL Kombucha Review

Posted on December 21, 2021December 21, 2021 by Emma Reed

As somebody who isn’t a big drinker especially at home, I am always on the lookout for a drink that is refreshing and a nice alternative to alcohol. I’d heard of Kombucha from a few friends online and I often see people brewing their own so I was quite curious about what it actually was and how it tasted. REAL Kombucha then got into contact to ask if I would like to give their brews a try so I thought this was a great opportunity to see what everyone was talking about.

hansgrohe Rainfinity 3jet EcoSmart Hand Shower Review

What first comes to mind when you think about saving water? Turning the tap off when you brush your teeth? Using a watering can rather than a hose? Choosing the eco setting on your dishwasher? All of these are true but have you ever wondered about your shower head? Did you know that with the right one, you could have a far better showering experience whilst saving up to 60% of the water you use?! Sounds amazing, doesn’t it? The hansgrohe Rainfinity 3jet EcoSmart hand shower is one of these and I was sent one to review by SaveMoneyCutCarbon so I could really see the benefits for myself.

Review | Scentered Aromatherapy Wellbeing Balms and Candles

Posted on November 10, 2021January 7, 2022 by Emma Reed

As a busy Mum of 2 very active boys, I find self-care to be one of the hardest things on my (long) list to squeeze into my week. I certainly think that going from a slower-paced life to a faster one after lockdown has been a bit of a shock to the system and I have felt as though I have burnt myself quite a bit. I know they say that you can’t pour from an empty cup which is why I am actively trying to make more time for me and one way I have been doing this is by trying out Scentered Aromatherapy Wellbeing Balms and Candles which were sent to me in both the De-stress and Sleep well scents for review.

Review | Lazy Bear Recycled PET Foldable Bum Bags

Posted on October 19, 2021October 19, 2021 by Emma Reed

As a busy family and dog owners we are never seen out and about without some sort of bag but what I realised during the summer months was that it started to become quite tiresome always carrying one. There wasn’t any way we could get around it, not with a potty training toddler, the warm weather (meaning we needed water) plus long walks where we’d need snacks so we just got on with it but I was then asked by TrendHim to review some of their Lazy Bear recycled PET Lawson grey and red foldable bum bags and they have been a complete gamechanger.
