Jabra Sport Wireless + Review

Posted on 10th January 2015 by Anthony

I was sceptical when I was sent these for a few reasons, one being that I had never tried wireless earphones before and another that I had never got on well with plug ins so I was expecting to try and instantly think they were awful. How very very wrong I was though I was…

Posted on 22nd May 2014 by swanny

I was recently invited along to a workshop with Maynards, the sweet company, at London Zoo for the launch of their new sweets and phone app, Maynards Discovery Patch. The day was really eye opening as we discussed ways in which we can help our children use their imaginations and promote more imaginary play around…

Weights are your Friend NOT the Enemy!

Posted on 25th April 2014 by Anthony

As a personal trainer most of my clientele are female and nearly on a daily basis hear the words ‘I don’t want to do weights as I don’t want to get big and bulky.’ Well this post is here to tell all you ladies that that statement couldn’t be further from the truth and doing…

Vapr L1 disposable e-cigarettes

Posted on 31st March 2014 by swanny

A little while back I wrote about e-cigarettes and how they’re becoming a popular choice, especially with those people who’re trying to give up. Well, I made a fantastic little discovery recently.

Introducing Wonderful Wiglet Wednesdays

Posted on 17th February 2014 by swanny

Over the past year, I have come across some awesome small businesses. One of my favourites is the unusual but wonderful Geisha Wigs. I say unusual because people seem to have very negative views of wigs generally. Most people I spoke to about wigs seemed to think immediately of  80’s style mops of hair. This…

Review: SMask Caviar Face Mask*

Posted on 14th February 2014 by Gem

I’m firmly of the opinion that if you love yourself, everything else will fall into place. So whilst the rest of the world and his wife are out wining and dining this Valentine’s Day I’ll be popping on a movie (preferably one with Ryan Gosling), cracking open a bottle of wine and showing my face…

Gtech – The must have vacuum brand for everyone!

Posted on 9th February 2014 by swanny

It’s rare a product comes up that get’s me so excited, and even rarer that it’s a household product. As a wife and Mum to a 2 year old, household products are just a must have and not considered ‘sexy’ in any way. Okay, so you’re probably all laughing at me now. ‘A ‘sexy’ household…
