Kiehl or No Kiehl #ChangeYourSkin

I celebrated my birthday on Friday past and I can't tell you how many times I got asked my age.

I hesitated answering the question every time.

Afterwards, I asked myself why?

It's not that I didn't want to reveal my age, it's just I don't feel my age.

When I say the number 43 out loud it makes me seems old - like a Tannie - and my age doesn't truly reflect how I feel inside.  I still feel young and I still have tons of stuff I want to do in my life.  I have too much on my bucket list to feel old.

I do my best to look after my hair and skin.  I go to gym three to four times a week and I can run 5km in under 30 minutes.  I try to stick to a balanced diet and drink my daily quota of water.

So, when Beauty Bulletin approached me to be a guinea pig for them using Kiehl's iconic products that promised to change my skin and appear as young as I feel inside, I jumped....and smiled...then whopped.

I'm ready to take The Challenge!

What Challenge I hear you ask?

The Kiehl's #ChangeYourSkin Challenge.  Essentially, I will be crash testing Kiehl's #SuperSerums and blogging my progress from start to finish.  I will be posting before after photos (without make up) so that you can watch the magic happen to my skin in 28 days.

I have great expectations from these pretty smelling bottles, I'm hoping they make me look as fabulous on the outside as I feel on the inside.

In order for you to follow my progress through this challenge, you have to pick your poison.  I have plenty platforms to choose from.    Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or check out my posts on Beauty Bulletin.

Oh, I know that Kiehl's is way older than me...my measly 43  years versus their 160 years?  Not much competition there, but I'm certainly gonna give it a whirl.

Wax On. Wax Off

Watch my video comparing Duct Tape Waxing versus Nair Wax Strips. The Challenge is On Like Donkey Kong Stax of Wax...

You're only as good as your last toss, right?

Here I am talking about 5 different uses for Batiste Dry Shampoo and tossing things around.

Stay Tuned for my next product review involving wax.

  Booyah!

Time in A Can

Oh I know, Plonkers, I haven't blogged for yonks, but I have still been reading blogs and lurking around. 

I've been back on the Dukan Diet and lost another 7.2kg, so I celebrated by doing a Batiste Dry Shampoo Product Review. 

I think 7 years worth of blogging will make you take a break and focus on other things for a while....

Like family, getting back into shape, running and starting to do regular 5km outdoor runs every Saturday morning... Oh I know, things have changed haven't they? 

I've also stopped smoking again (been almost 3 months) and back on the healthy eating wagon. 

I'll never be able to give up my wine though....Hey! A lass has to have at least ONE vice, right? 

It's either that or chocolate covered Toffee.

My Nivea CELLular Anti-Age Skin Rejuvenation Serum review.

 

TheSnugg

So I was asked to review TheSnugg, which they claim is a "robust, case, cover and stand for my Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1".

Here's what I think:

The first thing I noticed when I opened TheSnugg, was the smell.  That brand new PU Leather smell. It’s an awesome nostril filler. The same one you get when you slide into a brand new car with leather seats.  Yeah.... it's right up there with petrol and vanilla, Plonkers!  

I love the funky stitching and logo, which is incredibly modern and stylish.  Shaawiiiiing!

I was soopa excited that TheSnugg comes in my favourite colour, which is ORANGE. There are hardly any orange tablet or phone accessories out there that come in orange.  Check out there other funky colours!   

Delivery was swift and prompt and was generously packaged.  Some companies often skimp on packaging and then the product often gets damaged in transit.

The Snugg has 2 upright positions.  

One is a stand-up presentation mode and the other one is a lower view, which is perfect for using in the kitchen for reading your recipes.

The Snugg is soopa slim and is compact enough to fit in your notebook bag or, in my case, my handbag  [Only because my fucking handbag is the size of a small country!]

What I was really impressed with was the wide, stable hand strap that allows you to hold the device and frees up your other hand to quickly and accurately navigate the tablet. Perfect for playing games or being the Instagram Whore that I am, scroll through and love all those gorgeous photos.

The Snugg cover allows you to plug in and charge your table without having to remove it from the cover.  And another cool features is when you close the cover, it switches of the tablet.

One thing I did notice, was that the cover needs to be closed in order to remove the stylus.  So you have to stop what you're doing, close the cover, remove stylus, open up again before returning to what you were doing.

TheSnugg is really just that. Snugg.  Your tablet does not slide around inside the cover, like some other covers.  So you can be certain that your precious tablet its save, snug and secure.  The really strong magnet keep it tightly shut when you’re not using it too.  Durable and sturdy enough for even the kids to abuse and lob around! 

Don't forget to visit tomorrow for Friday's Shoegasm!

A Vanishing Act

The Awesome James from Performics sent me a bunch of stuff to review, and I had tons of fun performing my own little quality testing.  Vanish proved to be a kick-arse Stain Remover.  Not only does it remove Tea, Coffee and Blood stains, but I blasted that sucker with curry and spicy salsa also.

I was completely amazed that all the stains came out, even after nearly two days in my manky washing basket.

I'm converted, and a newbie Vanish user...and you can use it to wash yer carpets.
