Teleshopping is evil, pure evil. You are sitting there with nothing else to watch, and after about twenty minutes you have decided that your life is incomplete unless you get hold of whatever product they are advertising. This happened to me a few months ago when I was watching an advert for a steam mop. Although we manage to keep our house tidy and clean, I felt as though some areas of our house just
Degustabox is a monthly surprise food and drink subscription box. The items you get are a surprise and the box encourages you to try different recipes and ingredients. I have really enjoyed the July and August boxes, and the September Degustabox did not fail to impress me. This box includes a great assortment of things I can pop in my lunch bag (the lentil waves and the Pick Up bars), a little something to
The day my Degustabox arrived, I was having the week from hell. Everything that could go wrong did and on top of this I was extremely busy. Not a good combination. I almost cried with joy when I got home and opened up the box. Although I have only received two boxes, my first box left me wondering whether to continue. The August box, however, had me certain that I wanted to continue. Included in
I’ve been reading a lot about Degustabox across various blogs, so I thought I would give it a try for a thrifty review. I had contacted Degustabox asking if they would be willing to supply a box for a blog review, but they didn’t get back to me until they were preparing the boxes – after I had already paid for my first box. So this review comes from someone who has forked out their
I love a good rummage around a boot sale, and the past few months have been great for finding amazing things for sale. I’m on the lookout for things to resell on eBay, Nice Things for me and wedding stuff. I’ve started posting some of my hauls to YouTube (here is my most recent one including a dressing table mirror!) but I thought I’d share some of my other finds with you. The first boot
It’s no secret that I love Orlando, Florida. It’s where Tony proposed, it’s where I’ve been on holiday for the past 3 years and it’s where we definitely want our honeymoon (with a few upgrades!). I knew that realistically, we couldn’t afford to go to Florida again this year, and we’d have to wait for our honeymoon next year. This upset me more than I am willing to admit, so I’m really excited that we’ve
‘If it appreciates, buy it. If it depreciates, lease it’. Wise words by Paul Getty, a billionaire oil tycoon. And that’s why I now always lease a car! You might be wondering if you can save money with a lease car, or whether it really is good value for money. Here are my thoughts. Let’s rewind a couple of months. One Sunday, my friend and I go to the cinema and grab some lunch, and of course,
I have long, thick hair that often gets weighed down and I suffer from product build up, often resorting to using bicarb to eliminate my greasy hair. I also straighten my hair with GHDs 95% of the time, which means the ends are always in need of conditioning. The condition of my hair is better since investing in a GHD air hair dryer, but I’m always looking for thrifty ways to improve my hair. I
