Palmolive Vintage Style Handwash Review....

These beautiful hand soaps were offered for us to test as are new to the market, and we all know my love of all things pretty so couldn't refuse and was delighted to be able to test them out. The hand soaps are made from natural plant extracts and aromatic fragrances, and come in two gorgeous varieties, Lavender & Chamomile and Bergamot & Verbena. As well as a lovely pampering session for ones hands, which leaves them refreshed and lightly fragranced, the vintage styling of the new range will also look so elegant in any any kitchen or bathroom.

These new and very lovely handwashes were made for people like me. I don't really do soap in a dish, and always opt for the handwash if there is a choice. Athough we always have soap in a dish as well as handwash at our bathroom sink, I notice the handwash goes down much more than the soap and these new aromatic handwashes from Palmolive are in a word very pretty.

Bergamot & Verbena
Is Refreshing & Aromatic, you get yourself an instant mood boost with the refreshing Bergamot and Verbena handwash, infused with zesty bergamot oil from Southern Italy and verbena extract.






Lavender & Chamomile
Is Caring & Aromatic, and an experience of the scent of a country garden with Palmolive’s caring Lavender and Chamomile handwash, infused with soothing natural lavender oil from Provence and chamomile extract.



They really are a bargain price too at an RRSP: 250ml of only £1.99, and the best bit is the gorgeous vintage styling they have, perfect for me and my love of all things vintage chic. I can't quite decide which one I prefer. These handwashes I believe are currently only available in Sainsburys and shall be out in Waitrose in March.

Jungle Speed Review....

There has been great joy, fun and laughter in the the Poppins house playing this wonderful game, which was sent for us to try out.




In Jungle Speed, you must rely on your keen sense of observation and quick reflexes. It requires a steady hand which can be hard to keep up, especially for me during all the fun!! The little wooden Totem had us baffled for a little while ( we are a family who doesn't really do instructions, we just like to get stuck in, not always the best way ) though soon realised that it sits in the middle of the table, waiting for the player with the fastest reflexes to snatch it up and win the game.






Each player is dealt a hand of cards, which are shared out and in order to win you must be the first player to get rid of all of your cards. On each turn, all of the players reveal one of their cards, and if two cards are identical, those players must make a grab for the Totem. The faster player then gives their cards to their opponent. To make this game a little more difficult ( Oh dear mummy does really do do difficult ) certain cards are almost identical, which can trick one ( mostly me ) into grabbing the Totem by mistake. This is a real fun game, enjoyed by us all, a little too tricky for the four year old, but he had had fun grabbing the totem anyway!! I can only praise this game, which is fast, furious and trains ones quick thinking and lightning reflexes to outwit opponents. It is aimed at 7+ and I know many adults alike, enjoy this fun game, especially over a nice cold glass of vino. I can only imagine the game having a little extra fun to it ;0) The game can be purchased from many lovely independent retailers that can be found here at Find Your Game Store or indeed over at Amazon

Because Sometimes....

You just need a little treat, and like Lissy Lou I saw this lovely £8.00 CK esque bag here and even though it has a chain strap that I am a little unsure about....



It really did whisper to me in the softest of voice....




BUY ME!!!!
