Spooky Suprises to be found in Poundland

So this week I had more of a challenge then a product to review. The lovely people at Poundland set me the task of taking a £10 voucher to my local poundland and seeing just how many ghostly goodies I could get for it.

So off I went with my 2 year old in tow to do just that. And I have to say I was suprisingly impressed. They had a massive selection to pick from ranging from freaky face paints to devilish decorations and all for a pound.

Basket in hand me and my daughter were soon laughing away trying on witches hats and cat ears before settling upon what we wanted.Quick stop at the till and we're on our way looking forward to halloween when we get to show everyone our stash.

And for all those people who wont get to see what we got for our £10 here is a list of the pocket friendly products we grabbed:

Spiders web wings (Purple)
Girls Lace Tutu (Purple & Black)
Girls Purple Halloween Top
20 Halloween Balloons
Inflateable Halloween Chair (Purple)
Halloween Candy Loot Bucket
Haribo Horror Mix
Spooky Popcorn
40 Horror Pops
Halloween Bubble Sword (Purple)


My little girl is going to look very cute on halloween as a purple witch and I will of course post a picture when the day comes of her in her get up. But until then if your looking for some fright fest treats for your kids get on over to poundland and see just how far your pound will go!

Mya's Review: Tinga Tinga Tales Bath Figure Monkey

Jambo!

This weeks reviewed product isn't for me :( it was actually a lovely little toy that was sent to my daughter to try.It's one of the new Ting Tinga Tales Toys and its so cute.



This cheeky little fella sells for £5.00 and is very well made and easy for even little fingers to squirt.

For anyone who doesnt know Tinga Tinga Tales is a show on Cbeebies that tells the tales of the animals that live in africa for example why elephant has a trunk.Its is a bright and cheery show that my daughter absolutely loves.

Mya has been using the toy now for a while and has an absolute blast at bath time squirting mummy and daddy in the face everytime they go near her with a flannel.

In her own words "its fun mummy's wet"

I'm definately going to be taking a look at the other Tinga Tinga toys for mya's christmas presents and if your stuck for things to buy your little one this year that wont break the bank I definately recommend considering one of these.

Funky Divaa Fashion Fix

So its been a while since I've done a fashion fix, filming for the wedding/tv show is taking up all my attention lol. But Ive just had a browse of their website and spotted some gems!

Now my wedding theme colours are burgundy and black so my inspiration has come from there. And this is an outfit that I would definately strut my stuff in for the cameras.






I think this is a perfect combination of this seasons bright jeans and that grown up rock chic look and it's definately something that could be dressed up for evening or down during the day with a great pair of biker boots and a chunky scarf.

What do you think? And dont forget code ZOE15 will get you a nice little discount too!

Review: Tiddley Pom Baby Massage Products

I love a good massage well who wouldn't, some precious time alone to unwind,relax and let the tensions flow away. So when I had my daughter and I was handed the various information leaflets about on baby massage it was a natural thing for me to treat her to that wonderous feeling too. Shes a bit older now but still loves nothing more then a nice relaxing massage from mummy so when I was approached to try a new natural baby spa product from Tiddley Pom I jumped at the chance. Well my little girl likes pampering as much as mummy does!

The product itself comes in lovely natural looking packaging with a little bee on that creates thoughts of winnie the pooh and the hundred acre woods.And they also sent along with it a really informative dvd that explains how to prepare for the massage, and the steps to follow to give your baby that blissed out feeling (which my friends have all borrowed at some point too).

Now the oil isn't very scented which I was kind of dissapointed about but then thats probably a good thing if you are using it on younger babies as harsher scents often come from harsher chemicals that definately aren't natural and really shouldnt be going near the pillowy soft skin a new born has.Its very easy to massage with and absorbs well without leaving the skin feeling greasy which is my biggest bug bear when I have a massage.Although I did find that I had to use quite a bit possibly because I am now massaging a toddler not a baby lol.

All in all it is a very nice product.It retails at £7.99 for the massage oil and £15 for the dvd, which im not sure I would have purchased had I been buying this myself but that being said it definately is useful if you are new to baby massage.

Mya my daughter gives it a big thumbs up too and theres nothing better then a calm and collected toddler before bedtime!
