Family Fun Day

I have been really busy lately, my daughter has done a lot with her dancing and swimming with classes as well as competitions and she is 4 nearly 5, i am so proud of her as she won her first trophy in a freestyle pair competition by coming 6th with her dance partner Josh. They did a fantastic job, it was Ebony’s first competition and Josh’s 2nd.

We took some time out and went to a family fun day, everything was free. There were bouncy castles, bouncy slides, climbing walls, free food such as candy floss, cakes, hot dogs and drinks, there was face painting, nail art and a load of other fun activities again all completely free. Ebony spent most of her time on the bouncy slides with her cousins.

There was a sumo wresting game where they had to wear proper sumo wresting outfits, it was absolutely hilarious watching them all. Well Ebony wanted a go and her cousin Jack had know one to wrestle, so they wrestled each other, a 4 year old sumo wrestling a 12 year old lmao! It was so funny, Ebony fell over before she even started, of course Jack took it easy on her and let her win sometimes as was to scared in case he hurt her but when he did take her down she couldn’t stop laughing.

We all had a great time, had our fair share of cakes and hot dogs and then some lol and then went shopping for an upcoming wedding as the dress I had ordered for Ebony wasn’t the colour I ordered and the top I ordered didn’t fit my boobs grrr! Storey of my life its either my boobs or my butt haha.

Thank you all for reading I will put the video up so you can see the sumo fight it was funny and love them both, It is great when you can have family fun, much love Tasha xxx

Product review – NSPA Treatment Elixir Oil

NSPA Treatment Elixir Oil for Normal/Dry Hair, 150ml

Like most parents I have a very wingy 4 year old when it comes to brushing her hair, I have tried using a tangle teezer although great, the hair breakage that comes along with it from using it everyday isn’t. I wanted to find something I could put in her hair that would help, I already used a detangling spray everyday (I have tried a few) which kind of helped but wasn’t fantastic. I was shopping in Asda and I saw the nspa treatment elixir oil on sale for approx £2 original price tag of £4.95. I thought well its on offer i will give it a go otherwise if it doesn’t work I’m only a few pounds down. Well I was very happy and impressed I gave it a go! I used it on myself as well as my daughter, I washed both of our hairs normally, towel dried them and used 2 pumps of oil, rubbed it in my hands and evenly distributed it throughout the hair, then came the test. Normally when I brushed our hair after a bath/shower it was knotty. Unfortunately for my daughter she has my thick long hair, well I started to brush my daughters hair and was amazingly surprised. There was NO knots or tangles and I could brush her hair without her screaming and crying even though I am extremely gentle. I am a qualified hairdresser and aware on how to brush the hair properly, still doesn’t stop my 4 year old making a fuss. I have used this product every day for the last 4 weeks and I am very impressed. My daughter went for her swimming lesson this week and I wondered what would happen if I didn’t put it in?, would it make a difference?, was i imagining the difference?, you guessed it, it was knotty and full of tangles, I wont be making that mistake again and this product will be a full-time part of our daily routine! It has made our hair feel soft, not frizzy (for me a big benefit as I don’t have to straighten my hair daily anymore), It has revived our hair and looks hydrated but most importantly it does NOT look greasy from the oil, it is a lightweight oil and you do not notice it is in your hair. It dries nicely instead of having big, frizzy, buffy hair! I cant imagine this product not being used in our daily routines as it really does a fantastic job, I would highly recommend this to everyone, especially people with very knotty hair, I just wish I found this product sooner!!

Optrex Eye Revive Moisture Mist

I was accepted onto the bzzagent campaign to try for free the Optrex Moisture Mist, this arrived a few days ago and of course I was happy to try it. It claims to restore the eye’s natural moisture barrier to revive tired eyes and to moisturize the delicate skin around your eyes as it contains pro-vitamin B5. It claims it can be used with contact lenses and will not smudge your make up. That of course sounds fantastic as my eyes are always looking tired due to lack of sleep every night, these last few weeks I have had a really sick 4 year old who I have had to take to the doctors back and forth (she’s much better now), she still gets up in the night sometimes, I then get up early and go to bed late and then have all the other stresses etc throughout the day, so my eyes are always sore, tired, dry, sometimes red, you can also see the bags under my eyes, It’s not like i can go for a nap during the day so having a product that claims to help is fantastic.

I opened the cute little box it came in and took the bottle out, the bottle reminds me of a nail treatment bottle, its a clear bottle with a blue lid, so I took the lid off, it says to spray a few times on first time use to load the pump, only took 2 squirts to do this, I then closed my eyes and sprayed, WOW i didn’t expect all that coverage!  there is a subtle fragrance that I can’t pin point what it is at the moment, its a nice fragrance and only lasts a few seconds. Once sprayed it takes approx 30 seconds for the product to dry and settle on your face, my eyes at first had a funny sensation when I was blinking which quickly went which I can only assume is the product going into my eyes to do its job . I had sprayed my eyes 3 times during the day and my eyes definitely looked much more awake and felt less tired and sore even though my body itself felt tired, I had no redness or dryness either, the best bit was my make up was still intact! When a product claims it will not smudge your make up I am always skeptical as a lot of products do even though they claim they dont, this product DID NOT smudge my make up at all and I hadn’t done any touch ups at all that day which sometimes I would have to depending on what I used.

The Optrex Eye Revive Moisture Mist is a nice size to keep in your handbag to spray your eyes throughout the day, so you do not have to be without it and there can be no excuses as to why you can’t use it when you need a little pick me up.

I would definitely recommend this product to people who feel tired, have dry eyes and have redness in the eyes, i have used this for a few days and it is a great little product, I do not wear contact lenses so I cannot comment regarding that issue but this product was a success for me, I have seen this product for sale at boots.

These comments are my own personal opinion, I was given this product for free to test it and then form my own personal opinion, I would not recommend a product if I didn’t in anyway believe in the product or think it wasn’t any good, neither would I leave a false review. I do genuinely think this product is fantastic and will continue to use it, what have you got to lose? Go try this product today.

Below is a picture of me after a very busy day, looking alert, non tired face and make up intact after using this product.

Thank you for reading much love Tasha xxxx

Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi Review

I was so pleased to get accepted onto this campaign from bzzagent and then to actually receive the product, I received it through royal mail and then tested it straight away as my feet are one of the worse things on my body! they are always getting dry, looking disgusting, feeling uneven, cracked so I was really excited to try it, I’ve tried a few products and none really did the job so to be honest I was a bit dubious and wondering will it work? so I turned it on I was a little shocked about the noise of this product, it is very loud, surprisingly this done a perfect job, got to places that I didn’t think it would, it has made my skin even, smooth and they look great! I even get thick, dry, cracked skin on my toes and on one of my ankles, this also took care of them and I couldn’t be more pleased! the serum that works with the product I thought would be sticky as most creams/serums are however this serum is not sticky, it dries really quick so you don’t have to worry about walking around and things sticking to it, its lightweight and not greasy, I didn’t feel it got stuck on my hands and then having to wipe off, I did not feel any burning sensation or any pain from keeping it in one area too long like I have with other machines. I would recommend this product as it is fantastic so with the only complaint being the noise of the machine I can live with, I will continue to use this product and trial it to see if it can still reach the high expectations it has already reached.

My new foot care routine

 Firstly I soak my feet in a Pedi spa for approx 15-20 minutes in luke warm water, then I gently dab my feet with a towel to gently dry them, after they are dried I use my Scholl Velvet Smooth Express Pedi to remove all the dead and dry skin, I start with the right foot first and then I go on to do the left, I attack the bottom of my feet, then go around the sides, gently do my toes where there is built up dry skin and the same for one of my ankles, I then take a nail file and file my toe nails to shape them, I apply the serum all over and rub in until the serum has dried and disappeared, if I wanted to put some nail polish on to add a splash of colour I do as mentioned above but add the following the steps, I will gently push my cuticles back with a cuticle pusher and remove the dead cuticle off the nail plate, I will then take a cotton ball with a bit of non acetone polish remover onto it and squeak my nails clean to remove the serum just off of the toe nails as the polish will not adhere properly if there is any creams or lotions on the nails, I then apply a base coat, 2-3 coats of coloured polish and a top coat. This is my new foot care routine for them gorgeous summer feet!

colour on my toes gelish is Queen of hearts 

#GotItFree

This is my own opinion formed from trying this product, know one has influenced me in any way, I really do think this is a great product and the only thing I feel that let this product down was the noise, I will definitely be using this product again and is now apart of my new foot care routine, thanks to everyone who has read this much love tasha xxxxxx
