Christmas Eve Box created for my daughter

I was looking on Pinterest at Christmas crafts and I seen a Christmas Eve box, it had a new set of pjs, hot chocolate, a book and a DVD, I thought it was a fantastic, so I got thinking. I started thinking about what my 4 year old little girl would want if she had one and what I would put it in, she loves reading, stickers and lately watching Christmas films whilst eating a little bit of popcorn. We had recently had sky hd installed with a new sky box so I thought the box it came in would be fantastic to store everything in it, I then wrapped it in ebony’s wrapping paper she choose (monsters inc), it was really tricky wrapping it as it had so many different flaps but I managed it. I put in a brand new pink Christmas onesie, a Christmas book, a Christmas sticker book, 2 bags of sweet microwave popcorn, 3 DVDs and I put 4 bags of different chocolate sweet bags in, obviously these aren’t all for her as me and her dad will be watching it all with her, so I have catered for all. This box has a lot of potential such as adding hot chocolate, I would have added hot chocolate with marshmallows but ebony doesn’t like it. I hope this inspires you to create a Christmas Eve box for yourself or even your little one/ones. My little girl has seen hers and is really excited about it, more so than her Christmas presents which I didn’t think was possible! She has shown off her box to all her family and friends, some of which are now considering making one for their child/children. It has been a lot of fun creating this for my daughter and watching her with excitement seeing her box. I hope everyone has a fantastic Christmas wherever you all may be, I wish you good health and happiness much love Tasha xxx

A2 milk review

I got these free from a2 milk via bzzagent and was excited to try this campaign, I received a booklet informing about a2 milk, some coupons for myself and some coupons to pass on to friends and family. I am always sensitive to milk so I try and have as little as possible. I received the vouchers through the post and then the fun began…trying to locate the milk in a shop, i struggled at first but then managed to find it in one of the big Tesco Extra stores. The best bit with using the coupons was what happened at the till, the milk was £1.99 each or 2 for £3.50, I used 2 coupons at £1.99 each so it took 48p off my other shopping! can’t complain with that.

I went home and couldn’t wait to trial the milk, it came in a cute little packaging. So I tried the milk with tea, hot chocolate, cereal and milkshakes, I really could not tell the difference between normal milk and a2 milk and neither could my family members. So so far so good. Myself and my daughter has a sensitive stomach and sometimes feel ill after drinking too much milk, I normally try to eat as little milk as possible with my cereal but I gave it a shot with a2 and I was surprised to say I did not feel sick, I had no cramps and I had no bloating which is what I normally get when I drink normal milk. After 2 weeks trialling the milk, I can finally see the difference between normal milk and a2 milk, its how I feel within myself with not feeling ill all of the time and where before I wanted to stay in, I am now happy to go out, I would definitely recommend this to people who have sensitive stomachs.

Now that I am feeling better within myself, I am now motivated to lose the weight and take care of myself and all because of the difference I feel within my body.

The following below is taken from A2

Some may not be aware that their issues could be related to an intolerance to A1 protein. Found in regular milk, some may struggle to digest A1. Luckily, a2 Milk is sourced from British cows that naturally produce only milk containing A2 protein and no A1 protein.

These are my own personal views on the product, I was NOT paid or told to leave a positive review, I was asked to leave an accurate view of how I felt, these are all my own words, thoughts and opinions.

L’oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss Review

I received the L’oreal Paris Casting Crème Gloss in the colour Plum free to try from L’oreal via BzzAgent. My hair was annoying me as the colour had faded and it looked dull and this campaign was right up my street. I was happy to see they had some actual colours on there, rather than just being the normal natural colours of blondes and browns. So I chose the colour Plum, when it came I was so excited, it came in a nice pink box and the packaging for the hair colour looked cute. I read the instructions and it said it would develop in 20 minutes and that it was ammonia free. It came with the colour, the developer, gloves and conditioner, I also had some coupons to hand out to friends for them to try with some money off. I opened it and mixed it together, there was no horrible smell like the other colours I have used in the past, it was a nice smell, it was very easy to apply and didnt take to long, I have very thick and long hair so it would of been nice to have a little extra product. I waited the 20 minutes and i had no dripping, I did accidently lean against the cream leather sofa and white living room door…OOPS, it came off the door but still have some on the sofa. I washed the colour out which took approx 10-15 minutes for the water to fully run clear and I used the conditioner. My hair smelt really nice. I went downstairs to dry my hair so I couldn’t see myself in the mirror, I wanted the full effect, after finishing drying my hair I went and looked in the mirror….WOW, my hair was a bit darker than I expected but I thought it was great, it was a nice dark purple colour and when you stepped in the light you could see a really light vibrant purple tone. My hair felt great, it did not feel damaged in any way and felt renewed, vibrant and full of life. The colour actually did what it said on the packaging and it fulfilled what it promised. I am impressed, I have washed my hair and havn’t found it has faded yet as it says it lasts upto 28 washes.

I would recommend this to anyone who wants something different, that isn’t permanent and wants their hair to feel great, I do not have any grey hairs so I cannot comment about that but I have heard good results from friends saying it does.

I may of received this product for free but I have NOT been told what to right or leave a positive review, I have been asked to leave an honest review and this is my honest opinion.

Thanks everyone for reading much love Tasha xxx
