Tesco finest vintage English cheddar cheese

I was accepted onto the Tesco orchards finest cheese campaign. I received a £3 coupon for £3 off any tesco finest cheese and some pass along coupons to give to friends and family. I went to my local tesco and found the tesco finest cheese selection easily on the shelf once i was in the cheese section, there was a big selection to choose from and we seen the Tesco finest vintage English cheddar cheese on offer for £2.50 so we picked up two packs as we thought this would be the best fit for our family as we are big cheddar cheese fans but not so keen on other cheeses. I had no problem using my coupon at the till but I did ask where I received my coupon to which I replied Tesco orchard.

I took my cheese home and wanted to try it straight away...I'm a bit impatient like that so we decided to go for enchiladas, we grated the cheese and it grated nicely, it didn't stick together like some cheese can and it gave nice even slices and not breaking a part or crumbling, it was really nice cheese to work with. We sprinkled it on top of the enchiladas and put it in the oven for a few minutes and as you can see above it came out beautifully. We don't like our cheese overcooked or burnt, we like it when it goes all stringy like. When it came to eating it, it was really nice, it has a slightly different taste from our normal cheese but it was nice, the texture of the cheese was good too.

I tried it on a few dishes such as cheese on toast and we made cheesy pasta and again all nice.

We hadn't tried it just on its own yet so we cut off a few slices and tried one bit on its own and it was absolutely delicious, it melted in your mouth with a creamy texture. So we had some crackers with it and my daughter just ate the cheese, she is a big cheese fan and could eat it all day if you let her.

The packaging was nice, it was just a basic white packaging with a black label telling you what it was, you could easily see this is a premium cheese but does the packaging really matter...not really it's more about the product on the inside but sometimes we can be swayed just by the packaging on the outside.

I got this for free buy joining the Tesco Orchard, i have had quite a few campaigns now and they get better and better, you have nothing to lose by joining up and you could be trialing products too just by leaving some reviews, facebook posts, twitter posts and whatever else it asks you to do on the campaign.

The reviews i leave are my own personal experiences, you may have a slightly different experience as we are all different, the reviews I write are honest, I would never leave a good review on a bad product as what is the point and I personally hate it when people do that as if someone goes out and purchases it on their recommendation, they have then just wasted their money.

My reviews are my own personal feelings and I have not been paid, bribed etc to leave a positive review and I do not have to leave a positive review just because I have joined the Tesco Orchard as negative reviews are accepted too.

Thank you all for reading and hope you grab a bargain, trial a new product and have a great day much love Tasha xx

Braun Silk-epil 5 and Braun Series 3

I joined supersavvyme a few years ago but never got accepted for a campaign, well my luck changed and i finally got accepted for a campaign that both myself and my husband could try together, I received the Braun Silk-epil 5 (epilator) and my husband received the Braun Series 3 (shaver). Once accepted they did not take long to arrive, they came on the day they said they would which was exciting, they came in a massive box. When we opened the box the above picture is what we found inside, it came with both products as well as a project handbook that tells you about the products and what we have to do to complete this campaign. 

We had to leave a review on the supersavvyme tried and tested page where other people can see reviews for the products and make their own decision based upon the reviews, I myself check reviews on products before I trial it, just because I see a bad review if the price isn't too bad I may still trial it as I may find another result that others haven't, as what works for one may not work for another.

These are the reviews we left for the products above.

Braun Silk-epil 5 - My product review

i have never used an epilator before and i got this for free from supersavvyme to trial, i have always used a normal razor, it came really nicely packaged, the epilator looked nice, it wasn't too heavy which is important as i struggle with some because i have upper arm problems, i was a bit nervous using it but i needn't of been, it was so easy to use, it didn't hurt and it left my legs silky smooth, i would definitely recommend others to try who havn't done so before. It is slightly noisy but if you do it with music in the background you don't nervous, i wasn't overly too impressed with having to find a plug to fit as it came with not a uk fitting but luckily i had one lying about so it didn't matter too much. all the information i needed for use was all in the box

Braun Series 3 - Husbands product review

hubby got this free to trial from supersavvyme on a dual trial, it came in a nice packaging, it isn't too heavy, it looks good. it is very easy to use, leaves a nice smooth finish, my husband loved all the extras it came with and having it altogether, it didn't pull the hair or irritate the skin, it is easy to clean, hubby was impressed and so was i.

So we tested the products and thought they were great, I would recommend them as it was both our first times trying something like these and they have worked for us, will I continue to use them....? yes I will but I will always try something new as with most women and mothers you want something that is easy and quick but also want something that's new.

These are my own and my husband's personal opinions, we have not been paid to write this review, this personal review was not asked, yes we got free products to trial but I will not be penalized if I left a negative review, I however have left a positive review as this is my own findings and correct at time of posting. I know how frustrating it is to find a positive review on a product that is not great and felt mislead.

Thank you for reading everyone 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!!
