Beauty, Bargains and Beyond

Since we have been back in Lockdown again for 1 month I thought I would update you all on what I have been getting up to.  Mostly I have been binge watching entire series of some of my favourite old TV shows.   First of all I watched 5 seasons of The Originals on Netflix.  I had only watched 1 season in the past and then I somehow missed the other seasons. I don't know why this happened as I absolutely loved watching the whole thing in one go. The main draw is the bromance between vampire brothers Klaus & Elijah, but the other relationships are a big draw too.  I wholeheartedly recommend this series and if you don't tear up at the final ever episode then you need to have a good hard talk with yourself. Following on from the Originals, I got stuck into The Originals parent series The Vampire Diaries.  Sadly this has now disappeared from Netflix, so I had to buy the final couple of series on DVD to finish it off.  The bromance relationships are stron...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I don't know about you, but with everything in the world being about Covid-19 right now, I have almost forgotten about the common cold.  Coming into winter is a time when I usually suffer from colds the most and when I suffer from colds, I just want to crawl into bed and sleep until it's over with.  Being that we can't go out much at the moment, I have to say that I haven't really had many colds this year, but when I felt the first telltale symptoms that a cold was brewing (scratchy throat, runny nose that sort of thing), I reached for ColdZyme which is a product that can help prevent or shorten a common cold.  Since I have been using this product, I haven't suffered from a full blown cold at all. ColdZyme is a mouth spray that fights the cold virus which is the cause of a common cold. The mouth spray is so easy to use, you simply open your mouth and aim the nozzle of the spray towards your throat then p...

   *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was recently invited to try out the BIOGLAN Red Krill Oil 1000mg MAX Strength Supplements*. Part of the review was to undertake a blood test at the beginning and end of the 2 month trial in order to monitor any increases in my Omega-3 levels after taking the supplements. Krill Oil is more efficient than many other sources of Omega-3's.  These supplements contain pure Krill Oil sourced from the waters of the Antartic Ocean and is fully traceable and sustainable as certified by the Marine Stewardship Council. Krill Oil is naturally high in Omega-3 fatty acids and rich in Astaxanthin which is responsible for the red colour of the oil. Each capsule of Red Krill Oil 1000mg contains a highly absorbable form of DHA  (Docosahexaenoic acid)  to help support brain function and vision. The EPA (Eicosapentanoic acid) and DHA  together in Red Krill Oil help support the heart function. You need to take 1...

   *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have reached an age where I'm using supplements, not to combat the aging process, but help it go as smoothly as possible.  I don't think it hurts to help out our bodies and minds as much as we can  and help them stay as healthy and sharp as possible by taking supplements.  One of the products that I am using is Reverse Life Marine Collagen* a liquid supplement which I was kindly sent to try out.   You only need to take 25ml daily and there is a convenient cap that comes with it which measures it out for you and you can drink it directly from the cap.  It is responsibly sourced as well as being Gluten, fat and diary free. It includes Hyaluronic Acid, Biotin, Vitamins C, B12, B5 & B6. This product provides a 10,000mg dose of hydrolysed marine collagen per 25ml serving. The company states on their website that you will see a difference in as little as 2 weeks. The produ...

I have to admit that one of my favourite stores to shop in is Space NK.  They sell a great range of high end beauty products and the people that work there are always friendly and helpful. They have a great loyalty programme too.  N.DULGE allows you to collect points as you shop. You get 1 point for every £1 spent and 100 points gets you a £5 reward to spend on products.  You can collect the rewards until you have enough to buy a product that you want to try or you can just knock £5 off your order as and when you receive your reward.  There is no minimum spend when you want to use your reward.  You can also collect points when you review products on their website. For each review you will receive 10 points and you can review 10 products per month. One of the best reasons to sign up for N.DULGE is the fab birthday gift that you can collect on your birthday (usually for a month after your actual birthday). I am lucky that there is a store in Leeds so I can pick up...
