  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I love pocket sized games as they don't take up a lot of room at home and you can take them with you when you are travelling to help prevent boredom kicking in. Kikkerland's Pop Culture Trivia Game* is a great card game which will trigger some great memories. Questions include "In what year was Facebook launched?", What does FOMO stand for?" and "Which movie did Grace Kelly win her Oscar for Best Actress?". It's fab for all the family.    There are 50 Pop Culture trivia question cards in the tin with multiple choice answers.  It costs £7 and is available from Kikkerlandeu.com .   Leigh 💜

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent a selection of The Humble Co. products* to review recently. The Humble Co. is one of my go-to brands for sustainable dental products especially when I am travelling, so I'm not adding to the disposable plastic that ends up in oceans and landfill. Humble Brush Plant Based Toothbrush 2 Pack * - The Humble Co. have created a plant based Humble brush which has a handle made from a mix of plant based materials & Polypropylene (PP). The products inner and outer packaging is made from paper and is eco-friendly and 100% recyclable. Its vegan, cruelty-free and verified Bisphenol A (BPA) free. These are for sensitive teeth and are very soft and as someone who has sensitive teeth I didn't have any problems using this toothbrush at all. It comes in a pack of 2 brushes and there are 2 colour options - purple & blue brush heads or black & white brush heads. These toothbrushes are available at Hol...

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I am a big fan of BondiBoost Hair products so when I was kindly sent a couple of hair masks I couldn't wait to try them out.  As someone who has dry, frizzy, curly hair that's not as thick as it used to be I need any help I can get with my hair.     BondiBoost Miracle Mask* costs £27.99 and is available from sephora.co.uk . Its a weekly treatment mask which includes nutritious oils including Argan Oil (a potent natural moisturiser), Abyssinian Oil (intensely hydrating), Macadamia (strengthening), Castor Oil (gold standard of hair oils) and Jojoba Oil (fights frizz).  Its suitable for thinning hair types supporting the appearance of thicker, fuller and healthier hair and doesn't leave the hair feeling heavy or oily.  As someone who has reached a stage in life where my hair is not as thick as it used to be this is a great product to use in the bath after shampooing and just lie back and relax le...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I have to admit that when I was younger I didn't realise how important sun cream was and most of the time I would be outside with no sun protection. Obviously I regret that now and sun cream has become a big part of my daily skincare routine.  HADO LABO is a great skincare brand that includes sun protection in their skincare range. Light Hydrator Sun Face Cream SPF50 * is a water resistant moisturising face cream which is perfect to use all year round to protect against sunburn and signs of ageing. It features 3 different UV filters and is packed with anti-ageing ingredients and 3 forms of hyaluronic acid. It uses top-quality, photostable filters to shield the skin against harmful UVA and UVB radiation which can be the main cause of skin spots or discolouration. This cream includes Panthenol, which helps to regenerate collagen and elastin. It also includes the HADA LABO Tokyo signature ingredient, Super Hyaluronic Aci...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. There is no getting away from it. If you own a dog you need to pick up their poo in public.   I recently tried out the Kobe Poo Bag Carrier* which is shaped like a puppy's head.  There aren't many ways to make poo picking nicer to do, but this is one way as its super cute design makes carrying around the old poop bag rolls easy as it attaches to your dogs lead without making it obvious what its carrying. It also comes with a roll of bags to fit inside.   This item can be purchased   here   for £9.99.   Leigh 💜

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Now that its the summer holidays finding things to keep you or your kids happy without spending a fortune is key. Cheatwell Games Travel Gabble* is a fun game that requires 2 teams to play and is suitable for anyone age 12+. Its a quick fire game where you have to describe people, places and things which your team have to try and guess. Its a race against the clock to try and guess as many as possible. The more you describe the more you will score. Just slip a card out of the dispenser and then as people guess, you snap the little poppers on either side of the game to keep track. This is a perfect game to take anywhere - on holiday, airports, trains or just staying at home. It doesn't take up much room, is quick to set up and keeps you giggling throughout. Are you good at describing people or places under pressure? Try this game and find out. There's a timer included to keep you on your toes. This game is ...

  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Connetix is a new company to me but I was excited to try out their Magnetic Tiles Rainbow Starter Pack*.   The pack includes a variety of different shapes in different colours and you can build whatever you want just let your imagination run free.  Even if you are not sure where to start the pack includes an Inspiration Book as well, which gives you loads of ideas. Its truly amazing what you can build including houses, small castles, farms, zoos, rocket ships, car parks, towers, puzzles. The list goes on and on.     You and your kids can explore the concepts of magnetism, learn about shapes, patterns and colours, develop fine motor and problem solving skills and so much more. If I'm honest, I was hooked straight away as soon as I opened the pack as I couldn't stop connecting pieces together. It was just so satisfying. Its recommended age is 3+ as it contains magnets and small parts. The...
