  *I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I occasionally suffer from a dry and itchy scalp and it drives me nuts. The Hair Boss Scalp Soothing Tonic* can help with this problem. It has a cooling formula which contains Tea Tree Oil and Rosebay Extract which helps to rebalance the scalps pH balance and targets dandruff. Simply use on damp hair by applying to the scalp and hairline section by section and then gently massage the tonic in and then leave overnight. The cooling sensation provides instant relief for my itchy scalp and calms it right down. I definitely don't suffer from this problem as much as I used to.  The Hair Boss Scalp Soothing Tonic costs £7.99 for 100ml from The Hair Boss .   Leigh 💜

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I love Christmas and I love board games, so I was very happy to receive The Christmas Express Game*. This game is festive fun for the whole family. Board the Christmas Express and journey through a winter wonderland. There are hazards on the way such as snow storms, reindeers crossing and whatever you do, you need to avoid the naughty elf. Keep an eye out for Santa though as he can help you on your journey. The aim of the game is to be the first player to reach the North Pole. You can pick what character you want to play with choices including a snowman, reindeer or penguin. Depending on the cards you have in your hand you can move your character forward, move other players backwards or even make them miss turns or block them moving to the next station and if you are lucky you get the Santa card and it protects you from other players using their cards against you. This game is for 2 - 4 players, ages 6+. It comes with Chr...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. The Family Edition of Tension* The Top 10 Naming Game is a fun filled game where you race against the clock to name 10 things for each topic. So you could have to think of 10 different things for a variety of topics such as Abba Hits, Pizza Toppings, Popular Dogs or James Bond Films. The catch is that you need to find the 10 things that are specifically listed on each card, so you just have to keep calling out as many examples as you can think of for each topic. Its super fun and its a frantic, exciting race to find all the answers on the card.  The was great fun to play with my family we loved it.                          Tension* is for 2 teams of players, ages 8+. The game includes Game Cards, Playing Board, Playing Counters, Card Scorer, Sand Timer and Rules. Tension* from Cheatwell Games costs £30 and is available  here .   Leigh 💜

I have been a big fan of Glossier, ever since I happened upon their pop-up store in London quite a few years ago. I love to treat myself to their products whenever I get a chance. One of my favourite Glossier products at the moment is the Futuredew oil serum hybrid. I have dry skin and this 2 in 1 product gives me dewy, hydrated brighter skin and makes for a great base for makeup. It contains a blend of 4 nourishing oils - Jojoba, Grape Seed, Evening Primrose and Rosehip oils which are suspended in a water-in-oil emulsion. You can wear this product alone, for brighter, dewier skin, or mix into foundations for a lighter, glowy look. It even works as a highlighter. This is a light cream and all you need is 2 pumps for an all over glow as the last step in your skincare routine. It doesn't leave skin looking  or feeling greasy or sticky. If you are looking for soft, hydrated, glowing skin, then I really do recommend this product. It costs £23 for 30ml from the Glossier website . Its ve...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. I was kindly sent the Geomag Glow* set to review and having enjoyed a number of other sets from this company I was keen to try it out.  I mean who doesn't like glow in the dark items.   The Glow range is packed full of natural materials inside 100% recycled plastic. The magnetic rods are made with 100% natural glowing substances which accumulate energy when they are exposed to a light source.  Then in the dark they release this energy as natural light.   What kids (and adults!) aren't going to like this set where they can build whatever they want and then watch as it glows in the dark. It comes with an instruction book which you can refer to if needed or just use your imagination. You just connect the magnetic rods to the metal spheres and build 3D magnetic structures. This 42-piece set includes 20 spheres, 20 magnetic rods and 2 plastic bases and storage boxes. The Geomag Glow Recycled 42 Pie...

My hair is breaking off at the moment, which has left me with the short flyaway hairs that stick up around the hairline and the crown of the head.  Hairspray is not strong enough to hold them down, so these are the products that help me control those flyaway hairs. Lee Stafford Hair Growth Styling Treatment Cream - This product is mainly to protect hair from damage and breakage which is exactly what I need, but it also works as a smoothing styler, which hydrates and tames the flyaways. It doesn't leave hair feeling sticky or stiff either. Its £8.99 for 100ml. Schwarzkopf got2bGlued for Brows & Edges Gel - I stick this mascara wand product in my bag so I can tame the frizzies while I am at work. Its easy to use and it doesn't leave any residue or make my hair look or feel crispy. Its £5.50 for 16ml. Mielle Rosemary Mint Strengthening Edge Gel infused with biotin. This is a really thick gel that I can use to paste down my hair along the parting. It feels like its going to ...

*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. Its nearly that time of year again where its time to start thinking about buying Christmas gifts (does it come round quicker every year).  I'm not one of those super organised people that buys them in the Christmas sales so I start looking for gifts around about October onwards.  The Geomag Glitter 60 Piece Construction Set* contains 28 spheres, 28 magnetic rods and 4 bases in a variety of glittery colours. It also comes with 3 storage boxes and an instruction booklet. This is the perfect gift for the budding engineer who loves to build and create things. You can connect the magnetic rods to the metal spheres to build a variety of 3D magnetic structures. This set helps with fine motor skills, engages creativity and imaginations and you learn by playing which is perfect for kids. The set is made of 100% recycled plastic and is suitable for ages 3 and up. The set is currently available for £29.99  here (usually...
