*I received this product for free but the opinions are my own. When something is called Lobster Mobster* it certainly makes me curious about it, so I couldn't wait to try this card game out. The objective is to find out who’s going to be ‘sleeping with the fishes’ and who will claw their way to the top in this family party game. You take it in turns to take a card and do what it says, but you have to watch out for Keep cards, which add new rules to the game just to keep you on your toes. If you break the rules by not following the Keep cards, which could say if you get caught using your thumbs or checking your phone you’ll face the Lobster Mobster.  This means you have to roll the Lobster and Mobster pieces and if neither of them land standing up then you need to take a Fishbone token.   If both the pieces land standing up, then all the other players need to take a Fishbone token.  You can even write your own Keep card rules as well as there are 3 blank Keep cards in...

*I received these products for free but the opinions are my own. I don't have the greatest teeth so now that I am older and wiser I do everything I can to look after them.  I was recently sent Grin Smooth and Fine Flosspyx* to try out. Grin Fine Flosspyx* are for tight teeth so are perfect for me.  I have some teeth that are so tight together that getting anything in between them is hard work and then I have some teeth that have what seem like big gaps.  The Grin Fine Flosspyx are great for my teeth that have barely any space as they make it easier to clean between these teeth and clear away anything stuck there.  The floss is super strong as well so doesn't shred or break which is a problem I often have with floss. Grin Smooth Flosspyx* is a gentle floss tape which slides easily in between tight teeth.  These also work well when I use them on my teeth and are nice and gentle which I like. Both products have longer floss which wraps around the tooth for a spool-...
