Review; Eco Laundry Egg

So I was offered to try a Laundry Egg From Eco Egg :)!!! Was so happy to be accepted to try this out as kept hearing about them. There was three sorts to choose from, fragrance free, Soft Cotton or Spring Blossom so i choose Spring Blossom.

I was a bit humming and haring about this product when first heard of them but heard great review about them. I totally agree they are fab. The balls inside don't all vanish on first wash which i really thought they would. Also there slight fragrance and i actually tried it without any comfort and you could smell it on the washing and smells so lovely. Hung the washing on the airier in living-room and made living-room smell lovely.

They really do remove grime and dirt of clothes just like any normal washing powder would to.

These are natural cleaning pellets in side so no harsh chemicals and really good for people who are allergic to washing powder or have really sensitive skin. 

These are such great money savers as well cause the white pellets in side you get spares to top up but the black pellets last for the whole 210 washes. Which for that one is only £9.99 straight from the Echo Egg site but different prices other places :)!!! Fab price for so many washes!!!!! Means now buying washing powder and don't even have to put comfort with it only if you want a little extra fragrance to your washing.

The one that does 720 washes lasts up to three years could imagine that how many times have you gone to do washing and think ooh no I've ran out of washing powder or getting very low and need to run to shop well you wouldn't have to worry about that for three years with this. Its worked out to cost as little as 3p per wash. 

They are also highly recommend by  Kim Woodburn. 

There also supported by the National Eczema Society, voted top Gold Award for best Baby Skincare Product by Prima Baby & Pregnancy Magazine. 

The Eco egg also do other products including a Dryer Egg to. 

Review; Mother bee healing lip balm

I asked Mother Bee if could review one of them products for  them and choose to review the Lip Balm. It such a great lip balm comes in a small little tin with their own label on the front :) The product inside is really good for people who get cold sores of chapped lips and with this time of year seems to be a lot of people with the weather being up and down. The lip balm made form actual bees wax and natural oils mixed together which really helps healing the lips and making a quick recovery, When i received it i actually had chapped lips after using this for few days there near enough healed already. Instead of using stuff whats all full of chemicals and that this has natural bees wax inside and so much more better for your skin and lips :). I highly recommend people to try this out. They have some other products to like lotion bars and other healing balms to made from natural products :)

Even past the best before date some stuff can still be eaten and sold on... Its not all food on there you can get cleaning stuff , beauty products, toiletries etc etc. Amazing site i must add :).

Review; T-Shirt Design Your Own Kit

Buy T Shirts online kindly offered for us to review t-shirt design your own kit for Ethan to try out :)!!. With being half term at the moment nice to have all different things to do to keep him entertained. We were sent a 5-6 years white Fruit of the loom t-shirt, Spider-man transfer and fabric pens. Had choice from a selection for hat transfer we wanted, Ethan is Spider-man mad so we picked that.

As can see in the picture Ethan went straight for the pens he was so excited to get started :). 

I should of really done the transfer first but forgot but Ethan done lots of drawing on the back and i wrote his name for him.. He got quite but on his hands also as we did a hand print but it come out of skin very easy. The transfer come with some very easy instructions on how to put it on the t-shirt. 

Unfortunately the transfer dint work well but think may of been my iron causing it to go like that so only part transferred. I Also washed the t-shirt after we had finished it all and washed fantastic nothing came of :).

These t-shirts feel very good quality :) and would defiantly but them they come in all different colours and very cheap. Head on over to Buy t-shirts online they can put any design you want onto t-shirt check out t-shirt printing. Have a company that need company logo needing printing onto top then they can do just this for you. Even printed in labels in clothing to. 

If i was ever asked to do this with Ethan again i would say yes. We really had a lovely time doing it. Also very grateful we were asked to do a review on this :).

First Buses

Ahhhhh they do my head in hardly ever on time!!! After picking little man up from nursery we walk to the bus stop and wait for it to go home but i knew there were delays as area near us has been closed of so checked on-line for it to say a shuttle bus was put in place.

So i rang up the shuttle bus and asked when they would come through where needed to get it from they said 10-15 later then the normal bus would of. Was freezing out so decided to walk home. As clearly see says normal bus been replaced with normal bus and shuttle bus would be longer wait! I start walking home and 3/4 way home low and behold the shuttle bus comes passed earlier then they said! O and first bus right behind it! Thought they weren't running. No signs have been put up about this just have to find out for your self on-line. Can never rely on them many times they have passed me when put hand out or not let me on when use to have my son in a buggy. That is my rant for the day :)!!

Spaghetti Bolognese Slow cooker recipe

Spaghetti Bolognese(Feeds 4)

• 500g Lean Mince
• Tinned Chopped Tomatoes
• 1 Chopped Onion 
• 2 Cloves of Garlic Chopped
• Pinch Mixed Herbs
• 4 tablespoons Tomato Puree
• 4 Chopped Mushrooms
• Pinch Pepper
• 1 Chopped Red Pepper
• 1/4 cup of water
• Spaghetti (how ever much you require)

Brown of the mince, onion and garlic in frying pan. Drain of the fat and pop all in the slow cooker then and all the other ingredients. Put the slow cooker on high 5 hours 6-7 hours Low.  You can play the spaghetti in with the bolognese hour before due to finish but i cook mine on hob other wise i find it goes stodgy. If there is to much liquid or fat at top of your bolognese just pop piece of bread on top to soak it up.
