Elle Macpherson The Body Aromatherapy Foot Spa Review


Every mum loves to be pampered. This mothers day why not make you mums day that little bit special and buy her a Elle Macpherson The Body Aromatherapy Foot Spa? The Foot Spa is made by a brand called HoMedics and it is part of Elle Macphersons new "The Body’ range. Elle has developed the range so that you can maximise your beauty potential.

I first used a Foot Spa when  I was young, my Nan gave me it and I often enjoyed sitting in front of the TV and using it. I often got annoyed however that the water would run cold and that the Foot Spa itself did not have enough power to really message my feet. I was recently sent a Elle Macpherson The Body Aromatherapy Foot Spa to review and I was looking forward to a lovely pamper session which I knew I would enjoy.

The Foot Spa features many features that will make you relaxed. From mood enhancing LED lighting to Frangipani aromatherapy oil, the smell and the lighting together are the perfect combination which are going to leave you stress free. The Foot Spa has vibration message which is extremely soothing on your feet and will leave you feeling revitalise. The vibration massage will give you an invigorating massage to boost circulation and this feature can be used with or without water. Bubbles are another key feature that will leave you feeling calm and the bubbles which are delivered to the Foot Spa are delivered by 4 bubble strips. These strips enable twice the amount of bubbles to be delivered which gives your feet a better massage. For those mums who are up on there feet all day, the Foot Spa also has 2 inter-changeable pedicure attachments and 4 integrated massage rollers to roll beneath your feet for a deep, penetrating, full foot massage.

At first I was a little worried that the Foot Spa would be complected for me to use however I was proven wrong. Fine details have been added to this Foot Spa so it is easy to use, what ever age you are. The Foot Spa features a angled base, this ensures that you will get a comfortable massage. There is a easy pour water disposal feature which means you will not have to worry about spilling any water anywhere and the Foot Spa also features suction cups at the bottom which means that the Foot Spa will stay stable and you are likely not to be able to tip it over when in use.

The key feature which I loved was that The Foot Spa has a keep warm function which helps maintain water temperature. Instead of having to keep filling the Foot Spa up with warm water which can interrupt you sitting down and being relaxed, the Foot  Spa will maintain you water temperature. This function is automatically activated when the bubble function is switched on.

Overall I loved the who Elle Macpherson experience. The Foot Spa allowed me to sit and relax and I am looking forward to more nights in front of the TV. The RRP of this Foot Spa is £74.99 however at the present moment you can pick it up on Amazon for just £47.99 which is a brilliant price for such a great product. The Foot Spa is also available from Debenhams and Asda.

HMDX Wireless Speaker Review

 

At night I often find myself on my laptop listening to music. I enjoy using social media sites as well as writing my blog, so music is perfect to keep me entertained.  I often find that I cant get the sound on my laptop to go as loud as I like and I often end up getting frustrated that I cant hear my music. Last week I was sent the perfect little gadget to help me listen to my music every night. I was sent a Jam Plus Wireless speaker.

The Jam Plus Wireless speaker is a small speaker which easily connects to phones, tablets, laptops and notebooks. The speaker has a rechargeable battery which lasts around 4 hours, you can charge the speaker via a USB which can connect to computers, laptops or a wall adapter. 

From the word go the speaker was easy to use. I used the speaker on my laptop and although I couldn't connect the speaker by the wireless feature as my laptop did not allow me to, the speaker came with a USB which I was able to use to connect the speaker to the laptop. The speaker improved the sound quality of my music and I could listen to my music much louder. 

A clever feature that the makers of the speaker have included is that you can buy two speakers and pair them together which means overall you will get a much better sound which will also be much louder. Personally I would not need this feature as I find that one speaker is enough but if you like loud music or perhaps want to keep your friends entertained, this would be a great feature to use.

The speaker comes in a arrange of colours which are all bright and fun. I was sent the pink one and I love the fact that it is pretty and girly. The speaker is not heavy and you could transfer it easily from room to room or perhaps if you were going out or away it would make the perfect travel accessory. This speaker is priced at just £59.99.

Wasgij Mystery Puzzle - Spring Has Sprung!



Just in time for Mothers Day I managed to complete a fantastic puzzle which had managed to capture my attention all week. The puzzle which I completed was the Wasjig Mystery Puzzle which was made up of 1000 pieces. I am a huge fan of puzzles however I rarely get time to do them. This week Maxwell sat with me and "tried" to help me put the puzzle together. Although he wasn't very good at helping me with the puzzle, it meant we spent lots of quality time together and in the end we managed to complete the puzzle.

The puzzle is more of a problem solving puzzle than a regular puzzle which you would copy from the box. The image on the cover of the box is not the image represented by the pieces so you have to look at the clues which you can find on the box and look outside the box and think what the clues could mean and what is happening in the image.

The quality of the puzzle was good. Each piece of puzzle fitted in well with one another and there were no gaps left. The consistency of the colour of the puzzle was well through out and at the end the picture looked fantastic. Each piece of the puzzle was the same size, there were no small bits mixed up with larger bits which I found to be great. With Maxwell helping me with the puzzle I was a little concerned at first that the puzzle may have rough edges but this was no problem at all as the edges were nice and smooth.

Overall the finished result looked fantastic. I personally did not guess the end result from the clues or the starting picture on the front, so it was a great surprise for me once I had finished it. I did not want to ruin the surprise of the complete picture, so I have added a picture of the puzzle half finished. This puzzle is priced at around £12 which I think is great. You are able to buy it online from Amazon.

Zippo Lighter Review

 
 
This Mothers Day you can treat your Mum to a unique gift which can not only be personalised but also can be the perfect gift which will be handy around the house. In a range of colours and different styles the Zippo lighter is suitable for a practical mum, a outdoors mum, or a home loving mum.
 
The Zippo lighter is a pocket sized lighter which can not only be used around the house but also outside. Featuring a great design which makes the lighter windproof, the Zippo lighter is a must when going on adventures. From BBQs at the beach to fun garden parties the Zippo lighter is sure to impress. The Zippo is also practical for around the home and is small enough to fit in draws. It is the perfect little gadget to have if you want to quickly light candles.
 
The Zippo lighter comes in a range of colours and can be personalised.  From different designs, colours and the option to have the Zippo lighter engraved this gift idea can be personalised to suit every mum. Each lighter comes in a small black box and comes well presented.
A great thing about this lighter is that it will save your mum money in the long run. Instead of buying cheap disposable lighters, all you need to do is buy a can of lighter fuel and flints. This lighter could end up lasting your mum a life time and all they will need to do is occasionally top up the lighter and change the flint. Zippo lighter fluid is priced reasonably at around £4.  
 
I was sent a chrome orange lighter which is priced reasonably at £18. This is a gift idea which will not break your bank balance.

Potters Crouch Candles Review


As a parent I barely get 2 minutes to myself however when I do I love to relax. One of my favourite ways to relax is to stick a film on, light a candle and eat a nice takeaway. A few weeks ago I was sent a beautiful Potters Crouch Candle to relax with, just in time for Mothers Day.

Potters Crouch are based within Hertfordshire. Potters Crouch produce beautiful handmade candles which are hand-labelled and hand-finished. Potters Crouch only use the finest ingredients within each of their candles, and each scent is original and created exclusively by themselves. 

I was sent a beautiful Magnolia and Vanilla Candle. From the word go I was really impressed at the high quality of what Potters Crouch manage to produce. The candle came well packaged in a neat little box. Once opening the box I inspected the candle. When inspecting the outside of the candle, it was decorated in a really pretty flower design and on the back of the candle there were instructions on how to make the most out of the candle.


Upon opening the lid of the candle I was greeted by a sweet smelling scent. The smell of vanilla stood out the most however there was also a vague sweet smelling flower smell. I decided to burn the candle and I was immediately relaxed due to the amazing smell which filled my room. I let the candle burn for around a hour however after blowing the candle out the candle still gave out an amazing smell.

Overall I was really impressed by the quality of Potters Crouch Candles. Priced at just £8.50 I believe that the Potters Crouch Candles are a real bargain and a amazing gift for any mum this Mothers Day. With a burning time of 50 hours the candle is set to last a long time and is a unique, handmade gift which is sure to impress.
