Styles & Surprises With Pop Pop Hair Surprise Sets

Styles & Surprises With Pop Pop Hair Surprise Sets

Pop Pop Hair Surprise figures are the latest craze to hit the UK, boasting ‘a pop of hair, a pop of style and a pop of surprise’. We were very kindly chosen to be one of the first people in the UK to get our hands on these collectible characters to rate and review.

Pop Pop Surprise Figures

We received three Pop Pop Hair Surprise figures: Boogie, Snooze, and Frilly. There are over twenty-five characters to collect (including a set of ultra-rare twins!) each containing:

1 x Hair Brush 1 x Hair Roller 1 x Pop Pet Character. 4 x Hair Bands 2 x Hair Clips Pop Surprise!… View Post

Say YES to Yogurt With The EasiYo Yogurt Maker

Say YES to Yogurt With The EasiYo Yogurt Maker

If they had the chance, our kids would live on yogurt. They eat at least two yogurts a day, which is fantastic in terms of calcium intake, but not so great when it comes to the amount of sugar they consume.

Unlike the kids who favour strawberry and raspberry flavored Petit Filous yogurts, I much prefer greek style, plain yogurt, especially mixed with a digestive biscuit or two, which isn’t entirely healthy but is utterly delicious should you fancy giving it a try.

EasiYo

We were recently contacted by EasiYo, the creators of the world-famous yogurt making system, enquiring as to whether we’d be interested in giving their product a try.…

Hanging Out With The Hangrees

Hanging Out With The Hangrees

With it being the summer holidays, I have been willing to do almost anything to keep the kids entertained and happy. I’m not a huge fan of mess or goop so I must admit I was a little dubious when agreeing to review ‘The Hangrees‘ – the latest range of parody snack-based, slime creation to hit the market.

The kids, however, were overjoyed at the chance to get their hands a little sticky and of course to take a look at some new toys.

Snack Attack

We received a large box filled with goodies including a range of snacks, each wrapped in comedy packaging: Doritos became ‘Diaritos’, Reeces became ‘Reek’s’, Pringles became ‘Poo-ringles’ and a Burger King pack was renamed as ‘Booger King’.…

Celebrating National Picnic Week With Num Noms

Celebrating National Picnic Week With Num Noms

Did you know that it’s almost National Picnic Week? National Picnic Week takes place from 21st June – 30th June 2019, so get your hampers, blankets, and butties at the ready!

With the weather having made a sudden transformation from dismal to delightful it seems perfect timing for Picnic Week! What’s more, Num Noms very kindly sent us a hamper heaving with plates, cups, napkins and a bundle of the latest Num Noms toys to enjoy so we are more than ready to mark the occasion.

Our little lady is a big fan of ‘cold dinners’ (as she calls her packed lunches) so picnic food is right up her street!…

Fathoming Fashion With Fashion World

Fathoming Fashion With Fashion World

Being in my mid-thirties and having had two children, I don’t feel all that fabulous about my figure nor the fashion which I choose to wear. I tend to stick to casual, comfortable and floaty clothing which covers my wobbly bits though I highly suspect that my wardrobe contents are ‘out’ rather than ‘in’ when it comes to fashion.

I was recently asked whether I’d be willing to review a couple of items from ‘Fashion World’, a trading style from JD Williams, the UK’s leading direct home shopping company. Given that I haven’t the foggiest when it comes to fashion, I thought it best to give this a bash if anything to modernize my Mumsy look a little.…
