  • Fun for the kids


  • Even Dad made these


Your Experience


Wooohooo Whoopie Pies are amazing and this family of little chefs love them. How great it was to grab the box and a few simple things out of the cupboard and be baking.


Long-time American favourites, whoopie pies are delicious mini sponge cakes sandwiched together with sweet, fluffy icing. Thought to have originated in Pennsylvania, they reputedly get their name from farmers shouting “whoopie!” upon finding them in their lunch boxes. And Betty Crocker is bringing them to Australia.


Miss 3 had her first baking experience with Whoopie Pies and loved it. She helped with the beaters licked the bowl and proudly offer friends and family her wares.


Daddy even got in the party one day and made a set with the kids as a surprise for Mum. Fun easy and Whoopie Pies really are for making whoopee!

Olay_For_Men

 

Using anything ‘skin care’ is new for me.  However, this Olay range of products developed for men has me wondering “Why haven’t I heard about it / done it before”.  It always seemed to be an area that belonged exclusively to the ladies – well, let me tell you this Olay range leaves me feeling clean, relaxed and not smelling like a perfume factory.

  • No nasty, irritating scents

 

Your Experience


The largest organ of the body and we chaps are generally ignoring it.  And there didn’t seem anything wrong with that.  After all, if you don’t know any different why would you be concerned?   We seemed to have learned about using sunscreen and now that I’ve used it, this simply seems an extension of that.  It’s just looking after the skin whether or not I’m out in the sun.


After shave – I haven’t used it for more than 2 decades because I didn’t like the pain it inflicted and the terrible smell!  Well, what a surprise, Olay Post Shave Toner has an almost imperceptible fragrance, is refreshing and with NO stinging- no irritation.


Smooth Cream Foaming Cleanser – I’ve often thought the lady in my life was a little too enthusiastic with the cleansing, the creaming etc.  This shows immediately what I have been missing. My skin feels relaxed and soft, not oily or wet – just great.


Revitalising Cream – Revitalising is certainly what this is.  I have used this even when my skin was feeling good and still it left me feeling better.


Eye Gel – Under my eyes tends to get a little dry and adds a few years to my age.  Just a drop of this Eye Gel and the skin looks and feels much better; age wiped away.

Your Experience


Another planner or organiser review I hear you say what can she tell us that is any different?? Well heaps the Mango Monkey family planners look great, are convenient to use, easy to make and delivered super fast.


Miss 3 and I had ball choosing images of our family members to add to the planner some funny some serious and we had a good match. Then we needed to add everyone’s name and if you wanted to you could use nicknames for more fun. The design team at Mango Monkey then worked their magic and less than 24 hours we had a proof. A few quick edits and we were done our planner was off for printing.


3 days later an excited Miss C bounds in the doorway with “my calendar the one I made” to show off to the family.


After weeks of using the planner we are impressed and even organised well done Mango Monkey.

Anyone who wants to take care of their skin while shaving

 

Features Benefits of the Products/Service Reviewed

 

  • Close shave


  • Comfortable


  • Face scrub is fantastic


  • Intense cooling balm to cool down


  • No catching, just glides right through!

 

Your Experience

 

When I received this shaving pack, I thought I was in for another cheap razor that will last for a week, but this one is different… push the button and just shave away with the five blades! So comfortable….

 

After trying it, I love it…it makes shaving an absolute pleasure whilst the thermal face scrub gently warms your face and has beads in it to clean the skin from dirt, oils and dead skin and soften the hair before you shave which makes it easier as well.

 

The Series Intense Cooling Balm is absolute heaven after shaving… it cools down the skin and makes you feel like you have just put cold water on your face on a 40 degree day.. there is no other feeling quite like it..

 

I have never really worried about before and after shaving care, however with the new range of Gillette I really enjoy taking my time shaving and love the results and compliments I get from people. No more pieces of toilet paper sticking to my face thanks to Gillette.

Teen_Talk_PArent_Talk

 

It has been said that it takes a village to raise a child. In that case, it takes an entire city to raise a teen! Parenting a teenager can have its challenges, however the good news is that you are not alone in your parenting journey, and there is an abundance of collective wisdom that we can draw on.

Extremely easy to read book with many illustrations, quotes, stories and simple to follow ideas! You can even download free gifts!

 

Your Experience

 

By reading ‘Teen talk Parent Talk’ I got many great ideas on how approach my kids when they reach their Teens. I love the all around approach of ‘Teen talk Parent Talk’, talking about our own behavior, food, self-esteem, social networks, health and school issues just to mention a few. A magazine kind of book you’re not going to put down until finished. It is the kind of book I will always pick up again, when I deal with daily challenges of my teens, when they will be.

 

I specially love the ‘Building Self-Esteem’ Section. It talk about proper encouragement and praise and their importance! But my favourite is the positive affirmation section! Right up my valley! It gives us examples to how to use positive affirmations and you can download Free Positive Affirmation cards!

 

Sharon Witt also goes into the details of the 5 love languages taught by Gary Chapman, knowing your Childs love language is so very important!

 

Teen Talk Parent Talk really is book you are going to pick up again and again….
