This is a sponsored post by Burton Health Tea Club* Last Christmas I was searching for a Tea subscription to gift to a tea loving friend. I searched high and low, asking everyone I knew but it seemed Tea Clubs/Subscriptions were few and far between. The ones I did find were either well over my budget or wasn't exactly what I was looking for in terms of variety and flavours. I have spent the last month sipping on some delicious teas and I'm so excited to share this relatively new subscription with you (including a discount too just in time for Christmas gift giving!). I recently met Sydney based Laura [...]

We have been using Zip Pops for almost 12 months after discovering them late last year. I was looking for a way to make my own ice blocks easily and cheaply for the children.

This post is brought to you by ThermoJacket* I was recently chatting with Nicole, who owns ThermoJacket, about her product the "ThermoJacket" and knew that there would be a lot of interest in her product by my readers.

A ThermoJacket is a protective covering for your Thermomix. It is made of cotton drill sides and a wipeable, laminated cotton front panel. It allows your Thermomix to be protected against dust as well as splatters from a nearby stove for example. Some people [...]

This is a sponsored post by Name My Stuff* This type of product is something I'm asked about almost daily on my Facebook page or in our questions group "What can I store hot or cold items in for the kiddies to take to school/husband for work etc?". I have tried a few different items and whilst they have been ok, I was never comfortable recommending them to others and certainly wouldn't encourage people to spend their hard earned money on the products. If I ever recommend a product it has to be something I truly love and value. I recently spoke with the lovely Tea who is the owner [...]

This post is sponsored by My Squeeze* I'm sure I'm not the only one who loathes cleaning out the kiddies lunchbox at the end of the day. I love filling it but boy do I hate cleaning it out. Opening the lid is always a surprise. More often then not the lunchbox is full of sauce from the container they cant do back up or the yogurt pouch they lost the lid to. One day I opened it to find a big old bunch of soggy leaves in there. Last week I found a dirty, tattered, pink sock in my 4 year olds lunchbox. That takes the cake. I still [...]

This is a sponsored post by Vanilla Queen* What is my most favourite thing in the world you ask? Vanilla. Vanilla cupcakes, vanilla icing, vanilla ice cream, vanilla perfume, vanilla bubble bath. Chances are if its vanilla, I'll love it. Naturally I was so excited to do this review and receive this little package of happiness in my mailbox. I don't think my mailbox ever smelt so good.

All beans are picked, checked and graded by hand to ensure she only receives [...]
