Snact Fruit Jerky Review- Apple And Mango


Hello Everyone,
So I recently contacted Snact who provide fruit jerky. Today I am going to review their fruit jerky in 'apple and mango'.

"Mountains of delicious and nutritious fruit get thrown away for being the wrong shape or size. We rescue this fruit to make our healthy snacks. 100% fruit. Vegan. Gluten Free. No additives or preservatives. Less than 65 kcal per bag. Made in the UK."- Snact


January is typically a month used to kickstart a new eating plan or diet. To help you on your way with a new lifestyle change I find healthier snacks packed in a way junk food would be really helps me shred the pounds! So today I am bringing you the ultimate in what I like to see as heathy food but packed in typically naughty crisp style packaging!

The key to any successful lifestyle change or dare I say diet, is that you need to feel you are not restricting yourself or cutting back. This I find helps if you find treats which are lower calorie and more nutritionally beneficial but isn't always your conventional apple or cucumber sticks! This is where Snact is perfect! If you are a 90's kid like me, I am sure you remember the fruit bowl fruit flakes or fruit winders, partially fruit but mainly sugar. Well imagine them tasting as good as they did, but 100% natural. This is what we have here!


The apple and mango version have 60 calories per pack, these are a fab on the go, throw in your handbag kind of snack. I also love that they claim to save fruit by taking all the not so pretty fruit the shops won't sell, and squishing into yummy snacks! I hate food waste so this is something that makes Snact stand out from other fruit snacks!



Fruit jerky is the perfect description as they do remind me of jerky, or giant fruit flakes, though not jelly like in texture and taste much fresher than fruit flakes. The flavouring is very concentrated, which is fantastic as theres noting worse than bland or artificial fruit flavoured food! I wish I could find more of these to try in store as I am a nightmare for craving things.

If you can get hold of these, pick some up, you will not regret it!

You can also get these in other flavours like Apple & Raspberry and Apple, Blueberry & Banana.



Snact also sent me 10% discount for their online store code is below along with their website.

Until then!

Bondi Sands Self Tanning Review!x


Hiyya Everyone,

Today I am writing a review for the 'Bondi Sands' tanning foam and spray. I recently contacted them asking if I could review their products. I've never tanned in my life as I am so scared of using the stuff in-case I turn out like a orange but  I heard so many good reviews on their products I decided to give them ago and I was surprised with the results.

Bondi Sands is an Australian brand that had a vision of ensuring everyone could have a salon quality tan at home and at an affordable price.


Self Tanning Mist

So the first product they sent me was their 'Self Tanning Mist' in light/medium.



Since I'm a chicken, I just tried the Self Tanning Mist on my legs first to see if I could make this work. I had been worried about walking around with that awful potato smell thanks to the tanning mist, but it has a Coconut scent which actually conceals any trace of the self tanning that has occured.

The spray nozzle was really easy to aim at my legs but I foolishly started at the bottom and worked my way up to my knees and hips. I would recommend doing it the other way because then you don't over-tan your ankles when the spray sinks towards the floor. Because I am an impatient lass I only had the Self Tanning Mist on for an hour, but you can leave it on for six hours to get a darker tan. You can also re-apply the Self Tanning Mist 30 minutes after the first application to get an even more intense result. 


Seeing as I am a fan of the natural look I loved the result of my quick tanning hour session. It was so easy, a beautiful coconut fragrance followed me everywhere I went and my legs felt moisturized thanks to the Vitamin E that the Self Tanning Mist is infused with.
I was so pleased with how easy it was to achieve and how much better my legs looked. They literally glowed.
 
I used two coats of the mist and I didn't have to do any touch-ups and it was all so simple. I'm happy to say that I am no longer scared of self tanning! I like having the Self Tanning Mist up my sleeve for when I want the to tan up in a quick flash since the perfect tan can be achieved in an hour. 

The Bondi Sands Self Tanning Mist is suitable for all skin types, retails for £14.99 in Superdrug and on their website.


Self Tanning Foam

The next product  they sent me was their 'Self Tanning Foam' in light/medium. 


The first thing I noticed when using this tan was the fantastic you-could-eat-it scent. Instead of that classic fake tan biscuit like smell, this stuff smells like a thousand coconuts. Even after I had applied it, my bedroom smelt like coconut for days. 10/10 for the scent.



So here's what the foam looks like on the mitt. Being a usual gradual tan girl, I was quite scared when I applied this foam to my leg which was 10 shades darker than my skin. But don't fret, you wash it off. I started on my legs, using the residue for my feet, then I worked my way up my back, tummy, chest, arms and neck and finally a tiny bit on my face. I would say the foam is easily spreadable if you're quick with it, however if you notice a streaky patch a few minutes later, it can be quite difficult to blend, requiring more tan to even it out. After 1 hour I washed it off and I had a very light tan.

The next time however, I tanned before bed and slept in it, washing it off the following morning. This gave me a much more deeper tan. I love the fact you can adapt the tan to your own preference, having a light glow to a deep tan with the same product. One thing that I also noticed was whilst the tan was settling, it wasn't totally dry. When I sat on the toilet seat I left marks from my tanned backside (it did come off the seat), and a bit on my bedding. This isn't too much of a problem because the whole point is to rinse it off, but I would recommend wearing loose clothing after applying the product. On the upside, the product isn't at all sticky, and you can pretty much carry on as normal. To be honest, I think all the faff is worth it for a beautiful outcome! It's very even, no funny smells, not too orange, and even looks natural. I can finally see what all the fuss is about. Another factor I love is that this lasts a good few days, possibly even a week without re-applying. I would highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a salon quality self tan, and I would say the price is worth it. I will definitely carry on purchasing the Bondi Sands tan. You can purchase this at Superdrug and their website for £14.99.


And that's all the products they sent me.
I hope you enjoyed reading this 'little' blog review, If you have tried these products I'd love to know your views on them.


Until then!
