Choc Shot Review!x

                     

A little while ago I came across a product called 'Sweet Freedom'. I was very surprised to have not heard of it. I had tried so many sugar alternatives and here was something I could buy easily in my local supermarket. I wrote to 'Sweet Freedom' and they sent me this new revolutionary liquid chocolate, based on 'Sweet Freedom' and not containing refined sugar or anything that will cause intense sugar highs to review. I enjoyed sampling and testing it out and it was so good that I regularly buy the Choc Shot now.

                    

Recently I've been testing this "bad-boy" out, trying it on different things.

What with winter coming soon, lots of people ask me 'how can I make porridge more bearable?' Porridge is a love it or hate it kinda thing, but a bowl in the morning really will stave off hunger and cravings so it's a really good staple for me... some people love it just as it is... others add stewed fruit, banana, cinnamon, honey all kinds of things, but if you love chocolate... you need this bad boy! You literally only need a few drops of it, depending on how big of a chocoholic you are, but it give porridge that sweet choccie kick that's yum! It's so comforting and its exactly what you'll need on the dark winter mornings ahead of us!x

                         

This  stuff can be used is SO many ways... add a dash to warm milk and you've a fat free chocolate with no powdery lumps going on... If chocolate orange is your thing you can add a bit to your toast and marmalade... Its perfect to add to ice cream.

Drizzle it over meringues and yoghurt, or make a coffee into a mocha or even a few drops on a pancake... it's a winner for all the sweet teeth out there... and with Halloween on the horizon we'll need to keep our eye on the ball with the chocolate goodies incoming, this is just the thing to have into cupboard to get your 'fix'! I mean the Christmas tins of roses are out already!

Overall I think this liquid chocolate is amazing and so handy. Plus it saves you money ;) 

Here's a list of where you can buy Choc Shot- http://www.sweetfreedom.co.uk/index.php/where-to-buy

It also comes in other flavours such as Choc Spice Orange, Coconut Choc ect. I got given the Orginal Luquid Choc.

You lovelies should totally should give this stuff a try.

Until then!

Zeo Carbonated Soft Drinks Review!xx

Hello Lovelies,
Firstly I want to say I am very sorry for there not being a blog post in a while. I've been very caught up in moving and my YouTube channel and also been in hospital so I haven't had time to review and didn't really have nothing to review to be honest. But now I'm back with a brand new review for you.

So about a three or four ago I contacted a company called "Zeo". Unfortunately when I contacted them myself they didn't have anything that I could review. Then about 2-3 weeks ago I had a email from "Zeo" asking I if would review their products for them as they have revamped there company, and of course I said yes.

So here are the products "Zeo" sent me. These are glass bottles which I am not very keen on but it is a very sturdy packaging.

"Zeo" make delicious, lightly carbonated fruity drinks that come in six different flavors. I was lucky enough to be sent the Peach and Grapefruit, the Zesty Lime and the Blood Orange and Citrus flavors.

The lovely people at "Zeo" recommended I chill them before drinking so as soon as I got them, I popped them in the fridge and waited patiently for them to chill.

Zesty Lime- The zesty lime flavor didn't really have much taste to it and tasted a little watery. So I didn't really like this one much.The colour of the drink was a nice cloudy colour which represented the lime.I give this flavor 3 stars out of 5 ***.

Peach & Grapefruit- This one was my favorite. It was had a strong but not over powering flavor and taste's amazing on a nice hot summers day(I drank this one on a boiling hot day). The only down side to this flavor is that you could taste more peach then you could grapefruit,which i wish you could taste both combined together. The colour of this drink was coppery reddish colour. I give this 4 stars out of 5 ****.

Blood Orange & Citrus- This flavor had a very strong citrus taste which I didn't like at all. If it was a sweet citrus taste then I may of liked it a bit more. Also you can't really taste the orange in it which is kind of disappointing. The colour of this drink is a nice light orange colour. I give this 2 out of 5 **.

There are 6 flavors,which are:-

• Peach & Grapefruit
• Zesty Lime
• Blood Orange & Citrus
• Mixed Berry
• Spiced Cola
• Cloudy Lemon

I really want to try the "Spiced Cola" as I love cola flavored stuff.

You can get this flavors in 275ml bottles, 750ml bottle known as "share size" bottles & 250ml cans.

Here's a link for a 50p off coupon for 275ml bottle-  http://www.drinkzeo.com/discount-voucher-275/

You can purchase "Zeo" from Ocado ranging from £2-£5-  https://www.ocado.com/webshop/getSearchProducts.do?clearTabs=yes&isFreshSearch=true&chosenSuggestionPosition=&entry=zeo

I just want to say thank you to "Zeo" for letting me take this opportunity to try their products out. I really enjoyed putting my taste buds to the test.

If you are wanting a little bit more information about "Zeo" then here's there website- http://www.drinkzeo.com/

Until then!

Sorry!!xx

Hiyya Lovelies,

I writing this blog post today because I need to apologies for the lack of blog posts there has been. As you all know (if you watch my YouTube channel) 1-2 month ago I found out I was pregnant- I was really happy and overwhelmed and was overjoyed I was gonna have my own little baby to look after and set my mind to. Unfortunately about 2-3 weeks ago (from the date of this blog post) I got rushed into Singleton Hospital (South Wales) because I was suffering with bleeding and terrible cramping pains (never want them pains again)....so you all probably can guess what happened....yes I had a miscarriage...Apparently to my doctor I suffered the miscarriage at 7 weeks of my pregnancy but only start getting symptoms at 11 weeks. I am now getting through things slowly and carefully and hoping to try again very soon. But the main reason why I was telling you guys this short story is because it was the main reason why I stopped YouTube and Blogging. I wanted the best for my baby and wanted to focus on the pregnancy and getting my own place before the baby came. But now (obviously) I am back to blogging and back to Youtubing and I just want to say to you guys and girls- Thank you so much for supporting all the way through, I've really appreciated all the support I've gotten..especially on my Instagram (follow me at @kylie_baby_97). 

Also I have been diagnosed with "Social Anxiety" which I'm still getting use to. As you know most girls like going out shopping, spending the "dosh" and just having fun in town or where ever they go. I'm one of these girls but every time I go out by myself I get really paranoid like someone is trying to attack me from behind or sneaking up on me and I start panicking and getting really bad panic attacks. Unlike most people they can talk to random people or strangers as we call them and have a really good conversation with them. I find it hard to communicate with people and I cramp myself up and get a little nervous and scared. I explained this all to my doctor and she is getting to me help and support with this and has diagnosed me with "Social Anxiety". This isn't a full diagnostic but hopefully we will get a full one soon.

Once again I am very sorry for the lack of posts on my blog and videos on YouTube but hopefully everything should be back to normal in a few days/weeks.

Until then!

Nandemo Box!x April 2015!x

http://www.nandemobox.com/

Hiyya Lovlies :) xx

Today I am doing a blog post of a " Japanese Subscription Box". I emailed a company called "Nandemo Box" asking if I could review there box. They kindly got back to me saying I could review one of there boxes but I'd have to wait for the April box to be sent out-which was perfectly fine seeming as its a "subscription box".


What is Nandemo box?
"Nandemo box" is a "Japanese monthly subscription box" service that deliver not one but two options of subscription box to your door. These are the Japanese Candy Option which is what I have been sent to review and a Kawaii goodies box which sadly this time I am not reviewing but maybe one day in the future.

So a bit about the snack/candy box I am reviewing today - 

- Normally it would have cost me $25.

- It normally contains between 8-12 snacks per box.- The snack boxes always include one DIY kit.- The weight of the box normally weighs in at around one pound of snacks.

I received:-

• Country Ma'ma Strawberry
• Sono-manma GumBalls
• Fruitio Grape Gum
• Tonlon Undoukai
•  CHESLEA Strawberry candy Mix
• BOURBON Barm Roll
• Slick Potato Chips (Hot Chilli and Seaweed)
• Yakinori and Salad Senbei

I also received some "kilakuma sticks"-if thats what they called as a thank you-they basically taste like Milkdo's but without the chocolate and with a carmel taste- if you understand me haha.

What I think of the delivery?
I really think there delivery was completely on point.
It was fast and they clearly choose a good method because it came to me very fast.They send the boxes out at the end of the month before so I believe that plays a part in receiving it on time.

What I think of the service?
I think the service is amazing and can not think of a single thing wrong with it.
All the staff I have spoken to via Email were extremely friendly and helpful even when I was paranoid as to when it would arrive and dealing with all my questions they still remained helpful and kind. They are clearly a very thoughtful company as not only is everything perfect but the little thank you note I received and gifts for reviewing it prove there kindness.

What I think of the contents?
If I am completely honest I feel like there contents aren't bad at all.I think there price for what you get is spot on and I think you do get rather a lot for your money as well as getting candy I have never even heard of.  I am very happy with everything in the box and loved the little gift they gifted me.

Would I purchase one with my own money?
If I had more money then definitely! I'd propebly order there "Kawaii boxes" if I had the money as I have herd and seen that they are amazing and once again great for the price.

Overall I defiantly recommend you to check this box out-especially if you looking for a new subscription box for you or even your children- Honestly I think the "Kawii Box" is more for children/teens but that's my opinion. The link is below if you do want to check it out or even if your interested to find out more.

Until then!

Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum Review!x

Hello Lovlies,

Firstly I want to apologise for there not being a blog post in a while I've been very busy with "personal life" (there will be a blog post announcement soon). Anyway today I will be reviewing the "Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum". I recently joined "Brand Backer" where you can apply for products to review.

I've herd a lot of positive feedback about this product such as “this product is a miracle in a bottle,” or “finally a product that works as it says”. 

Short Description of the Product

• 20% Vitamin C, amino acid and 5% hyaluronic acid contained in this serum help to fight free radicals which is one of the main causes of skin aging
• Stimulates the production of collagen which is necessary to reduce and prevent fine lines and wrinkles.
• Made with 98% natural and 72% organic ingredients.
• Contains no parabens or skin drying alcohol.
• Made in the USA in an FDA registered facility.

OZ Naturals Vitamin C Serum Ingredients

Organic Herbal Infusion, Sodium Ascorbyl Phosphate (Vitamin C), Cassia Angustifolia Seed Polysaccharide (botanical hyaluronic acid), Organic Aloe Barbadensis Leaf (Aloe), Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), Hamamelis Virginiana (Witch Hazel), Kosher Vegetable Glycerin, Carbomer, (2s)-2-Amino-5-guanidinopentanoic Acid, , Organic Simmondsia Chinensis (Jojoba Oil), Phenoxyethanol, Ethyl Hexyl Glycerin.

How and When to Use It

According to the manufacturer, it is better to apply this serum once per day although there are people who use it even twice.There are also few others that find the specific serum so potent that they only use it every other day or even every third day.Be careful to keep the bottle always closed and not exposed to the sun because the potency of antioxidants like vitamin C deteriorates when vitamin C serums are not properly packaged and stored.

So, wash your face to cleanse it and pat it dry. Apply a thin layer on the area you want and let it dry completely. After it has dried, apply the cream or moisturiser of your preference to avoid any sign of dryness. Vitamin C serums can be combined with any other skin care product you are using and that way, you can have even better results.

According to the company, if you are using Retinol or Retin A, there is no harm to apply Oz naturals vitamin C serum, too. You will only need to apply first the serum, let it dry for 10-15 minutes and then use your Retinol product.

Here are some of the specific benefits that they found using this serum:

• Wrinkle Reduction– Most of the users stated that they noticed a reduction in their facial wrinkles within a week or two with many more stating that they saw a difference in those fine lines within a month of use. A lot of them use this serum on mouth, forehead and even eye wrinkles with very positive results.

• Lightens and Brightens Skin– A majority of people mentioned that this serum did lighten dark spots on their skin while others said that it worked to brighten their skin overall and make it feel more refreshed.

• Softer and Smoother Skin Almost Immediately– Several users felt that their skin got softer and smoother shortly after they began using it. Some noticed that their skin was softer and smoother after just a couple of uses while others noticed changes in their skin’s condition within a couple of weeks.

• Breakout Protection– When it came to protecting their skin from breakouts, there were users stating that this serum helped them to see a reduction in breakouts.

• Dark Circles Under Eyes Reduction. There were also very few people that experienced some improvement with their dark circles under eyes.

Pros

• A really helpful anti aging skin care product.

• Visible results even from the first application.

• Natural and Organic Ingredients.

• Very positive user reviews.

• Excellent service on behalf of the manufacturing company.

Cons

• While some people use it for the eyes area, too, it is better to avoid that because it can irritate eyes, causing a light burning feeling.

• VItamin C serums can sometimes cause a mild dryness and for that it is always advisable to put on a moisturizer after using them.

My Final Take

Finishing my "Oz Naturals Vitamin C Serum" review, I think that this serum is worthwhile testing it out because of its good quality ingredients, its anti aging effects as well as its other positive results.

A vitamin C serum is an effective, beneficial and very popular among both men and women skincare product because of its ability to restore collagen and help people have a more youthful bright looking skin.

Overall it's a great product but kinda pricey so I don't know if I will purchase this myself but for people who like high priced skincare that work "amazingly" I recommend this to you.

Until then!

Scheckter's Organic Energy Drink!x

Hiyya Lovelies,

I'm always in search of the latest and most healthy energy beverages for those afternoon slumps or just days where I lack a great sleep. When I came across Scheckter's Energy drink, I was pretty excited.-Why you ask?-It is jam packed with all natural organic ingredients for that "natural high". The reason why I say high is because it contains 135 Mg's of organic raw green coffee beans. That is 40% more caffeine than most leading energy drinks on the market.

It is also the first energy drink to win a Gold award at the UK's Great Taste Awards. 

Scheckter's Story

Schekter's originated from Toby Schekter, a South African native who moved to England, and former race car driver. He worked in motor-sport management, where he was in constant contact with energy drink manufacturers. It was through this that, as a regular energy drink consumer, he became tired of ones that were artificially processed. Inspired by his family's organic farm, he made it his goal to invent a better, more naturally derived energy drink.  His goal was simply to do this: "Create a great tasting energy drink using only the healthiest organic ingredients"  And so Scheckter's energy was born.

The PR was gracious enough to send me 2 samples of their energy drinks.
I got to try out both varieties, Lite and Regular. I've got to hand it to him, it is one tasty energy drink. 

Regular
Kind of reminiscent of red bull, sans all the overpowering sugar, un-natural flavouring and chemicals. It has an herbal after taste that one may have to get accustomed to, but it didn't bother me at all. It depends what you are used to, and I am used to all kinds of after-tastes. It is definitely a unique and herbal yet fruity taste that I didn't mind lingering on my tongue. It was sweet, but not drastically too sweet, opposed to most energy drinks. 


 Lite 
Very similar to regular, only I detected more sweetness in this one. This was definitely my favourite.
Toby's goal for this variety was to "Create a great tasting and healthy energy drink, using the healthiest organic ingredients, with 1/3 less calories than the original, with no added sugar."

I think he nailed it on both accounts. 

The first can I drank during an afternoon slump, it seemed to perk me up about 30 min after drinking it, but the real kick in the butt happened after the second can. I was considerably more alert and got a lot of cleaning and writing done, as a result. I would say it had the kick equivalency of one cup 
of coffee. It did what it claimed to. 

      Nutrition and Ingredients

 Regular

• Organic raw green coffee bean extract
• Organic guarana ( for a boost in physical and mental performance from the caffeine)
• Organic Ginseng (to relieve stress)
• Organic Green tea (to boost mental focus)
• 112 calories per can/serving
• NO artificial sweeteners, colorants, preservatives, or toxic chemical additives
• 135 Mg's caffeine
• 112 calories per can/serving 
• Organic Ginkgo Biloba
• Organic Pomegranate juice
• Organic Lemon Juice
• Organic Elderberry juice 
• Organic raw fair trade sugar 
• Natural spring water

Lite

• The same as above, but it is sweetened with organic agave nectar, no added sugars. (Wow, uncanny. This is the first LIGHT drink I have seen WITHOUT artificial sugar. I consider this impressive and a good reason alone, to buy it.)
• 78 calories per can/serving

Unleash the power of natures energy!

You can currently purchase these at-

£1.99

£1.99

£1.35

I deferentially recommend you to go and try these.

Water Wipes Make Up Removal Wipes (Sensitive Skin)!xx

Hello Lovelies,

Love them or hate them make up removal wipes are extremely popular. Personally, I find them a god send.

Today I'm going to be reviewing "Water Wipes Make Up Removal Wipes" for "Sensitive Skin".
After reviewing "Water Wipes Baby Wipes" , I was kindly sent some facial water wipes to try.  I was very keen to try them as the baby wipes are great and I have always struggled to find a make up wipe which I find great to use. Each packet of wipes contains 24 individual wipes which are thick in quality, and have a slight exfoliating texture. The wipes feel much wetter than previous brands of facial wipe that I've used, meaning you get the opportunity to cleanse you entire face with one wipe.

The wipes contain no skin irritants (such as alcohol, fragrance, lanolin, perfume, or oil) so they are suitable even for those who have very sensitive skin-they can even be used on your eyes without any irritation, and surprisingly considering they contain 99.9% water they still remove eye make up and mascara easily.  

I have to say I am VERY impressed by the quality of the wipes. One wipe cleans my entire face, leaving it feeling clean and refreshed without a hint of tightness or soreness.

The wipes come in a slim line packet, making them easy to transport in your handbag. They're perfect for sticky hands or simply to freshen up.

I can't honestly imagine going back to any other wipes now. I think these are perfect for me, and it's great to know I am not using chemical laden products on my face. I would recommend them to anyone with sensitive skin or even to anyone who doesn't like using harsh chemicals on there skin- these are great.

You can purchase these at your local Boots, Tesco & Spar.

So go and check them out and see if they work for you and your skin.

Until then!

Get Fruity Oat Bars Review!x

Hiyya Lovelies,
Today I am going to be doing a review on a company I recently came across that do fruit oat bars. There are three flavours "Scrumptious Strawberry", "Moist Mixed Berry" and "Juicy Apricot Orange Ginger". I like how catchy the names are and they seem tasty.

These bars are only available from Get Fruity's Website currently, but I would expect they'll be available from most good health food stores and supermarkets!

Below are my thoughts of each flavour...

Moist Mixed Berry!

So first up is the "Moist Mixed Berry Oat Bar". This is a strong dark purple colour with berries located all through out the bar. It's infused with cranberries, blackcurrants and blackberry juice and full of flavour. It's slightly tangy thanks to the cranberries, which I personally loved as I'm a major fan of cranberries, but also its a little dry as well so I'd have to give this "oat bar" 8 out of 10.


Juicy Apricot Orange Ginger!

Next is the "Juicy Apricot Orange Ginger Oat Bar". When I opened the wrapper for this I wasn't quite expecting the bright orange bar that revealed itself - it was very orange-I knew these were made with real fruit, but I never expected anything quite like this...Texture-wise it was very chewy; the oats are ground rather than whole which made for a welcome change to regular cereal bars. It isn't like a crunchy cereal bar but is more dense and moist. The apricot is very refreshing and complimented nicely by the orange and ginger flavours. Overall it felt far more healthy and refreshing than the average cereal bar but once again was very dry to each- I'll give this one 6.5 out of 10.

Scrumptious Strawberry!

Lastly is the "Scrumptious Strawberry Oat Bar". Like the apricot bar this was also strongly coloured, this time with a strong deep red. On opening the wrapper it had a delicious strawberry aroma. Also like the apricot bar it was very chewy and bursting with fruit. It had a deep and comforting strawberry flavour which I just loved - strawberries are one of my favourite fruits, and together with the oats I thought it was the perfect combination! Very moreish indeed. 9 out of 10.

Overall I have to say I'm very impressed with Get Fruity bars, they're very different to other cereal bars out there and taste a lot more refreshing and of course fruity than most! If you like moist and chewy cereal bars that are also healthy then these are for you.

I deferentially recommend you to check them out!

Until then!

Zuzka Skin Care Review!x

Hiyya Lovlies,
Today Lets talk "Zuzka Natural Beauty" who kindly sent me "Ocean Spa Cool Blue Contour Day Cream" Full size is £ 34.99 and "Ocean Spa Cool Blue Cleansing Lotion" full Size £20
"Zuzka" is a hand made organic cosmetic company they have a brilliant range of products.


Cool Blue Contour Day Cream!

First of all I'm going to talk about the "day cream" which I like alot. First off all this scent smell's lovely- Now this is going to sound strange but it smells like the sea-floral and salty-So far so good. The cream is a natural creamcolour (white) so there was nothing excited about that. The cream go's on nice and I can notice a difference to my skin straight away. I love how nourished this leaves me-the perfect base for my make up. This did not break me out and left my skin feeling so soft. 

Cool Blue Cleansing Lotion!x


Oh my Gosh this is amazing I love this product! This has a different smell-way more salty and fresh than the face cream. I used this every morning before a "busy" day to remove any make up I wore the day before or just to remove any oils on my face . This really helps with the oiliness in my skin. Its just so refreshing and hydrating. This little beauty will be popped in my bag on my next journey as its a little skin saviour. 


Overall I find the products absolutely amazing. They both leave my skin looking much healthier- I love it!

I defentitaly recommend you to try these products out yourself because they work miracles. 

You can find Zuzka on the online web store.

Until then!
