    With just a single caveat, these are my favourite shoes. Supremely comfortable and a pleasingly interesting aesthetic (some would say hideous but who’s listening to those folk?) My feet are short and wide and I have been wearing the Bita-V in the black neoprene pretty much exclusively during the non snow months because they really are that comfortable. Now the unsavoury part which is probably predictable. The neoprene does not breathe. My solution? Foot deo. Or tabi socks.

    Received the Always Pan 2.0 as a gift recently from my sister and truly, it is a joy to cook with and perfect for preparing almost any meal. The team at Our Place have given so much attention to those tiny details that make life easier during the cooking process such as the little drainage spouts on either side, the steamer/colander attachment and the spoon that tests on the handle. Best of all, it is super easy to clean. And as a bonus, looks mighty pretty on your stove…

    As someone who would like to incorporate a massage into everyday of her life, I wanted to like this but I found the pressure of the vibrations unpleasant and anxiety inducing. I have tried both the theragun and the mini and didn’t experience any notable difference between the two apart from ergonomics.

    Feedback

    I know people who have benefitted from the use of their theragun (and that’s to be applauded) but perhaps for some, like me, it’s just an ill suited product. At least for now. I would, however, still say it’s worth a try- just in case.

    I bought the daydream screen tinted veil when it seemed my usual tinted suncream was running out. I liked that it’s an Aussie product with a high SPF and a wide range of tints available for different skin tones.

    Feedback

    I really wanted to like this product but I just haven’t been able to get on board with it unless I use a matte powder after application. It is shiny! And not in a glowy way but rather a greasy way. It also leaves a slight grey cast on my skin which is less than ideal. I’ll use up the bottle but I cannot see myself purchasing the tinted veil again. I may try the skin screen at some point.

    Blame covid times for this purchase but worth all the pennies. After umming and ahing I purchased the 4.1L cast iron soup pot whilst in the throes of covid cooking and baking because it seemed like a good idea.

    It is an investment but they are top quality and together with a lifetime warranty, well worth it. I feel a little more competent in the kitchen whenever I use it and use it, I do! For soups, stews, sauces, curries, bread. My only note is that they are heavy so can be a little unwieldy to wash and handle. Also I perhaps should have chosen a different colour. The orange is their signature but very bright!

    Feu de bois candle. That’s it. End of review.

    Feedback

    If like me, you are not a fan of sweet and floral scents but prefer those in woody, smoky, musky family- the Feu de bois candle creates a lovely atmosphere. They are definitely pricey but worth it. Have even converted the husband to them. No mean feat! Note: the floral scented candles, to my nose, are unpleasantly cloying and very strong. Not a fan.

    Rating is based primarily on the drying lotion which is very effective! I have used the cucumber cleansing gel and toner and some moisturiser in the past but I don’t think they left too much of a mark as I didn’t purchase again. The drying lotion however, is like magic. It looks a little odd walking around with pale pink spots on your face but I tend to stay indoors while I let it do its job. And do it well! I also use one of their mists before I apply hyaluronic acid on my skin. I could probably use any spritzing product but I quite like the Mario Badescu ones. Perhaps because the fragrance isn’t too offensive. Or perhaps because the drying lotion comes in a gift set with the spritz. Take your pick.

    Feedback

    I found the face wash that I used to be far too astringent for my skin but having only tried one range I can’t speak for the others. I would highly recommend the drying lotion to anyone who gets the occasional or regular monthly spots.

    I like the idea of the fleeting drawings and doodles but I don’t know…?

    Feedback

    After the initial novelty wore off, I didn’t use it again. So I don’t think it’s a particularly thoughtful use of resources or space but I can see that it might be fun for a child perhaps? But again, I wonder how quickly the novelty would wear out.

    Not here for the makeup but for their deodorant. I had to find an alternative to my crystal deo because it just didn’t cut it in a highly humid climates so I was very happy when I found their Chemistry roll on and it worked!

    Feedback

    Does it stop you perspiring? No. But that is not what I was after. It completely eliminates any trace of BO and doesn’t have a funky perfumed scent, although it does have a scent- even the fragrance free option which I prefer. I’ve also tried the Wet Oil lip gloss in “Dip”. It is a perfectly adequate product but am not a gloss fan so I find the stickiness uncomfortable. The shade is lovely though, neutral with just a hint of colour.

    The comfiest of thongs/flip flops. I must admit that I currently don’t own a pair but these were the ideal footwear for when I lived in the tropics.

    Feedback

    The rubber is very comfortable and soft but they are also sturdy enough to last a lot of wear and tear. I think I also liked when you could buy replacement straps when they broke. I don’t know if they still offer this? Or did I imagine this?
