Finally trying out the all-purpose skin cream | Egyptian Magic Review

November 12, 2021 17 Comments

I feel a little bit late to the party reviewing this celebrity/blogger favourite Egyptian Magic. I couldn’t wait to give it a try.

Ever since I was a child I have loved all things from ancient Egypt such as fashion, hieroglyphs and of course the pyramids. This cream is inspired by ancient Egyptian favourite products which are ingredients like Olive Oil, Beeswax, Honey, Bee Pollen, Royal Jelly, Bee Propolis and Divine Love.

My skin type is a combination but most of the time it’s normal depending on hormones etc. But saying that I like to use something more natural and got a bit of history to it, so it sold it to me from that respect. This multi-purpose balm is 100% natural and cruelty-free.

School Dinner Cake Recipe | Vegan

July 12, 2021 30 Comments

Growing up I had so many favourite foods including pizza fingers, bursting bugs and cakes just like this ‘ School Dinner Cake Recipe‘. Many of the foods aren’t here anymore but I suppose it’s fun to make things ourselves. The first up was this delicious cake which turned out delicious with some warm Alpro custard!

I can remember being at primary school having my lunch and occasionally they would be a cake served with custard, it made me so excited that I would rush through my lunch to get to my dessert, it was memories I will cherish.

For this recipe, I was wondering what to use instead of eggs and dairy and after contemplating what to use I tried something I have never tried before or together for that matter; whisked aquafaba and oat milk.

This recipe was really fun to make with my kids, they helped me organise the ingredients and mix up the cake mix and also decorate the cake at the end, yes it can be messy making but that’s part of the fun baking, right? So this cake is wonderful to make yourself, with a partner or with family and friends. The toppings are versatile so you can use whatever toppings you love, sprinkles are a must for me.

I had this cake with my family and everyone enjoyed it including

My hair is a bright hot pink, yay! On Instagram over the last few months, you may have noticed that my hair has changed colour into variations of different pinks. Lately, I have been using Crazy Color ‘Pinkissimo’ which is a ‘hot pink’ shade.

I saw this gorgeous hot pink shade in my local Superdrug and I knew I just had to try it out! Since I bought it I have used it about 4 times now, love it enough to share my experience using it! Pinkissimo is Crazy Colors Best selling pink hair dye. I think it’s time to share my thoughts on it.

My thoughts on the new Burger King Vegan Royale

May 10, 2021 22 Comments

Hello Everyone

since I have been a vegetarian for a while before I went vegan. Since I decided to go vegan they have been so many releases of new products. A few of those releases are two new burgers at Burger King; The new Vegan Royale and the new Plant-Based Whopper. I think I may be a little slow onto the bandwagon reviewing the new Burger King Vegan Royale but I did try it at the start of the week and have just got round to posting this up.

I was a bit uncertain at first about the Vegan Royale and The Plant-based Whopper but no worries they are cooked on separate grills. They are also vegan certified. The fries and the Capri suns are also vegan friendly.

AD-Gifted – Antipodes Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream

So last month I have kindly gifted the New Antipode Culture Probiotic Night Recovery Water Cream with some other skincare delights. I have never heard of probiotic being used in skincare before and, to be honest, the only time I heard of it was yoghurt haha. I have been using this at night time before I go to bed and let me start by saying wow, it’s a treat for my skin!

For me, Skincare is a huge part of my day as it one of those things that help start my day and also a thing that helps me wind down at night time. The night time skincare regime is my favourite as I love how it feels and for me, it’s very relaxing.

AD-Gifted – Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials

Skincare is one of my favourite self-care things to do in the day. As I have gotten older, I have noticed my skin needs a bit more TLC so it’s important to get my skincare routine right. I want my routine to be right so my skin looks good through the years and adapts through age.

I was excited when Temple Spa asked me to try some products from their range. Since my skin is a combination I got the Temple Spa My Kinda Skin Combination Skin Essentials. The collection has everything I need to start my day. They also have other skincare products in the range including products for sensitive, oily and dry skin and even a mix and match option.
