Edifier TWS NBQ Ear Buds – Review

     19 Comments

Music is something I absolutely love in my life. I listen to music whenever I go for a walk, work out or fancy listening to podcasts. I have had iPods and headphones but was never happy with the sound or charge so when Edifier offered me to try out their TWS NBQ Earbuds, I just jumped at the chance to try them out.

When it comes to headphones I have had so many I have lost count including previous wireless headphones. It would get so frustrating because one headphone would be more charged than the other and for me, the sound quality wasn’t there. I like to keep myself motivated in my workouts with music and when the music doesn’t flow right, well that can be a big annoyance for me.

First Impressions

I love the pink colour the earbuds and case are, I am a big fan of pink as you may guess by my blog and social media. The case the earbuds come in is perfect to carry in a bag and great storage. The case also doubles up as a charger, so it’s very versatile.

The earbuds fit perfectly in my ears and didn’t fall out even with exercise which is impressive considering the exercises and walks I do. They are comfy wearing for short to long periods, I wear them ( 10-45 mins) they are so comfortable that I forget I am wearing them sometimes.

The sound

I was completely shocked at how well these earbuds sound! They connect to a device of your choice easily with Bluetooth. I listen to music on Spotify effortlessly.

My music taste is varied from rock, metal, dance to disco and everything I have listened to on the earphones has been smashing! Everything is so clear, I pick up sounds that I never heard on previous headphones I have had. They are soundproof which is wonderful when you are doing a workout and want to focus.

Key points

  • Compact & easy to store
  • Continuous playback for 9 hours
  • Over 30 hours charge in the case
  • External noise can easily be filtered
  • Water and dust resistant
  • Great with gaming, listening to music and calling family, friends etc

Overall I have to say I am very happy with my earbuds, they work well for me and my lifestyle. I love listening to music and talking to my family easily with these. I think the charge is just amazing, so long-lasting.

Until next time

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.

Dying my hair pink with Colour Freedom Magenta Dream

     17 Comments

If you follow me on Instagram you might have noticed I dyed my hair with Colour Freedom Pink Pizzaz a couple of months ago. When I dyed my hair pink it went down so well! Even though I loved the pink pizzaz, I fancied a little bit of a change mainly because didn’t stay vibrant very long. I decided to go for a deeper pink so that’s I got Colour Freedom Magenta Dream.

It’s not the first time I have used Colour Freedom over the years, they have been a brand I have come back to many times! The best things about them are that they are Cruelty-free, Vegan and very affordable. They have a nice variety of bright colours to choose from but my favourites as you might guess is the pinks!

Simple at-home UTI testing with TestCard

Over the years my blog has constantly changed and with that change, I would say it’s grown with me as a person. So that’s why I can open up more with everyone as I feel like it’s ok and at the end of the day, life is for living and you never know you might share life experiences with others.

So with that being said, that brings me to today’s blog post. UTIs! I know it’s not really spoken about freely but I thought it would be great to be open with you all and share the subject. I have tried TestCard (UTI) Urinary Tract Infection self-testing strips and used their app.

Common symptoms of UTIs are as follows

  • An intense burning while urinating
  • Unusual smelling urine
  • Pain in the lower back

I have had  UTIs previously, and it definitely wasn’t pleasant! I used to be so embarrassed to get treatment. We need to get past the embarrassment because UTIs are incredibly common, even if you’re not sexually active.

Getting tested can be a right pain at times because getting an appointment can sometimes take longer and going right now is a bit harder because of Covid-19. Finding out about TestCard has been wonderful as they are a great way to get instant results at home for an affordable price.

Testcard comes in an envelope that can easily fit a letterbox.

When it comes to UTIs (Urinary Tract Infection) I have heard so many myths about how they happen and remedies.

One myth I have heard is that drinking cranberry juice can reduce getting UTIs but the fact is that it’s only a placebo effect and it’s simply not true. I got told this and I’m glad I know this now because cranberry juice is so damn sour for me LOL!

Another thing is that UTIs can happen for a multitude of reasons and it’s not always intercourse that causes it even though it can be a contributing factor. For some people, they can be recurrent and sometimes they have no symptoms at all.

Myths and Facts

  • Fact: Some people are just prone to recurring UTIs, men can also get them!
  • Fact: Symptoms can vary, some people have no symptoms at all, however, common symptoms include pain when urinating or/and burning.
  • Myth: They are not caused by poor hygiene, sometimes they are just unavoidable.
  • Myth: Cranberry juice will reduce chances is a total myth, I was shocked by this as I was advised by a lot of older family members.

The simple to use app can be downloaded at the apple store or android.

Anyway, onto the TestCard.

TestCard is a self testing kit in which you order online

They send you an envelope with two self-testing strips. Inside the envelope, it tells you the instructions on where to download the app. I used the Apple store to download the free app.

How to use

(First Step) Before you get started make sure you have a clean container to collect urine. Then simply tear open a sachet and hold the strip by the top and scan the QR code so the app knows which test you are using.

(Second Step ) To take the test simply dip the test in the urine to the max wet sign briefly.

(Third Step) While holding the testing strip simply scan the QR code to match up with the blue guidelines on the screen.

(Fourth Step) It takes about a minute to get your results on the screen. Depending on your result you can share results with a health professional.

My final thoughts on TestCard is that they are bloody brilliant! I have never taken a test at the comfort of my own home before but wow what a difference. It was more relaxing for me to take the test and I wasn’t rushing around.

The test is very simple to use and the app is perfect and easy to use. Getting the results almost instantly brought a huge relief to me. I will 100% use them again if I ever feel like I may have a UTI.

Of course, consult with your health professional if you feel the need because at the end of the day, only you know your body.

TestCard (UTI) Urinary Tract Infections Test strips cost a super affordable £12 and even have FREE delivery.

Trying out ‘Huel’ Ready-to-Drink – An affordable meal in a bottle

     24 Comments

Before I start this post I would like to state I am not on a liquid diet. I just like trying out vegetarian/vegan protein drinks to make sure I get the most out of what I eat in a day, especially when time is not on your side haha! Huel Ready-to-drink is part of my balanced diet.

I have seen Huel nutrition floating around social media for a while now but it’s only recently that I decided to give one of their products a try. I went shopping the other day in Sainsbury’s for vegetarian goodies when I noticed this drink near the milk aisle. Huel ready-to-drink complete meals, containing 26 essential vitamins and minerals, carbohydrates, protein, fat, fibre and phytonutrients.

If you have read my blog or followed my social media then you would have seen that I have lost 40lb in Lockdown. All of this done without restricting my diet and keeping myself active. Very simple. Check out my post on how to keep fit during lockdown.
