Hello everyone! I hope you are all well? Today’s post is called ‘Why I Love My Mo Health 3 in 1 Egg Cooker’ I got this a few months back in B&M. I wanted to make more snacks that were quick and high protein for around £12, why not?
Mo Health 3-in-1 Egg Cooker cooks eggs in 3 different ways. Boiled, Poached and omelettes. It has settings for soft, medium or hard-boiled eggs (all in the instructions given)

Today’s post is about Odylique by Essential Care: An Organic, Fair Trade & Cruelty-Free Brand. Included are the Ultra-Rich Balm, Superfruit Concentrate and Advocado 24 hour replenishing cream. Since it’s been a while, it’s time to share my thoughts on them.
Odylique by Essential Care has a variety of products including skincare and makeup. Check out my review on Odylique lipsticks here.
…If you follow my blog you may have seen my November beauty haul in which I talk about my returning love for beauty products after a crazy 2020, don’t you all agree? In October I got the REVOLUTION X DC Batman Palette & Highlighter and I can’t wait to share my thoughts with you about them both! I even managed to make a reel with these. Wooo.
The highlighter and eyeshadow palette is only a small part of the Revolution DC collection. They have different products such as eyeshadow palettes, lipgloss and even makeup brushes from characters such as Batman, the Joker and of course Harley Quinn.
The DC collection is rather large so instead of buying everything I decided to get two products that stood out for me. The ones which stood out to me were; ‘I am the Batman’ eyeshadow palette and the ‘Bat Light’ Highlighter. Revolution Beauty is a cruelty-free, vegan and affordable brand.
This was the first item I chose, I chose it because it’s embossed with the batman logo…Oh dear, I can’t hold it in, ‘I am the Batman’ sorry lol, old habits after watching batman cartoons as a kid. The highlighter is pressed gold in colour, which is just stunning. I would say it has a little bit of sparkle to it but nothing overboard.
Mica, Talc, Paraffinum Liquidum (Mineral Oil, Huile Minerale), Magnesium Stearate, Ethylhexyl Palmitate, Polybutene, Polyethylene, Dimethicone, Methylparaben, Propylparaben, Tin Oxide, CI 77891 (Titanium Dioxide), CI 77491 (Iron Oxides).
Between both of the batman eyeshadow palettes, this one stood out for me much more. I love that it has a mix of mattes and shimmers to work with. They compliment each other perfectly. I think the matte nudes and shimmers work perfectly with the batman theme.
Check out the list on their site. It’s far too long to post on here.
The prices start at £6 and are the most expensive item is £22. The highlighter is £6 and the eyeshadow palette is £8.
For the price point, I think they are both wonderful. The eyeshadow palette creates some stunning looks with little effort, the colours stand out and it’s stunning. As for the highlighter, that is just gorgeous too, creating beautiful shimmers in different light and settings, I am very glad I chose both of these.
Now I am not going to say they are perfect because they are not. First point the names of the shades are on a plastic sheet, rather than on the palette itself. Another point I would say is they both are very crumbly, the designs on the palette and highlighter disappear very quickly.

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.
It’s been a short second since Greggs brought out the new Gregg’s Vegan Sausage, Bean & CheeZe melt. I was very excited when they brought this pastry out because I just loved the original version. I haven’t had it for years ever since going veggie. I love reviewing new vegan products, it’s nice to find new favourites like the Burger King Vegan Royale.
This is one of a few things now available in Gregg’s that are suitable for vegans. I love the variety coming out now! Just a shame they got rid of the vegan steak bake, I liked that.

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.
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.
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
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.
