Grey Clouds Pilot Hat from My Little Duckling

I love this gift set & can’t wait to hand it over! The pattern is adorable & each item is made to a high standard, I regularly find poor stitching is a huge issue when I’ve bought baby gifts. This is something Karina, creator & designer of My Little Duckling noticed herself when her son was born.

Grey Clouds Bib From My Little Duckling

There is definitely no stitching issues with these, they look and feel amazing. I’m looking forward to proudly handing these gorgeous baby gifts over, safe in the knowledge they are of excellent quality. Along with the quality, you can tell time was taken to get the overall designs right. With the bib having 2 poppers to keep it secure and the mittens having poppers to keep them together, what an amazing idea!

5 Products I Discovered & Love So Far This Year

Crochet / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

I’ve put together 5 products I discovered and LOVE so far this year. As a blogger, I often receive products to review & I am always on the hunt for new products too. No doubt readers are often left wondering if we still love the products we mention or review. Do we still use them later down the line or do we find a replacement? I have fallen in love with 5 products so far this year.

5 Products I Love

Skincare

Altruist Dermatologist SPF 50 Sunscreen

One thing I HATE about sunscreen is how sticky it is & how sweaty we all look covered in the stuff. Altruist is totally different though, it feels much more like a moisturiser and soaks into your skin so quickly. It also doesn’t stain clothing, a big win when you are rushing to sunscreen a child before school or topping up at the park! An affordable sunscreen option that is perfect for all the family. Having used this several times, including Saturday when it turned into a scorcher whilst we were at the local park, I can safely say I won’t be touching another sunscreen from now on!

Yarn

5 Products I love - Drops yarn

 

Drops Paris Yarn From Wool Warehouse

I decided I needed to step out of my crocheting comfort zone and try to make the girls some cardigans. Naturally, I asked Twitter for help & having a quick browse through suggestions Drops Paris Yarn seemed ideal. 100% Cotton, this gorgeous yarn is so soft and comes in amazing pastel shades, perfect for the paste rainbow look we wanted! I ordered one lot for the first hooded cardigan & instantly fell in love, as did the girls. I quickly ordered an even bigger stash of Drops Paris and am halfway through Eva’s cardigan. This will definitely be a yarn I’ll be buying again and again!

Peter's Yard Charcoal & Rye Sourdough Crispbread

Peters Yard Charcoal & Rye Sourdough Crispbread 

The Mr got to try out a fab Fathers Day Hamper from Prestige Hampers which included these amazingly moreish crispbreads. Since we finished the packet I have consistently moaned that I want more. They taste amazing with cheese & having now discovered where I can order them online, I can see them being a regular in the cupboard! Who doesn’t love cheese & a good cracker/crispbread!?

Mental Health

Happy Post

Happy Post Cards

The name says it all really, how can you not love something designed to give happiness? Happy postcards are sent to those that need something to brighten their day & now Katie has added printable Happy Post Cards too. Now everyone can spread a little happiness!

Tech


ZAGG ifrogz Little Rockerz Children's Volume Limiting On-Ear Headphones, Kitten & Princess

ZAGG ifrogz Little Rockerz Children’s Volume Limiting On-Ear Headphones, Kitten & Princess

When you have 2 children who own tablets, headphones are absolutely necessary. I am so done with hearing Peppa pig & Scooby Doo on repeat, cheesy pop songs & ‘prank’ videos drive me insane! When Izzy broke her super girls headphones I got the girls a set of these funky headphones each, Kitten for Izzy & Princess for Eva. They are amazing! Not only do they protect my ears but they protect theirs too with an 85 decibel sound limit. The second best thing about these? No, not that they are cute, they have buddy jacks! This enables the girls to plug their headphones into the other set and listen from one tablet. Perfect when Eva’s tablet dies sooner than Izzy’s and great for long journeys too.

These are the top 5, stand out products we’ve used & fallen in love with this year that I couldn’t recommend more!

Affordable, Safer Skin With Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen

Physical and Mental Health / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

For affordable, safer skin this summer we’re using Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen. Formulated by two inspiring, ethically motivated altruists with the aim of producing the finest quality UV protection for the lowest possible price. Making safer skin more affordable and encouraging us to apply more sunscreen to reduce the risk of skin cancer.

Affordable, Safer Skin With Altruist Dermatologist Sunscreen

I make sure to cover the girls in SPF 50 sunscreen and top up regularly whilst we’re out. I have to admit, I do tend to forget about applying any sunscreen myself though. No doubt there are plenty of people like me who forget. It got me wondering so I had a little look around to see if I could find out just how many of us don’t wear sunscreen. According to YouGov’s research last year, almost 1 in 4 brits weren’t using sunscreen! That’s quite a shocking statistic really and one that needs to change through awareness and affordability of sunscreens.

 

Altruist Mission

Altruist aims to reduce the incidence of skin cancer with increased use of quality sunscreen along with better education and awareness. Conceived by a UK skin cancer specialist and top European scientists to provide premium quality sunscreen at an affordable price. Tinosorb A2B has been added for enhanced protection. Alongside providing an affordable sunscreen, Altruist also supports charitable causes supporting children with Albinism.

“Cost should never be a factor when decidinfg whether or not to wear sunscreen, or how much or how often to apply it. Everyone should have the basic right to take the necessary precautions to reduce their riss of developing skin cancer” – Skin Cancer Specialist and Altruist Founder DrBirnie.

Affordable, Safer Skin With Altruist

Why Should I Worry About Sunscreen?

Sunscreen prevents UV radiation from reaching the skin. UVB (ultraviolet radiation) causes sunburn and UVA cause wrinkles & brown spots (photoaging). Both UVB and UVA can contribute to the development of skin cancer so sunscreen is highly important. Dermatologists advise to cover up with clothes and a broad-rimmed hat when outdoors. They also recommend applying Sunscreen generously 20 minutes before going out and reapplying frequently.

Affordable, Safer Skin

The new Altruist range has some fab, affordable products to help you keep your skin safer this summer. It is also high in UVA and UVB protection, fragrance-free, non-sticky and water resistant. Suitable for all skin types with fast absorption leaving no residue. Altruist sunscreen is dermatologically tested and recommended and all products are available exclusively at Amazon.

The range includes:

Sunscreen Invisible Spray – 250ml for both SPF 30 & SPF 50 – RRP £5

Dermatologist Cream – SPF 30 200ml – RRP £4

Dermatologist Cream – SPF 50 100ml – RRP £3.75

Sustainable Father’s Day Gifts – WAKEcup Water Bottle Review

Alternative Gifts / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

Looking for sustainable Father’s Day gifts? WAKE have some fantastic sustainable gift ideas for dad this year including the WAKEcup Water Bottle (£15).

Sustainable Father's Day Gifts - WAKEcup water bottle review

WAKE

WAKE offer a range of stylish alternatives to single-use cups and bags made from sustainable goods such as bamboo, Tyvek Paper & BPA free plastic.

With plastic polluting our planet, alternative gift ideas are becoming much more necessary. 100 billion single-use coffee cups and millions of plastic bags end up in landfill every year around the world and, according to the Marine Conservation Society’s annual Great British Beach Clean, the number of coffee cups found on UK beaches have doubled in the last ten years.

WAKEcup is bidding to put an end to single-use cups and bags by introducing reusable, sustainable options. 10% of all profits go directly to WAKEcup’s eco charity partners, the Marine Conservation Society and A Plastic Ocean.

Sustainable Father’s Day Gifts

The WAKEcup is one of four stylish reusable cups available from WAKE. We received a bamboo water bottle (£15) to review with a stainless steel double wall inside. It also has a bamboo & stainless steel lid. Great sustainable Father’s day gifts that can help the planet with a gorgeous natural wood finish. The beautiful design can also be engraved on to. In-store personalisation of the WAKEcup range is taking place at Selfridges from 15th – 17th June. A great idea if you want to make it extra special for dad.

WAKEcup - Sustainable bamboo water bottle
The WAKEcup will keep your drink ice cold for up to 4 hours. It can store 450ml of hot or cold liquids & the bottle and lid are guaranteed not to leak. Leaks are one of my biggest pet peeves when we go out, it’s a relief to find something that is watertight. The WAKEcup is strong and feels durable, unlike many plastic alternatives, you can tell it will last some time.

Saving Time & Money

You can reuse and refill the water bottle as much as you want & it is completely dishwasher safe too! Why not help the planet as well as buy dad a sustainable, thoughtful, Father’s day gift that he can use time & time again? With the Latte Levy, various coffee shops offer a 25p discount for reusing your own cups. You can save money too! WAKE estimates the WAKEcup will last over 1,095 uses, a cup of coffee each day for 3 years! Meaning you can save £253.75 across the lifespan of a WAKEcup. That’s not bad a bad gift at all!

WAKEcup’s and the rest of the WAKE range are available from their website – Global WAKEcup or from Not On The High Street

Food Prep Using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler

Children's Food & Drinks / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple
Food Prep Using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler

The girls enjoyed some Food prep using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler this week. Eva wanted to make fruit kebabs and since we were sent some Kiddies Food Kutters & Safety Food Peelers I figured I’d let the girls try them out. After the girls had been poorly, followed by a heat wave, healthy fruit kebabs sounded like a fantastic idea.

Kiddies Food Kutter

The Kiddies Food Kutter is a safety knife designed specifically for children aged 2 years + including children with special needs. Using an ergonomic design, these knives are suitable for left & right handers. As these were originally designed for pumpkin carving, they are stainless steel, safe, strong & sturdy. The Kiddies Food Kutter teaches fine motor skills, hand-eye coordination, independence, and confidence.

Using a sawing action to cut, Izzy managed to slice up a banana with ease. She has previously struggled with knives aimed at her age group and is a little wary of full sized knives. The fact Izzy failed to break it proves Kiddies Food Kutters are definitely strong & sturdy as she is basically a 3-year-old version of the hulk, so that’s saying something! As she had sliced it herself, Izzy finally ate a banana for the first time in almost 2 years too.

Food Prep Using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler

Eva has slightly weak hand muscles & can sometimes struggle to grip things tightly but she had no issue with the Kiddies Food Kutter. Neither of the girls had any issues and with rounded teeth & no sharp edges, there was no risk of cut fingers. As washing up is my pet hate I love the fact Kiddies Food Kutters are dishwasher safe & BPA free too!

Food Prep

 

Safety Food Peeler

The Australian made & owned Safety Food Peeler has a unique bladeless design to keep fingers safe. Children 3 years and up, including those with special needs, the disabled, adult left-handers, the elderly with arthritis and dementia can peel fruit & vegetables easily with the ergonomically designed handle. The Safety Food Peeler has a special fingerprint marking for placing your pointer finger. This allows you to slide the peeler along slowly peeling long ribbons off. Only light pressure is required to peel long ribbons off fruit or vegetables.

Izzy gave the Safety Food peeler a try but quickly decided she wasn’t keen on how quickly the peeler slid. She decided to stick to slicing with the Kiddies Food Kutter as she enjoyed being able to cut everything up. I’m sure with time she will give it another go though and I will certainly try again very soon.


Safety Food Peeler

Eva much preferred the Safety Food Peeler to our normal peeler which she gets rather nervous about. She found the Safety Food Peeler much easier to control. It took a few attempts peeling her pear to get the hang of the Safety Food Peeler. She kept moving her finger off the fingerprint but once she remembered this she got on much better with it. Feeling much more confident, she has since decided she wants to help peel vegetables for our dinners more often!

Food Prep Using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler

Food prep is certainly easier using the Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler for kids. It gives parents peace of mind when giving children the responsibility of cutting or preparing their own food. We love encouraging the girls to get involved in growing & preparing their own food and these fab tools help them do it safely. With my anxiety, it can be a bit stressful at times, especially when knives and peelers are involved so having these products in the drawer is a huge relief.

Kiddies Food Kutters & Safety Food Peelers are available separately in 1’s & 3’s or together as a 2 pack or 4 pack through Kiddies Food Kutters Store. They start at just £6.82 each.

Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler

Would you feel a little safer letting your kids help with food prep using Kiddies Food Kutter & Safety Food Peeler too?

 

 

 

Personalised Phone Cases From MyPersonalisedCase.co.uk

Personalised Gifts / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

Personalised Phone Cases from MyPersonalisedCase.co.uk are so easy to design. With a whole range of templates and designs and the option to create your own, I decided to do something a little different. The Mr recently bought me a (working!) LG G5 but I haven’t found a case I liked yet so designing my own LG G5 Case was great.

Personalised Phone Cases From MyPersonalisedCase.co.uk

Personalised Phone Cases

As a blogger, it’s handy to have your details to hand and easy to show. With a few summer events coming up I decided to create a business card phone case. Especially since I keep forgetting to order actual business cards. I would no doubt forget to take them or hand them out anywhere anyway, haha! I never forget my phone though and generally have it in my hand so a business card personalised phone case seemed a great idea. The Mr came up with the idea of adding a QR code as most phones have a QR reader and people could easily scan and view my site.

Business card phone case design

Adding my site address, Twitter and Instagram accounts makes it easier for people to find me. I don’t tend to use facebook much so decided to leave that out. I used an app to create a QR code linking to my site. Then, using Canva, I quickly created the layout I wanted, using my blog colours & font. Once I was happy, I uploaded it on MyPersonalisedCases.co.uk and made sure it fit the case correctly. It is so quick & easy to upload, turn and resize images.. I was also impressed with how quickly my personalised phone case arrived. I ordered late Thursday night & it arrived Monday! Everyone who has seen the case has been impressed the QR code works

My personalised cases offer a fantastic personalised case service allowing you to make your own phone case exactly how you want. I will definitely be returning to create a collage case with photos of the girls.

New Unicorn Nametag And Mermaid Nametag Designs From My Nametags

Product Reviews / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

New Unicorn nametag and Mermaid nametag designs are now available from My Nametags. We are huge fans of My Nametags as they literally stick to EVERYTHING! Fab Mermaid & Unicorn designs being added to the range is a bonus for me since both girls love them. Any parent, especially of school-age children will know nametags can literally save the day, especially when it comes to lost property at school.

New Unicorn Nametag Deisgns & Mermaid Nametags from MyNametags.com

The girls couldn’t wait to design a new set each when we found out My Nametags had just added Unicorn nametag and mermaid nametag designs to their range. Both girls designed their own nametags last year and they have made our life so much easier.

These awesome nametags can be designed by you and cost £11.95 (+£1 P&P) for 56 Coloured labels. Start off by adding up to 3 lines of text (Max. 15 characters each) and select the font style & colour. Next, choose your design from a huge range such as unicorns, mermaids, fruit, flowers, cars and more. You can then select from a wide range of background designs to complete your sticker before ordering.

Unicorn Nametag

Unicorn Namtag

Eva really enjoyed designing new unicorn nametags and loved the designs available. Adding her name in bright pink ‘Script’ font, Eva then chose a unicorn head with a rainbow mane and selected the ‘Rays Pink’ background. This resulted in a lot of squealing, even more so when they arrived just a few days later!

Mermaid Nametag

Mermaid Nametag

Izzy loved the new mermaid nametag design so she chose that design along with the ‘Hearts light pink 1’ background. She chose Purple ‘Handwriting’ font to complete her nametags.

Personalised Mermaid Namtag on nightlight.

We use our Nametags from My Nametags on books, purses, bags, teddies (to stop the girls confusing identical teddies, lifesaver!), lunch boxes, nightlights, suncream, and school uniform. Nametags come in useful for so many different purposes and My Nametags offer quality, long lasting nametags. We will definitely continue using My Nametags time & time again, especially with new unicorn & mermaid designs!

Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack Review

Kids Toys / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

Eva loved doing this Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack review with me this week! An ever-growing fan of Glam Goo, Eva couldn’t wait to get her hands on this fab pack with Glitter Purse & Double Ring! She loved the Confetti Pack & the Fantasy pack, so no surprise she was so excited with Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack too. Each Glam Goo pack comes with fab accessories to fill with slime along with sparkles & colours to mix up your slime & make it fashionable!

Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack Review

Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack Review

The Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack comes with a Glitter Purse storage case for your Glam Goo slime creations. The Purse is lockable by turning the pink handle on top and has 9 sections to fill with your Glam Goo. The purse also comes with a pink lid to cover the storage section keeping your slime fresh.

Contents - Glam Goo Deluxe Pack

The pack contains a large pot of Glam Goo which is enough to make several different creations. This deluxe pack comes with Cloud Crunch, Daydreams & Unicorn Tears sparkles. It also comes with Electric Blue & Pinky Promise sparkle colours, Violent Vibes scent & a mixing spoon.

Cotton Candy Crunch

Glam Goo starts off rather sticky but the more you work it the easier it gets & turns from clear to white. We divided the large pot of Glam Goo into several portions and following the instruction included created 4 different Glam Goo looks.

Pinky Promise & Daydreams

First of all, we started with Cotton Candy Crunch. This Consists of Pinky Promise, Daydreams & Cloud Crunch. This mixture turns into a pink sparkly creation!
Cotton Candy Crunch - Glam Goo

Purple Rain

Next, we tried out Purple Rain which consists of Pinky Promise, Electric Blue, Violet Vibes & Unicorn Tears! This is definitely my favourite creation with this pack haha! I caught this picture below & love how you can see the individual colours mixing to slowly create a purple colour.

Mixing Purple Rain - Glam Goo Deluxe

Eva loved how Purple Rain turned out too and enjoyed the violet Vibes scent. Adding scent makes your Glam Goo a little sticky but as with when you start! Working the slime for a few minutes returns it back to a stretchy slimy consistency.
Purple Rain & Unicorn Tears

Halo It’s Me

Halo It’s Me was next on the list so Eva set to work mixing Daydreams, Unicorn Tears & Cloud Crunch into the clear slime. Eva loved this sparkly creation and is one of her favourites. She really enjoyed helping take photo’s for this Glam Goo Deluxe Slime Pack Review too and took this fab one below.

Halo It's Me

She liked this mix so much with all the different coloured sparkles. Eva decided to fill up the double ring some Halo it’s me and of course, couldn’t wait to pose for a photo. Being able to fill up fun fashion accessories like this make Glam Goo that little bit more fun! You can see Eva genuinely enjoys these fun slime packs in photo’s too.

Glam Goo Double Ring

Shimmer Lake

Once she finally stopped posing, Eva got back to creating Shimmer Lake which consists of Electric Blue, Daydreams & Violet Vibes. I love the Electric Blue, it is such a lovely, vibrant shade!

Shimmer Lake

 

Eva really enjoyed creating so many different versions of the Glam Goo slime & loved filling up the Double ring & Storage Purse. This fab pack kept her entertained for almost 2 hours straight. This is the perfect gift for any slime/goo fan out there!

Glam Goo Storage Purse

We also mixed up our own creations at the end using leftover ingredients from this kit, the Confetti Pack & Fantasy pack, eventually filling the purse! Having tried out 3 different packs we love Glam Goo products, they are so much fun!

Glam Goo Purse

Do your children love Glam Goo too? Have you seen the Glam Goo Deluxe Pack before?

Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit – Review

Education / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

Eva received the Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit to review this week. She loves her Camryn Coyle Doll she reviewed earlier this week & was ecstatic to receive the Ultimate Lab Kit too. Project Mc2 is a Netflix series aimed at encouraging girls to enjoy S.T.E.A.M based activities. S.T.E.A.M stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Maths. Definitely a good choice for girls Eva’s age!

 

Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit

Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit

The fab Ultimate Lab Kit comes in a handy zip up plastic bag which opens up to reveal fantastic storage & science apparatus. Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit is suitable from 6 years & requires adult supervision with several experiments. The set comes with safety goggles, a Microscope, glass slides, test tubes with a stand, funnel, beaker, 3 lab bottles, PH strips, pipette, petri dish, safety goggles. The Ultimate lab kit also comes with a fashionable Mc2 ring & 2 sticker sheets & a book full of fun experiments to try.

Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit Contents

This fantastic lab kit comes with all the basics to get started with some fun experiments & a booklet to help you out with 30 experiments to try! Each experiment requires household ingredients you may already have or can be easily found in supermarkets. This fun lab kit really does encourage girls to enjoy experimenting & having fun, Project Mc2 is definitely a new favourite here!

Having checked out the contents of this fab kit & tried on the safety goggles & Mc2 ring, we took a look through the book of experiments to see if we had any ingredients to help us get started.

Cloud In A Jar Experiment

The Cloud in a jar experiment is the first experiment we found in the helpful booklet full of experiments. It seemed simple enough & we had all the items needed.  For this experiment, you will need an aerosol Ice Cubes & Boiling Water & the Project Mc2 beaker. We ended up making a cloud in a jar twice, the first time didn’t work out too well. Our hairspray may have sat in the cupboard a little too long, oops!

Creating A Cloud In A Jar

 

 

Trying again with my Sure spray we sprayed a little into the boiling water. We then sat the lid upside down with ice cubes on top & waited to see what happened. This experiment shows how a cloud forms, using boiling water which creates lots of warm water vapour.

Watching Our Cloud In A Jar Form

 

Cloud In A Jar Experiment

As the ice quickly cools it forms tiny water droplets AKA clouds! The aerosol spray gives water molecules something to hold on to which they need to do as they cool down. Our second attempt turned out a little bitter but our cloud definitely preferred to stay in the jar!

Eva really enjoyed this experiment & is writing a shopping list of ingredients for our next experiment. The Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit is fantastic for getting girls excited about science & encouraging them to experiment. We try to encourage the girls to do things like this at home & having the Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab kit is definitely going to make that easier!

What do you think of the Project Mc2 Ultimate Lab Kit?

Project Mc2 Experiment Doll – Camryn’s Nail Polish – Review

Education / 8 years ago / RelentlesslyPurple

Eva received a Project Mc2 Experiment Doll – Camryn’s Nail Polish to review this week. Project Mc2 is a series on Netflix showing smart is the new cool with a team of 4 super smart, seriously cool girls. Each Project Mc2 Experiment doll comes with an experiment for you to complete at home with the help of S.T.E.A.M (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Maths).

Project Mc2 Experiment Doll - Camryn's Nail varnish

Project Mc2 Experiment Doll – Camryn’s Nail Polish

Camryn Coyle is the construction queen & this fab 12″ doll comes dressed in an off the shoulder ball dress with detachable dragon wings & mask. Camryn also comes with a mini hammer, excavator & funnel to help you with your Nail Polish experiment.

Camryn's Nail Varnish Experiment Doll

Eva’s Nail Polish Experiment

Crushing Eyeshadow

Eyeshadow is usually made from a mixture of talc powder and coloured pigments which is pressed into a palette. Crushed eyeshadow can be dissolved in nail polish which is usually made from ‘Ethyl Acetate’. Scientists call this a ‘Non-Polar Solvent’ which allows you to add colour to your clear nail polish.

Firstly, Eva broke up the eyeshadow by smashing it up with the hammer.

Scooping Eyeshadow into Nail Varnish

Once the eyeshadow was crushed up, Eva began scooping the loosened powder into the funnel. We sat the funnel on top of the clear nail polish bottle. Then she closed the bottle up and shook it up until well mixed, creating a pearly pink colour.

PINK NAIL VARNISH!!

As you can see, Eva was really pleased she had made her very own pink nail polish. Eva can’t wait to try out some more experiments & can’t wait to check out the rest of the Project Mc2 dolls. We then tried out her nail polish out to see how well it had turned out, she was really pleased with the result! Eva said it was a super fun experiment.
