Food & Drink Festival Online – Discover new brands

As many of the food festivals I normally would attend were cancelled, there became a bunch of new online classes and recipes popping up, but nothing really covered the ability to find new brands, all together in one space, and see what products they have to offer. Some of my favorite food festival memories are walking around castles, viewing new, small businesses that I had never heard of who make the coolest infused oils or rainbow pastas. Richard Reeves was speaking to the founder of Nauteas, Katia Sokolskaya and came up with the idea of a digital event focused on showing off some brands that otherwise wouldn’t be seen this year! I wanted to highlight a few from their Food & Drink Festival Online 2020.

ORGANii Eucalyptus & Citrus Mouthwash | Review

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to dental care, mouthwash was always that one thing that I didn’t ever like the taste of. There are tons of health benefits to using mouthwash after you do brush your teeth, so as someone who doesn’t enjoy many of the default, strange blue colored ones out there, I was interested in trying out ORGANii’s different mouthwashes. They have two flavors; Eucalyptus and Citrus – with Citrus really peaking my interest. As I have been trying to better take care of myself, I found wanted to find a mouthwash that I better liked using.

These mouthwashes are made with aloe vera – a natural anti-fungal and antibacterial plant extract – and are formulated to help protect teeth and gums, as well as prevent plaque and tar build up, and of course fight bad breath and gingivitis. They both boost the creation of collagen, improving the mouth’s ability to heal. These are obviously all huge positives and well worth adding a mouthwash to you tooth brushing routine.

Garden design inspiration for a more tranquil outdoor space

The weather has been fantastic lately, everyone is still stuck at home still, so if you haven’t already – it’s finally time to make your outdoor space a bit better for you and your family to enjoy. We have been touching up our medium sized garden over the last few weeks, adding in outdoor storage so that toys are put away and working towards making the garden more usable for everyone in our family. While planning out this garden, I figured it would be interesting to share some of the ideas I’ve had to create a more tranquil outdoor space – hopefully it helps you create your own dream garden.

Gener8 – Browser Extension that rewards watching Ads

[Ad- gifted product] When I heard about Gener8 – an extension that pitched itself as being similar to Honey, I was quite interested in checking it out. For those of you who aren’t familiar with browser extensions, they are add on apps to your browser that can do a bunch of different tasks. Honey is one that I use often, as it automatically searches the web and finds discount codes, then uses them to get discounts when online shopping. Gener8 isn’t looking to give you coupons and instead rewards you with virtual currency for watching ads if you use the browsers Chrome or Firefox.

Ads are all over the internet, on virtually every website you see. It does sound strange to get paid to view ads, especially as ads are how other companies do make money on their site. I was honestly very skeptical, but after using the browser for a few weeks now, I think I’ve figured most things out. Gener8 seems to replace ads on websites with their own ads – including putting their logo in the corner. My theory is that they then earn money from these ads, which allows them to give users rewards while still keeping some of the revenue. Personally, I do not know how the split would work for the websites that they are putting their ads on or how any of this works within the backend, but after watching some ads, viewing some sites, and generally using their platform – I had a bunch of their currency.

Grabolo! Family Friendly Game | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I only recently wrote about the fantastic Slam It! one of the family-friendly tabletop games that Ideal have on the market. Alongside that, there’s been a couple of other Ideal games that have been doing the rounds with the family. The favourite, by far and large, is Grabolo, a game of quick reflexes and memory.

Grabolo is a favourite for a couple of reasons, I’ll get into those reasons in a moment, but let’s talk about what it actually is first. Grabolo is a tub of 36 pieces, an instruction leaflet and two dice. There are six designs for the pieces, and six colours for them too. This means that you’ll have six (for instance) pig pieces, but each one will be a different colour. One die has the colours on, and the other has the shapes on.
