Printsfield – silly personalised socks | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Last October Jupiter wrote about the pair of Printsfield socks she’d been sent — they were custom printed with the face of our cat Pancake, and they were – all around – lovely. As a matter of fact, the only complaint was that the material that they were made from at the time lost image quality due to stretching.

Printsfield reached out to let us know that they’d changed the process, moving production to the US, their custom socks were now made from – and they kindly offered to send us another pair in order to show off the new material. No complaints from us, the socks had caused plenty of entertainment (and warm toes) around the house for the family.

Pet Head Cat Dry Clean Shampoo | Review

Some pets are a bit smellier then others. I’ve not had a cat before, but Pancake, our lovely Pancake, is sometimes a stinky cat. I don’t know what makes him stinky – it seems to be his natural scent, that he carries around. He doesn’t really get this scent on other things, it can just be smelled on him, but often it’s a bit much for a cat that always wants to cuddle. As an effort to cure our noses, and because this is pretty silly, I picked up a bottle of Pet Head Cat Dry Clean Shampoo.

Pet Head has tons and tons of products for doggos but is pretty limited in it’s cat range. Despite that, I wanted to try it out anyway. This shampoo had the scent of blueberry muffins, which was even more silly, as now Pancake would be a Blueberry Pancake, so I was totally on board. Pancake really doesn’t enjoy being wet, so we figured this would be a strange adventure for everyone.

The Body Shop Mini-Haul | Review

Now that we have been in isolation for a while, I’ve been impulse buying! I am sure many others are doing the same, but surrounded by advertisements tailored for exactly what I want with nowhere to go in the evenings have made for some great shopping hauls. I normally get a variety of bath products from Lush, but as they are no longer operating until the pandemic is over, I went looking for something new for my baths. Feeling a bit more into self-care, I picked up a few products beyond my usual body butter from The Body Shop to play around with.

Plant Pops – Popped Lotus Seeds Snack | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I don’t know about you, but we have never eaten lotus seeds before. When Plant Pops reached out, talking about a popped lotus seed snack, I was pretty interested in trying them! They harvest seeds from the waterlily plant- a type of lotus, dry them out, and then roast them so that they pop, becoming a crunchy snack. These snacks are quite low in calorie, vegan, and gluten free. Plant Pops currently offer three flavors: Peanut Butter, Smoked Chilli, and Himalayan Salt. I got to snack on all three!

These lotus seeds almost have a popcorn-like texture, which makes sense as the process seems quite similar. The biggest difference is the Plant Pops do not have the hard shells that popcorn have, you know, the ones that get trapped in your teeth and gums. It’s a much nicer experience. The flavouring on these different snacks are also really nice, with a great amount of seasoning per bite.

If the Slipper Fits… – Children’s Book | Review

[Ad- gifted product] If you’ve been here a while, you know we are big fans of reading before bed every night as a way to wind down. When we were presented with the children’s book ‘If the Slipper Fits…’ we were happy to add a story about dancing to our collection! Ballet and dancing doesn’t come up often in the books we currently have, so having a new topic to add to the book pile is always welcome. If the Slipper Fits… is book three in the Sugarplum Stars series, featuring the same adorable characters who have different dilemmas to take on.
