7ate9 Family Friendly Game | Review

[Ad- gifted product] 7ate9 is the latest one of the Ideal family game collection to be doing the rounds at the house – it’s a fun little card game based around quick maths and hand management. It’s also, like the other recent Ideal games which I’ve written about, got a really cool, compact storage option that comes with it. In 7ate9 the goal is quite simple, as a matter of fact, you just have to get rid of all of your cards before the other players.

Each card is oval-shaped, with a main number printed twice in the middle of it – so it can be seen from upside-down and right-side-up. This number can be from 1 through to 10, with ten. Then, in the corner of each card, there is a plus and minus symbol as well as a number from 1 to 3. Each card is coloured to match this little, top-corner multiplier – useful to remember for quicker play.

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.

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.

Benefits of mixing your own massage oil

[Ad- gifted product] I have back pain. I think it’s a pain most of us can really understand and relate with. When I was young, I was kicked by a horse and have had back pain ever since. One of the best ways to get rid of this back pain is through back massages. Not only do massages feel relaxing and great, but revealing pain is a big part of why I constantly want and enjoy back rubs! If you are a fan of massages, one of the key things to take your massage up to the next level is through using massage oil. I’ve enjoyed a variety of massage oils over time, but found that SOiL has some great options, especially when it comes to mixing your own oil to have the perfect blend for yourself. When it comes to mixing your own massage oil, you need two different oils; a carrier oil and an essential oil.
