Wild Ferns and Pecksniff's - Manuka honey and mandarin

I am loving these 2 products at the moment - Pecksniff's Hand Wash and Wild Ferns Manuka Honey Facial Scrub.



  First I will talk about Wild Ferns Facial Scrub

This is a gentle scrub containing pure active Manuka honey. Manuka is a flowering tea tree native to New Zealand. The honey that is collected from these flowers has long been renowned for its remarkable beneficial properties - antibacterial properties including an enzyme that produces hydrogen peroxide, which is a proven antiseptic. It is extremely rich in proteins, vitamins and minerals and has the outstanding ability to nourish, soothe and heal sensitive skin. Manuka honey also contains active antioxidants that neutralise free radicals which are responsible for skin cell damage. Manuka honey assists in the growth of new cell and tissue regeneration.

I was using L'Oreal Paris Dermo Expertise Clean Wash before but as I had run out I thought I would try something different. I was looking around Amazon and noticed Wild Fern and their amazing Manuka honey skin care products. I have heard so many good things about Manuka honey so I thought I'd order something.

I paid £11 for 100ml. It is not the real price, as I was looking around some New Zealand online shops and the face scrub itself costs around £5. If ordered from overseas and including all postage & tax, it would probably come to this full amount I paid. I just wanted to get it quickly - it arrived in 2 days.

I have used it 3 times now (I am using it twice a week) and I can say it is ideal for my skin. I have quite a mixed skin type - some parts of my face are oily and some extremely dry, which sometimes can make my skin flakey and cracked. This scrub is opening my pores and cleaning them thoroughly, removing oil deposits and helping to prevent pimples. It makes my skin's surface silky smooth and soft. 

A very good thing about this product is that you don't need much, a little drop is enough to do the work.


 

 




The other cleansing product I bought was Pecksniff's hand wash. I didn't think that it would surprise me that much. All other soaps leave my hands dry after washing (meaning I have to cream them often) but this one here is amazing! It leaves my hands moisturised, soft and delicately fragranced. Gentle and effective! I bought it from TKMaxx for £5.

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

10 things to do in Rockhampton

I have still a couple more posts coming up about my Australian trip. I hope they are an interesting read! After Brisbane , we flew to Tristan's hometown Rockhampton where we spent the remaining 2 weeks of our holiday. Rockhampton is a small city in Queensland with a population of around 62,000 people. Rockhampton experiences over 300 days of sunshine each year, which means it is a good place for tourism and outdoor activities. Known as the "Beef Capital of Australia" there is much more to do than just sit in the pub and eat burgers! I have made a list of 10 things you can do around Rockhampton. 1. Rockhampton Kershaw Botanical Gardens are a well visited attraction in Rockhampton. The park has many paved walking paths, rest areas, drinking fountains and beautiful scenery with many palms and tropical flowers.   2. Quay Street in Rockhampton is full of beautiful architecture and old buildings. The city centre (main street) is not very big but I think we spent at ...
