Little Life

My eldest daughter had a Little Life backpack in a ladybird design and I thought it was fantastic. the zip compartment fits a pull up, wipes, a snack, a drink and spare clothes .

My youngest daughter picked this Space Shuttle design, the straps easily adjust and are easy to fit on even though she is very petite. She loves the independence of walking in her own with her own backpack and her own things and i know the handle is right there if i need her closer to me.

Couldn't recommend these anymore!

CUSTOMISING JEANS

Children are always falling of bikes and swings and skateboards and we seem to spend our lives buying jeans. Fear not, old school patches are hip again I bought a selection cheaply off ebay to see how easy it is to customise old jeans and give them another summers wear.

Simply place your patches over the hole

I also added two other patches in the same theme to customise the second leg

This literally takes minutes to iron on the patches with a hot iron and the look is completely new and perfect for another summer of playing

Patches are so cheap on ebay and ironing literally takes minutes

REVIEW

Famous Gardener's Honey Hand Cream 100g

Its that time of year when the last of the bedding plants are going into the soil ready to join the rest of the flowers we hope will bloom for a colourful summer. Last weekend I added my sweet peas to a garden already filled with petunia baskets, strawberry planters and a trough of wild poppies. If like me you have sensitive skin all that digging  can take its toll. Treat your hands to this beautiful hand cream Made in Britain on the Cheshire and Shropshire border.Garden News have deemed it their best buy and I can really see why the smell whilst being subtle still reaches you as you open the easy to unscrew tub, perfect if you still have a gardening glove on the other hand. The honey based cream really moisturises and as its natural can be used as many times as you like. Thirty years of experience and pumped into the range and they are also Vegetarian Society Approved so cruelty free skincare made in Britain that smells as great as your garden looks , what more can you ask for?

SENSITIVE SOUL'S

If like me you have sensitive skin you have to be so careful when choosing products that don't react with my skin so often stick to the old faithfuls I have used for years and have proved their worth in being none irritant.

Imperial Leather is a brand that most people have heard of and a staple in a lot of bathrooms. They have developed a fantastic new range - Skinkind  Bath Soaks and Body Milks in the range are formulated to be kind to skin with hypoallergenic ingredients dermatologically tested to be kind to skin and boost moisture levels using natural extracts such as Cotton, Oat Milk, Lotus Flower, White Tea, Cucumber and Aloe Vera extract.

I found when using the Bath Soak's a thick bath foam develops and as well as making the water smell divine my skin did feel noticeably soothed and smooth afterwards.

 Imperial Leather Skin Kind Hydrating Bath Milk and Restoring Gentle Bath Soak,

 £2.69 each for 500ml, Restoring Body Wash is also available,
