Win a Morning Sidekick Journal - rachel bustin

Expired

You know how much I love to read and write, so when I was asked if I wanted to have a look at a new type of journal I squealed in delight! Yes!!
I’m in love with my new journal! – just wanted to get that out there!
The Morning Sidekick Journal is amazing. Full of ideas and tips to help you get the most out of life.
It’s beautiful to hold. Hardback with fantastic thick pages, the feel of a quality product. It has one of those great bookmarks, so you won’t lose your place and an elastic band to keep it closed. There is the option of having a pdf version as well, so you can fill in on your laptop, if that’s the better option for you.
WHAT’S THE MORNING SIDEKICK JOURNAL ALL ABOUT?Their mission is to help us better ourselves. They will help by being a book-sized trainer to build this life-altering habit into our day-to-day life (their words!)
This journal is jam-packed with tips and strategies that have been discovered by people who have mastered their mornings. Full of actionable tips and motivating content as well.
Each day for 66 days there is new information, motivation tips, and accountability that you need to stay on track to better yourself.
I did wonder why it’s for 66 days, but apparently on average it takes 66 days to form a habit! Is this why I have to eat a couple of squares of chocolate each day? Did I once eat a couple of squares of chocolate every day for 66 days so now I have a habit? or is that called an addiction? Haha!
The Morning Sidekick Journal describes to us the phases of building a new habit:
Days 1-7 – Hell Week
Days 8-21 – Staying Consistent
Days 21-26 – Hardwiring – Retaining Interest in your Personal Development
Days 66 + – Habit Mastery
I agree it’s going to be hard to start, but I want to better myself and so a bit of elbow grease and an open mind is how I’m going to start.
The Morning Sidekick Journal has many different types of content to help you. These are:
Pro Tips
Daily Challenges
Clips & Podcasts
Success Stories
Affirmations
The journal is brilliantly designed. It has many little illustrations, great tick boxes and the tasks are broken down into manageable bite size chunks. It encourages you to be more productive with your mornings.
MY EXPERIENCES SO FAR…
I’m now a week in to using my journal so coming out of hell week! Just a few minutes a day in the mornings and before bed to pop in and do the tasks is all it takes. I’m using the journal to help me organise/prioritise my blog around work and family life to become a better blogger is my aim. To be more productive in the mornings and make the most out of my day.
If I’m being honest I don’t know if I will keep up with the journal for 66 days, but will definitely keep on reading the useful tips provided daily.
WHERE TO GET ONE
You can buy The Morning Sidekick Journal from Habitnest.com which costs $29.90 and includes the digital pdf version as well. (price correct as of March 2017)

Win a Lee Stafford Lighten Up Mirror - rachel bustin

Expired

I have always been a fan of Lee Stafford products, so when I was asked to review the Lighten Up Mirror, I was very excited! Not only is it in one of my favourite colours, but it’s a very useful product that will stand out on my bathroom shelf. I will keep it in here for use in the very early mornings (I’m talking before 5am!). It’s very lightweight so great to transport to your dressing table if needed.
The Lighten Up Mirror arrived very well packaged in polystyrene inside the cardboard box. This is needed due to the breakable nature of the mirror. We don’t want 7 years bad luck do we?WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LIGHTEN UP MIRROR?So the purpose of the mirror is to complete your dressing area in style with the pink chrome mirror – I love this!
It has a soft warm illumination perfect for your beauty regime – Totally needed to cover up my bags under my eyes from the lack of sleep!
Double sided with a 360 degrees rotating angle to make sure you look glamorous from every angle – aww thanks, just what I need!
1x and 3x magnification for those close up moments when a steady hand is needed.
Hello! This is me trying to take a photo of the mirror! Haha no matter how hard I tried I couldn’t get my face in the mirror and take a photo as well. As you can tell I don’t do this very often!
In the photo the light is switched off. It still works perfectly well as you can tell in natural daylight.
PRODUCT FEATURES
Double sided with 1x and 3x magnification
360 degrees rotating design
Soft, warm illumination
Battery operated (batteries not supplied)
1 year guarantee
The mirror operates using 3 AA batteries, they are easy to fit into the base. The one thing that is great about the mirror is that you can replace the bulbs. Ideal for long-term use! It has an easy on/off switch at the base for the light.

Win a copy of Under the Love Umbrella - rachel bustin

Expired

Hello, I hope you had a great week.
Today I’m on the blog tour for Under the Love Umbrella by Davina Bell and illustrated by Allison Colpoys. My first thought is what a wonderful eye-catching cover for a children’s book.
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Whatever you fear, come close my dear
You’re tucked in safe for always here
And I will never not be near
Because of our love umbrella
From this award-winning creative duo comes a book about the wonder of ever-present love. A stunning celebration of the joy and comfort that is always with us, wherever we roam in the big, wild world.
Who’s under your Love Umbrella?MY REVIEW
Wow what an eye-catching front cover. It’s bright, with gorgeous illustrations. It actually has a slight fluorescence colour scheme to it.
Under the Love Umbrella is a book about fears that young children may have. Whether that’s a fear of the dark, change, loud noises or why they are anxious. I believe it’s designed for ages 2-6 years, still a little young for my 1-year-old but she still loves flipping through the colourful pages.
I adore the way the author describes the scenarios in the book, and the words are full of emotion and love. It’s fantastically illustrated and it just makes the book come alive.
It’s a hardback book with great quality pages, a keeper for the coffee table.

Now onto the giveaway. The wonderful people at Scribe UK have let me giveaway a copy of Under the Love Umbrella. To enter all you have to do is fill in the rafflecopter below.

Win a set of Lee Stafford Straight & Juicy Irons - rachel bustin

Expired

It been a few years since the last time I straightened my hair, I used to have the time to do it each morning! So when I was offered the chance to try out Lee Stafford’s Straight & Juicy Irons, I thought now that baby girl is older I need to make a little time for myself, so why not give them a go?The uBunTu Oils Straight and Juicy Irons are a ceramic styler suitable for all hair types. It has variable temperature settings to help minimise heat exposure to your hair which can cause damage. It also has floating plates which are infused with uBunTu Oils from Africa to help reduce snagging and to pamper and restore your hair.
Features
Ceramic plates infused with uBunTu OiLs from Africa for shiny and healthy hair.
Straighten and curl.
Fast heat up time.
Auto shut off after 60 minutes for safety.
Digital LED control for greater accuracy.
Heat’s up from 150°C – 230°C
Floating plates for easy gliding and no snagging.
Swivel Cord.
Lock button to keep the plates closed.
2 Year Manufacturers guarantee.
My Thoughts
I’m in love with the shocking pink colour! It’s bright funky and super stylish. The point of the infused plates with the uBunTu Oil is to help nourish your hair as well as repair and restore. I have to say my normal thick dry hair was feeling much smoother and tamed after using the straight and juicy irons.
It’s great that you can change the temperature, which you can’t do on a lot of straighteners. The first time I used them I had it on a lower temperature to let my hair get used to it, but I think next time I will go hotter as my hair is very thick and can take it. The panel on top of the straighteners lights up to show you what heat setting it is on. It’s bright and clear so easy to see.
They are lightweight and won’t give you an achy arm if you are using them for a while. The cord is a decent length and it swivels for ease of movement.
I can’t really compare them to more expensive straighteners in terms of how good they are, but for me and general use I’d say they are great value for money.
They are currently £22.99 at Amazon so a total bargain!

Win a copy of The Merciless Lion and the Cunning Hare - rachel bustin

Expired

This week we have been reading all about The Merciless Lion and the Cunning Hare by Corrine Riviere. A great bedtime story for slightly older kids than baby girl. I think at this age (16 months) she just loves the sound of my voice, and won’t understand what this story is about.
Nonetheless we love to have a look through the book together.
The Merciless Lion and the Cunning Hare Review and GiveawayPin this image on Pinterest
BOOK DESCRIPTION
Once upon a time lived a proud lion. He was bold and powerful, and called himself the king.
All of the other animals were frightened of him.
One day, the lion went for his daily swim in a nearby lake. He was FURIOUS to find that the water was filthy.
Who dared use his pool? And what happened when they were caught?The Merciless Lion and the Cunning Hare Review and GiveawayPin this image on Pinterest
OUR REVIEW
Chapter 1 starts off with telling us the background of the lion. What he’s like and how he rules his kingdom. I don’t want to spoil the story too much for you, but the lion isn’t a nice king. He abuses his power. All the other animal are frightened of him. Every other day he holds a meeting to make sure no one is plotting against him. He really is a paranoid king. The lion would find any excuse for punishment.
When the hare comes along he’s a cheeky little thing and has an answer for everything!
As I read through the book, I did find some of the punishment that the lion threatens to inflict a little bit harsh for a children’s book, but it is written in a clever way. It’s one of those stories with a moral at the end, that makes you think. I’m not going to spoil it for you but the hare is a cunning creature!
I love the vivid illustrations on every other page, they really do jump out at you, so perfect in telling with the story.
I’m going to give The Merciless Lion and the Cunning Hare by Corinne Riviere 4 out of 5 stars.
Paperback, 53 pages
