ghd Obedience Cream for Frizz-Free Styling

I recently reviewed this ghd Obedience Cream for the very lovely Jenny from Talk Perfection and decided it was so good, i ought to add it on my blog!
I was very weary about using this product as i have extremely fine, flyaway hair which most taming products leave looking dull and greasy, however, this one was different!
As per the directions, i washed my hair, towel dried it a little then rubbed a small amount of this gel into my palms and began working through my hair - it smells gorgeous.  My hands did become quite sticky, but my hair felt fine.  Once i'd rubbed it through, it was time to blowdry and this is the point at which my hair usually becomes flyaway.  Alas, i managed to dry my hair without having to catch it first, then it was time for the ultimate test - the straighteners.  I was sure it would fail at this point, but surprisingly, it didn't.  My hair styled much better than normal and still looked clean and shiny - no static the next day after brushing either.
This tube is available direct from ghdhair and costs £12.95 (which includes free express delivery in the UK)
I strongly recommend this to anyone who struggles to tame their hair xx

Percola Cola

To be perfectly honest, i didn't realise that you could buy organic cola, so was quite surprised when i received this.

Normally, i always stick to Coca Cola, but was more than willing to give this a go, and quite glad i did!

With no additives or artificial flavouring, this had a very nice taste and wasn't too sweet - i pretty much got the same response from the rest of the household too. My only complaint would be that it slightly lacked in fizz - however my other half has sensitive teeth so he found this wasn't a problem.

Syrup Waffles

These were so simple to heat, they can either be warmed in the oven, or amazingly, you can sit them on top of a cup of hot tea/coffee until they heat and the syrup softens.....now how good's that?
This pack contains 6 waffles which have a generous helping of golden syrup running through the middle of each.
My youngest daughter wasn't very keen, but again, my eldest loved them and said that she would happily like to have these on a regular basis. My partner and myself both enjoyed them, but did find them slightly sickly - so 1 each was the limit!
Overall, a very tasty treat, but only in moderation.
Please check out GoodnessDirect http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/home.html they have loads of exciting products on site - well worth a look!

Meat Free Pepperoni

Well, admittedly i was a little sceptical about trying this as i'm definately no fan of Pepperoni, however, this meat-free alternative was simply delicious!

It has a really nice consistency, isn't too stongly flavoured, but enough so you can taste it and its again, ideal for lunchboxes. My eldest daughter who's 15 absolutely loved this and is now asking for it all the time - really must get some more. My youngest daughter (the fussier of the two) wasn't quite so keen - she was willing and gave it a go, but it just wasn't to her taste. My other half also was daring (as he's pretty fussy too) and his verdict was that it was quite nice, but he couldn't manage alot of it - i reckon they are an ideal size!

Ideal for vegetarians but also a great snack for meat lovers too - you can purchase this from GoodnessDirect here http://www.goodnessdirect.co.uk/cgi-local/frameset/script/home.html

They also offer free delivery on all orders over £35.00 so well worth a look!
