Review: My Cocktail Woo Woo

So since the sun has come out to play this week
I will have some summery type posts to share with you. 

First of all this review of this lovely cocktail,
after all summer is here and who doesn't like 
to sit back and relax in the sunshine with a ice old
drink. 


Mycocktail sell a range of cocktails and mocktails 
in a pouch. 


I was sent the new limited edition Woo Woo cocktail which is a 
refreshing blend of vodka, peach schnapps and cranberry juice. 

The Woo Woo replaces the limited edition Summer fruit punch 
and was selected by fans on there facebook page. 
where they got to vote for  their favourite cocktail. 






The cocktail is very refreshing and the pouch makes the cocktail
easy to pour and the foil helps to keep it at a constant cool temperature. 

I personally am not much of a drinker, however I do love a cocktail.
This cocktail was a little stronger than I am use to, so if like me you
don't like strong drinks than I would recommend  adding some lemonade to it. 


Review: Cadbury Fredo Faces

For all lovers of the mini Freddo chocolate bars
you are going to love the brand new Cadbury Freddo Faces.
The Launch of these yummy chocolate faces marks the 
14th anniversary of the Cadbury Freddo being introduced to the UK. 


Freddo is renowned for being a product targeted for kids.
These 35.0g bags will be hitting the shelves at 52p. 
As usual they are in Cadburys snazzy purple packaging
and you get approx 12 pieces in a pack. 
They are formed in a 'happy', 'grumpy', 'cheeky', 'confused' and 'in love' Freddo faces.


They taste just as lovely as always creamy, sweet, delicious 
tasting milk chocolate. 
Even the big kid in you at heart will love these Freddo faces. 




Overall I have satisfied with these chocolate faces
and I feel they will prove popular not just due to there 
scrummy taste but also as they are portion controlled 
so you get your chocolate hit but not over doing it.

Now onto my Bucket List 
I have chose to do 2 Budget and 2 extravagant bucket list choices for this post. 

Budget

Have a romantic evening picnic
I'd love to take the time to sit around a lake eating a delicious picnic with 
champagne, strawberries and chocolate whilst watching the sunset.
Just knowing that we have each other and that life although short
is meant for times like this spending time with loved ones and cherishing 
every moment.  





Put together my own cookbook
I want to make my own cookbook 
filled with recipes passed on down from my family, 
frugal ones we have found, ones we do with our future children,
ones for each and every occasion in hope it will passed
down from generation to generation with love.




Extravagant

Dream Belated Honeymoon

Due to money problems me and my husband and have never had
a holiday away together. 
We have been married just a little over 17 months and our dream 
is to be able to have a holiday in Marrakech. 
If I was to win I would put the money towards a week away 
and  staying at the  Riu Tikida Garden
or something similar for our 2nd anniversary in February. 
I'd also need to use the money to get my passport
and to travel to the airport. 




Luxury Spa Weekend In London for 2

I'd love to spend a weekend at the The Mayfair Hotel 
In the Superior room which would cost £614.56 
for 2 nights which includes the following: 
- Full English Breakfast
- Free unlimited access to on-demand in-room entertainment package
-Gold Points Plus loyalty points
-Free extended late checkout until 4pm on Sunday and Bank Holiday Mondays.

I'd also add £127.25 of extras to the package
which would include: 
-6 chocolate dipped strawberries
-Fresh fruit bowl
- Dinner x 2. 

Of course there is no point of having a spa weekend without using spa treatments so 
I'd have the together treatment for £299.00 which includes: 

-Moroccan Steam Cleansing Ritual for two(45 min)
-Couples Massage(60 min)
- Afternoon tea for two

I picked some of their brand spanking new items from the cleaning range to review.

First up is the Deep Clean Brush Set, £6.
I chose these handy little brushes for helping me clean the grime from the tiles in my 
bathroom. Although toothbrushes can be a handy alternative,its not exactly hygienic. 
I am so glad I chose these handy little brushes, not only are they easy to grip 
they are the perfect size and angle for getting into them nasty grimy corners. 

The large brush is ideal for cleaning the grout out from around my taps and also for cleaning
 the stove. 
The small brush is ideal for cleaning in and around fixtures I used this one between 
the tiles in bathroom as it was the ideal size. The brush also has a handy wiper blade
which I used to clean around the plug hole. 

Second I chose the Electronics cleaning brush, £6.
This handy little brush has a slimline silicon wiper which helps remove dust from hard to reach places
I used this clean between my netbook's keys and it now looks so much more cleaner. 
The brush has a cap to protect the silicon wiper. At the other end you have a
a brush with soft bristles ,which is suitable for cleaning mobile phones and camera lenses.
I have used this end of the brush on my camera lens and it seems to have done the job. 

Last of all I chose the compact dustpan and brush set, £7. 
We have needed a dustpan and brush for awhile now but as we live in a small one bed
flat ,we couldn't find one that we would have room for that is until I spotted this one. 

The Brush fits perfectly in the dust pan for storage, keeping dirty bristles covered.
the dustpans flat bottom allows it to stand up making it easy to store on counter tops or shelves
but is also slim enough to fit in a draw. 

I really don't know what I have done without these products they are a life saver and I would
100% recommend them! So go on what are you waiting for find out
where your local stockist is.
