Aloree Chlorocosmetic Life Resource Radiant Mask Review


I recently spoke to one of my beauty pals who works in the industry, about products she can't live without, that she loves and would recommend in a heartbeat.... Aloree Chloro Vitae Masque was her pick, and she had some samples in her work box to give to clients! ( Lucky me! ) 

She explained that it this product is a clever, multifunction beauty mask, which purifies and brightens your complexion. it's packed with anti-oxidants, to make your skin feel replenished and revived. This treatment regenerates and detoxifies, leaving you with a smooth and glowing complexion, my skin felt so amazing after I'd used it.  

It looks like something that you'd fine in a story book but it's a  beauty product…its shimmering texture turns into a fluid when it comes into contact with water.


Results: a healthy and younger looking skin, moisturized and plumped up. A smooth, bright and glowing complexion. It also won the Beauty Organic Award 2011. My skin felt amazing after using it, I would love to try more of their products but they seem quite tricky to get hold of in the UK, but I'm going to keep looking, and speak to my friend Laura who lives in Paris, as she is in the know with all things beauty- I will report back soon!
 
Incase you were wondering what the active ingredients are to cause that amazing glow and sparkle they are :  Chlorophyll from young barley shoots, polyphenols, vitamin E : anti-oxidant and oxygenating and Moisturizing and regenerating complex of vegetable oils : grape, olive and sunflower seeds

GRAZE.COM | GOODY BOX For Children Review

 Finally... a Healthy, Fun snack for kids!


I just wanted to share the boys new love for the Graze.com's Goodybox for Kids! Seth and Opeie absolutely love it when they drop through the letter box! They are so good due to introducing the boys to things we don't tend to buy like different types of salsas, chutneys, dried mango and lots of lovely other bits.

Seth for example, always says he 'doesn't like' dried Coconut, but because of the fun packaging and quirky game inside he didn't even question what was in it, just munched it all down.

Opeie also loved the things he had, the dried fruit, cherries, pineapple and mango especially.

If you're travelling alot, out for the day or just want to give your children more interesting snacks, which are healthy , hip and fun, which they'll love, try them! You can pick pick how often they arrive weather it's daily, weekly , monthly etc, and which things you'd like and which items you would like to try, or don't want at all.

I want to try the adult ones, more of the children's ones for the boys, and the breakfast boxes!

Thanks Graze.Com for being so helpful- the boys love them , and as a Moma, I can pick which things I am happy for them to have lots of a little of.

( Some of the snacks have dairy/eggs etc in but the great thing is, you can opt out of them! Happy Days! )





---- I ordered and purchased the Graze boxes from Graze.Com for my children to enjoy, I haven't been paid etc , I just love sharing my favorite things with you! ---

Goodlife Spicy Lentil Vegetable Wedge Review ( Vegan Soya Gluten Free )

I've been Vegan ( without soya) for three years now, I'd been vegetarian since I was age 4, but due to being in & out of hospital for over a year , admitted to hospital over 23 times & having had a awful time, I then had my son , and started breast feeding .

Well , it turned out our little man was allergic to dairy , eggs & soya . Since I'd not eaten for almost 10 months due to having a really bad reaction to pregnancy known as hyperemisis , and other things , I was thrilled to be eating properly again .... THAT lasted 2 weeks . Then we found out our baby had the allergies.

I became vegan in a day , and life got very frustrating .

The other day we visited wholefoods market in Cheltenham to stock up on essentials for a healthy vegan life . ( I wrote a review here)

A few of the things I tried I loved, and a few I hated , but I'll get to that in another post .

What I wanted to concentrate on in this post was talking about / reviewing the Goodlife , which I really love!

They are so delicious & tick all the boxes for me . Here is a breakdown of the ingredients & nutritional info : ( I've been worried I'm not getting enough proteins / fermented foods so this meal was great as a quick lunch )

The thing I liked best was the mango purée, of which I am a huge fan of, it wasn't mixed into the rest of the mix inside , it was almost like a little parcel of sauce which oozed out when you cut into it , totally lush & unexpected .Ingredients list : Chickpeas, wheatflour, tomato, mango purée (11%), onion, puy lentils (7%), rapeseed oil, water, dried potato, coriander, petits pois (4%), spinach (2%), tomato purée, cornflour, onion powder, salt, cumin, garlic purée, garlic powder, nigella seeds, yeast, turmeric, black pepper, chilli powder, yeast extract, allspice, cardamom, nutmeg, ginger, bay, clove, cassia, cayenne pepper.

Price I would score these 4/5
Taste I would score these 5/5
Cooking ease score : 5/5
Suitable for little mouths : Yes ( not too spicey)

(Nutricanal Info: 244kCals, 6.9g Protein, 8.1g (0.7g saturates) 7.3g Fiber 0.7g Salt)

They are so great for a quick meal , they're not organic, but they contain no baddies really and they're gluten free.

I had my Goodlife  Spicy Lentil & Vegetable Wedge with Salad, peppers, Vegusto mild Aramaic dairy / soya vegan cheese , Raw Vibrant Living sauerkraut ,lemon & coriander houmous and lightly drizzled it in wholefoods fresh & wild omega 3,6,9 oil .
