Our Desk Safari Pics

Posted on by Abi

Do you ever find yourself bored of an afternoon? Or catch yourself staring out of the window at the drab British weather and wish you were anywhere but here? Then perhaps you’ll enjoy the phenomenon that is Desk Safari! The craze was born out of bored office workers taking comical photos of colleagues that appeared to combine their heads with the bodies of tropical animals.

It’s a ridiculously fun way to waste some time that is sure to bring hilarity to all those who take part. Once I heard that there was a competition over at theimum.com  I knew I had to have a go, aided not by pictures of animals I found on Google but my obliging (read bribed with treats) pets. In fact we had so much fun that I have a few Desk Safari pics, I’ll start with my personal favourite that sees my pet Dalmatian combined with our resident Crow!

It’s no mean feat lining up a Dalmatian to take a comical photograph so I’m quite proud of this one. In fact getting the photo of a fast flying crow was rather difficult too!

Next we flipped the traditional desk safari pictures on their head by combining my dogs head with my daughters body!

Makes me giggle everytime I look at it!

Finally I thought I better have a go and combined myself with Mr Dog.

We had so much fun taking these pictures but it’s surprisingly hard to line yourself up perfectly 🙂 Especially when you have a photobombing dog roaming around who just loves to make you laugh mid take, see this blooper photo!dogphotobomb

Smile Brilliant LED Teeth Whitening Kit Review and Giveaway!

Posted on by Abi

led-teeth-whiteningBright white teeth are often seen as a sign of health and beauty but for some people it’s a dream that stays illusive. Years of coffee, wine or tea drinking take their toll on our teeth and before long our pearly whites are covered with yellow stains. Smile Brilliant believe that they have the answer with their LED Teeth Whitening Kit and today I’m not only reviewing one, I’m giving one away to one lucky reader!

Clean white teeth are a particular bugbear of mine and I try to take good care of my own so while I did try out the LED kit I didn’t find it made a massive difference, however I think this is largely due to years of prodigious care on my part. However my husband on the other hand is a whole different story. In his youth he was guilty of some tooth related neglect and along with a habit of smoking cigarettes his teeth became quite stained. While he quit smoking years ago the stains remained, we tried whitening tooth pastes…. nothing! We tried tooth whitening kits…. teeny tiny improvement that quickly faded. We were out of options!

I handed him the Smile Brilliant LED kit and within one use his teeth were looking significantly better, still somewhat yellow but definitely the cleanest I remember them. Within two uses we were starting to get really impressed, finally something was making a difference!

Is the Kit easy to use?

Very easy. All you do is paint some whitening solution (provided in pen form) onto your teeth, pop in a tooth guard and hold the special LED light against the guard. Then sit back and wait 20-45 minutes per session. I have to admit the only arduous part of using the kit is the waiting, speaking is definitely a no no.

Would I recommend the kit?

Yes I think it’s definitely worth a try, however it’s important to note that no tooth whitening system can whiten beyond an individuals own natural shade of enamel, so don’t expect a smile that will reflect off the sun.

The competition

Why take my word for it though, why not try out the Smile Brilliant LED Teeth Whitening kit for yourself with our brilliant new competition. Smile Brilliant have offered one of my readers a full kit delivered direct to your home worth $69.95!

Serenata Flowers Review and Giveaway

Posted on by Abi

Spring is in the air and with Mother’s Day fast approaching it’s perfect timing for today’s Serenata Flowers review and giveaway!

Flowers are beautiful in all shapes and sizes and there’s no denying that they can inject colour and joy into a room just by their presence. However buying a large and beautifully arranged bouquet can cost a pretty penny, especially if you purchase from one of the large well known florists. Serenata Flowers offers courier delivery of large bouquets which cut out the middleman thereby saving you money, but can it really deliver the same standards of service and quality?Ianthe

I asked Serenata to send me the brand new Ianthe Bouquet. Ianthe means purple flower and this bouquet is awash with them, accented by pure white roses.

The flowers were dispatched the same day and arrived promptly the next in a large cardboard box, supported by a stake to keep them upright.IMG_6868

Presentation

The bouquet was a hand-tied arrangement which meant there was no presenting skills required, I simply had to cut the stems and place them into a vase. Did they look like the online photo?IMG_6876

Bearing in mind the angle I took this photo from missed out a couple of the roses I think they were very close to the online picture. My particular vase also splayed the bouquet further outwards creating a slightly different shape.IMG_6880

Longevity

Cut flowers unfortunately never last long, however when you’re spending out considerable money I think it’s safe to assume we’d all like at least one weeks enjoyment from our bouquets. Here is my Ianthe bouquet on day 8.IMG_6890Hardly any noticeable difference to when they arrived!

In total I got over two weeks enjoyment from my flowers. The roses were the first to die away but it all lasted very well indeed.

Would I recommend the Ianthe bouquet and Serenata Flowers?

Definitely! I’ve been disappointed by other florists in the past but I thoroughly enjoyed my flowers from Serenata, delivery was swift, the flowers beautiful and they lasted and lasted.

Giveaway!!

Don’t just take my word for it though, if you’d like to receive your very own bouquet from Serenata worth up to £35 then enter my brand new giveaway now.
