Merry Christmas 2015

Have you been good this year?

Hey guys and girls so I turned 25 on the 14th december feeling rather old suffering bad knees and all sorts anyway xmas is now fast approaching, So I would like to write a post incase I am not back before new year's eve.

So christmas is a time for giving and spending with loved ones, so many people though are lonely and maybe spending it alone, so would like to remind you that it is the season to give so why not see if any of your friends who are single etc or even a elderly neighbor who might not have not much family want to come for dinner.

Also if you are lonely this christmas please reach out to those around you there are many charities that can help also many churches and places also help people who might feel lonely, remember you don not have to be a single person with no family to be lonely even people with loads of family can become lonely. 

Here are a few charities who can help.

The event clashed with my plans for my kew gardens trip however the company was overjoyed,
when I said Sorry i can't make it but I will still go ahead and research your brand,
and tell all my lovely readers about your company and what you sell.

Because most events come with goody bags they have been kind to send me one,

to say thank you for been kind to still write about their company,

even though not being able to attend their event.

but have been sent images from the event to show you.

Photos of the event I sadly couldn't Attend.

HANDBAGS

Well what can i say who does not like a handbag, from a handbag for shopping.

to the handbag for work to the handbag for weekends and so on.

A lot of people have a lot of bags not only women men too.

Because bags hold our life in them from photos to keys to our phone,

and even laptops and whatever else we like to hide in our bags.

bags not are only great for holding stuff they also great for matching with outfits,

Again can make or break an outfit if you're really ocd about fashion and all that.

You know me though I like to mix and match as long as i think it looks good it looks good.

MY REVIEW

Thoughts about the product before it arrived.

well being ocd and loving bleaching door handles, floors and cleaning the worktops over 30 times a day I do love to clean and it is my escape from depression and over thinking.

anyway my first thoughts about the product was omg its not gonna be as good as my products I own ie beach and touch grease cleaners, I guess i was a bit skeptic cos it is a natural cleaner I get paranoid about germs at the best of times.

First impressions when it arrived.

just like chloe's expression here i was still abit skeptical.

Wow this looks great, great size product and feels heavy for a product of its size.

I was still a bit skeptic about how this product could clean as well as other products I own.

I opened it had a whiff not to bad smell smells a bit citrusy and another smell I can't place my finger on so not a bad smell at all nothing too strong like what I own, so again still a bit worried to how this was gonna clean anything as well as bleach.

First impression on first time using it.

just like chloe's expression here i was overjoyed.

Wow I wish i had of got a photo I had this weird sticker residue stuck to my window

which bleach washing up liquid etc couldn't get rid of so we left it there on the window.

So anyway we placed a little bit of the eco egg hard surface cleaner on the dampened sponge and wiped over in a circular motion and off came the sticker residue I couldn't believe my eyes at all hubby was in shock and was like how? wow this is good stuff.

Overall Verdict

Well From the first time using it it had me and hubby in disbelief to how it could get rid of stubborn sticker residue on the window when more powerful cleaners couldn't.

I love the scent of the product which is not lethal like 95% of the products on the market.

I Also love the fact that you only need a small amount which gets rid of stubborn dirt,

meaning the product lasts longer than most products we all own meaning it is not only good for your health with being a natural cleaner it is good for your pocket too saving you money not only because it lasts ages but because it works too.

I am not sure what else to say other then I am still in shock to how it works,

really well compared to strong more expressive products I own.

the eco egg hard surface cleaner is £9.99 to buy from eco egg.

( hard surface cleaner was once on qvc and sold out on the first couple of airings)

Before you go ahead and buy don't tell anyone I told you.

There will be a offer on on the 5th of december,  stay tuned on eco egg site to find out more about the huge deal on all the products on their site they have coming up.

I wouldn't want you to miss out on it.
