ZOKU Slush and Shake Maker

I was recently sent a ZOKU Slush and Shake Maker to try out and review. Well, it was an instant hit and has become the new favourite “gadget” in our house ~ my girls are fighting over who gets to use it next!

The ZOKU Slush and Shake Maker helps you creates healthy slushies, fruit smoothies and decadent milkshakes in only 7 minutes! The best part it is uses no electricity.

Whether you are wanting to create a healthy smoothie to enjoy in the morning for breakfast or a frozen cocktail for a summer dinner party, it could not be easier!

The ZOKU Slush and Shake Maker is so easy to use! It is designed to store easily in your freezer, so it is always ready to use. To use, remove the frozen inner core from the freezer and place it into the outer sleeve, pour in your ingredients, mix & scrape the cup with the spoon, which is included and watch as the slush freezes before your eyes!

Along with the ZOKU Slush and Shake Maker I received a recipe book, “The Art of Slush”, which has a wonderful array of stunning recipes, to help inspire you with your Slush and Shake Creations!

The Slush and Shake Maker is available in 5 bright colors, which are available at Boardmans, @Home, Wellness Warehouse, ToyZone and online at Yuppiechef.co.za for R250 each.

Cinderella’s Secrets

I was recenlty sent a hamper from Cinderella’s Secret to review. Their extensive range of beauty and pamper products are aimed at making each woman feel like the princess she really is!

I thought I would share the range of products I received with you:

Chocolate Face Mask

As you know I love trying out and reviewing face masks, my favourite masks are usually clay based but I am always keen to try something different! This mask smells and looks exactly like chocolate mousse and that is exactly what it feels like on your skin. It does not dry or set on your face, so I would classify this as a purely hydrating mask. It smells lovely and leaves your skin feeling soft and smooth.

Love Potion Body Scrub

I have loved using this scrub! I usually use a body scrub once or twice a week when I shower but I really do not like scrubs, which leave your skin feeling sticky after applying them. The Love Potion scrub has a creamy texture and contains a fine exfoliant and it is not too abrasive. It leaves your skin feeling refreshed and hydrated. It has a delicate fragrance, which I really prefer in a scrub and is not at all astringent.

Country Garden Body Butter

I do prefer using a body butter as opposed to a body lotion, especially after shaving my legs, as the thicker texture is way more nourishing for your skin. The Country Garden Butter also has a delicate feminine fragrance and although I loved the creamy texture when applied, I did find that my skin felt a bit sticky as the day wore on. I think this would be a great product to use at night, before bed and after a long soak in the bath!

Country Garden Liquid Bath Milk

I am usually a bubble bath gal but I have really enjoyed using this Liquid Bath Milk! It really softens the bath water and smells heavenly. Definitely one of my favourite products out of the range I tried.

Love Potion Bath Mouse

I must be honest I have only tried this product once. I do not bath that often – I prefer to shower, simply because it’s quicker but I did enjoy the way my skin felt after using it.

Natural Soaps

I also received two natural soaps which also smell great and I love the fact that they are natural! My favourite is the Goats Milk & Honey!

You can contact Cinderella’s Secret or place orders via email [email protected] or on their Facebook Page.

SodaStream Source

SodaStream recently sent me their latest machine to review. I am sure many of you will remember the old-school, brown SodaStream machine, well those are no longer.

Naturals Beauty Teen Range

I have blogged about the amazing Naturals Beauty range before and today I am sharing a review on their Teen Range. Many of you may not have teens yet but my eldest daughter is 12 years old and although not technically a “teenager” very much in need of good skin care! I have encouraged both my girls, from a young age, to look after their skin – it is after all the only one we have!

Puberty can play havoc with your skin and following a proper, daily skin care routine is vital, to keep those nasty spots a bay. We recently received this wonderful range of products, from the Naturals Beauty Teen Range, for my daughter to try out and here are her thoughts:

Teen Face Wash with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“I found this cleanser very gentle on my skin, which is good because I have very sensitive skin! I used it twice a day, once in the morning and again in the evening to wash my face. I really liked using it as my skin felt clean but not dry.”

The antibacterial & anti-inflammatory properties in the essential oils of Blue Mountain Sage, Buchu, Cinnamon and Tea Tree, gently deep cleanse the skin, removing the bacteria that cause acne and spots. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness.

Teen Facial Moisturiser with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“This moisturiser is great and did not leave my skin feeling greasy. My skin tends to be quite dry but does get very oily after a long day at school, especially if I am playing sport, so this definitely worked for me. I also used the moisturiser twice a day after cleansing my face.”

The Teen Facial Moisturiser contains essential oils, with antibacterial properties to help absorb excess oil and to help eliminate the acne causing bacteria. Vitamins A, E and B, found in avocado oil, will help nourish, heal and protect the skin, without making the face look or feel shiny or oily. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness. Rooibos extract will soothe irritated skin.

Teen Spot Treatment with Blue Mountain Sage + Buchu

“The Spot Treatment is amazing and works very quickly. What I liked about it, is that it is very gentle on your skin, other spot treatments can dry your skin out but this does not! All you need to do is put a tiny amount on the spot after you have washed you face and it works like magic, taking away any redness from the spot. The only problem I have is my mom likes it too so she is always taking it and using it herself! :)”

A gentle treatment with natural ingredients to eliminate and treat acne spots. Use as often as required. Antibacterial & anti-inflammatory properties in the essential oils of Blue Mountain Sage, Buchu, Cinnamon and Tea Tree, will help to remove the bacteria that cause acne and spots. Blue Mountain Sage contains bisabolol which will help reduce redness.
