Refreshing coconut and mango smoothie | Recipe

by StaceyUpdated on July 3, 2017November 11, 2016

I know it’s kind of not exactly the weather for smoothies any more, but that doesn’t stop Jacob asking for them! So I thought a smoothie would be the perfect first recipe to try in the High Power Blender that I have been sent from the Panasonic Kitchen. The great thing about this coconut and mango smoothie recipe in this blender is that you can just chuck all the ingredients in, press the smoothie programme, and off you go. No need to pulse or anything to break ingredients up, as it does it all for you. Coconut milk is a perfect …

Slimming World weigh in – the one with the lowest, again…

by Stacey November 10, 2016November 10, 2016

It kind of happened, as I did start writing a meal plan; but I only managed to put 3 things on it and it’s still sat on my kitchen counter. Oops. Anyway, I did manage to stay on plan all week, even at the weekend for Bonfire Night. We went to a display but we ate before we left, so I …

October Degustabox | Subscription Box Review

by StaceyUpdated on November 7, 2016November 7, 2016

It’s always an exciting day when I know our Degustabox is on its way. I love opening it up and seeing what’s inside. There hasn’t really been any that I’ve been disappointed in; I think there has only been 2 or 3 products over the last few months that I haven’t particularly liked. So for the amount you get in each Degustabox, I think that’s pretty good going! Enjoy 10 to 15 surprise products, many are completely new to the market! Receive your Degustabox every month filled with goodies. All for much less than you would pay in the shops! So what …

by StaceyUpdated on April 3, 2017November 7, 2016

You may remember a few months ago I announced that I was a Panasonic Kitchen ambassador for the coming year. The first product I reviewed was the Panasonic Steam Combi Oven. I also shared this coconut coffee triple layer cake that I baked in it. The latest product I have received from the Panasonic kitchen is the High Power Blender MX-ZX1800SXC – which also boasts the functions of a food processor! Feed your culinary imagination with the High Power Blender, the latest in fresh food preparation and kitchen convenience. Boasting a wide range of programmes and easy-to-use features, the blender transforms fresh and healthy ingredients into …

The Wicked Uncle toy challenge | Review

by StaceyUpdated on May 23, 2018November 5, 2016

A few weeks ago we were contacted by the awesome guys at Wicked Uncle to see if the boys had an actual real life uncle who would be willing to take on the Wicked Uncle challenge. There was only one other requirement – the uncle had to have no children of his own. The boys have two uncles, and one has a daughter, so that left the other one! We will call him Uncle Wayne. (As we do in the video anyway!) We are the home of Brilliant Childrens’ Presents. So if there is someone out there who deserves a fun present …
