I’ve used a few Magnitone products including the wipeout makeup removing clothes and Xoxo soft-touch Micro-sonic cleansing brush. I would definitely recommend trying their products.
Internal Youth BOOST
Innovative. High Strength. Effective.
Boost is a unique wellbeing supplement formed with ingredients among the most powerful and research-backed in Ayurveda. It’s simple, Boost’s aim is to make you feel at your best physically and mentally.
It’s a concentrated liquid turmeric extract which gets into your system and takes effect quicker than many other forms of turmeric, e.g. capsules.
In addition to the incredible, well-documented benefits Turmeric has on pain relief and inflammation, we combined this with Ashwagandha and Holy Basil to maximise those benefits, but also to give the great ADDED VALUE of helping deal with stress and anxiety.
Vouchers
If in doubt check out your local restaurants and if there is anything you can buy on Groupon. It’s quick and easy, you don’t even need a printer. We love doing this for my Grandma and Grandad as it gives them an excuse to have a date night and get out of the house. Sometimes there are deals on that we buy for ourselves too. I love saving money, so, I use Topcashback then you can get some extra cash back for yourself. I’ve used that for a couple of years now and saved over £550.
Traveller gift *
Something for the winter sun catcher. there is nothing worse than getting bitten when you’re on holiday. Trust me, mozzies love to eat me alive.
Mozzies and little biting insects… they’re universally unpopular and guaranteed to put a dampener on things when you’re outside, with their dive-bombing and blood-sucking antics. So whether you’re backpacking through South America, honeymooning in Asia, out for a run or just barbecuing in your back garden – make sure you’re armed with Zap-It!
Zap-It! can be used as and when required by all the family, but not on babies under 4 years of age. Each Zap-It! will relieve up to 1,000 bites – enough for many years of bites or itches!
Zap-It! is available from selected health stores, pharmacies, garden centres, all Asda shops and Superdrug, and retails from £5.95. Zap-It! is also available online from www.amazon.co.uk
( Press Release information) I can’t wait to test it out as the mozzies love to bite me!

The candle smells insane. I absolutely love the mixture of essential oils it smells like you could like lie bac and relax whilst enjoying the flame lighting up your bathroom or bedroom. Remember a candle snot just for the bathroom why not move it with you around the house for your own comfort. I also like how its a 100% plant based candle so it doesn’t give off any bad chemicals in the house, which is perfect if you are pregnant.
Homemade Gifts
Coconut and Raspberry Jam cake – who doesn’t appreciate an old-time favourite? I made this one last Sunday and shared it with my nearest and dearest Friends and Family.
My friend Emily told me about this idea and I think its such a great one. who says you have to go out and buy gifts. what about making homemade fudge? A cake? cookies? Make someone’s favourite treats because let’s be honest, homemade cooking is the BEST.
Sharing ideas
My friend Lauren made me such a thoughtful gift with loads of amazing quotes in a jar. This had such a great impact on my mental health. She personalised a jar with things I liked and added a couple of treats, from moisturiser, face mask and lip-balms.
My friend Jimmy made a honey body scrub which was amazing it had coconut oil, sugar and honey in I’m not 100% if there was also some essential oils in. But it’s so easy to make these beautiful gifts and they are healthier for your skin as its all-natural ingredients without the price tag.
Thanks for reading,
