Young Mobile UK
Monday, 22 December 2014
I received a Vodafone R207 MiFi dongle and a Vodafone Smart 4 Turbo smartphone from Young Mobile . I'm so used to my iPhone 5 it was strange at first. But once I got the hang of the Vodafone Smart 4 I couldn't put it down. I got so used to easily pressing the back button that when I went back onto my iPhone I'd be tapping at a blank part of the screen next to the home button... I got spotify premium for a month and honestly, I've never listened to so much music in that amount of time. When you go back to the free version you realise how good and worth it it is to buy premium. The phone itself is good, I like how the back camera is positioned in the middle of the phone. However the quality of the camera isn't great and one of the main things I use my phone for is the camera. I like the ways the phone can be unlocked (weird, I know). At one point I set it to face unlock where the face camera opens and all you have to do is hold it up to your face and you're in.
These tags come with the phone, it's such a good idea. You can set them to activate anything you wish. All you have to do is put the phone onto the tag at it activates which ever mode you've set it to.
The wifi dongle is so helpful, I basically brought it with me everywhere. Dongles basically create a Wifi hotspot wherever you are, it's very simple to set up and use. Once it's up and running, multiple devices can connect to the wifi. My nan doesn't have wifi at her home so this was a life saver haha. I recommend following +YoungMobileUK as they're always doing competitions to win products! I won a pocketboom wireless speaker - it's small I was surprised how loud that thing can go..

Trinite Village
Sunday, 21 December 2014
What's a bath without a bath bomb? The only bath products I've used is Lush, that is until Trinite Village sent me these awesome bath bombs and soaps - or in the words of Trinite Village 'Whoopie Blasters' and 'Bath Mallows'. How pretty are they all though?? I couldn't wait to run a hot bath and try them out!
The pink soap smells amazing and is currently sitting beside my sink. It looks so pretty and most importantly it does its job. It doesn't feel harsh on the skin which is important to me as I have sensitive skin. All of the soaps on Trinite Village look so pretty, I just want them all..
The blue soap has an amazing colour! I'm not too keen on the smell. I was expecting it to smell like apples or something fruity - it smells soapy more than anything. It smells like something my nan would use but in saying that it makes it a good present. It's just not for me.
'Spoiled Pretty' bath mallow (the pink one) smelt sooooooooo good - raspberries! The way it fizzed in the bath was awesome too, afterwards the bath was a light pink and I noticed the white flower floating around for a while haha. It contains cocoa and shea butters, pure geranium and vetiver essential oils which they claim to 'relax' and 'balance' you, which I found to be true. It's worth taking a look at the rest of the bath mallows on the site, they're all so pretty.
My favourite was the chocolate/coffee 'whoopie blaster' - I'm not sure what the actual scent was but that's what I smelt. The smell was so much stronger than the bath mallow it smelt incredible. The sprinkles made the bath look like it was sparkling. I love the shape of the 'whoopie blasters'.

Arm The Animals
Thursday, 30 October 2014
Arm The Animals is an amazing charity who aim to raise awareness and generate funds for small, struggling animal rescues. I love animals and to find a charity that help them instantly intrigues me. Come on, it involves animals! How could you not help out?! ATA creates t-shirts with awesome graphics of animals, most of them armed with a weapon which I think looks awesome. All you have to do is buy a shirt and in doing so you're helping out animals in need, how much easier could it be?!
I'm in love with the shirt I received. It fits really nice and promotes the whole 'Arm The Animals' scheme well
ATA kindly sent me an awesome shirt to review and I've been so excited to talk about it and let you guys know about ATA's amazing work. I found it hard to decide which design to go for because they're all genius. If I could have them all, I would! I finally settled for the 'King Of The Jungle' top. Slightly less 'inappropriate' for college. I wanted one that I could wear to college so I could tell people about ATA. Even if you don't buy a shirt, you should definitely raise awareness for this charity and share this blog post.
I'm in love with the shirt I received. It fits really nice and promotes the whole 'Arm The Animals' scheme well
I wish I took better photos but I didn't get time and I was waaay too eager to talk about ATA. I hope you guys check it out, it's an amazing charitable clothing company.
Your Dreamcatcher
Sunday, 21 September 2014
Your Dreamcatcher kindly sent me a pair of their jogging bottoms to review. I had to pick them up from the post office because the parcel was too big to fit in my letter box, we were on our way to Ikea so I wasn't able to try them on until we got home. Inside the parcel there was a small card with the logo on one side and the words 'A winner is a dreamer who never gives up. Nelson Mandela' on the other which I thought was nice, the message was rather motivating.
The joggers themselves are grey and the insides are a soft sort of fleece material which makes them perfect for lounging around in during the winter. The inside material does moult a little, I found bits of grey felt fibre on my leg but this isn't really a major problem, I mean it's probably because they haven't been washed yet. The amount of clothes that do this though, you kind of expect it. It's worth it though because they're lovely and soft.
I really love the logo, it's the perfect size and I think it looks pretty. I love the feathers and the alternating colours. I got a size 10 because I wanted them to be slightly baggy, I love the way they fit. The cuffed ankles aren't tight at all. I think they'd be better with an elastic waist because I find that I have to tie the string quite tight to keep them up but then again it's probably because I got a bigger size. A few pockets would be handy too but all in all I am really happy with the jogging bottoms I received and I would definitely recommend them to you! You can get yours on Your Dreamcatcher for £27.99, they also sell tops and jewellery.
