MONEY PIZZA RESPECT By Josh ‘The Fat Jew’ Ostrovsky Book Review

Posted on by

MONEY PIZZA RESPECT By Josh ‘The Fat Jew’ Ostrovsky

Social media superstar @thefatjew has written a searingly honest and completely hilarious autobiographical book. It is amusing and fun: full of hilarious stories and humorous pictures. Ever wanted to see the author in a beef jerky bikini? Of course you do. There may even be an inappropriate (accidental?) shot of the authors, ahem, testicles. There is also lots of drug taking so…don’t try this at home kids, or anywhere else. Just read about Josh Ostrovsky a.k.a. The Fat Jew doing it instead. That is the best way. This book will not be to everyone’s taste but the author has laid himself bare- literally and figuratively, and that is commendable. 

Money, Pizza, Respect is available here. Josh Ostrovsky a.k.a. The Fat Jew has written a book about himself. It will be the funniest book you will ever read.

Feeney’s Irish Cream Liqueur Review

Posted on by
FEENY'S BOTTLE HiRes 2Feeney’s Irish Cream is often referred to as ‘The World’s Most Luxurious Irish Cream Liqueur’. High praise indeed. But how true? Well, very. This is a smooth rich liqueur made with the freshest cream from Ireland which is then blended with the finest Irish Whisky. It is smooth with a rich buttery taste and a milky finish. It is fresh as Feeney’s proudly states that it gets from dairy to distillery in 24 hours on its bottle. Blended and bottled in the Irish countryside in Abbeyleix, County Laois; It is stylish and can give any other Irish Cream Liqueur a run for its money. Delicious and prefect for Christmas.
 Feeney’s Irish Cream is available from Tesco stores and tesco.com

Leef iBridge Review | The Perfect Gift For Christmas

Posted on by

Leef iBridge Review The Perfect Gift For ChristmasNot many products actually make a huge difference to your life, but ever since the Leef iBridge arrived I have been singing its praises. In fact, I have even bought some for relatives, that is how amazing it is.

So, I hear you ask: what is it? The Leef iBridge is a compact and convenient must-have for all Apple users, featuring a lightning connector at one end and a standard USB connector on the other. Users can also take photos and videos directly to the iBridge, bypassing their Apple device’s internal memory altogether.

Before this arrived my iPhone was struggling and I could not take any more pictures as I had no memory. My son is not even a year old and I have thousands of pictures and videos of him. I could not even access Twitter or Whatsapp. Enter Leaf iBridge. It can bypass the internal memory of the iPhone so you never have to see the ‘memory full’ pop-up message ever again. It backs-up your iPhone AND it makes it easy to transfer your files to your computer. Or any other computer for that matter. It can also be used on an iPad and an android version is available. I did have to delete some pictures to download the app which goes with the iBridge but it was not a big hassle. I am obsessed with this and have already bought some for other people. I reckon I might even buy another for myself. LOVE.

–    Ideal for… anyone with a full to capacity iPhone – Instagram addicts, commuters or holidaymakers.
–    Device in 10 words: Never see the dreaded ‘memory full’ pop-up ever again
–    Price: starts at £69.99 for 32GB (64, 128 and 256GB also available)
–    Available to purchase: From Leefco.com, Amazon.co.uk, CarphoneWarehouse.com, Argos.com and TescoDirect.com

Leef iBridge Review

Android compatible devices are also available – the Leef Bridge 3.0 and Leef Access are available to purchase from Leefco.com and Amazon.co.uk.
