Snog South Kensington | Food Review

I was late to the snog party. They have been around for a while and I always wanted to get one. I shouldn’t have left it so long as they are delicious. They are also organic, made with British ingredients, have no fat, no artificial ingredients and they are low in calories. They taste amazing and the only low points is how long it takes to choose which one you want and the price. They are also low GI as they are sweetened with agave nectar.

You pick a frozen yogurt flavour; strawberry, chocolate or natural. You then choose a topping and there is a lot to choose from; oreo cookies, blueberry and marshmallows are what we had on our chocolate and strawberry yogurts, but you could also have almond, raspberry, (white and milk) chocolate, banana, mango, granola….

They are healthy and delcious, I loved Snog and will be going back.

snog, yogurt, frozer, south kensington, review,
Price: Over £10 for two yogurts? High. To be fair, prices vary, you could get a small one or a large one with only one topping. The above is a medium with two toppings, and a large with one. Prices start at £2.85 and depend on how many toppings you go for and whether you think someone might want to share your Snog.

Zoola Cat Ring Jewellery Holder | Home

Designed for Umbra by Alan Wisniewski, this chrome plated cat is now one of my favourite things. It may just be a ring holder but it makes me smile every time I look at it. Perfect so you don’t lose your ring or just as a decorative piece. Size is 2 3/4 x 1 x 2 3/4″ (7 x 3 x 7 cm)

The holder can hold a lot of rings on its super long tail and is well designed. It is good quality and just incredibly cute.

Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde | Theatre Review

Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde, theatre, theatre review, west endAs I entered the Leicester Square Theatre to review the West End Premiere of Brother Wolf’s new award-winning one-man show, ‘Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde’, ahead of its nationwide tour I remembered that the story was a horror. I then noticed their were children in the audience so I thought it would not be scary, how wrong was I. Impressively adapted, produced and performed by James Hyland, Hyland is a one man tour de force. He is great as Dr Jekyll and his evil side, Mr Hyde. This play is worth seeing for his performance alone.

Strange Case Of Dr Jekyll & Mr Hyde is not easy viewing. In fact, people even screamed in the audience. It is gruesome, scary and at some points downright uncomfortable, but it is a great piece of theatre. It shows what can be done with a one man show.The tale is an old, classic one and most people know of it and how it ends. This does not ruin the show though, Hyland playing the many characters does so with believability, talent and truthfulness. It is just Hyland and a podium on the stage but he manages to carry the entire show with ease.

As I mentioned before, there were children in the audience. I would not recommend this show for a child. I was quite uneasy at points and my companion thought it was scary.

Scary it may be but it is also brilliant and James Hyland is a superb actor. Go and see.

Based on the novella by Robert Louis Stevenson
Presented in association with Harrogate Theatre
Adapted, Produced and Performed by James Hyland
Directed by Phil Lowe

Handpicked Media London Fashion Week Suite SS14 | Fashion

The Handpicked Media London Fashion Week suite was as amazing as ever. As well as lots of lovely people I also got pampered and checked out some great brands.

I had my brows done by HD Brows, they looked so good afterwards I didn’t want to wash my face. Ever. I tried on some jackets from Superdry. Their tailoring is amazing and their jackets are such good quality. Superdry also have great Bento Beauty boxes. They have some great products in them and look cool.

I also had my make up done by Martin Carter. The Stila make up artist used some amazing Stila products on me, including the CC Cream which comes out blue, but looks great on. I love Stila and Martin taught me some amazing make up tricks such as; put eyeliner in between the upper lash line for a natural, defined look and to paint mascara on the bottom lashes with a brush rather than applying the mascara directly. I wish I looked how Martin made me look 24/7.

I also had a hot stone massage and a hand massage from The Mandara Spa. I am completely converted to hot stone massage now. My spine and hands were never so happy. I felt completely relaxed and happy. I highly recommend them.

I also had a bra fitting thanks to Freya lingerie. Like most women I found out I was wearing the wrong size. Apparently women think their back is larger than it is, this turned out to be true for me as I thought I was a 34D but am actually a 30DD. I love my Freya Lingerie, below.

I had a relaxing manicure. I always love getting manicures. When my nails look good and are painted just looking at them makes me happy, even if I am having a bad day. WAH nails gave me some great blue polka dot nails. I love them.

Legendary hair dresser Errol Douglas was also doing hair. My fellow bloggers/writers were walking out with amazing hair styles. Unfortunately I had to head off to a show so couldn’t get one myself.

I managed to pick up some products in the suite at One Aldwych Hotel and will be reviewing them in the coming months.

Well done Handpicked Media, see you in six months.

Do you want to try any of the above? Which one?

Marionette Tea Infuser | Gadget Review

Out of all of the things we have been sent to review, this tea infuser certainly is one of the most original. You bob and duck it into your tea to infuse it. Every time is like a puppet show. It works well, is easy to use and puts a smile on the face every time.

Great design from Umbra and well made. This is a brilliant gadget. It is also BPA free too. Full marks all round. A great addition to any kitchen; Umbra Tea Infuser Tea Strainer
