Top Pick For Christmas: VTech Myla The Blush And Bloom Unicorn

Posted on by

We cannot get over how gorgeous Myla, the blush and bloom unicorn is. She is the perfect, interactive, toy from leading children’s toy brand Vtech. Gorgeous, fun, and excellent for development. We cannot recommend this fantastic toy enough. It is our top pick for Christmas.

Leading electronic toy brand, VTech, is excited to announce that Myla – the much loved Unicorn – is getting a makeover. Introducing, Myla the Blush and Bloom Unicorn.  

Myla lush and bloom unicorn, toys, toy, tech

Little ones can now take Myla to a make-believe hair salon with a beautiful array of stylish hair options. From giving her a simply brush with a comb, to unlocking her full potential with a stupendous selection of clips – Myla is getting ready for her festive debut. 

Most notably, Myla has a magical wand that allows children the opportunity to express their full fashionista. By selecting any colour on the wand, you’ll be able to apply a sprinkle of colour to her horn, eyes and wings before watching in amazement as they magically light up in the chosen colour. She’ll also light up if you blow her a kiss! 

Myla can also bring a sparkle of magic to your play-area, with wings that flap in time with the music she plays. And when it all get’s a little much, Myla will also tuck her legs under and have a nap – encouraging little ones to think creatively about dreamtime. 

RRP: £55.50 | Available from: Smyths Toys Superstores / Amazon / ToyStreet

FROST’S FAVOURITE: DEALS FOR THE ULTIMATE BRIDE-BOD

Posted on by

It’s classed as one of the most stressful times for women and, let’s face it, we can all see why. With all eyes on the bride (sorry to the grooms out there), she wants to look her best and not break the bank.

We’ve done some digging and found our three top deals which all brides should take advantage of. Thank us later.

TO TONE UP


Orangetheory Fitness runs highly-effective one-hour interval-based classes – comprising of treadmill, rowing and floor exercises.

TO GLOW UP

Every bride wants glowing skin on her wedding day and a broad stroke of highlight can often look a little fake. Try dermaplaning. The process completely removes the dead, dull skin cells at the top of the skin and leave you with glowing, fresh skin that is super, super soft. because dead skin cells are taken off during treatment, your usual skincare will penetrate deeper and have a better effect. In addition, it combats that niggly, annoying peach fuzz which you definitely don’t want to be catching the light on the those wedding photos!

Book in at Regent’s Street Aesthetics where you can currently buy packages, including a skin peel or micro-needling, from £120 https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule.php?owner=15220636

PILLOW PERSONALISATION FROM NANU

Posted on by

Let’s be honest, there is absolutely nothing better than laying your head on the pillow at night. There’s also nothing worse than laying your head on a pillow at night and that pillow being lumpy or flat. Shudders.

The sleep experts at Nanu have introduced a gamechanger – the world’s first personalised pillow.

How it works

Simply input a few answers online about which way you sleep, together with your height and weight and then asks you to choose the level of firmness. The answers will then be put into a pillow builder, or to be more technical, a mechanical algorithm, to create your tailored pillow. Simple.

What’s in the Nanu pillow

Super soft and allergen free recycled filling. The sustainable efforts filter through to the packaging too, they use only recycled materials.

How much it costs

The pillow costs £30. Whilst it might seem a little steep compared to a typical pack of two, it’s completely worth it. Don’t believe us? Give it a free 30 day trial!

Why it’s important to get the right pillow  

A good night sleep might just be the best medicine. It helps your skin, helps to reduce stress, puts you in a better mood and could even make you smarter!
