Lets talk micellar waters!




Has anyone noticed that since the Youtube lot got their hands on BioDerma the market has just exploded with Micellar waters! I mean its water in a bottle right...well wrong. Micellar waters are made up of tiny droplets of oil called micelles suspended in water. So it stands to reason that the different oils in different cleansers will have different effects.

I set out to test The Simple Kind to skin Micelle water (400ml £5.99, currently £3 n my local Boots) against my favorite Garnier Skin Active Micellar Cleansing Water  (Boots 700ml £5). I picked up the Simple product as it was cheaper than my usual Garnier plus I'm always up to trying new things.

So I'm just going to cut to the chase as I'm sure most people just want to know they work interchangeably so you can grab which ever is on offer.  As a mad scientist I quickly mocked up a non biased test haha I hear you laugh. I had Rimmel Lasting finish 25 hour foundation with a Mac blusher finished with Soap and glory powder. My make up was still looking good after around 5 hours wear. Each cleanser was applied to a cotton pad and swiped once across my cheek the result surprised me. Not only is the Garnier cotton pad covered in make up, the streak on my cheek was clear where as the Simple cleansing water left a blotchy patch that took a few goes to remove.



So next time I'm in Boots I will be giving the Simple cleanser a miss, really Id love to get my hands on some more BioDerma but alas the other half has banned holidays  before the wedding is paid off.

For those who want a little more;

Packaging - The simple cleanser comes with a screw cap and squirty top. The Garnier bottle is alot more user friendly with its flip top saving valuable seconds on a cold british morning not hunting for the missing cap. Tho that might just be a thing that happens in this house.

Scent - both are unscented and well resemble you know water.

Consistency.....erm H2O.

Lots of Love till next time

The forbidden corner - North Yorkshire

Hi Guys We recently spent a weekend at our friends in North Yorkshire so I thought I would write a little review of The Forbidden Corner . Photocredit Firstly I will start out with a simple statement BOOK EARLY . When we were looking for things to do we talked about the forbidden corner and looked at the availability. At the time of looking all times were available however 5 days before we travelled down (when we booked I know, I know disorganised) the only morning slot available was 10am on the Sunday (i.e opening time). This was great for us as we were staying relatively local and have a young child so getting up at 6am was well normal. Don't think our friends though the same...sorry guys. So we headed off the attraction is accessed through a number of sleepy villages and winding rural roads, we even passed a set of race horse returning from a mornings run. This was great for us as we live relatively rural and Zach loves to watch animals however for all you city dwelle...

Is kiddie Tv ever okay?

Sorry for the long time between posts, starting a blog isn't easy money! Its hard work and takes practice. Ive said before I'm not afraid of hard work however (I must stop using that word) I'm pushed for time at the minute. My lack of time actually leads to this post, over the years I've often wondered how kiddie TV hasn't been banned considering all the bad press it gets. Kids TV aka Thomas the sinking tank engine and rider + his silly Paw Patrol have quite literally saved my sanity and therefore my life. Mums of boys will know just how demanding they can be, I often see my friends with little princesses set up a few dolls before walking away to wash the dishes in peace. For a mum of an active little terror that just isn't going to happen anytime soon. No sooner have I ran the dish Zach is ready for his newt activity or has come up with a new way to try and kill himself! Do I feel guilty for letting him rot his brain with a few episodes of Paw Patrol so I...
