My Right Foot

I've been using E45 for ages now as a Bzzagent agent (too many 'agent's?) and I really am pleased with the results. It has helped my right foot which for some reason is always dry and hideous looking. I've tried my best to get decent photos of before and after -  if you don't like feet, look away now! I've applied the red topped nourish and restore stuff to my foot. As you can see the dryness is much less and my feet look distinctly less gross!


The red stuff is no good for my daughter's eczema but the totally white bottle really helps her eczema be less red and angry after the bath. All-in-all I'm pretty pleased with it and will definitely get some more for my little girl once it runs out.

Money Saving Challenge

Me and the other half had an unexpected bill recently. We panicked, tightened our purse strings as tight as they'd go and finally asked my parents for help.

This is not going to happen again. We've set ourselves a challenge. To save £300 by July. We have a running tally on a whiteboard and are taking it seriously.

Total so far: £21

19 from the copper jar - all bagged up ready to go into the savings account and a random £2 coin.

BzzAgent Again

After the E45 success (2 free bottles and a load of samples) I've been selected for a deodorant product test. It's on it's way so I'm pretty excited. Well, not 'excited' I'm not that sad, but pleased as it can be expensive and anything for free these days is helpful.

I'll post a picture as soon as it arrives, until then it's a case of checking the post every morning to see if it has arrived!

E45 Review

I heart freebies!
You may remember in my last post I said I'd joined BzzAgent and I'd received a sample kit of E45 to test as part of a campaign. Well, nearly a week of being a Bzzagent and using E45 and I can say I'm pretty pleased with the results.

My daughter's eczema is definitely a lot less red and angry, she's also stopped her occasional scratching bouts too! I'm using the moisturising lotion on her legs and arms. It goes on really easily and soaks in well. She enjoys me slopping it on and brings it over shouting "cweam mummy!" It's delicate and fragrance free so perfect for her young skin. She likes to slop it in my hair while I rub it on her - it does not do wonders for hair...

Nourishing and Restoring in Action!
The Nourish and Restore cream smells lovely and makes my skin feel nice and soft. It's not an overpowering lingering sort of smell either. People I've given the samples to have also agreed it smells nice and leaves skin feeling soft. It also soaks in well and doesn't leave you feeling all greasy which some moisturisers for dry skin do.

So far, so good!

E45 Sample Kit

I've joined Bzzagent it's a sample, test and review type site. They match you to suitable campaigns for you to try and if you like it promote it to your friends. I've been asked to review E45 cream. I got a very generous supply of 2 bottles (one for me one for the wee one) and samples for friends.

I'm pretty pleased with it so far. Looking forward to slopping it on after tonight's bath! I've used some of the E45 products on the wee one's eczema before so I'm hoping this type will be just as effective.

Almost Free Pudding!

I love the start of autumn partly for the trees changing in colours but mainly because of all the free fruit.  I'm lucky that I live in ...
