Testimonials for Work Wonderland

Over the past year, Alison has helped me to challenge and overcome the real and perceived barriers to my career development. Her practical and personalised advice has been pivotal in helping me to get on the right track and secure a new opportunity to further my career. I continue to find Alison’s support really valuable and thoroughly recommend her to anyone looking to develop or change their career. Chris White

For anyone who is a little lost in life, get ready because you are about to realise what makes you happy and I say this with zero exaggeration – your life is about to get infinitely better.

I was at a complete loss with my career path, doubted my own abilities and even doubted my capability to make a decision that would be right for me. Alison helped me realise that I had my own unique strengths and values that until now, I hadn’t even really acknowledged on a conscious level. Uncovering these really helped bring them to the forefront of my mind. I found that I could make decisions with more confidence.

Estarer Laptop Bag Review and Giveaway

Timing is key to most things and considering my laptop bag was falling apart at the seams the time was right now to look for a new one. My computer travels more miles than I can imagine. It comes to work every day, it will accompany me on business trips and it travels in continuous circles around my own house, from room to room, up and down the stairs being the faithful servant it is.

So, news flash! I have a new bag! Boy am I pleased with it, I’ve got that office chic feeling again. It’s great what a new bag will do for me.

Today I am not only telling you about this great bag from Estarer but I also have a Giveaway too! You can get your hands on a bag just like this by entering at the end of this post. First though let me tell you a bit more.

I have chosen the brown the version and it also comes in a plum colour. The bag is large and has space for just about everything. If you are a multi tasker then this will be just right. There’s even space for the odd nappy and baby wipe.

I like the short straps as I often get shoulder ache when I have a shoulder strap so this suits me a bit better. However for those of you who like the shoulder strap then there is one included.

The front on the bag has zips and compartments with easy access. If you use a note book jotter for those instant ideas such as blog post ideas or extra items for the never ending to do list then the jotter will be easily within reach using one of these outside pockets.

The bag is large enough for a 15 inch laptop and will also accommodate A4 folders alongside it.

Product Dimensions: 30 x 9 x 40 cm
Weight: 980 g

Overall view of the bag is that it is a good size for me, I will have to be careful not to overfill it or I will struggle with the weight. It is stylish and stands out from the normal run of the mill cases which I have looked at previously.

The Giveaway!

Time for tea with Adagio – Review and Giveaway

I love a cuppa, last thing at night and first thing in the morning you will find me with a cup of tea somewhere close by. Over the years I have tried many different brands and had phases of drinking different types of tea. As part of my own growth in how I enjoy different foods and wine, they too have matured. There’s much more importance to me in how something tastes, what benefits it might have for me and where it has come from. No longer just a drink to have for the sake of it.

Adagio teas have a great take on how to order your tea to be delivered to your home. Their site is divided into sections which help you to make your choice simple. There are sampler packs which you can order that give you a range across the type of tea you wish to try. Loose tea is spooned into the paper filters made of taste-neutral wood and hemp fibres. You make your own little… or big tea bag, how cool is that! I liked this as even though you get the suggested amount to put in you can adjust to your own taste.

Apparently tea is the most widely consumed drink second only to water. I can’t think of anything that is so versatile and has so many different flavours.

You can learn so much for the website such as how to make the perfect cuppa! That’s got to be high on my list of things to do. Like most things having a really good idea of how where why and how makes us all that little bit wiser.

Tea processing is five basic steps; some teas don’t utilize all of these steps, while other teas repeat them several times. Basic processing is Plucking, Withering (allowing the leaves to wilt and soften), Rolling (to shape the leaves and wring out the juices), Oxidising and Firing (ie: Drying).

I have been looking for warm drinks which my eldest son can have which don’t contain caffeine. There is lots of information on their blog which looks and explains caffeine in tea. My eldests health condition means that he has to have a chocolate, caffeine and yoghurt free diet as much as possible. A tough thing for someone reaching their teenage years. He wants to try so many new things and having a healthy warm drink after sports or a long walk are something he enjoys.

All real tea comes from the same plant, Camellia sinensis, which contains caffeine. Herbal infusions, such as Chamomile, Rooibos and Peppermint, are made from botanicals not related to Camellia sinensis, and they are naturally caffeine free. Adagio has a decaf range and a herbal range so there is a massive choice for us as a family and I can have one place to order from which is a plus point for me.

In addition to the teas you can also buy accessories such as cups, teapots, storage tins and filters.

The Giveaway

I have a great prize today which will be despatched by the fine people at Adagio Teas. It consists of 3 Sampler Packs of your choice and 1 Pack of Tea Filters so that you can start your new tea journey straight away!

4Play Pleasure Box Review & Giveaway

Are you ready for date night? Well I can help you to be super ready to enjoy some quality romantic time with that special someone. This post is for adults only so if you are reading with little ones around then to spare any blushes don’t read aloud!:)

When the 5o shades books came on the scene a few years ago I remember thinking that it was one of those times which changes the way that women view some of the more kinky and playful sides of a relationship. Talking about this with my girlfriends I knew that it was refreshing to discuss this side of what happened in the bedroom more openly.

The 4Play pleasure box is an intimate handpicked selection of fun sexual accessories to add that bit of fun into your relationship and enhance what you already have.

The brainchild of Sam and Ali, two mums and entrepreneurs who identified a gap in the market for a fun and empowering box of playful accessories that allow partners to reconnect with each other through foreplay.

Their first box is aimed at being sensual and romantic, even for those that have never dabbled into the exciting world of playtime before. After spending lots of time together shopping and exploring different products for the box, Sam and Ali decided to stick with items that every couple could enjoy today.

Lets see what the box contains:-

Black Satin Blindfold
Vibrating Cock Ring
Black Feather Tickler
Sex Gaming Dice
Edible Fruity Lubricant
Blow Job Mints
2 x Condoms

The box comes with a cute little ‘How 2play’ booklet which explains each item in more detail.

What did I love about it; well, it came in a pretty but discrete package which is good, no worries there about blushing in front of the postman or woman. The booklet is really good because even though I knew about most of the items I think this adds to the fun with your partner by reading it together and enjoying that intimacy too. I think it’s an ideal gift for a really close friend or for yourself.

The 4Play team said:

“In the world we live in, there are so many distractions that make us think the grass is greener elsewhere. The 4Play pleasure box is a tool that enables couples to focus on each other and water the grass together.”

How exciting then that you can visit their site to order and also enter here in the giveaway for your chance to win your very own box!

Giveaway!

Open to over 18’s with a UK postal address.

Hallmark Disney and Itty Bittys Review with Giveaway

These days life is so busy that we need to be as prepared as we possibly can. I have a calendar up on the wall to remind me of everything I need to do and where I need to be. I also like to keep a box of presents for either boys or girls so the children can always wrap up something really nice to take to their various parties. When they were smaller they could come home with invitations to three or four parties a month…each! It seems to be getting a bit easier now though. My motto is ‘be prepared!’ What really helps me with this is to have some cards at the ready for any occasion, cards that I have taken time over and carefully selected instead of having a mad dash at the last-minute. I’ve got a beautiful box made for me by one of my best friends on my shelf that I know that I can go to and be able to pick out a suitable card whenever I need it.

The selection of cards at Hallmark are so pretty and I have recently been looking at the Disney range.

Hallmark have been pioneers of greetings cards for over 100 years and pride themselves on being the go to place for when you want to show someone how loved they are.

I love this 3D Belle card which has a fold out honeycomb dress. Really pretty and it adds a bit of an extra girly flamboyance to it.

The itty bitty collection is made up of a whole host of well known and adorable characters, from the Frozen favourites; Elsa, Anna, Olaf and Sven to Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean. The cute toys are so soft and snuggly that I bet you won’t want to give them away as presents. I remember when my youngest was smaller he loved rubbing clothes tags between his fingers as a soother and when I saw the little arms and in particular the antlers on Sven itty bitty I imagined him doing the same with these toys.

With most toys being quite expensive it was refreshing to see that itty bittys are well within the price I like to pay. At £6.00 each they are very reasonable and they are bound to put a smile on the face of whoever receives them.

Giveaway!

I am delighted to be able to offer one of you lucky readers the chance to win 2 Frozen Itty Bittys of your choice!

Mothers Day Gift Guide

Colorland

There are so many important events to remember each year that the Colorland people have got it covered by helping us to remember everything with their calendar range. My calendar is used constantly so I was drawn to this pretty quickly. What I also love is photo books.

I created a beautiful photo book covering what we all got up to as a family last year. I love the fact that I can have a whole area of photo books on my book shelf to look through of special events and holidays. My boys and I will often snuggle up and look through them and reminisce. Time flies and the boys are growing at such a speed that it’s wonderful to see how much they have changed from year to year. We get up to so much that it is a wonderful way to reflect back on what each of us has done.

I’m so pleased to be able to offer all of my readers a promotional deal. You can get a 32 page Photobook Exclusive A4 (Portrait/Landscape) at a price of £11.99 GBP +free shipping (70% off)

All you have to do is enter the code: MDMYREALFAIRY at the checkout. Expiry date is: 30.04.2018

For other fun tips and ideas have a look at their facebook page.

Colorland ship to UK, Ireland, Spain, Czech Republic, Lithuania, Germany, France, Italy and Belgium and you can contact them if you have any questions regarding other destinations.

Bowe Organics

Bowe Organics was founded by Diane after her love of using organic products when she was hairdressing in London developed in a passion to create her own range. Diane launched her first line in 2017 with her organic lash oil.

Mothers Day Gift Guide

I like this because it is a one stop product for my eyes. You can use the oil on both lashes and brows to improve the health and hydration, this helps optimise the appearance of length and fullness. There are lots of pluses with both the luxury ingredients used to create the lash oil and the fact that it has been registered with the vegan society.

Diane is a lady on a mission to bring us a fabulous new line of beauty products and she has a lip balm soon to be released.

You can find out more about her and her products on both instagram and facebook at boweorganics

GiftsOnline4U

GiftsOnline4U has just about every product you could think of covered that you could ask for and you can have it personalised too.

This Mothers Day I’m having a dinner party for myself and my mummy friends; a group of gorgeous friends who met while our children were in nursery and have grown up together. I love having my get together with these ladies as we have so much in common. It’s also a time to really treat each other and for them not to have to cook, wash up or run around after anyone else.

So it was ideal to have the chance to review and buy some personalised alcohol to sip away while having our meal. It’s not an everyday thing to have a bottle of fizz to share and this one was extra special!

You can see the one I designed below, I’m so pleased with it and can’t wait until our meal.

The bottle looks so special with its personalised pewter label which is exclusive to GiftsOnline4U and you don’t need to worry about ordering a bottle to come by post as it was packaged really well.
