Galassia comes in a number of different colours. 

This shawl/Sarong was made using 60 emerald green

 There are beautiful sequins in the yarn that catch the light as it moves. 

It's like little stars 

It's made with 69% cotton 30% acrylic 1% polyester. This means that there isn't an excessive stretch to the yarn and it's light weight and brilliant for summer.

It's perfect for using with summer garments.

It's easy to work with and we a beautiful array of colours you are able to match your garment to the rest of your outfit.

I really enjoyed using this yarn and would recommend it.

This Sarong/Shawl is made so you can wear it over the day around the pool and then dress up an outfit in the evening with it.

SH & SH Hair Brush ~ Product Review

SH & SH Hair Brush

Doesn't this brush just look so funky and fun.

This product from SH & SH is of a high quality

but doesn't let this distract away from the fun hair brush.

It may also just look fun but it does the job.

The unique shape of the bristles mean that they easily

pass through your hair and detangle it.

With having long hair most of my life I understand how painful

detangling your can be.

Especially as a child I really suffered.

I wish I'd had one of these brushes then.

I also love the size of the brush.

It's a perfect size to fit into your bag.

The size of the head has been thought about

and even though it's small they have kept the head

big enough to do the job.

Not only do you get this fabulous hair brush

you also get a mirror to check out what your hair looks like.

Do you have someone in mind for this brush!

Would you buy it for yourself

or would you buy it for a family member or friend.

I received the product to review.

Owl Toppers ~ Product Review & Giveaway

Owl Toppers

My husband loves a glass of wine

but as I can't drink he often doesn't finish the bottle.

There are lots of different designs

but not all of them fit your bottle correctly.

You might wonder what owltoppers offer you that

other bottle stoppers don't.

They are;

• Easy to Use
• Dishwasher safe
• Non spill
• Sealed, Just Insert and twist
• Reusable
• Tasteless
• Non-Toxic (Made with 100% Food Grade Silicone)
• Anti-Dust
• Unbreakable
• Holds Shape
• Keeps Wine Fresh
• Soft
• Eco-friendly

Not only that they are super cute.

The other brilliant thing is you don't just get one size.

You get two sizes in the four and this means

different sized bottle openings can be stopped.

The thing I love about the product is as soon as you receive the

parcel you are treated well.

You receive a beautiful thank you message.

They are also packaged in beautiful packaging

which means they are ideal as a gift.

I always find it difficult to buy for men

but this gift is ideal.

If you know someone who loves to drink but doesn't finish

the bottle then this is ideal.

I love how they look.

They do what it says on the box

and they make fantastic presents.

And now it's time to see if you can win yourself a set;
