Pinkster Gin
Pinkster Gin is top of my Valentines day shopping list – it’s gin, but not as you know it !! It’s perfect to share with your Valentine as its pink and fruity – and the presentation is fab. The bottle is absolutely gorgeous, a beautiful pink rectangular bottle that looks good with gin in it and will also look good with a candle in it when you have enjoyed the gin.
With it’s heart shaped label to finish it off, it will melt hearts for sure.
Pinkster gin is made with raspberries exclusively grown in Pinkster HQ Cambridgeshire so this is a pretty special bottle of gin!
However, as with all good things, they don’t last – this is a limited edition bottle so get yours now, available from Amazon – link below.

iFit Classic
The new iFit Classic fitness tracking watch is really something. Its a watch first and foremost and it looks like a watch, however, its also a brilliant fitness tracking device.
iFit claim to have the world’s leading fitness platform, connecting their fitness devices to smartphones, treadmills, stationary bikes etc. IFit offer comprehensive information, personalised training and connection to a massive community of users – over 30million miles were logged in one year by the iFit community, wow, imagine having that support behind you! I think this could be the motivation I need so I am now an iFit ‘addict’ and loving it.
The iFit classic watch is available in two colours – obsidian black/platinum or frost white with rose gold tones. I have the black and I love it. The face has 3 fitness dials that track steps, calories, sleep and distance.
This is really handy if you feel you have had a good day but the iFit classic will let you know if you have not reached your daily activity goal to stay in shape and healthy.
In particular, I love that I can track my calories easily and directly and I can make decisions regarding food choices and exercise and the results are quickly checked and tracked.
However, I am not so fond of the vibration alerts when I am sitting down with my feet up watching telly. I do note them and respond – in time!
The ‘Move Ready’ technology is exclusive to iFit and its pretty amazing – with some other fitness trackers you have to change modes when you change the type of activity you are doing. With the iFit Classic, the modes change themselves as this clever tracker can detect which activity you are doing. This makes wearing the tracker so easy and hassle free.
I also have to add that the iFit classic is water proof and the battery charge lasts up to 7 days. I have tried very hard to find a negative point to comment on but I have failed miserably! The iFit classic really is fantastic and it would make a perfect Valentine’s day gift for your other half.
The iFit classic is available from www.nordictrack.co.uk for a really good price of £199

‘So Divine’ for Valentine’s Day 2017
It’s almost Valentine’s Day and I am thinking – do our men know what we REALLY want? To be honest, I am craving Mr Grey and cannot wait until my friends and I head out to the cinema to see film no.2 – Fifty Shades Darker! We have been messing about at work and the plan is for each of us to bring a ‘prop’ – we stand a good chance of being refused entry with some the props my friends have talked about bringing! I have my ‘prop’ from So Divine and if you are on the lookout for something ‘fun’ but not overpriced for your partner this year you have to have a look at www.so-divine.com

Protect My Pet
Last month I discovered an amazing intuitive company – Protect My Pet. These ingenious people came up with a solution for pet owners, sending out cute well presented boxes every month containing all your dog needs to stay healthy and parasite free. These are tailored to suit your pet specifically and have the correct dose of worming and flee treatments as well as some ‘goodies’ and other essentials. My dog quickly detected that the box contained something nice!
I simply have to comment on the presentation – look at the paper and paw print sticker – isn’t this fab? I love it and even hubby was impressed. Tyke’s box is £10 each month and it is certainly cheaper than worm and flee treatment you get from the vets.
The box contained a packet of natural breath freshener treats and a natural snack bar – he loved this. Its so important to keep an eye on ingredients in dog food and good, truly natural companies are hard to find. Protect My Pet have used products from Lily’s Kitchen, a very well known natural pet food company and also from Pooch & Mutt. These are 100% safe for your pet and have no hidden ‘nasties’ contained within.
Have a look at www.protect-mypet.com and read their story, the how’s and why’s of the company are very interesting. They certainly impressed me and I will be receiving Tyke’s treatment from them as and when he needs it in the future, simply and with no fuss.
Get your free first box by using code PAMPEREDPETS before 25/03/17. Choose your box at www.protect-mypet.com. (Ts&Cs apply.)

Maui Jim Bamboo Forest Sunglasses
I will never forget my time on the island of Hawaii. The sun, sea sand and gorgeous scenery made my trip unforgettable. Maui Jim sunglasses are inspired by and made in Hawaii, what better place to make and design super cool and practical sunglasses?
Aside from looking great, Maui Jim sunglasses ARE great! They combat glare, block 100% of harmful UV rays and do not compromise on vision quality. All the colours come to life when wearing Maui Jim’s, thanks to their revolutionary ‘PolarizedPlus’ lenses. The natural vibrant colours of the island are enhanced with rare earth elements incorporated in the lenses. Impressed? So am I. Maui Jim glasses can also be made to your own prescription so we can all enjoy the brilliance of these very cool eye glasses.
I have Maui Jim Bamboo Forest Sunglasses and all I can say is WOW. They look great, and are so easy to wear. The combination of a very light frame combined with super strong scratch resistant lenses have placed these at the top of my ‘favourites list’. These come in three styles – Olive Fade, Root beer Fade and Gloss Black Fade.
Exclusive to Maui Jim, MauiFlex memory metal ensures these frames outlast any other sunglasses, retain their shape and weigh next to nothing. They are worn effortlessly and the high gloss finish screams, ‘ look at my gorgeous sunglasses!’ Well, I think they do!
I can’t say enough about them. I have never spent more than £30 on sunglasses in the past so I guess I am fairly easily impressed. However, I never fail to stop at a stand of sunglasses and have tried various designer brands in my local ‘posh outlet shops’. Maui Jim are far superior. They sit as well on the top of my head holding my hair back as they do when worn to protect my eyes from the sun. The non-slip nose pads ensure they stay in place even when running about after the kids and our little dog. These glasses do not move! I wear them every-day and it ‘makes my day’ when I get admiring glances and comments about them.
I guess the perfect test was to wear them kayaking – would they survive a trip on the water and not fall off? Yes, they did! They perfectly fit snugly to the sides of your head and don’t budge.
Have a look online, the choice is vast with shades to suit all tastes and styles.
Visit www.mauijim.com today and invest in the only pair of glasses you will ever need.
Maui Jim Bamboo Forest Sunglasses – RRP £175 with free UK shipping.
IT’S ALL ABOUT THE VIEW
‘The Aloha Spirit permeates our philosophy at Maui Jim. Our “ohana” (Hawaiian for family) is passionate about creating the best sunglasses on the planet. Because at the end of the day, we want to see the world at its best – and we know that you do, too, no matter where you live. Aloha, friends!’ (Mauri Jim)
