Varta Powerpack.
WE have just returned from our holidays and I sincerely regret not having this device with me while I was away! How come your phone runs out of charge at the most inappropriate times?
The Varta range is extensive and you can find all sorts of useful devices on their website but am so delighted with the Powerpack 2600.

Best holiday ever! England and Wales, 2016.
Do you have to board a plane and travel to far-a-way destinations to experience a great family holiday? No! For our family holiday 2016 we never left the United Kingdom. A few weeks of careful planning and ‘investigating’ and I had the ultimate family road-trip planned. Armed with nothing but an iPhone and Google Maps we set off on what became both an adventure and the trip of a lifetime!

iFit Link Fitness Tracker
The iFit Link – what is it about?
‘You’re not a complicated person. You like things to be simple. So do we. That’s why we’ve designed the Link: a fitness tracker that would meet the expectations of any minimalist. It’s small and inconspicuous, but also easy to use. So you can spend less time stressing and more time living’ (iFit Link)

Radisson Blu Hotel, Sligo
Our stay at the Radisson Blu Hotel in Sligo was unforgettable. From the moment we arrived and throughout our stay we were made feel so welcome and we were treated like VIP’s. This hotel is just the place to book if you are on the lookout for a luxury summer break in a beautiful area.
The grounds are simply stunning with the main hotel situated on an elevated site at the end of an immaculate sweeping driveway.

Pizza Hut at the Odyssey, Belfast.
Last month we traveled to Belfast to see a show at the SSE Arena. We always plan to arrive in plenty of time to get a ‘good’ parking slot – this means one near the exit gates. I had my three children with me and we decided to have our tea at Pizza Hut on site simply as it was so handy and I have yet to have a meal at a Pizza Hut that I didn’t thoroughly enjoy!

Disney On Ice Silver Anniversary Celebration.
This Easter we had the most fantastic time at the SSE Arena in Belfast. The kids and myself went to see Disney On Ice Silver Anniversary Celebration on Easter Sunday. We have been to similar shows in the past and they are a firm favourite with me. The show never fails to surprise and delight both the kids and the adults. The themes and characters change from show to show but there are a few ‘staples’ that appear every time – or the kids would riot!! Read More

Half Term break at the Dunadry Hotel.
Half term this year was spent at the Dunadry Hotel in County Antrim and I have to say we have never stayed in a place steeped in such a fascinating history – this was a brilliant break for the kids with a history lesson thrown in for good measure!

Thermos Double Wall Hydration Bottle and Fashion Hydration Flask.
Thermos is a brand I grew up with. My mum always packed her Thermos flask when we went on a road-trip and there was always coffee, tea and hot chocolate served at every picnic!
Thermos have quite a range of flasks for all occasions now. From flasks to keep drinks hot, cold and even flasks for food, a baby range and some very trendy lunch-bags. I have had the pleasure of trying a couple of their new additions to the range and have nothing but praise for this well known brand.
The Thermos Double Wall Hydration Bottle was new for 2015 and it has a few impressive qualities.

Zippo Hand Warmer
My hubby is an ‘outdoor’ man and this product from Zippo is ‘right up his street’ so that’s part of his Christmas present sorted!
Zippo is a brand I grew up. They have been producing lighters and other top quality items for almost 8 decades. Their products scream ‘quality’ and a certain element of ‘class’.
