Little Prints Assist New Parents to make those Important Memory Milestones with Mess Free Ink Prints they can Treasure Forever

When the initial weeks with a newborn baby go by in a blur, most parents don’t realise they are missing out on making those key memory milestones. The newborn stage is a mixture of firsts, but also of lasts when they reach those milestones so fast! From the scrunching up of their tiny bodies to the speed at which they grow, capturing these moments is imperative for parents. One thing that I believe every parent should do is make hand prints and foot prints of their little one in the first month.

As I just became a mother for the second time I wanted to achieve all the things I did with my eldest child, but without the stress and the mess. That is when I found Little Prints online, and I reached out to them to collaborate for this blog post. I was so impressed with the brand and knew I wanted to share their genius product design with all my parent followers.

I planned to create photo multi-frames for family, including my son’s prints in that design. So let’s take a look at how easy it was to do and the look of the finished prints. I had Blue Ink and Black Ink.

What makes Little Prints unique?

Little Prints are a UK based brand which was created by parents who wanted a mess free way of preserving a little one’s prints. Stress and hassle free ways to make prints for special milestones.

Choose between Light Blue, Pink or Black Ink kits, which come with two pieces of card inside, but you can always use more pieces of card to create more prints. Even though the ink has limited uses as it transfers to card with every print, there is plenty of it to make several prints.

My Thoughts

Overall I have been so impressed with the brand, the products, and the finished look of the prints. I feel like the fact that it’s a mess free process makes it even more appealing too. You can create once in a lifetime memories and freeze time on your little one growing by achieving their prints.

I would rate my entire experience from the ordering, delivery, quality and ease of use. All the way to my finished prints a 5/5. Little Prints are the ideal gift for new parents, giving them affordable and quality products in order to immortalise their little one’s hands and feet.

How Easy Is It To Use?

Little Prints kits are so simple to use, let me explain how easy it is from my own personal experience. The kit comes encased in plastic (but don’t open it until you’re ready to do the print) and there is a sticker on one side to let you know which side needs to go against the card. If you follow that instruction you cannot get it wrong. All you have to do is ensure you are getting your little ones print level and flat. The hardest part is getting a wriggly baby to stay still for a moment.

Step 1. Ready your little one in a safe space on their back or get a loved one to hold them.
Step 2. Remove the ink kit from the plastic casing, place a piece of card on to the side with the red sticker.
Step 3. Turn the kit over so you have the protected side available to press your little ones hand/foot in to.
Step 4. Once you have done your print carefully remove the card and let it dry before framing.

Pricing Correct as of December 4th 2025

Final Thoughts

As a way in which to save this milestone essential time in your little ones life, I feel like Little Prints help you to achieve prints in the easiest possible way. It’s affordable, with great delivery times and at a quality which is ideal to gift new parents if you aren’t buying for yourself.

You cannot replace this time with your newborn baby, and creating keepsakes like prints is ideal for framing or memory boxes. We have created a thank you card for family and friends by scanning in our little ones print, so the prints themselves make a versatile way of sharing your little ones milestones with others too. My son’s footprint in the frame looks perfect and I plan to pair it with a photograph of him.

Secret Scent Box is the ideal Gift this Christmas with Designer Fragrances and handy Atomisers Perfect for trying new scents and for people who like to smell good on the go

This November I have been lucky enough to collaborate with Secret Scent Box again, and if you haven’t heard of them I’m going to explain how amazing their subscription boxes are and why you should check them out this festive season. Either to treat yourself or as a gift for a loved one, it’s a wonderful way in which to try new fragrances.

Secret Scent Boxes are the ideal Christmas gifts for the people in your life who enjoy designer fragrances and smelling fabulous. The best thing about this subscription is the fact that there are hundreds of scents to choose from, and Secret Scent Box ensure you get handy sized atomisers which give a minimum of 30 days of the chosen fragrances. They are perfect for people who like to change up the way they smell, without needing to fork out hundreds of pounds for a full size perfume bottle that they may tire of wearing after a month or two. This way, you can try new brands, rate them and then next month try a new perfume all over again. It’s a great way to try many different designers.

More about Secret Scent Box

Secret Scent Box is a London based company. Website LINK
Cost of Subscription Box: £15 (1 month) / £14 (6 months) / £13 (12 months)

Choose your plan for your scent box, it is posted as letterbox size and you receive 3 x 3ml atomisers of fragrance to use over the next 30 days.

Overall I think Secret Scent Box is a wonderful way to try out designer fragrances without spending tons of money on full sized products. The convenience of the box coming through your letterbox each month, with the 3 x 3ml atomisers that are the perfect size for both travel and handbags is a bonus too. I think the cards that depict the notes of each fragrance is really interesting as well, I often notice that I’m drawn to some notes with various fragrances I like. I never would have known this without Secret Scent Box’s attention to detail by providing the cards for each designer scent.

I would rate my overall experience with Secret Scent Box a 5

Argos Tester Product Review Stealth Glow Gaming Headset Stand

Hello! I’m Sabrina! I am an Argos Tester, this means that I often get items sent to me for the purpose of an online review. I thoroughly test the products and take photographs of them before submitting my findings and honest thoughts over to Argos. Sometimes I even do a video, and these are shown on my social media channels (links at the bottom of my post). This latest campaign was for Gaming Products including this Headset Stand by Ste4lth.

I have written this review about a product that I have been supplied for free, in order to test and then review it. This is my experience with said product and it is my honest review about the product listed below.

My Review

The Stealth Glow Gaming Headset Stand is the perfect gift for any gamer, or someone who has a headset they want to safely display in a room. The lighting effects are excellent, with plenty of variations to suit every person’s tastes. There are different styles such as Pulse, Fade, Rainbow, Trance, Rapid and Static colours. The static ones are Red, Yellow, Green, Blue, Purple/Pink, Teal and White. In order to cycle through the modes you simply press the main button on the base of the stand. Once you have decided which one you want you stop pressing and enjoy the light show. You can also choose to have no lighting effects where the base stays black.
The stand is compatible with all headsets, and is a sturdy base that stands up on any flat surface with ease. It has a non slip capability and also comes in plastic free packaging which was a great bonus for those of us who are recycling conscious. The usb cable that you use to power the stand is long enough for most televisions. I chose to plug mine into a bar with usb slots that I use on my tv stand because I charge several devices this way. But what’s really awesome about this headset stand is that it has two usb slots itself, one A and one C, that can be used to charge headsets or other devices whilst the stand is itself plugged into a usb slot. I chose to charge my headset on it, and the speed of which it charged was more than adequate for my minimal gaming headset usage.
The ability to charge my headset when it’s not in use, whilst enjoying the lighting effects in an evening is great. I decided after some testing that the modes I prefer to use are the rainbow and the fade ones. Overall the all around light effects including the base and the trim make for an interesting piece for anyone’s gaming set up, it is both compact and useful with the usb additions to the base, and I believe most people would find it to be an asset both in maintaining tidiness and keeping one’s headset safe and secure.

Overall I rate this product a 5

The Vax Spotwash, is it worth the hype?

Earlier this year I made the decision to buy myself a Vax Spotwash Home and Pet tool device. I had seen adverts for probably a year and finally concluded I needed one in my busy home. With Cats and Children at home it can mean a lot of mess sometimes and I wanted something that would make cleaning easier and better than me being on my hands and knees scrubbing stains.

In my bundle from Vax that I purchased I got the Vax Spotwash Home and Pet Design. They included the Spotwasher liquid and the Pet Stain and Odour Remover liquid. I was also treated to a set of sprays included in this bundle, the Vax Stain Removal Kit, which were called Stainshot Sprays. I have an Antibacterial, an Original and an Oxy Lift. They come in Spring Fresh scent which I found pleasing and not an overpowering smell. I also got a Car Cleaning Kit but I haven’t needed to use that yet.

What I received

Vax Spotwash Machine for Home Pet and Car
Vax Spotwash Solution
Vax Antibacterial Solution 1.5L
Car Kit (Free)
Stainshot Sprays Kit 3 x 750ml
6 Tools for different jobs

Testing the Vax

I had a 3 month old stain on my grey rug that I couldn’t shift with supermarket products. It was orange and yellow, from Cat Vomit unfortunately, and although the rug was clean and I cleaned it regularly hoping it would fade, the stain remained and looked awful to me. So I decided to test if the Vax Spotwash could remove this stain for me, at least fade it somewhat.

I chose to spray the stain with the Oxy Lift Stainshot Spray, because I felt the bubble action would benefit lifting the stain. Inside the Vax Spotwash I used the Vax Cleaning Solution which is Antibacterial and warm water as described in the instructions. Using the scrub tool as the attachment because of its bristles, I hoped to lift and scrub out the stain along with the solution and spray working in tandem.

The device was easy to use and I could see the results as I scrubbed away with the tool. It did take some elbow grease but the device did do a lot of the work for me. I love how I could see the moisture being dragged and sucked back into the machine as I used the tool and hose across the rug when I was done scrubbing. The rug was left smelling great, the stain was 90% faded away and the fibres were definitely clean. I decided to hang the rug outside to dry fully in fresh air, because despite the tools suction being very efficient it wasn’t dry enough to be left on my wooden floors (beneath the rug). Once it had fully dried I could see the extent to which the Vax Spotwash had worked on the stain. It was 95% faded once the sunlight and air had gotten to the fibres.

Overall I would say I’m ecstatic with the results, because the stain was not fresh it was embedded in the rug fibres. I have other rugs that I’m planning to clean up in the exact same way, from cat vomit and food stains such as coffee drips. And I can say with some positivity that the stains are likely to be removed or at least faded to a point where they are no longer noticeable. The fact that the Vax Spotwash also cleans in general to such a high standard makes it such a wonderful tool to have in my home, for both convenience and hygiene reasons.

Cleaning the machine after I was done was a little tricky on the first ever go. Mainly because of working out how to empty and clean all the components effectively. I was surprised as well just how heavy the machine was, and obviously that increased once the fluids were in both the clean and the dirty tanks. At the end of the day you have to think of a small hoover weight, plus the tank of liquid, then you’ll get a rough estimate in your mind. The Vax Spotwash weighs approximately 4.5kg when empty, more when solutions and water and tools are added.

Would I recommend it? Is it worth the hype?

For the price that I paid, which was £129.99 (delivered free) due to an offer. And it came with the free stain removal spray kit, I believe the machine and it’s accessories are good value for money. As for being worth the hype it has certainly worked for me and for what I wanted it for. General cleaning of rugs and upholstery that cannot go into a washing machine, and to remove or fade stains that are integrated into said fabrics. It definitely worked for me and left everything I have used it on looking, feeling and smelling clean.

Yes there are cheaper brands out there, but having done a little research before purchasing my Vax, you don’t get as many accessories, tools, and cleaning solutions with other brands which you would then need to purchase or buy supermarket alternatives to use with the device you have bought. I have used my vax and still have enough solutions to last maybe a year or two at least, because you measure out what you need at the time of filling the device, so nothing is wasted.

I have scored the Product Design as a 4 and the Packaging as a 4 too. Although they claim the machine is compact, I found the pipe really hard to wrap around the machine once it had been used a few times and stretched out. I don’t have a cupboard large enough for it to go into either. There were also no instructions in my box regarding the disassembly and the changing of tools, I had to figure it all out on my own, including the cleaning of the machine, despite it having a few labels on my device itself it wasn’t always clear what to do. I would have loved to have seen some clear instructions.

Overall I do rate this purchase, I feel it is worth the money. And with my latest family addition on the way I’m sure I will get more use out of it very soon too.

Product Information
LEGO Ninjago Dragon’s Rising – Rogue’s Mech Dragon Rider
RRP: £60 (correct as of 25th July)
Set No: 71843 / Pieces: 584 / Ages: 8+
Argos Website LINK

My Review

Ninjago Dragon’s Rising is a highly detailed LEGO set that is perfect for anyone who is a fan of the Ninjago characters, or Dragon’s in general. I was very impressed by how some of the LEGO pieces were used to create the look of this Dragon and Mech.
The creature has so many stunning features that include stickered parts and plastic wings, as well as an awesome skull with teeth and flames. The robot (Mech) dragon rider is filled with nice parts usage and unique features too. It has a cool weapon and several moving parts.
The set contains four LEGO figures too all with amazingly detailed costumes and weaponry. The attention to detail with dragon carvings and swords is incredible.
Due to some pages of the instructions being quite complex, I would say the age range was appropriate, however even an eight year old might need an adult overseeing some of the pieces applications. This is because of the size of the build mainly, it would be hard for small hands to hold and fit certain sections together I feel. It is definitely worth the couple of hours necessary to make this set up though. It would help give imagination to any child who enjoys this genre and has hours of playability.
My favourite aspects of this set are the details and the design of the two main builds. They look both unique and inviting with their colours and shapes. The characters are awesome figures each with their own style and weapons distinctive to them.
Overall this LEGO is easy to complete, with 6 separate bags of bricks, one small sheet of stickers, two booklets to follow and the sheet of plastic add on’s (wings and shoulder cape).
There are a couple of pieces of the build which are easy to knock off during play. My son was happy to test this out for me, and although they are easy to click back into place be aware of that when letting your child play especially if there are smaller children or pets in the home. The Mech robot only stands up well on a flat surface if it’s not on top of the Dragon, so playing with it on carpet might be an issue for this build. To combat this you could put some flat LEGO pieces (if you have any spares in your home) on to the base of its feet.
Would I recommend this LEGO set? Yes I absolutely would do. My son can’t wait to play with it more and thinks the Dragon looks awesome.

This LEGO Set has lots of great features and accessories for all the characters.

Details on the creatures and the figures are wonderful.

As with many LEGO sets the instructions and diagrams are easy to follow but some parts are quite complex. This set is designed for 8 years and over and I agree with that estimate.

Summer Stationery Collaboration with Gift Company

This June I am so happy to announce I have a wonderful collaboration with Gift Company to share with you all. The store and I go way back, and when they approached me to showcase their brand new stationery collection I jumped at the chance (of course!) to do that.

The main design is a floral one, with butterflies and intricate flowers in pastel shades. The designs flow similarly throughout the set, tying in their compatibility and their uses. There are notebooks, planners, organisers, reminders set and even a pop up weekly calendar.

Gift Company have three designs for their stationery. Spring Breeze is the one I am reviewing, but there is also a Running Hare and Blue Floral set, they are all stunning. The Spring Breeze set contains 18 matching / similar items.

They also sell boxed sets with a repeating design including Hedgehogs, Mum’s Organisation, Bee’s, Robin’s, Cockapoo’s, Woodland Friends, Country Animals and more Pets too. So much choice that is ideal for everyone, something to suit everybody’s tastes.

If you would like to check out the sets I will be popping some links further on below my review scores, but until you get to that point please enjoy some of my photography, showcasing the stationery in it’s best light and detailing the beautiful designs.

The weekly pad I received has 56 pages which means you have more than a years worth of weekly pages ready for use. The weekly planner I got given has 61 pages, so you get way more than a years worth here too. Both are ideal for keeping track of things. The planner has more room to write in the columns, however the weekly pad also has the additional boxes of “Notes”, “I’m Working On It”, and “Quote of the Week”. So it would all be down to personal preference.

Gift Company also kindly sent me one further gift in the form of a pet memorial stone. I recently lost my eldest fur baby in May, and it hit me very hard. It was a lovely gesture from them as they reached out for this collaboration. And I want to thank them whole heartedly for the stone, here is an image of it. I can recommend it to anyone in the same position, it’s intricate details and kind words are comforting in a moment of grief. The sentence “You have left our lives but will never leave our Heart” is so poignant and true, and I am grateful for this memorial for my beloved pet.

b.box flip top insulated water bottle product review

For my most recent collaboration I have been sent a b.box bottle to test and review. I have really been looking forward to bringing this review to you because this item was a joy to test out, and it has now become my every day go-to reusable bottle.

The b.box flip top insulated bottle is an amazing design, which features a free flowing spout to drink from when the flip top is open. It is leak proof when it is shut. The bottle is seamless and smooth all over, and with a handy silicone carry strap it makes for easy on-the-go hydration.

The bottle I have holds 1 litre of liquid, but they also do it in 690ml size too. Boasting a fabulous 46 hours of chilled beverage certainty that I can attest to having rigorously tested it for the past four days too! This water bottle is a game changer for those of us who pride ourselves on getting our hydration out of the way every single day. And a bottle like this makes it effortless let me tell you more…

No more sharp edged plastic bottles, no more drinks getting warm in the sunshine while you’re out and about. And definitely no more leaking in your bag. We all keep getting told how bad plastics are for as well, so let’s all take a look at how this stainless steel bottle works.

Let me explain how the b.box insulated bottle is created, and show you a few graphics from my collaborative partner detailing their incredible design. So a triple layer helps the water in your bottle to stay cool for up to 46 hours, it does this using a stainless steel inner layer coated then with copper and then a vacuum layer before another layer of stainless steel. The powder coat outer layer is purely for the addition of a colour choice, of which there are 12 to choose from. The layers work in harmony to keep the cool temperature of the bottle stable while you go about your day and keep the warmth of the air out. The silicone elements of the bottle which include the very handy carry strap add another level of sophistication and functionality to this product.

I took the bottle out on several walks and errands over the course of four days, in 20 degree’s Celsius (average) heat because it’s been lovely warm and sunny in the UK this week. And my water stayed cold all day long. Pouring in water and dropping in ice cubes was easy, the large opening at the top is big enough to place them inside, and the opening and closing of the lid itself is simple to do but you can also feel how secure and in place it is when you carry it. No leaks and cool drink for hours on end, perfect.

As part of a healthy lifestyle it’s important to choose products that help us to either maintain or better those choices, I believe the b.box brand is helping people to do that with their innovative designs.

Who is this bottle ideal for?

I believe anyone who needs on-the-go hydration would find this bottle an asset. You can use it for Work, Home, Days Out, School, College, University, Pregnancy, Breastfeeding, Bedside, Gym / Fitness, Camping, Festivals… pretty much anywhere. And because of it’s large 1 litre capacity you will find you won’t need to fill it so often either. The recommended daily allowance for an adult is at least 2 litres of water a day, which means you would only need to fill this bottle twice in a day to get your RDA. It is ideal especially for warmer days in order to stay hydrated and allowing your water to remain both cold and refreshing. Because let’s face it, none of us like to drink lukewarm water.

Designed for ages 6 plus up to adults, these bottles are perfect for those of us who enjoy staying hydrated, but this bottle makes it even more easier than other designs too. With a smooth flip top cap opening that is complimented by the free flowing stainless steel straw within, drinking water couldn’t be simpler. My six year old opened the flip top on this bottle and said it was easier than his school bottle made by another brand. Having been so impressed by b.box as a whole I am now considering getting my son his very own flip top bottle, but likely the smaller version which comes in at 690ml.

Summary

Overall I am really happy with this product and I am planning to use it as my go-to bottle from now on. It’s been a joy to test it and I am so glad that I’ve been introduced to b.box as a brand now too.

You can purchase one of their bottles and look at the range over on Amazon. The b.box website is only currently available to order items in certain countries right now, so I would recommend Amazon as your first port of call if you’re looking to purchase an insulated bottle like mine, or just to see what other items are available – they even do a baby and toddler range.

Before Chocolate is a Hot Chocolate like no other

When I was approached by Before Chocolate to product review for them I was very excited. It is rare to find a chocolate product that is dairy free and made to a standard that is so exceptional. Today on my blog I am going to talk about my experience and taste testing of this delicious brand.

Before Chocolate Original Hot Chocolate

About Before Chocolate

Established in 2019 by Harry and Mandi. A UK based company with high standards for producing a chocolate that is not only good for you, containing natural ingredients, as well as no allergens. But their mission was a simple one, to create a product that was chemical and additive free, that tasted like real chocolate should.
They work closely with the Cacao growers they use to find the finest beans for their products. Harry is an EU Organic Superfood importer, and Mandi is a mother of two who has always had a passion for real chocolate.
Before Chocolate is made from South American Fino de Aroma Cacao beans. And are Winner’s of 17 Great Taste Awards. They have also been featured on ITV.

Some Words from Before Chocolate and how they create their Artisan Hot Chocolate

Our chocolate products are a result of our collaboration with some of the world’s best cacao growers and chocolatier’s. Our range is inspired by the finest traditional superfood ingredients, multi-generational chocolate-making expertise and a desire to go back to the roots of chocolate making.

Chocolate as we know today is industrially processed, contains refined sugar, E numbers and many other nasty ingredients making it nutritionally poor. We’ve simply taken chocolate back to its origins; simpler, healthier and more natural than modern day chocolate as we all know it today.  Our cacao-rich super smooth chocolate is made up of high quality organic wholefoods, ethically sourced directly from the very best farmers around the world.

We’ve kept our ingredients list as short as possible with just single origin Peruvian and Ecuadorian Organic Cacao, Organic Coconut Sugar (15%) and with added superfoods such as Camu Camu, Turmeric, Maca, Lucuma and Chia seeds.

Before Chocolate products are allergen-free, vegan, organic, free from refined sugar and most importantly taste delicious. Great for all of the family, convenient healthy treats on the go or to simply have as a healthy snack at work.  Now you can enjoy your chocolate, guilt free knowing its actually a better alternative. Before Chocolate represents simple, clean and natural ingredients. Exactly how Chocolate should be enjoyed.

Cacao solids are 51% of the packet. I was given 135g bags which turn into 5 portions (regular mug size).

The Products I Have Reviewed

When I was sent the hot chocolate pouches I could tell from the packaging that it was made to a high standard. Everything was clearly labelled with all the information that you could wish for. From the ingredients list to everything you needed to know about the product that was inside, including how to prepare it. The pouches are also resealable with a wonderful enclosed lip, this allows you to use just what you wanted and save the rest for another day.

I found that the bags contained 5 portions per bag, but liking my hot chocolate quite strong and also using a large mug I decided to add a little more into my saucepan than the recommended 3 spoonful’s, I used four. We had 4 portions of drink from the Original pouch, and 5 portions for the Orange and Spiced flavours.

I invited some family members over for the afternoon where I made everyone a hot chocolate of their choice using Almond Milk (we are a dairy free household) and I found it was simple to prepare. Using my favourite milk saucepan I poured in enough almond milk for the mug chosen and waited for it to simmer. Then I began stirring in the wonderful rich Cacao from the Before Chocolate packet. I used a silicone whisk to ensure a smooth finish. I made each drink one at a time for the different flavours, and then we sat around drinking them.

The overall view was that each one was certainly smooth and rich in flavour, I had personally never had a hot chocolate with such defined flavour. I actually think my choice of almond milk really complimented it. The before chocolate drinks were like velvet across your tongue, strong chocolate flavour and a nice after taste.

Original

This has to be the smoothest hot chocolate I have ever tasted, rich and delicious. A few minutes after I had finished it I did find myself in need of a glass of water, I think due to the richness. It was an indulgent and decadent treat for my taste buds. Knowing it was good for me, even though it tasted divinely naughty with its strong chocolate taste made it even better. Halfway down my mug I decided to squirt a little dairy free cream on the rest, and that complimented it very well too. The overall view was that it was a hot chocolate ideal for any time of the day or night, and it was ready in only a few minutes.

Orange

Well if you like orange flavours this would be the choice for you. As my mother said as she tasted hers “it’s like drinking a liquid chocolate orange”. Again a deliciously smooth feeling as you drink it, and full of flavour throughout every mouthful. It was even mentioned between us that you could make this and pour a little over ice cream or other desserts. Something we might have to try with the little bit left in our packet!

Spiced

A delicious chocolate flavour with a lightly spiced taste. It’s smooth and that hint of spices is so warming alongside the hot chocolate and its created warmth from the saucepan. This one is particularly good for this time of the year, ideal for the festive season, definitely one for adults to enjoy more so.
Although you could add portions of half original and half spiced and your children would likely love the smooth lightly spiced flavour of this hot chocolate with the rich smoothness the finished product provides.

Would I recommend it?

Yes I would recommend it. Not only is the hot chocolate incredible taste wise, but it is better for you than a high street or supermarket variety of hot chocolate. I would rather be putting this Cacao made version into my body than anything that has added sugars, E numbers and chemical additives in it.

Before Chocolate ingredients are actually good for you, they are delicious, it’s vegan friendly and it’s made with it’s growers in mind too – good karma! Overall it is an inviting and indulgent chocolate delight, a warming and comforting drink in the colder weather. The fact that it’s made in a way that is not harmful to your body just makes me want to drink it more, it tastes naughty and rich and yet it’s so good! It’s a win win for everyone.
