Paradise Found Tesalate Towel

As parents with 2 young kids, space is something we struggle with especially when we travel, so we totally love this light microfibre Tesalate towel which not only packs into a tiny little bag and easily transportable.  This attractive towel is made from polyester polymide which means its super absorbent and dries quickly hence great to take to the beach or swimming pool. I totally loved the vibrant picture of the flamingo on the front of the towel and the black and white geometric pattern on the back. Priced at £49, this towel is made in Sydney, Australia and its creation has come from the owners of Tesalate wanting to make the perfect, sand-free, beach towel. The towel measures up about 160cm x 80cm and extremely compact and fitted into our swimbag when we went swimming at the pool, we also took this down to the beach with us when we went to Malaysia and was surprised to find out that it was literally sand-free, all we needed to do was dust it a little.  Already in love with this towel? You can get yours in time for your summer vacation here.

Proto-col Intense Protection Day Moisturiser

Having a good moisturiser especially in summertime is so important and even better if it also protects your skin from the harsh effects of the sun and from premature ageing! Here, we share with you about Proto-col’s Intense Day Moisturiser with SPF 50+ .  Made by the leading collagen brand, the moisturiser also features antioxidant vitamin; Panthenol Vitamin B5. This vitamin prevents the accumulation of free radicals in the epidermis and replenishes the skin giving a
healthier complexion.  Founded in 2003 by elite athlete James Greenwell following a sports injury, he created this cream formulated with plant-derived collagen and other ingredients such as Fresh Royal Jelly. Coral Seaweed amongst others to help his recovery. I totally loved using the cream, firstly it did not have an oily base and was light textured as well and I did not feel it after a few minuted of rubbing it onto my face.  Perfect for all skin types, this retails at £19.97 and you can purchase a bottle for yourself here.

TREK Protein Nut Bars

These TREK Protein Nut Energy Bat are just perfect to take with you on your holidays, picnics, walks or runs.  I take my energy bars seriously as I eat quite a bit of them especially after a walk, zumba or even during meals to avoid snacking on unhealthy junk food.  Now, these TREK bars are by far my favourite, the bars are made from fruit combinations, gluten-free oats and nuts and they also made with all-natural ingredients which helps with slow-release energy. I was sent the TREK protein and energy bar and flapjack which included the Cocoa Coconut Flapjack, the Peanut Power, the Banana Bread, the Cocoa Raisin and Cocoa Oat and the Cocoa Oat was my favourite. It was not overly sweet but hit the right spot and kept me energised and full.  I loved that all the bars are gluten free and vegan so I can share these with my friends.  You can get these Trek Protein bars online here or from your favourites stores such as Sainsbury, Waitrose, Asda, Morrisons, Tesco or Boots.

Flexitol Heel Balm

If you are ready to wear your favourite sandal or slippers but are worried about your dry or cracked heel, then don’t worry as we share about Flexitol’s Heel Balm.  Now, this balm is medically proven to provide relief from dry, cracked skin on heels and feet such as foot anhidrosis.  We were told by the team that all the ingredients used are responsibly sources and none of them has been tested on animals and all their packaging are entirely recyclable as well.  I do have dry skin and especially on my heel, so this product was perfect for me, just after a few days I could see the difference and my skin was not as dry.
