    Review: Marc Jacobs Splash 'Biscotti'



    Marc Jacobs introduces a collection of pure, clean fragrances that evoke simple pleasures and experiences.
    Lighter, fresher scents.
    Pure, true colours.
    Simple packaging with clean lines.
    Larger sizes to be splashed on liberally and enjoyed fully.

    Top Note : Orange Flower, Bergamot, Dewy Freesia
    Heart Note : Mugget, Pistachio Blossom, Orris
    Base Note : Vetyver, Vanilla, Creamy Musk

    I love Marc Jacobs Fragrances; they have something special about them. The packaging is never over fussy but simple; and the reason for that? The amazing fragrances contained within the bottle. My favourite Marc Jacobs fragrance so far has been 'Daisy' but that was before I smelt this gorgeous fragrance. What is so unusual about it is the fact that it is one of the Marc Jacobs 'Splash' Collection. Each fragrance from this collection is based on a 'Patisserie' smell, which let me tell you are absolutely amazing!! It's so different to any other fragrance I have ever smelt. A fragrance based on a food is a very new and novel idea, but it really works. 'Biscotti' is one of those biscuits you dunk in your coffee and this fragrance incorporated all the satisfaction you would gain from dipping one in your coffee. The fragrance surrounds you in an air of comfort somehow.

    As soon as I opened the bottle I was transported somewhere very dreamy. The perfume had a warmth about it without it being overpowering and unwearable. Some fragrances can be categorised by 'night' or 'day' fragrance; this fragrance can fall in to both categories. It is really, really wearable. The immediate note that hits your nose after spraying is a comforting orangey smell, which I assume must be the bergamot and orange flower. Bergamot is particularly good at releasing endorphins, so no wonder this is the ultimate feel-good fragrance. After about 10 minutes of wearing however, you can certainly smell the vanilla and a very small amount of musk.

    Lakeland Push-Along Mower


    The Lakeland Push-Along Mower (Ref 51499).

    This mower has really awakened a love for gardening within me. The mower makes cutting grass so easy; and the fact that the mower is so light also means that it is very portable.

    The lawnmower needs assembly when you first get it out of the box. However, once assembled it takes literally seconds to get ready for mowing. It is simply a case of unlocking the shed door and you are away to go. There's absolutely no fussing about with leads or worrying about petrol. Just mow and go. It's really satisfying to see the lines which the mower produces. Several neighbours have commented on the results, which was particularly pleasing to me. The fact that the mower has a grass-catcher is another bonus because it means I can empty the grass straight on to the compost heap.

    Anyway, for a more comprehensive review please watch my video review:

    Father's Day gift idea - Day 7 - Tools from Wilkinson





    If you are stuck for ideas why not get down to Wilkinsons. How about getting Dad a brand new tool box and filling it with some bits and pieces. Most dads will be only be too pleased to renew their tool collection. There’s nothing more annoying than asking your Dad to fix your wonky shelf for you, only to find that he can’t place his screwdriver. So now you can make sure he’s raring to go on a job, and can find his screwdriver and tape measure in a convenient tool box! Or maybe he wants to get stuck into the garden this year, but he’s not sure where to start. Grab him the essential tools from your local Wilkinson store, at really low prices.



    Dad says: "Not only were these great gifts for me, but now I can return the favour and get some of those long awaited jobs done. The Large Tool Box (£9) is 20 inches, this is really great as there is plenty of space to store everything. The tool box is light but strong and comes with an inner tool tray caddy with a handle, so that you can take selected tools in a little carry tray. You are also able to lock it with a padlock.

    The Stanley Screwdriver Set (£9.77) was fantastic! It even came with a holder to hang them straight on the wall. The screwdrivers also have a shadowing system; so that you know what screwdriver goes where and if one goes missing you will know instantly which one. They felt very durable and the tips were very strong. The grip was very comfortable. This was an awesome set!

    The Stanley Tape Measure (£5.49) was very strong and flexible, with a nice smooth action. It is also coated in Tylon to make it stronger. This would certainly makes DIY dads very happy!
