Photo Canvas Review from CanvasDesign and Competition plus a exclusive Discount code!!

I recently received the opportunity to review a canvas from CanvasDesign, I chose one of my favorite images of my youngest two where  Alisha is puckering up to give Aaron a loving sisterly kiss.

My canvas was ordered on the Friday,i had an email to confirm it arriving on the following Tuesday i also received a 1 hour time slot on the morning of the day it was due to be delivered,upon arriving i found it to be very securely wrapped in layers of cardboard and fragile tape we had lots of fun cutting and unraveling hehe...inside the cardboard we found our canvas incased in lots of bubble wrap again secured by lots of tape, The canvas itself once removed from all the packaging was in excellent condition it was like going to the shop in person and receiving straight after being freshly put together.it came with all the fittings needed to hang up on our wall which made life alot easier.



Our canvas is now hanging proudly in our front room as this is where most of our entertaining happens,i cant wait to see what are guests think of our new center piece!





Overall thoughts:


  • Stunning picture quality on the canvas
  • fantastic construction and in perfect condition
  • very fast delivery taken with care

Once my house is fully decorated i plan on looking to order a couple more canvas prints i love it so much!

February 2014 is National Heart Month



There are about 2.6 million people in the UK living with Coronory Heart Disease(CHD). Every single one of us has a heart which means every one of us is at potential risk.

Understanding heart conditions isn't an easy task-there are lots of differant types and knowing how the heart works is more helpful when trying to learn about these conditions.but looking at the facts will benefit yourself and the people you love in the long run.

Managing your diet,keeping fit,and watching your blood pressure are just a few important factors. The British Heart Foundation's webpage has information about heart diseases and how you can beat them,and of course don't forget to pick up your free fundraising kit!.


Superhero Sunday!

It's the boys turn to shine again for our weekly Superhero Sunday! each week myself and my friends and fellow bloggers Viccy from Jelly Rose Yate and Jess from Owl crazy mummy get together and let our boys pose in their superhero gear :)

Here is my Aaron in his Supertastic Spiderman t.shirt from Asda teamed with jeans and a monster hoody top also from Asda and a pair of Clarks shoes :)




Whoshotjohn review and competition

Whoshotjohn T.Shirts and apparel are inspired by the world of film,tv and videogames.
if you are a nerd you will love the Whoshotjohn website

Whoshotjohn very kindly sent me two T.Shirts to review,both were well sealed well in a clear air tight bag





The first T.Shirt was The Slow Club which was inspired by Blue Velvet,now i wont lie i have not heard of  Blue Velvet before so i am not sure if movie/tv or game based but please feel free to enlighten me in the comments below. i love the vivid blue colour with darker blue print i also loved how it really brought the blue out in my eyes,isn't it funny how some clothes can do that?



The next T.Shirt was Camp Crystal Lake which was inspired by Friday the 13th!!, all i could say when i saw this top was heck yes!! i am a massive Jason fan i have literally seen every film and was soo excited to get to try this Tee out.





My first impressions:

Both tops were sent and arrived very fast in clear well sealed bags,both tops were in perfect condition no damage or tears ect. both were in a size Large as i was informed that they do tend to come up a little on the small side,for me it was a perfect fit,i loved the length also. All the T.Shirt's on their website are priced at £12.95 +PP

Whoshotjohn have also started to sell Hoodies and Ladies Fit  T.Shirt's all of which look very awesome.Whoshotjohn also have a pay by Paypal option, i always look for this as i feel it is a easier and safer way to shop which also means you don't have to keep handing out bank details,Bonus!.

I really love Whoshotjohn,i only wish i could of gotten a few more pictures in the Camp Crystal Lake T.Shirt as i really love it.

Whoshotjohn gets a 10/10 - would definitely recommend.

Disclosure: i was not paid to do this review only to keep the product as a thank you for the time put into my review,all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Now Whoshotjohn have very kindly offered one blog reader the chance to win two t.shirts of their choice! in order of standing a chance of winning just fill out the rafflecopter form below and remember to read and fill it correctly or your entry's will not be counted.

Bunches.co.uk Review

Bunches a family run business since 1989,they pick only the freshest flowers from all around the world!

Do you have a special someone with a Spring birthday? or are you struggling to think of a Easter gift and dont want to give out the normal chocolate egg treats? Then why not give them a truly delightful Spring bouquet instead!


I was recently offered and sent a gorgeous bouquet to review from Bunches.co.uk.

The flowers were delivered by a very polite delivery guy in a wonderfully eye catching box,i was soo excited and couldn't wait to open and see the contents. i opened the box i was stunned by the beauty of the flowers i could see..





I received the Spring Charm  bouquet which is new on their website at £22.99(including delivery)

A gorgeous bright yellow Germini is surrounded by pretty purple Tulips and beautiful golden yellow Roses,complemented with delicate purple Phlox,bold purple Carnations and white Euro Chrysanthemums to create a charming bouquet perfect for someone special this springtime.

Order online and you get free chocolate with this bouquet too!

It also came with a little message placed at the top of the box so you couldn't miss it
Now if you buy these do remember you will also receive a yummy box of chocolates i'm tempted to buy more just to get to sample them! ;)








I love how it came with some background  information on the company itself and also some tips on how best to take care of your flowers which is a great idea.

Overall i love Bunches a great and friendly company with lots of stunning bouquet choices to be found on their website,you are sure to find something to suit for everyone's tastes and budget's.one other big plus is i am now on day 6 and only one flower has started to wilt!!

Bunches get a big 10/10 for me
