Trilogy - Rosapene Night Cream

This rich night cream from New Zealand has rosapene (rosehip oil and antioxidants), goji berry, and manuka honey.

It smells a little like wheat, but it isn't too strong.

It applies nicely, absorbs super fast, and feels very moisturising.

The brown, frosted glass jar is also nice and adds to an apothecary feel.

I would happily buy this again.

Price: 3/5 ($46,96 for 60mL, I got it on sale)
Scent: 2.5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

XXX Review - Satisfyer Pro Penguin Next Generation

I had an earlier model of the Satisfyer Pro and I really liked it... then it went away on a one way journey, never to return.

So I got this one as a replacement.

Things I like about the penguin model:
- It is smaller than the Satisfyer Pro.
- The suction part is one piece with the device, so it is easy to wash thoroughly.
- The design is so stupidly cute and I love the little silicon bow.
- Magnetic charging cable (the Satisfyer Pro also had this).

Things I don't like about the penguin model:
- The suction part is not as soft as the detachable version.
- The on button is no longer separate from the control buttons. They may think it makes it more sleek, but I just find it stupid. 

While it is adorable and does the job, I don't think I would honestly recommend this over the Satisfyer Pro.

Next generation models are meant to be better, not worse than the predecessors.

Price: 3.5/5 ($65.83)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Woodwick Hearthwick Candles - Lavender Spa

I needed to seriously de-stress. not just in a general life sense, but deeply and subconsciously as well. 'Lavender Spa' appealed to me at this time.

This is a nice lavender candle which crackles loudly as it burns.
It is especially loud because of the larger wick surface.

The sound and the lavender scent it very soothing.

This would be a really nice alternative to a fireplace.

Because of the larger wick, it doesn't last as long as other candles of the same size.

Price: 1/5 ($47)
Scent: 5/5
Effectiveness: 5/5

Zinkorotat-POS

This is a zinc supplement with a funny name.

It's a little bit like this.

It's small and thus easy to swallow.

Price: 2/5 ($8.97 for 20 tablets)
Scent: 2.5/5 (none)
Effectiveness: 4.5/5 ( I guess, I feel better on it but I'd really need medical tests to determine this.)

Art Break! - Floral Wreath

I have quite a collection of dried flowers, all from the lovely PB, and I wanted to do something with them.

I cut out some cardboard in a wreath shape, sticking two pieces together to strengthen it.

I painted it green.

I got ahead of my self and added glue before I took a photo.

I attached some leaves and all the roses.
This is actually the second time I glued these flowers down, thanks to Phil.

I added more glue to reinforce the flowers, then used leaves to fill in the blanks.

I attached a string to the back so I could hang it up.

Done!

Verdict: PB liked it and I liked it too! :D

Spinal Tap

No, not the 'band', the medical procedure also known as a lumbar puncture.

You may have seen this on 'House', where I distinctly remember them portraying it as painful.

Well, I had one, and it wasn't painful at all.
It was just like getting blood drawn and I think the hardest part may be the mental image of something in your spine.
This mental image didn't phase me.

They told me to lay down for a few hours after (too easy) and drink coffee/cola to help with any headaches/nausea. 
I drank cola and felt fine.

If you may need to have a lumbar puncture, don't worry too much, it isn't that scary. :)

Rating: 4/5
