Принцесса Нури (Princess Noori) - Tea - бергамот (bergamot)


This is a flavoured black tea from Russia, the one I tried was bergamot (Earl Grey) but they have many flavours to choose from.


I really liked this. The black tea wasn't bitter and the bergamot flavour was strong (just the way I like it).
Often with flavoured teas the flavour is more of a scent, this tea doesn't have that problem.
I cannot speak for all of the flavours they offer, but if they are anything like the bergamot one, they will be fantastic.

Price: 5/5 ($1.33 AUD for 25 teabags)

Burt's Bees Baby - Daily Cream to Powder



This is a diaper cream that is meant to have a powdery finish.
And it does dry down to a powder, which is cool.

It has a soapy scent which is quite strong, so if you don't like they way it smells, you are in for a bad time. I personally like the scent though.
The product also boasts to be 99% natural, which includes a natural fragrance.
It also has no phthalates, parabens, mineral oil or SLS.

I really wanted to like this product, but it separates almost immediately.
You go to squeeze some out of the tube and just the oil part comes out.
If you have a baby, this product is just annoying and is going straight in the bin!

It's a nice idea, but it needs to be reformulated.

Price: 1/5 ($12.24 for 113g)

Hair Removal Sponge



This is a double sided sponge.
The pink side is like a very fine sand paper to break the hair.
The blue is a 'polishing' side (read: useless)

You are meant to rub it in a circular fashion on moist skin (but not taking the sponge into the shower with you).

And... Nothing! (as expected)

Save your pennies.

Price: 5/5 ($1.24 for one)
Effectiveness: 0/5

Facelle - Slipeinlagen (Panty liners) - normal



These panty liners have no scent, which is nice.

It doesn't cost much for a box of 50, so they are great value for money!

They aren't the most robust, they do tend to break up a bit by the end of the day, but not to the point to being unusable.
Not my favourite design, but they work in a pinch.

Price: 5/5 ($1.87 for 50 liners)
Effectiveness: 4/5

Isana - Anti-Transpirant - Grüne Frische



This is an antiperspirant with no alcohol. 
The scent is called 'Grüne Frische' (Green Freshness) and it has a fresh, green, cucumber scent that isn't overpowering.

It works well and I have to say, I really like it.

Price: 5/5 ($0.86 for 50mL)
Scent: 4/5

Podcast Review - BFN (Big Fat Negative)


This is a podcast about going through infertility, hosted by two friends.
They interview specialists from different areas such as mild IVF, acupuncture, and overseas clinics.
They also have a doctor they ask about a different 'old wives tale' each week.

When listening to them, it's like hanging out with some good friends while also being very insightful.

It is a wonderful podcast if you want company on your own TTC journey!

Alnatura - Rooibos Vanille Tee


This is an organic rooibos tea flavoured with ground vanilla pods from organic farming.

The scent is initially very strong, but once brewed, the tea has a lovely mellow vanilla taste.


I could drink this every day easily!
