{Subscription Service Review & Reveal } April Easter Edition Kids Book Club Book Unboxing

 
Hi guys! Happy Thursday. How has your week been? Mine has been a little crazy ... I won't lie trying to work and homeschool at the same time is not for the faint-hearted. 

Today I'm sharing our April Easter Themed Kids Bookclub with you. I'm honestly so glad I upgraded our package last year... I wanted to go back to the single book in February but it slipped my mind... and now I 100% know I love the package we are on. I won't be going back to the single book. 
We were a little behind on our Kids Book Club books as Alex has other books he reads in between - but with no books being sold in Level 5 in the Lock-down we quickly caught up and we actually ran out of books to read now. Thank goodness Takealot sells books again and Kids Book Club can deliver again in Level 4 - so if you haven't already I would suggest you look into this subscription service for sure.

As I mentioned here many times before- Alex does read every night before bedtime - this is a strong rule we stick to every night. He loves reading and he often walks around with a fact book or Encyclopedia in his hand reading everyone facts about volcanoes, dinosaurs or the human body.

I love that Kids Book Club send us a cute book, an activity something and a cute bag every month. April's theme is Easter super cute too. These bags are awesome if you go shopping to throw in your bag and let the kids help out packing groceries. We even used it for our Easter Egg hunt

So more about the service again if you missed it last time :



We picked the two-book Fox Favourites (5-10years) package - this month we received a book, a book about Telescope Data ( which my kiddo loved - which is awesome btw !), the monthly activity booklet, The new storytelling mat and character, the cute new monthly bookmark and of course the cute bag.

The activity book this month included colouring, tracing activities, matching activities, and stickers.  For us, this is a perfect filler for before bedtime where we already cleaned up all the toys and packed away any games and T.V time is done. 


So onto the two books we got - The reading book Nanny Ninja and the more educational book Hubble Telescope Data. Nanny Ninja by Jenny Jinks "When a strange noise wakes Ant in the night, he hopes to catch a glimpse of the mysterious ninja - a local crime-fighting hero. What he doesn't expect to see his Nanny climbing out the window... dressed as the Ninja !"Hubble Telescope DataA book all about outer space and how telescopes work - Alex really loved this book as he loves learning about things - which I love that there was a book to explain all the workings and how to identify planets etc in this book. Pretty awesome to have handy especially for school work later down the road as well.

Then the cute Easter activity booklet. There were enough activities to do and keep Alex busy yet give him a few special activities around easter time to get into the spirit since we couldn't have family over to celebrate in this time. Again we laminate the snap cards and he loves playing a game of snap with my dad before bedtime ... or even before breakfast in the morning.

As I mentioned these activities are perfect before bedtime filler ... or when you need a few minutes of sanity to keep him busy. Some of the activities are more for smaller kids - but a few hand-eye coordination exercises never hurt anyone.



We picked the R240 package which included delivery as well as one book, an educational activity and activity book and cute theme of the month bag. I'm pretty impressed and can't wait to see what the next book will be (Although with lock-down we will get the next two sets together ... I will still review each one separately as well )

Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer Review and Wear Test

Hi guys. Happy Monday. How was your weekend ?? Today I will be sharing my review on the Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer . I have worn this quite a few times since buying the product - so I have a pretty good idea how it preforms. The colour I got was a typical Lynette colour - The Catrice ICONails Gel Lacquer in Donut Worry be Happy. This is such a gorgeous fun pink colour. The range does have quite a few colour options - and what I do like about the range is that no top coat is needed. So while I always top coat polish or gel polishes - I didn't when I tested this out. Since I did mention I have worn it quite a few times - I always wore it without top coat. The polish dries amazingly fast - and is dry enough to not make dent marks on it within 20 minutes. Which I think is pretty impressive for a polish without top coat. The brush is on the thicker side - making the polish super easy to apply. I prefer nailpolish brushes like this since it's mostly just one swipe on each

CATRICE TREATMENTS SERUM REVIEW

Hi guys! Happy Wednesday. How was your week? I totally lost a day with the public holidays and Easter Weekend threw into the mix ... I was pretty convinced today was actually Tuesday. As I mentioned in my New on my Beauty Desk post in February - I got a few Catrice serums from their new range to try out. In total I picked up the Hydro serum as well - so today I will give you a rundown on the three serums I chose from the range to my routine.  Overall - I have a pretty good idea of which ones I love - which ones are good and which ones I'm not 100% sold on.  CATRICE HYDRO PLUMPING SERUM  This serum contains 1.5 %  hyaluronic acid and panthenol to plumps up the skin as well as have a soothing effect on the skin. Hyaluronic acid is well known to hydrate the skin and absorbs easily into the skin super quickly. I love using Hyaluronic Acid in the morning before applying make-up as it gives me a hydrated base to work with. Honestly, while I did enjoy using this serum - I do prefer the Sw
