Water is Important, Drink more! | Review of the Original Aquatiser

Hello Again,

I've recently been trying to have a healthier diet (even though it's been easter and there's been chocolate eggs everywhere) and a major part of trying to change is cutting out a lot of fizzy drinks! Now I know how important water is in diet but to me I've always found it a chore drinking it because it doesn't taste all that exciting which I think a lot of people have the same opinion - so I introduce to you, the Aquatiser Original! 

Now let me give you a bit of the background of the Aquatiser! It all started when Charlotte was studying health and nutrition and she realises that big changes needed to happen to make the nation be more aware of what being 'healthy' consisted of. Their purpose is to support our healthy lifestyle. So using the Aquatiser helps you drink more water and help with your 5 a day! It makes it enjoyable!


This is the Original Aquatiser (more colours than pink are available) and it's only £15.99 which is so affordable for what there is and you can also purchase ice balls and cooler bags. I'm going to talk you through the different parts that puts it all together.

First of all the original is made from plastic (the pink parts) and glass which means you have have both hot and cold drinks in it. I have only had cold drinks but this would be great for any flavoured tea! Here I have my Aquatiser alL ready to go, today I'm going to have strawberries and grapes but you can literally have anything, mango, sprig of mint - anything!


The Aquatiser is mainly three parts - The Top Container - The Juicers - The Bottom Container.

In the top container you can add in larger pieces of fruit and even ice, you can buy this little silicone ice ball from the website for only £2.99 and you can just add in water through the top hole or you can even add fruit and then add water.



The Juicers (the pink parts) these actually come apart, there's a large juicer and a small juicer. The large juicer adds instant flavour and acts like a filter to keep the fruit in the bottom container. The small juicer compresses the produce (because you don't just have to use fruit, you can use vegetables too) and extracts the flavour.



The bottom container is where you can put larger pieces of produce and then the small juicer helps infuse this with the water.

Then ta-daa, you have nice flavoured water to take with you which will help you stay hydrated though the day and helps you have some of your 5 a day. If you don't fancy eating the produce after you've finished the water you could add either the fruit to a smoothie or the veg to soup!


Overall I have loved using my Aquatiser, I've taken it to work every day and it's taken my mind off of the fizzy drink vending machine. It's light weight, easy to use and easy to clean.

If you're wanting to try and make changes then I really do recommend the Aquatiser it does help you drink more H20, there's even an Aquatiser Sport for the more active! There's also some different recipes if you're struggling to decide on what to have!

Thank you to Charlotte for sending me this product to review!

March Favourites

Hello Again,

It honestly feels like just last week that I was doing my February Favourites but it's not, so here are my March Favourites.

I'm going to start with Beauty as let's be real, it's my favourite thing to talk about. Something I have been using all month and I think it was actually in my February favourites but oh well, it's the Liz Earle cleanse and polish. I'm not going to bang on and on about this as I have spoken about it my it's cleared my skin up so nicely so yes, it's a thumbs up from me! (if you do want to read about me banging on about this check out my review here).

This month I have two favourites that were actually in March's Glossy Box and they are the Hey Honey Good Morning Face Serum and the 504 Large Angled brush fro Luxie! I have been using the hey honey serum under my makeup almost everyday and I love that it leaves my skin feeling super soft. The Luxie brush has been ideal for blending in my cream highlighter, it's so soft and hasn't shed at all. My last beauty item that has been a favourite this past month is this beautiful light pink blush from Loreal. It's in the shade Radiant Rose and it's super pigmented (honestly, I went to town with this one day and looked like coco the clown's missing sister) so I do recommend just a little on your brush to give you a nice natural flush to the face.  It's also got little specs of glitter in it so it's perfect if you want to look radiant.


Another favourite this month has been my flower necklace from Cath Kidston. Sam bought me this for my Christmas two years ago and I hardly ever wore it, but I found it in a drawer in my house a few weeks ago and I just started wearing it again. It is however missing a flower because one of the clasps broke but I manage to take that away and put the necklace back together. I have also been loving the fact that the sun has been making an appearance recently (ok for about five minute periods at a time but it's still better than it has been) so I love that the shops are all filled with colourful tulips. 

And then we have mini eggs. They kind of speak for themselves (mmm mini eggs).

Another favourite has been this little fluff ball called Atlas. He's now 9 weeks old and he's super duper cute!


My last favourite of the month has to be my experience at Go Ape, Crathes Castle. We were harnessed in and were climbing and swinging through the trees. It was such a good experience but I realised I had a fear of heights, but I would actually do it again! If you want to hear more about it check out my post dedicated to it: HERE.


So they are all my favourites for the month of March. I have been super busy blog wise this month, blogger meet ups and events so I'm excited to see what April has in store! What's been your favourite things in March?

Interview a Blogger, HannahHearts | Blog Series

Hello Again!

Welcome back to my Interview a Blogger Series! Today's blogger is Hannah from HannahHearts! Hannah is one of the very first bloggers I came across and she's been so lovely! Let's get to know her some more ...


1. Tell us something about yourself and your blog?

Hello! I’m Hannah and I blog over at www.hannahheartss.co.uk where I talk about all things beauty and lifestyle. I am such a big fan of all things beauty so having a blog and talking about beauty was a perfect fit. I absolutely love bunnies and have two of my own. 

2. How did you get into blogging? Did someone else inspire you?

I started my blog three years ago after a couple of failed attempts but this time it stuck and here I am! I think at the time I was obsessed with Zoella's blog and was a long time reader even before her YouTube career. I remember I had read a post from Sprinkle of Glitter about her hair history and it inspired me to do my own so that night I wrote it and published it and I am still going today! 

3. What does blogging mean to you and why?

It's my hobby and I love the social side of things. I really enjoy interacting with other bloggers on Twitter and have made some great friends though my blog. 

4. I personally have almost stopped blogging so, What keeps you motivated?

I keep myself motivated reading other blogs and coming up with ideas weeks in advance, if I didn’t do this I honestly think I would have stopped blogging a long time ago. I like to keep a note in my phone with a list of ideas so I always have something to fall back on. If I come up with a good idea, I will always write it down because I know I will end up forgetting it within an hour. 

5. Name some (one,two or three) of your favourite bloggers and tell us why they’re your favourite?

I am obsessed with;

Stephanie: http://missstephanieusher.blogspot.co.uk her photography skills are incredible and I love her reviews. 
Jaina: http://whichbeautyboxuk.com Again, amazing photography and its one of the only blogs that I will actually read every single post. I am always left wanting to order all of the beauty boxes!

6. What do you do when you’re not blogging?

When I’m not blogging I am usually binge watching Dance Moms or Netflix. Or reading a chick lit book, I really love Laura Barnards books in particular The Debt & the Doormat series. 

7. What are you most proud of when it comes to your blog?

I am most proud of my blog in general, I never thought it would turn into what it has now. I was in a magazine last year on a beauty panel because of my blog which made me so happy and proud. 

8. Everyone has a favourite and a least favourite post, what are yours?

This is so difficult!! My favourite post I have written recently would have to be http://www.hannahheartss.co.uk/2015/12/20-favourite-blogs-of-2015.html I love sharing the love. 

9. As I’m mainly a beauty blogger I feel like I have to ask at least one beauty question so: If you could only use one kind of beauty product what would it be and why?

How I am meant to choose just one!! I would have to go with Mascara because I am never complete without some fake looking lashes. I would have to go with Benefit They’re Real even though it is a pain to remove, it gives my lashes crazy length! 

10. What would you say to someone who aspires to become a blogger?

Just be yourself and don’t follow suit or copy others content. If your starting for the PR samples, it will show. Start a blog because you want to write about something your passionate about.
