Most of the time we are asked to review kids items but every now and then an opportunity comes up for a mummy treat. One such opportunity came up to review a candle from the Charming Candle Co and I was sent a Luscious Vanilla Luxury Jewellery Candle to review for this weeks Tried & Tested Tuesday.

The idea is that you have a beautiful candle which as it burns away, contains a little gold foil pounch. That pouch contains a little treat in the form of a charm bead or ring. Their site boasts that there are over 100 different designs available so you’re not quite sure what to you will find.

This weeks Tried and Tested Tuesday is for anyone who is thinking about getting a new sling. I’ve always carried my children, not only did I love having them close but also with Henry it was just easier as I also had a toddler I needed to chase around after. Darcie I wore until I was almost 8 months pregnant and could no longer fit her over my big belly. Henry’s a little different as at 11 months he’s already heavier than Darcie who is almost 3. This means the slings I have are already a little uncomfortable when wearing a little chunky monkey!

So when the Close team sent through their Caboo DXgo for us to try, I was very excited to give it a go.

Fathers Day will soon be upon us and for anyone who hasn’t been past a card shop to remind you of the date, this year it is Sunday 18th June. Now that little piece of information has most likely left half of my readers smug in their Daddy day purchases, and then the other half in a blind panic as they’ve not even thought about it yet. If you’re in the former group then well done…..go enjoy a glass of wine and relax.

However if you’re like me and usually running around at the last minute trying to find something, then don’t worry. I have you covered as I take you through my last minute fathers day gifts which hopefully has something for everyone.
