Selfie Stick, TaoTronics Bluetooth Remote Shutter Extendable Monopod Universal for iPhone Samsung and other IOS and Android Smartphone

I received this item Free so long as I did a review which I was happy to do,
I originally brought this as a laugh because my partner was moaning we didn't have anyway to take pictures of just the 2 of us, however it has come in quite handy, the stick is extend-able and unlike some extend-able sticks it was not flimsy and held really well, it has been well designed with a nice weight to it, it is rechargeable via a usb cable, which has the same port as my phone so i never need to carry around 2 separate chargers. and the port is on the bottom of the stick so it doesn't get in the way.
the battery life lasts a long time, even if taking a lot of shots, (which i did when first got it)
It holds my Sony Xperia Z3 in it perfectly and it doesn't wobble at all, and there is no risk of it falling out of the holder, and due to the rubber frame does not damage the phone in any way.
It connected really quickly via Bluetooth and worked straight away, didn't have to mess with my settings on my phone, which was a big bonus for me as my Sony can be a bit of a nightmare to connect to anything via Bluetooth.
the wrist strap is a good idea, especially if you have a habit of droppings things like me,

Overall This selfie stick is really nice to hold, and does not have the cheap feel that some do, its a good quality stick, comfortable to hold, and extremely well made. and i am so glad I had the chance to review it.

PedXpress - Pedicure Hard Skin Remover - 100% Money Back Guarantee - Highest Quality Professional, Electric Foot Care File Tool For Callus - Spa Results After One Use On Dry Tough and Coarse Feet

I received this item at a discounted price, my partner suffers really bad dry, hard skin on the soles of his feet,so was eager to try it,
upon receiving the package found the presentation of it was really good and the included batteries which were easy to install enabled it to be used straight out the box.
The unit itself is quite chunky, which if you have bigger hands it fits really well into your hand and is comfortable, however as my partner has quite small hands he found this a bit big and bulky so wasn't as comfortable to hold for him as it was for me.
although rather noisy the pedXpress is really good, although a bit more power wouldn't go amiss, the 2 types of rollers you get Coarse and Normal are really good and have found they last quite a while. although finding replacements has been a little bit tricky,however they do last a good few times so its not too much of a bother.
The dead skin is turned to dust, which I think is so much better than having flakes of skin all over the place, it is best done over a bath or towel,as it makes it easier to clean up, the brush works well to remove the dust from the rollers,
I like the plastic cap on the roller because it means it will always stay clean and won't get broken in anyway. when not in use.

all in all, I did like this product, however a couple small changes would make this product so much better

Diary Day 2 +3 Of Chick Crumb used as Cat Litter

Hello! 
ooops I haven't updated this, I've got a horrible cold, cough, yucky thing that only happens over winter so I quite honestly feel PANTS.

However this has meant I have not been able to clear the litter tray, which means I can give a great review on it now :D 

One Large Box of Chick Crumb, the results are fantastic! its highly absorbent and even being unable to scoop poop for a couple of days its not smelling at all, and the cats absolutely love it! they will continue to use this even after 4 poops are in there, they always used to poop outside when it was 'too full' for them (which was 4 poops).

Only 1 cat attempted to eat it, until her saw his sister going toilet, he then looked at me as if to say 'MUM IV BEEN EATING TOILET CRAP' and he promptly turned around and pees too so yes

Very Happy with this, and I highly recommend to this everyone, whether they have a 1 cat household or a multi-cat household! its cheap, its highly absorbent, it doesn't smell and it hasn't tracked! 

DEFINITELY  A WIN!! 

Cat 'Frenzy' Toy

I am always looking for new toys for my cats to play with, both ones they can play with on their own/with each other, and ones that I can use for interaction with them.

quite a few people were on about these Frenzy Toys, i set about looking on Ebay for a cheap one, as i didn't want to spend a lot on a cat toy if they wouldn't play with it or if it would be destroyed in minutes (I also have a Rottweiler who should be in the Guinness Book of Records for shortest time to destroy a 'indestructible' toy) 

I managed to find these 2 (picture below), it was buy one, get 5% off another one, which came to a whole total of £2.63 with free delivery, they came from china so a bit of a wait, but I wasn't arguing, as I  had already saved myself at least £12 by not getting the 'real deal'  

These have an extend-able wand with foam handle which has a bendy tip (similar to a fishing rod bending with a fish on it) so it won't snap, and the use of fishing line due to the lightness of it and fairly  invisible (to us cats have much better eyesight then we do!)  and it makes it more 'real' that the feathers are flying on their own, joined together with a couple of swivels so it can move around freely acting the same way a feather does when it twirls downwards. 

The cats LOVE them (so glad to have purchased to, 5 Cats, 1 Toy does not work with these) they jump around, and when they catch it they all try to walk off with 'Their Prize' in their mouth. 
The design is really simple that I have actually managed to make a couple, using bits I had around the house, as my Furbabies get fed RAW food, I keep all the good feathers from birds so I always have spare feathers to replace them and also make various different toys with a bit of fishing line and a needle. The cats will spend hours playing with them if I let them and I have to hide them in a cupboard they cannot open when playtime with these have finished otherwise they will go and hide with them and promptly destroy it between arguing with each other over who should have it, 

Definitely worth the few pennies I paid for a copy! :D

Diary of Product Review CHICK CRUMB as Cat litter

I'm always searching for ways to save money, and that are pet safe and as natural as possible with nothing chemically added. 

While I was on a FB group for Raw feeding cats (which I have now been removed, funny story not for blog :))
 I came across quite a few people saying they use Chick Crumb as cat litter, at first I was a bit surprised, iv heard of different things to be used for a litter box, but never something used for food.  I read what the others were saying, and saw a link to one that was from COUNTRYWIDE FARMERS, for a chick crumb that was completely natural (with no added chemicals or medicated like some are)  this was £9.00 for a 25kg sack, thought id check the delivery costs and options as being quite heavy I expected quite a high delivery charge and as there wasn't a store near me I couldn't pick up from store. To my surprise the delivery was only £3.95 up to 30kg, Bargain as this brought the full price to £12.95

I have tried many cat litters, I used 'SANICAT' for quite a while, as it was normally £10 for 30 litres  went up to £11, still not bad, then it rose to £13 then I was paying up to £5.95 for delivery as only one store near me was selling it and all they had was the rose scented one, which dyed the paws (and the mat) pink, 
I used CAT SAN while I only had 2 cats, but it was working out quite expensive, i was desperate one time and while my partner had to go to wilkos I asked him to pick me up a cheap bag to see me through. which actually turned out al-right, then along came another kitty, thought i would stop using that and find something a bit more easier and cheaper, I eventually landed on Sainsburys own and 5 cats, which was actually really nice, I have used Sainsburys cat litter for about 2 years now, and never had a problem until they changed the packaging and the weight, since then its gotten incredibly Dusty, no longer stops odours and i was having to change the litter trays ( I have 4 large ones with 5 cats) a lot more then I used to, so back to having to try another one, which is when I stumbled across this one. 

So I ordered that, which got delivered today (Tuesday) after ordering on Sunday, so extremely fast delivery :)

And Now to end my waffling (sorry for those who find a post on cat litter a touch boring)  and start the diary

Day One - Introducing Chick Crumb as Cat litter.
     The actual product is darker than the picture due to the flash on my phone, but it looks quite nice, and has a faint smell to it which is pleasant, The reason for introducing this is so my cats know it is somewhere to go toilet rather than a huge food supply (after all, it is food for chicks, and my cats eat chicks) I have started this by sprinkling the chick crumb over the top of their old litter, and within 30 seconds of it being down, one of my males who is called Harley, went and pee'd on top of it. Brilliant! now if the other 4 cats follow suit, introducing it will be a lot easier and quicker :D
