My Top Five Homeware Picks

Hello Readers,
I thought I would start a series of "My Top Five Picks" and this is the first instalment. 

I decided on homeware because I am actually changing bedrooms soon so I wanted some new staples to go in it, the ones in this post are my top five that I found.

1.
LEIRVIK Bed frame
Colour- White
Price- £79
Place- Ikea
Link- LEIRVIK Bed Frame- Ikea

I adore this bed frame, I have never had a double bed before so I think this would be a great first one.
I love the detailing on the back of this bed and I think it would be a great focus piece in my new bedroom. I also have to add that IKEA is one of my favourite places in general, I'm partial to an IKEA hot dog and chips.
 To summarize I really do love this bed and I cant wait till I can go out and get all the furniture for my new bedroom.

2.
Linea Roses heart wall mirror
Colour- Cream
Price- £64
Place- House Of Fraser
Link- Linea Roses Heart Wall Mirror- House Of Fraser

I love this mirror I think it would be a really great addition to my new bedroom and I think it would create a nice feel to the bedroom and it would soften the overall look of the room. I really like how it has been distressed and some of the paint has been chipped off it, it gives it a really shabby chic vibe. 

Overall I think it's a great find and its something you could keep for years and years, Im in love with it  totally and completely.

3. 

Arche Curved White Floor Lamp

Colour- White

Price- £99

Place- Made.com

Link- Arche Curved White Floor Lamp- Made.com

This lamp is the most perfect bedroom staple ever, it is giant which is great because it is going to be a real vocal point when people come round. I have never seen a lamp like this before i think it is so simplistic and its such a trendy item in such a beautiful way. I think it's a real great piece to have in a bedroom because it is big enough to have as a main light i really love it because it is such a basic but in a really big way (No Pun Intended) 

To summarize I adore this lamp and its a really great find.

4. 

Celestial Yin Yang Tapestry Throw

Color- Multi Color

Price- £45

Place- Urban Outfitters

Link-Celestial Yin Yang Tapestry Throw- Urban Outfitters

I really like this throw, I think it would be great to put over the top of white bedding to add a pop of color to a plain color scheme. I think its a really cool pattern and I think it would be a great addition to a reasonably small bedroom and because there are so many colors in the throw i could pick out a few colors and get other accessories for the bedroom that match.

Overall i think its a great find from Urban Outfitters.

5.

Sweet Dreams wall sticker 

Color- Black text

Price- £1.59

Place- Amazon

Link-  Sweet Dreams Removable Sticker- Amazon

I think this would be so gorgeous on the wall above my bed, my future bed in my soon to be bedroom, i just think it would be so stunning. Also its so cheap, i just think it would be so cute on a bedroom wall.

Overall its such a great find and it would be a great addition to any bedroom.

That's it for this post i hope you all liked this post,

Lets Talk About PEPPERSMITH

Hello there,

This post is going to be a chatty one and it's all about "PepperSmith"

PepperSmith is a fantastic brand that sells mints and gum that help reduce plaque (Awesome Right)

There mints and gum are actively good for your teeth, they steer clear of sugar and only using 100% xylitol which helps reduce plaque and tooth decay. 

My package came in a lovely bright blue box with PepperSmith wrote on the front and back.

It's so sleek and fresh looking, so back on to the most important thing the products inside of the box.

Xylitol is a naturally occurring suger alternative. It's name comes from 'xylon', the Greek for wood.

It has less calories than sugar (about 40% less), has a lower GI and, most importantly, has well established active dental health benefits. 

Okay your probably thinking this all sounds great but how does it actually work? 

Well tooth decay starts with harmful bacteria in the mouth which forms plaque. Sugary foods cause bacteria energy to multiply and produce acids that dissolve the enamel of the tooth and cause decay. 

When bacteria absorb xylitol they can't produce acids and they can't multiply- in fact numbers are reduced by up to 90%. It also prevents those pesky bacteria's from sticking to your beautiful teeth which means less plaque is formed. Eating xylitol means fewer acid attacks, less bacteria and less plaque which means less decay. 

By this point I should have convinced you that you need PepperSmith mints and gum in your life but if not the packaging should push you over the edge. 

My box came with six packets of mints and gum, an information leaflet and a postcard. 

The hole package was extremly cute and it's a pretty fantastic way of presenting there products,

What do you think of the packaging? Comment below or tweet me @backgroundblogg

I received, 

Two packets of the PepperSmith Fresh Mints,

Flavour- Fine English Peppermint 

All of there mints are sugar free and 100% xylitol.

All of there mints are British dental health foundation approved and there are,

No artificial flavours, colours or preservatives and No Aspartame either. 

In each pack of PepperSmith mints there are approximately 25 mints and they are less than 2 calories per mint. 

The next were,

PepperSmith Fresh Mints,

Flavour- Eucalyptus & Peppermint 

And 

PepperSmith Fresh Mints 

Flavour- Sicilian Lemon & Peppermint 

Again all of there mints are sugar free and 100% xylitol.

The next two fabulous little beauty's were,

PepperSmith Chewing Gum

The gum is British dental health foundation approved and they are new and improved with 100% xylitol to reduce plaque. 

The packaging is super cute again with a white background rather than a colour. 

The two flavours are, 

PepperSmith Chewing Gum

Flavour- Fine English Spearmint

And 

PepperSmith Chewing Gum

Flavour- Fine English Peppermint.

The gum is sweetened only with 100% xylitol, PepperSmith also reccomend to chew two pieces, three times a day, after meals and then smile like you mean it.

Just so you make sure your getting the benefits of those fab products, 

Dentists recommend you should have 5g of xylitol a day to get all the benefits. 

Not only are the products great but the company and the people that work there are as well, 

They have values that they hold dear to them and are there to remind them of who they are and how they should behave; as a business and individuals.

Everything they make is:

- Accredited by the British Dental Health Foundation for helping reduce plaque 

- Sugar Free

- Aspartame Free

- Suitable for vegans and vegetarians

- GMO Free

They are stocked in some really huge places, 

Amazon

Boots 

Whole Foods

Holland and Barrett 

Waitrose 

Sainsbury's

Those are just some of the places they are stocked.

Whilst I was doing my research for this post I had to mention that there website is extremly helpful and well presented, it's very east to navigate your way around the site and there is a bucket load of information on it. All there links are below, I really want you to check them out, I could go on for ages about this company but I think this post is long enough and before I indulge you in all there social links, website links and extra information links. 

I have to mention the moustaches, 

I'm not going to include any pictures but just be aware of a moustached man somewhere on your PepperSmith packaging there rather funny. 

We have came to the end of this PepperSmith post, I just want to say a huge thank you to PepperSmith for gifting me the package that was featured in this blog post. 

I really hope I have persuaded you to try PepperSmith mints they really are good for you and the company is a pretty darn good one, Rush out or buy online, just try they's mints and gum.

YOU WONT REGRET IT!

What Do We Think?!

Hello Readers,

I thought i would come back with a fun post, I need to voice my opinion on Kim Kardashians new hair. I have watched "Keeping Up With The Kardashians" since the very beginning so im very aware of Kim's latest hair cuts, colors and styles. Usually i tend to like her new style and beauty changes but i personally think this new do was a step to light, i think that she used to dress and put herself out there as a reasonably respectable person but i defiantly think in the recent months that has changed. First it was the nude photo-shoots, then it was the revealing clothing and now its the dramatic new hair cut and color. I respect Kim, she has the guts to do naked photo-shoots and looks great doing it, 

i just think the hair maybe a little to far.

Around a year ago Kim went lighter and I think it was a really lovely colour on her skin tone because she kept it darker at the roots which I think was great but I just think this was too light way to quickly.

That was the perfect colour on her skin tone, 

whilst I was googling images i actually discovered that she has actually toned her blonde down so it is a lot less yellow now which it definetly looks a lot better but it is still very light on her skin tone and you can obviously tell it's not her natural colour.

If you just look at her a few weeks ago in the picture below her hair looks much nicer and the black definetly suited her skin tone.

I respect Kim for what she does and who she is but I wanna know your opinion on her latest hair look and also I wanna know if you like they's Chit-Chat post about the latest celebrity beauty and fashion crazes.

Thank you so much for reading,

PetShopBowl.co.uk Review

Hello Readers,

Today's post is going to be a review of PetShopBowl.co.uk 

I discovered PetShopBowl.co.uk on The Blogger Programme, they sent me this box of goodies to review. I spoke to a lovely lady from PetShopBowl.co.uk and we spoke about my dog Scrappys food, special food requirments and so on.

 This was a box that was put together with thought, care and they fully listenened to everything I said about Scrappy. I am extremely thankful for everything I was given, now let's get on to the box! 

 As you can see Scrappy is extremly excited to get this huge box open! 

Everything came in a big brown box and inside it was full of stuffing that kept everything in perfect condition and most of all safe. 

I had to take a sneaky peek before showing Scrappy, I was just too excited to see everything inside.

Inside the box was five products, I will go into detail of each product further into this post.

Scrappy really liked everything in the box, it was all very exciting for him! 

So the first item I picked out of the box was

LILY'S KITCHEN- Breakfast Crunch (Chicken with Turkey- Fruit and Yoghurt) 

Link- Lily's Kitchen

This is extremly good food for dogs it's full of natural ingredients, it works wonders for there teeth and it's easily digestible for there little tummys. What I love most about this is that the brand themselves believe that pets should eat proper food by that they mean, wholesome,natural ingredients which smell and taste delicious. I also think that the size of the food is good because there small enough to give as treats rather than a meal if you want to. I was extremly happy to see they's in the box and I can tell you Scrappy was extremly happy as well. 

Scrappy was extremly happy to try they's out as soon as they were taken out of there packet, he chewed them up and there went five of them one after another. 

As I'm sure you can tell from the photograph above he was extremly excited about having one of them treats.

The next thing that was taken out of the box was,

Arden Grange- Crunchy Bites with Fresh Chicken (Naturally Hypoallergenic, wholesome dog treats)

Link- Arden Grange

We have had Arden Grange food before so we know that Scrappy really enjoys there foods and treats. 

I was happy to see they's in there because usually we give scrappy small sized treats and this was a real treat for him to have such a big treat. He has had one of them today and he really enjoyed it as you will be able to see by the photographs below! Another thing I like about this brand is yet again it is a big supporter of natural ingredients full of nutrients rather than artificial colours and flavours! 

I really like the re-usuable packaging of this because in experience it keep the treats fresh for a lot longer.

 

I think Scrappy was extra excited for this one, look at that tongue! 

The next product that was taken out of the box was,

Pedigree DENTASTIX- Fresh flavour 

Link- Dentastix

Scrappy has never had DENTASTIX's before, he was extremly happy to see those in there, I personally think they are great not just because they work wonders for Scrappys teeth but they are also green. I think they are a really cool thing to have in for Scrappy because I always say his breath stinks so hopefully they help take the edge of his stinky breath. They are suitable for dogs over 4 months which is totally fine for Scrappy because he is just over 2 years old! 

The pack comes with seven medium sized sticks inside.

Scrappy was yet again extremly happy to take this treat of me.

Of he went with his DENTASTIX and we weren't getting him back for a while. I think Scrappy will have one of they's every couple of days, he will be such a fatty after all of these treats! 

The last thing in the box was,

James Wellbeloved- Complete balanced wet dog food ( Turkey with rice and vegetables) 

Link- James Wellbeloved

Scrappy has had they's before and he really enjoys them, Scrappy usually has dry food so this was a real treat for him! He loves having a wet food meal every now and then, honestly he gobbles it down so fast I'm not sure he even chews it! This is Hypo-Allergenic and free from artificial colours, flavours and preservatives which Is great because Scrappy does have a sensitive tummy so all of they's naturally hypo- allergenic foods are great for him. 

Me and Scrappy received two 150g pouches, which is amazing because that is two meals for Scrappy.

As you can see Scrappy really enjoyed his tea last night and I'm positive he will do the same tonight! 

Scrappy has been well and truly spoiled by PetShopBowl.co.uk and I am extremly thankful for everything that was gifted to me and Scrappy and I can tell you he really enjoyed his huge food delivery! I would completely recommend using PetShopBowl.co.uk because the food comes extremly well packaged and I would have no worries about the state your going to get your products because mine came in perfect condition. I have to say my favourite thing about the hole package was that it was addressed to Beth and Scrappy, I mean is that not the cutest thing in the world!
