My honest review of the Nail sets 

These nails are the stick on back ones that impress have released previously and I have loved them, unfortunately these nails did come off quicker then I expected them too. I would on the next application add a nail glue so the nails lasted a longer duration. I loved the design and the overall presentation of each design with the "Love" in calligraphy writing to be my favourite. 

I would love if the impress sets would come with the nail glue also so anyone whom is doing heavier duties wont loose the nails so easily. However in some cases I have noticed that some people have used the nails and had no issue. It is my personal opinion but I do feel that the sets would be miles better with the nail glue included as it lasts for a longer time period on my nail and I feel more fabulous when my nails look manicured with a design.

Good Zebra

OUR STORY

Like its namesake animal, Good Zebra animal crackers are intentionally crafted to embrace the beauty of black + white, meaning there’s nothing shady about these little crackers. Since our spirit animal crackers are sweetened naturally with organic honey, they do, however, throw some serious shade on their refined-sugar-filled predecessors. They also up the nutrition ante with 12g of protein per serving. And unlike the caged circus animals of the past – our animals roam free and wild.

Behold: Spirit Animal Crackers.

All 11 animal cracker shapes are inspired by original tattoo art, each with a soul-touching message to enlighten, uplift and empower. Like tattoos, there is an intricacy and high-level of detail that goes into our ingredients and shapes. Every bite and flavor is a bold step away from sugary cookie- industry standards.

Made With Real Ingredients

Packed With 12g of Protein

Great To Share With Friends

Surprise your friends by bringing these tasty spirit animal crackers to the office or your next dinner party and they'll thank you for it!

Perfect For Traveling

The resealable zip-top bag is mess-free and perfect for traveling. Now you can have a healthy snack anywhere you go.

Chai

Think gingerbread with just a hint of spice.

Chai flavour was a new experience for everyone in my family. All saying the ginger really comes through and it has taste. Its very important to have tasty protein snacks for on the go, especially if training it is essential.

Lemon

Just the right amount of lemon. Our best seller!

I loved the lemony flavour crackers and so did my husband as they were so moorish that by the time you realise they are nearly done.....they are gone. (We shared a pack) so we highly recommend this lemony goodness. Fantastic flavour.

Vanilla

The animal crackers you ate as a kid, but better.

Vanilla was the winner in the taste challenge as the cracker was perfect to not only eat but to to have some texture. Just lightly crushed over porridge or frozen yogurt is divine. 

All in all my USA readers the good zebra company produce fantastic quality snacks. Especially if your training and find you are missing out, on that sweet treat you need just to have and be happy. The flavour's top quality and my husband enjoyed them so much, our house ended up like a scene from the film Mr & Mrs Smith. We could obtain our macros with these snacks and enjoy them without worrying. Plus you don't need to train to enjoy them, just everyone order a pack and see this flavoursome crispy cracker bring a smile to your day.

My spirit animal

Result: Zebra

The yin AND the yang of the animal kingdom, the yay and the nay, black and white—you're the whole package. The individual in the herd, you gallop to the beat of your own drum. Adversity? Simply zig-zag. That's what zebras would do. And by zebra, I mean You.​

These four rich crème colour shades are a permanent addition to the essie core range to add to the popularity and demand for essie nudes. These edgy shades are a modern take on a neutral palette.

Choose neutral shades with a distinctive point of view with the essie wild nudes collection.

I have to say the packaging of this collection was so beautiful, then it made me excited to see what the shades would be like. I was not disappointed at all with these lovely wild nude colours. They are pigmented even with one coat, apply flawlessly and dry with a beautiful true to shade colour finish. They are versatile shades that can be mixed with other shades from Essie, to brighten or have a neutral look depending on the event your attending. 

As the sun was shining I decided to do some nail art, taping off half the nail then using each shade having the glitter tip to really pop the colour. I love the effect and was impressed by the longevity of this collection with no chips or need to touch up the polish. Fantastic collection and this is the first part of my Essie series. I will have a review and more nail art with the vibrant new Gel Couture shades plus highlight four of the treatment polishes for brittle nails with tips on great nail health.

Sleek monofilament wig - Honey

- Wearing the Hair Couture in Honey 

My thought's : 

I have very thin hair and bald area's on my scalp, which is a major change from long thick curly hair. I however always think it could be worse, so I began to think of ways to improve my apperence. 

As being a young woman and having obvious hair loss can knock your confidence. I started looking for cover up's to alternatives just to help me feel feminine and happier about myself again.

Hair extensions seemed the most obvious option. However I do think that bonded extensions at the current time are well beyond my price range. So I started looking into clip in hair and wigs, finding alot more choice available. After doing my research and seeing the quality of Sleek hair via the website. I picked blonde as I wanted a vast change to my current hair and as I cannot dye my hair, this is the nearest alternative. 

My thought's on the Sleek Hair Couture wig are very positive in that everything from the packaging, hair quality and colour etc, is done in such a professional manner it's the high end of wig's and hair. I felt confident wearing the wig and whilst the strap's took some getting used to, the more i wore it the easier it became to adjust. I would advise using a wig band if you have baby hairs like myself and have to keep tucking it behind your ear. This helps keep the hair flat and made applying the wig so much easier with less need to adjust. 

I would highly recommend and Im currently saving for my second, as they are worth the money and I feel amazing wearing this wig. It's definitely boosted my confidence and the compliments ive recieved have been so uplifting. I cant thank Sleek enough for allowing me this fabulous opportunity
