Tommee Tippee’s Closer to Nature Hand Serum provides up to 6 hours of germ protection, making it perfect for cleaning your hands before making up baby’s feeds and after changing nappies. It’s also alcohol free so is kind to your skin.

Clean to clean technology

ü Active for up to 6 hours

ü Alcohol free

ü Kind to skin

ü Taint free

ü Use to clean your hands before making up feeds and after nappy changing

ü At home and on the go

Clean hands, protected baby

With a newborn baby in the house, mums can feel like they spend all day, cleaning and sterilising surfaces and themselves which can really take the toll on their hands. Knowing Byotrol had a technology which sterilised hands without the need for alcohol, Tommee Tippee asked the scientists at Byotrol to develop a serum which in addition to the revolutionary germ barrier Byotrol provides, is also kind to skin. It’s win, win for mums.

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Surface Spray

Tommee Tippee’s Closer to Nature Surface Spray kills and controls germs for up to 24 hours and it is safe to use on kitchen and bathroom surfaces and all nursery items such as high chairs and baby baths.

Clean to clean technology

ü Active for up to 24 hours

ü Proven to kill MRSA, E Coli, Listeria, Salmonella, Campylobacter, Staphyloccocus and Candida albicans (which can cause thrush)

ü Alcohol and bleach free

ü Taint free

ü Safe to use on all food preparation, kitchen and bathroom surfaces and all nursery items such as high chairs, baby baths, changing mats and small plastic toys

Hygiene fit for a baby

Good hygiene practices are never more important than when there is a newborn in the home as even though mum is well versed in keeping her kitchen and food preparation surfaces clean, with a newborn all bets are off. That’s why the team at Byotrol worked with Tommee Tippee to launch the Closer to Nature Surface Spray which is specifically designed to help parents incorporate good hygiene practices into their baby feeding routine.

Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Surface Spray and Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Hand Serum both contain Byotrol, Byotrol is a ground breaking hygiene ingredient unlike any other ingredient on the market. Most people don’t realise that traditional cleaning products such as bleach and alcohol based hand gels stop working as soon as they dry allowing bacteria and viruses to grow back and multiply within minutes, however products containing Byotrol leave an invisible barrier not only killing 99.9% of germs but continuing to work for up to 24 hours.

With the winter flu season approaching people are becoming a great deal more aware of preventative measure to protect themselves and their families, especially children against illness.

The Byotrol ingredient is found in a number of products which I thought may be of interest to you, this includes Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Surface Spray and Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature Hand Serum which are both fantastic products to protect children from bacteria and disease that can lead to illness this winter.

Byotrol - the ground- breaking hygiene ingredient

So why is Byotrol better than any other hygiene technology out there ?

• It's powerful - it kills 99.9999% of germs fast
• It's flexible - it kills bacteria, viruses and fungi
• It's gentle and harmless to you and your family
• It's long-lasting - it keeps on working long after others have stopped 

Since using Tommee Tippee i have stopped using all other hand serums and cleaning sprays as i love the smell of  Tommee Tippee hand serum it has a lovely smell and doesnt have that horrible cucumber smell or Alcohol smell which i dislike, I now take it everywhere with me.
I like the Tommee Tippee cleaning spray as it has no strong perfume smells which i find can be to much when cleaning Davinas high chair, i also use it for the bath becauase Davina has ezemra i worry about cleaning the bath with strong cleaning products, Tommee Tipppee spray is none odour so i no longer have to worry.

Review: Alidi Foods & Drinks

Aldi

Reviews

The only time i shopped at Aldi was when i was a little younger and was still living at home, since then i moved into my own place and i have no local Aldi.

The lovely people from Aldi sent me and my children a lovely hamper of there products to try and since then i now pop into Aldi when on my way to visit my mom at least once a week.

I was sent a lovely hamper with a selection Aldi brand products here is what we was sent and what we tought :

Diplomat Red Label Original Round Tea Bags

 These Red Label tea bags are a special blend of fine teas from some of the world’s best tea plantations, producing a rich, full flavoured and delicious cup of tea.

Tea is a natural source of beneficial antioxidants, which can form an important part of a healthy diet.

These tea bags were recommended by the Daily Mirror and featured in our popular ‘Tea or Gin?’ advert.

This pack contains four individual foil wrapped packs of 160 tea bags to ensure  your tea bags stay fresh.

I love my tea and round Aldi Red Label tea bags to taste just like any name brand tea bags i have ever tasted, They are packed with flavour.

Ive noticed some tea bag brand i have used take a while to brew unlike Red Label tea bags, as i poured the water over the tea bag i didn't have to stir its as much as i normally it was in with the milk and out with the tea bag.

 Moser Roth Chocolate

Milk Chocolate & Milk Chocolate Caramel



Moser Roth ( Milk Chocolate Caramel ) is a delicious treat for connoisseurs of sophisticated gourmet chocolate. This chocolate is made with the finest quality ingredients, carefully prepared according to a classic recipe.

The combination of smooth milk chocolate and the crunchy texture of small pieces of caramel create an unforgettable eating experience.

Each pack contains five individually wrapped bars.

 

Moser Roth (Milk Chocolate) chocolate lovers will enjoy the creamy taste combined with the subtle flavours of selected cocoa.

I really like Moser Roth chocolate it is so delicious and creamy, my favourite is the Milk chocolate with caramel pieces which added extra texture and flavour to the chocolate.

The Moser Roth Chocolate range has been recommended by BBC Good Food.

Passions Hand cooked Potato chips

(Sea Salt and Crushed Black Pepper)

Passions Hand cooked Crisps were awarded Gold at the Great Taste Awards 2011.

Passion hand cooked potato crisps are hand cooked only in sunflower oil, with no Artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

They use the very best potatoes choosing a wonderful varieties and sourcing them exclusively from Irish farms. Each one is sliced and gently hand cooked in a converted castle in the lush green Irish countryside.

I was sent Sea salt and crushed black pepper to try but I'm not a big fan of pepper as I find it a bit spicy on my tongue, but I had a taste any way.

The texture and quality of the potato crisps was great and full of flavour, as i said before there not the type of flavour i would normally pick but alot of people may like pepper. I will be trying a few of there other flavours, I will let you know how yummy they are.

Del Rivo Orange Juice

Del Rivo Orange Juice came out on top against the brand leader Tropicana and juices from Innocent, Marks and Spencer and Lidl. Which? magazine said: “This was the top-scoring juice overall, with many tasters commenting that it tasted just like a fresh orange. They loved the flavour and texture and thought it had just the right amount of sweetness.”

Del Rivo Orange Juice is delicious and smooth  and has not bits, its so sweet and refreshing perfect for those early mornings or even after dinner.

I found it was no different to any other name brands i have ever tasted.

I am now starting to buy more from Aldi stores on a weekly basis, as the quality of there products are excellent and a good value for money.
