Reviewed : Walkers Crisps Hoops and Crosses

There's been a little monkey living with me for a while now, his name is Walker. I was sent him and a packet of Walkers Crisps new crisp sensation 'Hoops and Crosses' and I've since been buying them every two or so weeks. It would be more but a girl can't eat too many crisps can she? Ok, that's a total lie but shhh...

Before I could take a picture of the Roast Beef flavour that I was sent, they had been eaten! Yep, all gone. I have since bought the prawn cocktail flavour ones which I wasn't overly keen on admittedly, the roast beef ones are very yummy. I haven't tried the salt and vinegar ones as I'll admit this is not my favourite flavour. I'd love to see these in a cheese flavour or pickled onion *drools*

Anyway the important thing with these is that they are wholegrain, there's no artificial flavours or preservatives and they contain 30% less fat than a regular packet of crisps! They have become my new work lunch snack but they would be perfect for kid's lunch boxes too.

P.S. I named the monkey Walker because... I wanted to!

Disclaimer - I was sent the crisps (and Walker) for an honest review, which I always do for my blog reviews.

mypure review: Akin Skin Care Pure Radiance Organic Rosehip Oil

I had bad acne as a teenager, actually no, I 'thought' I had bad acne but really it wasn't as bad as I thought it had been. But at the time I had it 'the worst ever' - such a drama queen! I still have slight acne scars on my face which I am very conscious of, they also flare up when I'm ill. It's like a reminder when I'm feeling rough that "Hey, your skin is crappy too". Gee, thanks life!

When looking at products to review I had my eye on A'kin Rosehip Oil and I'd noticed in the other reviews that people who had adult acne scars had seen an improvement. They also noted that it had made their skin brighter and lessened the darker skin patches under the eyes. When I first starting using this I put 2-3 drops in my hand and just massaged it over my face, obviously be careful around the eye area. If like me you can be a bit clumsy then apply in front of a mirror. The oil is bright orange and I naturally feared I might end up looking like I'd been tangoed! That didn't happen by the way.

Music Monday: Alisha's Attic - I am I feel

Sometimes songs follow me about and this week I have found that this Alisha's Attic song has been following me. I am I feel was released in 1996, bet that makes you feel old ;-) The sisters, Shelly and Karen have since gone onto write many songs for other artists including Liberty X, The Sugababes, Kylie Minogue and more.

The Friday File #40 - Leonardo DiCaprio

I have a feeling that this choice might split the fans of my Friday File choices but here me out first. I don't really like the older Leo, I'm more 'in love' with the younger Leo. Especially Leo from Romeo + Juliet.

Of his films I can list my favourites like this; What's Eating Gilbert Grape, Romeo + Juliet, The Man in the Iron Mask, The Beach, Catch Me If You Can, Gangs of New York, The Aviator, Blood Diamond, The Departed, Revolutionary Road, Shutter Island, Inception, Django Unchained and The Great Gatsby.

Notice no mention of Titanic!

He will next be on screen in The Wolf of The Wall Street. It was reported this week that Leo has turned down the chance of being in Star Wars VII but other Friday File members Ryan Gosling and Zac Efron could be in it...
