I have to share this. Immediately. This product is absolutely amazing … its blown me away to be honest. I know, quite the statement for just a humble moisturiser. But when you have a dry-skin type, finding a good fix is like finding the perfect pair of jeans. Its rare. But I should warn you – this is no humble, innocent moisturiser. This magical potion is a little devil that could lure any dry skin type into a lifetime of committed use. Okay, so let me just go ahead and address the elephant in the room for those of you already…

The Kurio Smart laptop/tablet was offered to us to review at a time when I couldn’t have needed it more. With 4 children at home (ranging from 4 to 16) the tech needs and related issues within our household were beginning to get a little out of hand. The older two (12 & 16) had online homework and coursework coming out of their ears, and the younger two (4 & 9) were also starting to develop a reliance – much to my dislike, I might add – But after years of trying to fight todays incessant need for internet connection, I had…

Media Technologies Concept as a Video Wall Background

This post was inspired by reading Carl at A Blokes Eye View who wrote about his favourite TV shows. I’ve wanted to do something along those lines for some time and, as there’s so much good stuff on, a new golden age of television drama no less, now seems like the best time to do so. What am I watching and loving? Well I’m glad you asked that question… The Wire. Okay, so it’s old but I never saw it first time round so it’s all new to me. Sky Atlantic have repeated it from the start and we’re up to season 4. Each…

Let me begin by saying this is not a promotional review in any way. I paid to rent this movie and as such I can say what I like. Innit. So, What We Do In The Shadows. What’s it about? Well it’s about 89 minutes long, and if you thought the New Zealand movie industry was just Peter Jackson and hobbits then maybe it’s time to think again. Actually my sources tell me that Peter Jackson’s next movie is again based on a children’s book, and will also be split into three movies. The Very Hungry Caterpillar will star Andy…

I went to see Legend with that Tom Hardy fella. He hogged the middle arm rest and pinched most of my Pepsi. Terrible joke, sorry. Anyhow, where was I. Oh yes. Tom Hardy. I recently had a glut of Tom Hardy films. Somehow, due to LoveFilm and Amazon Prime conspiring we’d seen three in a week. There was The Dark Knight Rises, where he sounds like an asthmatic Kenneth Williams; The Drop, where he rescues a dog from a bin, and Locke which is a film about a concrete expert on a phone while driving. FOR 90 MINUTES. As such…

Fifty Shades of Grey

I definitely judge a book by its cover. I can’t help it. So when I saw 50 Shades of Grey in Waterstones right before a beach holiday, I grabbed it straight away. I liked the cover and I like the colour Grey. I grabbed two copies in fact – One for me, and one for my friend who was away travelling at the time. I popped it in the post to her completely oblivious to the nature of the literary enlightening I was dishing out! I remember her texting me, I think the message read something along the lines of…
