Koko dairy free product review

Hello guys and girls, welcome back to my blog.

Today I will be reviewing some products that were kindly sent from Koko dairy free . This is a company that specialises in coconut milk. 

They kindly send me the following products to review:

Two 1L cartons of the original milk

One 1L carton of the light milk

One 1L carton of the chocolate flavoured 

Three 250ml cartons of the strawberry milk 

Three 250ml cartons of the chocolate milk. 

My favourite of the collection sent has to be the chocolate milk it is amazing, it has the most amazing aroma to it of a mixture of the coconut and the chocolate. It smells awesome. The taste and flavour go so so well together and it made me feel that I was in the Caribbean drinking Malibu on the beach. I also tried it warmed up as a healthy hot chocolate which was Also amazing. I sell have some of it left so I want to make a frappe with it using Ice.  

The original and light milk I've been using with my slimming shake as an alternative to Normal milk, it really gave them a flavour boost and made them taste creamier, and it was also healthy which is a bonus. 

Even on cereal I loved them, I was cheeky and used the strawberry milk while cooking last week. It made the buns taste absolutely Devine and also used it in the buttercream to give an alternative flavouring. Unfortunately the cakes got eaten that fast I didnt get a chance to take a photo to put on here.

Help: Beautify skin Daily jelly supplements for skin review

Hello girls and guys 

Today's review is of a product that I was kindly sent from a lovely company called works with water.  I was kindly sent their beautify skin Daily jelly supplements for skin, these are in delicious apple flavour. 

I was sent 3 boxes of them to try and each box contains 14 sticks, it is recommended to have 1-2 sticks a day to get the best results. 

I started taking them the day after they arrived which was around 2 weeks ago now. So far I've noticed that my skin is looking far more brighter around my eyes which I really struggled with dark circles after nearly 3 years of night shifts at work.  My skin is also starting to look more subtle also and feeling more hydrated. 

The pr that was with the samples states that help:beautiful skin contains PracerAGE, which is patented blend of marine collagen, resveratrol, CoEnzymesQ10, aloe Vera and vitamin c. It states that the above ingredients are natural and that have been proven to deliver anti-ageing skin benefits to maintain a youthful and glowing complexion. 

You can find more information at

 A box of 14 jellies retails at £22.94 

I was kindly send a beautiful pocket mirror also within my package which will come in handy to pop into my bag. 

*disclaimer-these products were sent to me free of charge to review*  

Sorry for the lack of posts

Hello guys and girls 

Just a few apologies for the lack of posts the last few days. I've had a pretty rough time in hospital including an operation. I've had a diagnostic laporscopy where they used a telescope and camera to look inside my tummy, they removed some areas of endometriosis which they said may have been causing the pain. I still have a catheter in place because I can't wee so it's not much fun tbh.

I'm still on the iv paracetamol and oramorph, been given an iv drug called cyclazyine which is an antisickness drug. 

My urine output isn't all that great either even with a catheter it's still really hurting. 

Haven't really got much to say at the moment apart from all i want to do it rest and sleep which I'm not getting much of.

Hopefully I'll get to do a full update very soon

Thank you

Guess where I am- 3rd hospital visit

Well I'm sure you can all guess where I am. I am back in hospital again, this time I am a lot worse than I was before. 

I went to my gp surgery after starting to feel unwell over the weekend but not severe enough to be seen while I was up in the village. So cut a long story short I got to my gp yesterday at around 4pm I felt in pain but well enough to drive myself there and back. He checked my observations and said that i was close to becoming severely dehydrated so he rung the medical admitting doctors at the main hospital who said I was to come in as soon as I could get there so I went to see my best friends parents to see if I could get a lift to the hospital as my mum doesn't drive and my dad didn't answer his phone. So I went home and had a shower and phyl came and picked me up at half 6. Got to A & E at around 7 then the waiting began. I was seen by the triage nurse around 30 minutes after I arrived and she did all the observations again and put me in a que to be seen my the medical doctors. Then I started to be sick. 6 times I was sick between 8-10 before they moved me into the cubicles  where I was given some oral morphine then was left until 11 when they found me a bed on a ward. Then the nurse realised that I hadn't had any blood taken or a cannula put in so she had to quickly do it before going upstairs to the ward.  To out it lightly I had a shocking nights sleep because of the stupid amount of pain and sickness.. 

This morning I'm still been sick and I'm super super tired and in pain so have to wait for a CT scan to be done so they can look a bit more easier..

I shall keep you all updated over the coming days. 

Thank you for reading

Yes I'm still here haha, hopefully been moved to a quieter ward or a ward without shouting later, it's so loud but on the plus side I've got a chance to order my subscription boxes (check out my other post) and contact loads of companies for different review products so far I've had quiet a few yes emails back and I know some companies send products straight out with out replying. 

I've managed to update my Facebook page but need to change it slightly when I get on my laptop. I've found an awesome blog that tells you about loads of different beauty boxes etc. 

It's called which beauty box uk 

The link is 

http://whichbeautyboxuk.com

Sorry me annoying you lot again,

This afternoon I've subscribed to a few new subscription beauboxes including the GlowwBox

This is predominantly for girls with darker skin tones but I thought I would give it a try as it was £2 for the first box plus £3.95 for P+P using the promotional code SQUADLOVE

I'm looking forward to reviewing this box in the near coming future, the review will be up on this blog when it arrives 

Here is my referral link so check it out

The second beauty box I have subscribed to is 

Glossybox 

My referral link for this on is 

https://www.glossybox.co.uk/referal?CI=MzM0MDA4

I paid £13.25 for this box and I am so so excited about receiving this in the post. 

The next subscription is Birchbox 

I paid £12.95 for this one. I will probably end up deleting each subscription after the first box if I don't enjoy them.

I have also subscribed to degustabox again for £4.99 instead of £12.99 so once that arrives at the end of the month the it shall go up also!

Thank you for reading again

Hospital blog day 3

Hello ladies and gents 

I'm back again with another blog, still in hospital 😩😩 and on day 3 now. 

I feel absolutely sick, I've been poked,prodded  and needles poked into me far to much. I know it's for my own good but it's making me feel worse if I'm honest! 

So today I've just laid in bed if I'm honest. I went out to the shower this morning. But nearly collapsed so been in bed since. I'm feeling so so I'll. My back and my tummy are hurting so much I just want to get better. 😔😔 

Right now I just want my boyfriend here for a cuddle. He makes everything better.

I've managed to email loads of companies for products to review or some samples. I've had a few more say yes today which is great so my blog will be looking good again soon and this time I promise to keep it up this time. 

I know the post is short but there's only so much you can write about when in here. 

Take care and speak to you all soon

Lauren xox 

Dinner today 😳
