Teissiere 0% Grenadine - Review

As part of a campaign for BzzAgent I was sent a bottle of Teissiere 0% Grenadine to try.

What's this then? Grenadine with sugar, no way.. YES!

I was a little dubious because grenadine is know for it's sickly sweet sugar kick, I have to say this didn't disappoint and had a fraction of the calories.

The bottle suggests having it as a drink with water, but for £3.50 ish, I would rather enjoy this with cocktails or prosecco. If I want cordial I will go out and Ribena or vimto.

                                

 

This is especially lovely with chilled soda water or lemonade, nice and simple whilst also sweet and satisfying.

 

                                

This also makes a really refreshing cocktail of vodka, orange juice, Teissiere 0%, lemonade and ice.

I would recommend this as an essential item for your cocktail cupboard.

Freebies 9/08/2015 - 15/08/2015

Hi everyone,

Here's what I recieved over the last week. I have been so busy recently and haven't been that active in requesting samples and review items but now I have a little more time I am looking forward to getting back into the swing of it!

 

1. Oz Naturals Retinol Moisturiser - I got this as a review item from Oz Naturals - review to follow soon, please keep an eye out for it.

 2. InstaNatural Cellulite Cream - This is another item for me to review, I have tried the stretch mark and scar reduction cream from this brand and I was so impressed so I am expecting equally great things from this cream.

3. DHC X2 sample sachets - One is a conditioner and the other is a face mask. They are relatively small and look a long time to arrive but I will be giving them a go soon. To get these I just sent them an email asking if I could try something, I have seen this on many YouTube channels and blogs.

4. Elemis sachets -I wrote and asked if I could try their products and they sent me a good variety of different samples which I look forward to trying.

5. Aduna Baobab and Moringa sachets - I got these by completing my details on their website, they were offering the opportunity to try their moringa powder, baobab powder or both. This is such a great idea as it's not something I would usually choose, but as a free sample I am happy to try it and make my mind up based on my experience.

6. £3 off Tesco finest cheese and a further x3 £1 off coupons for friends and family. I was sent this as part of a campaign for Orchard at Tesco, similar to Bzz Agent, once I have tried some of the product I will need to write a review and complete campaign activity.

Phileas Fogg Snacks - My thoughts

In May I posted telling you all about the Bzz Campaign that I had been given where I got to try Phileas Foggs crisps.

Below are the different types of snacks that Phileas Fogg have on offer, I have written my thoughts in purple below each of the product descriptions.

American Style Bubble Chips

Twice cooked for a satisfyingly light crunch. Louisiana Sweet & Smokey BBQ and Cheese & New York Deli Relish flavours.

I loved the texture of these crisps, they were relatively thin and had a really satisfying crunch but yet a crumbly texture. Both flavours were great, but if I had to choose one it would be the Louisiana Sweet & Smokey flavour.

Mexican Style Taco Rolls

Inspired by the classic tortilla corn snacks of Mexico. Nacho Cheese & Jalapeno and Cool Sour Cream & Onion flavours.

These are a rolled tortilla chip and as such they have a great crunch to them also. They are great for dipping as you can get the dip in the tube. Again I enjoyed both of these flavours but my personal favourite was the Cool Sour Cream & Onion flavour.

Indonesian Style Crackers

Melt in the mouth Indonesian style crackers are irresistible and perfect for dipping. Aromatic Spices & Sweet Chilli flavour.

I am yet to try these, they will probably feature in my next weekly shop. They sound lovely as I adore anything sweet chili flavoured.

Spanish Style Corn Chips

Inspired by the passionate flavours of Spain, but given a unique Phileas Fogg twist. Smokey Chorizo & Red Pepper flavour.

These were a similar texture to a tortilla chip but perhaps just a little softer and flakier. I really liked the strong smokey flavour with the hint of pepper for sweetness.

Overall I have to say out of the whole range there is one type I haven't tried and all the rest get a thumbs up from me. Perfect for parties, and sharing or for not sharing.. The only suggestion I had to make these a little better was personal, 1 serving sized packets (I believe the large bags contain 5 servings), this would be beneficial for people like myself who sometimes lack self control around delicious savoury snacks.
