Coach Kira Crossbody Bag - Review

As you may have noticed from my Instagram page I love my bags, and when I see that my favourite brands are having sales I can get a little excited and before you know it its in the basket and I'm checking out.

My new purchase last month was this Coach Kira Crossbody bag in Fern, its made of soft pebbled leather has two zipped pockets and credit card slots. I love that is has a long crossbody strap and a small detachable wrist strap which means you can use it as a small clutch bag.

I opted for the fern colour as I wanted something different and I'm trying to avoid having too many black and navy bags, the fern clour is a subtle green perfect for spring and summer. The Kira bag has a middle pocket, which I don't tend to use as I don't like the gapping look it gives the bag, other than that the bag is nice and small and compact, perfect for shopping or when I'm on the go.

Kira crossbody normally retails at £175, but thankfully I managed to pick mine up from coach online when they had a sale for only £98.00 which was perfect.

Here are the bag features in more details:

• Polished pebble leather
• Four-credit card slots
• Double zip closure, fabric lining
• Center open compartment
• Detachable wrist strap
• Detachable long strap with 23" drop for shoulder or crossbody wear
• 7 1/2" (L) x 4" (H) x 1 3/4" (W)

Joseph Joseph Toothbrush Holder

I wouldn’t normally go out of my way to review a toothbrush holder but this is amazing, since buying it has made a great addition to my bathroom.

My toothpaste and floss now have a perfect place and we each have a designated place for our toothbrushes making my bathroom look nice and tidy, I find nothing more annoying than toothbrushes and toothpaste scattered all over the bathroom shelf, so happy this is a thing of the past. 

What I really like about this holder is the six separate compartments, it also comes apart which makes it easy to clean. I purchased mine from next for £16, it is also available from Argos for £15.

Pure Water With ZeroWater

The amount of water that we are recommended to drink each day seems to change depending on who you talk to but the NHS recommend drinking around 2 litres which is the equivalent of 6-8 glasses each day.This is relatively achievable for most people, but if you normally reach for a glass of tap water, you might not have thought about the amounts of lead, heavy metals, or chromium you might be ingesting 6-8 times a day.

ZeroWater is the only water filter brand that delivers the equivalent to purified bottled water into your home. Developed with a pour-through system and an aim to deliver the best filtration possible with their premium five-stage ion exchange technology, this filter removes virtually all total dissolved solids (TDS), a claim which no other filter jug or dispenser can put their name to.

And that’s not all, this breakthrough filtration system from ZeroWater is certified by NSF International for the reduction of Lead and other heavy metals such as Chromium 3 & 6 and Mercury. It also removes 99% of all fluoride from your water. The Good Housekeeping Research Institute has also revealed that ZeroWater removes more total contaminants from water than a regular Brita filter.

As someone who prefers to drink filtered water, I found this really intriguing and wanted to try the water filter for myself, I tested my tap water which was extremely high in contamination, I was even more surprised when I tested my Brita filtered water which read high in the yellow zone, but the ZeroWater filter watered measured really low just entering into the moderate dark blue zone which was good enough for me. I'm really pleased with my ZeroWater filter and will be using this filter from now on. ZeroWater filters start from £24.99, check out the website to find a filter which suits your needs https://zerowater.co.uk.

JML Pill-O-Pad

Whilst I was sitting at home recovering from foot surgery I discovered Pill O Pad on QVC, which is a support cushion for iPads, kindles, books etc, as I use my iPad quite a lot so I thought this would make viewing my iPad much easier and stable so I immediately placed my order.

I really like that it offers three different viewing angles to optimise your desired view. I have used it every day since buying it, it’s super lightweight and sturdy leaving my hands completely free giving a relaxing viewing experience it also takes the strain off my neck from looking downwards although some times I prop it up on a cushion to make it a little bit higher. The Pill O Pad is portable and can be used anywhere, it also has a handy side pocket to store glasses or some earphones, it does have a removable zip cover but it is recommended to spot clean only. This is available to but from QVC online and JML online for £19.99.

Nails Inc 3 Piece Leopard Print Collection

I love nails inc polishes so I was very excited to try one of the new collections at QVC, In the collection, was have Chalcot Street Nail Makeup (warm nude), Montpeiler Walk Nailpure (beige nude) and Pawfect Attitude crackle effect polish.

I first applied Chalcot Street and Montpeiler Walk Nailpure on different nails followed by Pawfect Attitude to create the leopard effect, the Pawfect Attitude has a Matt finish so I followed with Retinol 45 second topcoat to give a fabulous shine. I love this look, Nails inc nail varnishes are quick drying and easy look go on effortlessly.

This collection is available to buy from QVC for £26 pounds or check out Nails inc online.
