Thanks for your patience while I did some maintenance 🙂
It’s been awhile since I updated my 100 Happy Days project. I can’t believe it’s half way already!
I’ve noticed a definite trend though – food. Lots of food photos.
Anywho, here’s days 38-56
Today is World Ovarian Cancer Day! Along with thousands of individuals around the globe, I have pledged to get the word out today about the most serious woman’s cancer to 5 people I care about. You are one of these!
Here is what I want to be sure you know:

Disclaimer – I was given some Para’Kitoâ„¢ goodies to review. All wording and opinions, unless noted, are my own.
Now mozzies are probably something you think aren’t a big issue in Tasmania, especially as the weather gets colder but I can assure you I have sported some monster bites over winter in previous years. And don’t get me started on summer mozzies 😉 We’ve tried lots of different solutions to deter these buzzy pests but most smell vile and aren’t natural which isn’t a great option when you have littlies (or are pregnant).
Para’Kito™ provides a great alternative to those stinky, chemical sprays and roll-ons. Para’Kito™ pellets diffuse a blend, of 7 essential oils extracted from plants, which naturally prevents from mosquito bites effects (itching and irritation). The pellets can be used in the range of cute wristbands or clips.
The wristbands come in a range of colours and limited edition prints
and the clips also come in a range of funky colours
Now I’ll be honest, I haven’t actually had a chance to use the wristbands myself because as soon as they arrived Miss K pinched the Hawaii print one and insisted on wearing it night and day – even to her swimming lessons (which lead her to pinching the blue one because she left the other in her swim bag). We did notice that during the 15 days she wore it the number of bites on her legs and arms was significantly less than normal. I do have one of the clips attached to my bag.
So how do these wristbands and clips work & what are the benefits?
Looking forward to wearing these over the summer (if I can hide them from Miss K) as I really hate mozzie bites and we’ll hopefully have our new BBQ area set up (that’s another post in itself) so I plan on spending some lazy summer evenings outside and relaxing in the hammock.
Now onto the giveaway – one lucky reader can win themself a Para’Kitoâ„¢ Family pack, valued at $90.80. The family pack includes 2 wristbands (with 2 refills), 1 clip (with 2 refills) and a 2 pack of refills.
Enter via the rafflecopter below. ENTRY IS OPEN TO AUSTRALIAN RESIDENTS ONLY.
Giveaway closes 18th May 2014.
I can’t believe were nearly into May. Where has the last month gone?
Here’s some more of my 100 Happy Days snaps (taking us to day 37)
and now you have that earworm (no idea what I’m talking about, check this video, you’re welcome), here’s the next 9 days of my 100 Happy Days (days 19 to 27).
Continuing on with the 100 Happy Days, here the next 10 things that make me happy
So that brings us to 18 days and still going strong. How are you going with your 100 Happy Days?
Disclaimer: I was given a Touch by We Vibe to review. All opinions are my own.
Seriously, who doesn’t love a bit of RHPS
Today I’m sharing about another great We-Vibe product –the Touch. Like the Thrill, which I reviewed recently, this is a solo toy but it has so many more uses than just a personal pleasure device. We’ll get to that in a moment. First down to all the Touchy details 😉
It’s hand sized at just a smidge over 10cm long and 4.5cm wide.
It’s waterproof so you can use it in the bath or shower for some wet & wild fun 😉
The Touch has up to two hours of play on a single charge and the low-power alert tells you when to recharge. Using your iDevice power plug and the supplied cord, recharging takes around 90 minutes.
There are 8 vibration modes (low, medium, high, ultra, tease, wave, pulse and cha-cha) all controlled with one button at the base of the Touch. It’s also pretty quiet.
Made from body-safe silky soft medical grade silicone, it’s free from phthalates, latex and BPA but, as with all silicone toys, it is recommended that you only use a water based lube. If you want to find out why you shouldn’t use silicone lube with silicone toys, check out this video by lubzilla (probably not suitable for work or around kids as the other suggested videos are of a more adult nature). It’s also easy to clean – just use soap and water.
The Touch is for external use only and comes with a 1 year warranty.
I’ve also found the Touch is great for neck and shoulder massages. The tapered end makes it great for pinpointing sore spots and the rounded side is good for a general massage.
It doesn’t look like a vibrator so you can leave it out on the bedside table without it drawing too many questions (what? I forgot about it and where I’d left it one night). It’s a cute paperweight that doubles as a neck massager 😉
Like the Thrill it also comes with a cute little satin bag to keep it in and keep it dust/fluff/cat hair free. Makes it nice and portable too for traveling.
Would I recommend the Touch by We-Vibe? You bet. It’s a great little hand sized toy with the vibrations of a bigger toy. Oh and it’s purple.
And another month has gone by. Can you believe it’s nearly April already?!
So this month I achieved a few things.
Anyway it’s 8 days into the 100 Happy Days project. I’m enjoying finding the little things (& big things) that make me happy and make me smile. So for your viewing pleasure 🙂
You can follow along with my pictures by checking out my Instagram account and check out other people’s Happy by following the hashtag #100HappyDays
I’m inspired. Jodie @ Polka Dot Creative has inspired me to see if I can find something each day for 100 days that makes me happy. Could you be happy for 100 days in a row? It can be anything big or small.
I’ll be sharing my 100 days over on Instagram using the hashtag #100HappyDays and then blogging them once a week.
You can read more over at 100 Happy Days and if it sounds like something for you sign up. Let me know if you do so I can cheer you on 😀
So bring on the next 100 days and bring on the Happy 😀
