Mishmash.

Hey guys!

As the title suggests, this is going to be a bit of rambly, all over the place type post! 

First up, a little review! Now, I recently went to the doctors with an awful pain in my back/shoulder blade type area. It hurt whenever I moved, or took a breath, it was just horrible! (Being the slight hypochondriac that I am, I was really paranoid there was a problem with my lungs or something!) 

After a quick examination, the lovely doctor told me that It's probably a trapped nerve under my ribs, as a result of the 7 (yes,7!), weeks I've had this stupid cough/cold! 

So, I was glad it wasn't anything too serious, but annoyed that my ridiculously long cough/cold still seems to be living on, and creating even more problems! Sorry for the moan, but I really am so sick of feeling ill :(

Anyway! Feeling sorry for myself wont help, so on with the review!

Pretty much the only things  that have been easing the pain are painkillers and lovely warm baths :)

This gave me a proper chance to try something I received in my November Glossybox.the Dead Sea Spa Magik Bath Salts.

These are 100% natural, contain no additives and have a whole host of minerals inside them. They can be used to relieve aching joints, and are gentle enough to be used by the most sensitive of skins, including those with dry skin conditions, such as eczema. 

I had only tried a handful of the salts before, so poured the remainer of the packet into my bath to test out. No, as a bath junkie, I am always slightly disappointed with things that don't foam up, smell lovely and change the colour of my bath water! 

The Dead Sea Spa Magik bath salts do none of those things, but they do make a very soothing, relaxing bath and for sensitive skin, I bet they're amazing!

They did relieve some of the ache in my shoulder, but I'm not sure whether that's just because I had a nice hot soak.  For anyone with dry or sensitive skin though, I would highly recommend them. 

You can get these for £5.95 from Amazon.

On to the second part of this rambly post! My Mum makes and occasionally sells things, such a doorstops, catnip mice, pillows, owls etc.

My Mum has recently set up a blog here and I would be soso grateful if you could take the time to check it out, and maybe have a cheeky follow ;)

She's pretty much allergic to anything technological, so her posts are a bit lacking in pictures and stuff at the mo, but I shall be helping her out next week so expect more lovely pics and things!

It literally takes her about half an hour to type a paragraph, bless her!

We're also thinking of setting up a little online shop to sell her bits and bobs, I know theres quite a few of these around anyway, but surely that must mean there's a demand for them? She's got tonnes of different coloured and patterened material etc, so she'd be able to customise them for people!

She's posted about how she's having trouble sewing towelling, so if anyone's got any tips on that can they let her know please :) Thanks very much!

Okay, so the last rambly little bit, I promise! I was just wondering if anyone else has 'The 30 Day Shred'? I bought it the other day, but due to my stupid shoulder haven't been able to do it! It's so annoying, for once I've finally got the time, and the motivation to do, but it hurts too much! 

I tried it once, and I have to say I'm not warming to the woman! I've got one of the Ministry of Music Pump It Up ones, and the man on that is so nice! Maybe I'll alternate between them, so that I don't get too annoyed with the woman!

Has anyone tried the 30 Day Shred? How did it work out for you?

Sorry for the major ramble! Hope everyone is well :)
