These pads have been an absolute god send, because I have been having a really bad flare up of cystic acne lately and nothing was helping. The hydro-glo peel pads are a little pricey but if you break it down you only need to use them once or twice a week and there are 50 pads in the jar so they will last you a good 6months to a year. These pads are a professional skin resurfacing peel treatment but on a pad so they are really easy to use and they do not need a special lotion or cream to neutralise the peel all you need is cool water.

What perfect image say about their Hydro-glo peel pads -
A professional strength anti ageing peel treatment on pre soaked cotton towelettes. Formulated as a convenient and easy to use peel pad, specifically designed to visible reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. Unique skin lightening delivery system combined with natural botanical extracts provides many skin benefiting properties to deliver professional results.
• key ingredients: lactic acid, mandelic acid , glutathione and kojac acid.
• enhanced with Papaya extracts, bearberry extract, liquorice extract and pineapple extract.
• visibly brightens skins natural appearance.
• targets dark spots and uneven skin tone.
• exfoliates dead skin cells, improving skin colour, texture and clarity.
• reduces the appearance of scars and discolouration.

I would have to agree with their claims as I have seen results in my skins texture,feel and even the look of my skin looks healthier and my cystic acne has decreased a lot and the sun spot have considerably faded.

When I first applied the pad to my face in a circular motion I did feel a tingling but nothing to painful and definitely less painful than peels I have had in a salon. When I have applied it for approximately 1 min and take a look at the pad it's shocking to see how much dirt is on your face even after cleansing my face beforehand, I leave it on my skin for a good 2 minute before flushing it my face with cool water to neautralise the peel. I would highly recommend this peel to everyone who has skin issues such as acne, sun damage, wrinkles and fine lines you won't be disappointed.

Innoolight indoor starry string lights





After installing a closet maid shelving system in our bedroom for some additional shelving and hanging space. But unfortunately it seemed to look really clinical and didn't seem to blend in with the rooms decor, so I was on the hunt for something to help blend the shelving into the rooms decor.

I had a few ideas floating around but eventually decided on a set of fairy lights, after searching I finally decided on the " Innoolight indoor starry string lights" which seemed very intriguing to me as they come with a remote control and I have never seen or come across any fairy lights that actually come with a remote.
 What Innoolights say about the lights features -
• Excellent LED string lights with 10 levels of brightness with adjustable smooth/flash/strobe modes which will help to create a vibrant,cozy and romantic atmosphere.
• Eco-friendly firefly lights : the insulated copper wire keeps the lights cool to the touch when in use.
• User friendly design : high quality thin and flexible copper wire which can be easily bent and manipulated into any shape.
• Multiple fictional remote control: so that you can control the string lights easily with 3 different modes and 100 brightness levels within a 10 meter distance.
Technical specifications
Input voltage: AC100V-240V  50Hz/60Hz
Operating voltage: 5V / 1A
String light power: 5W
String light length: 10M (100 lights)
Total length: 10M + 0.3M ( power lead )
Bulb colour: warm white

These lights were really easy to attach to the closet maid system because of the copper wire and they look absolutely amazing and have definitely helped to blend the rooms decor together.

The lights are really versatile as to how bright or how dim you wish to have them, we tend to keep them at brightness level 10 and continuous light which helps to create a relaxing atmosphere for the bedroom.

I can highly recommend these lights to everyone. To buy your own set follow this link to check them out for yourself   https://www.amazon.co.uk/InnooLight-Firefly-Ambiance-Lighting-Christmas/dp/B01IMUGLEI
