Wraps Wristband Headphones

Good morning all!

I hope you're all having a fabulous weekend. A few weeks ago we were sent some Wraps wristband headphones to try out, and I've been taking them everywhere with me to test them out!

Wraps are new, innovative earphones that can be worn on the wrist when not in use. Not only are they much easier to store and find this way but as they are available in a range of colours and finishes they are also great for the fashion conscious.

There are a few different types available including the Classic, Natural, Core and Limited Edition ranging from £14.99 to £49.99 for the upgraded speakers and metallic finishes.

I was sent the Classic wrap in Crimson colour, there are 6 different colours available in this range. Crimson is a lovely dark red colour and its really flattering on my skin tone so it was a good choice.

I've been using them when on walks and at the gym, the sound quality has been really good and the ear phones themselves fit into my ear very comfortably and stay there, even on the treadmill! This is very important as there's nothing worse than trying to go flat out and losing your favourite song half way through, especially during HIIT!



I really really like that you can wear these earphones - it isn't something I thought i would actually do but the benefit of not having them tangle up in your bag and having to spend 10 minutes sorting them out every time is amazing. I did worry that this may cause them to degrade faster as I always wrap other cables up to stop them tangling and the iPhone cables for example start splitting very soon when you do this.

However as these are made of a braided cable there hasn't been anything like this so far, although I can't speak for 6 months of usage!

It's super easy to wrap them up around your wrist and then slot the headphone jack into the centre of the earphones themselves to lock it up. This means you can adjust it to each person specifically and wrap them around any body part or bag etc, although wrists would be easiest!

I haven't worn them for extended periods of time but have had them on for an hour or so and they haven't unravelled in that time.

The packaging comes with full instructions and also the techy specifications which admittedly don't mean a lot to me but are there if you understand all about sound!

The Classic wraps are £14.99 and come in 6 different colours.These are the most basic and there are others available which include a variety of finishes including beading, limited edition colours and patterns and also the option of a button to allow start/stop functions plus a microphone.

There is even as most bloggers will appreciate, a metallic range including rose gold - the Core collection are definitely the top of the range with upgraded Titanium speakers. The gold or rose gold would be my personal choices and are priced at £49.99.

I've been really impressed with these and although I have tried to find a fault am yet to see a downside to these! I would recommend trying these and seeing how well they fare in comparison to those you have now, these are now a welcome addition to my gym bag and I might get some for my brother for his birthday as he's a techy geek who would appreciate it!

What are your thoughts on wearable earphones? Have you heard of Wraps? Would these solve all of your problems with tangled cables in your handbag like mine??

Cardiff Fashion Week

Hey All

Last week I headed to an event to showcase what was going to be at Cardiff Fashion Week. L has been to a previous Cardiff Fashion week (you can see that here) and we've been to London for Fashion Week a few times so I was excited to see what Cardiff has to offer!

With the Atrium being in the city centre, having a Fashion Week in Cardiff could really help promote up and coming designers and showcase what the city has to offer. As someone who moved to Cardiff after uni I do love things that help promote what a great city it is!

Cardiff Fashion week is running from 22nd - 29th October with loads of great activities going on. 29th Oct is Fashion Show day. Tickets are available for the shows which will be showing off students work, high street fashion and some Welsh Designers (I'm sad I'm away this year and will be missing it!!). There is also a designer village with fun workshops going on and stalls to visit, if you visit the sponsers page you can find some of the brands that will be there.

I got to meet the designer behind The Power of Greyskull who designs amazing workout gear. I'll be ordering some as the best part is it's all bespoke made so I can easily get leggings that are long enough!!

Here is the link to the website with the full line up of what the week has to offer with fun things happening during the week, It's in perfect time for some half term activities!

Are you heading to Cardiff Fashion Week?

Miss Patisserie: Coconut Cleansing Bar

There are many reasons why me and M decided to blog together, not only are we close friends but we really do love the same things!

M recently picked up the Charcoal Cleansing Bar from Miss Patisserie, you can read the review here

In a totally separate trip (and not with M) I picked up the Coconut Cleansing Bar - so what did I think?

The Coconut Cleansing Bar contains a number of moisturising oils, purifying powders and skin softening clays. Each bar contains different essential oils and other ingredients depending on the skin type.

The coconut cleansing bar contains coconut oil, olive oil, sustainable palm oil, castor oil, shea better and may chang oil.

The packaging for this bar is pretty simple, it has the same monochrome stripes as other Miss Patisserie products and the lovely script font of the name. I do appreciate a good font!

The bar itself is a sandy coloured bar, there are also Pink clay and Charcoal bars which are as you would expect, pink and black respectively.

This bar is perfect for normal to dry skin so this was perfect for me, I still have an oily t-zone but also my skin has started getting drier with age (urgh!)

You can use this both for face and body but I have been using this for face only. It lathers up really easily and removes most make up. It doesn't remove all eye make up but that would be impressive with the large amount of industrial eyeliner and mascara I wear!

My skin always feels clean but not tight afterwards so it's not stripped of all the natural oils in the skin.

Have you tried any of the cleansing bars from Miss Patisserie? These cost £5.25 and seem to last longer than any liquid cleansers that I also use. I would definitely recommend trying the coconut cleansing bar if you think this might be suitable for your skin

What's your favourite cleanser? Do you like liquid or solid cleansers?
