No Pong Review

No Pong Review


I struggled with finding a good deodorant that kept me feeling fresh but also didn't have any of the nasty stuff that is in some deodorants. I was casually scrolling through Tik Tok and came across a video and this girl was using No Pong and she was raving about it. So of course, I had to try it. I went down to Woolworths and picked up one, it was the original one and tried it out. All I have to say is that this stuff is amazing. It's so easy to apply and keeps me smelling and feeling fresh. 

Original 

No Pong is an all natural deodorant that keeps you smelling fresh for more than 12 hours. Its free of aluminium, parabens , BPA and phthalates. All you do is apply a peas sized amount to each arm pit and you are good to go. It's designed to absorb sweat while allowing your skin to breathe. 
Bi Carb free

I wanted to try the bi carb free version to see if it was any different and i liked it. I will still keep using the bi carb versions but its great that they have both options for people with sensitive skin. 

I usually have dark coloured underarms, I've had it all my life and with using No pong they are actually lighter it must be because of the bi carb soda but it's amazing I'm so happy with that. 

When I first used it I was getting white marks but then i realised you have to let it absorb a bit before putting on clothes so now it's all good.

The fragrance free one (I gave this one to my dad and he loved it)

After I brought 2 from Woolworths. I was sent 3 tins from no pong, They sent the fragrance free one, the cool lavender one and the flower power one. The scents of the flower and the lavender one are beautiful and subtle. Any gender can use these because they are not strong. I gave the fragrance free one to my dad and he has been using it. He was using the sprays but he wanted a change and didnt want to use those nasty sprays. He really likes no pong. Next time he will probably get the original or even the fragrance free one again. It's super easy to apply and lasts all day.

Cool Lavender

At first, I thought putting my finger in the tin and scooping some out and applying it would be weird but it's actually great. Also, on the website in the Q&As the company said that a few customers have contacted them saying that "because the way no pong is applied, they had early detected song lumps in that region. One was benign and the other required treatment, but it was picked up very early." Which is a great way to look at it. 

Flower Power

Flower Power has got to be my favourite at them moment I just love the scent of it. It's so flowery and beautiful

The next one I want to try is the spicy chai one that sounds very interesting. I also cant wait to see what other scents they will come out with.

If you want to check out no pong for yourself check out their website No Pong Australia - All Natural, Extremely Effective Deodorant Where you can order some for yourself.

Also once you finish a tin you can use the tin for hair accessories or actually anything. It's a great way to upcycle. the tins are also free from plastic and aluminium.

Right now they have a christmas promotion going on ewhere you can get 15% off a christmas 6 pack using the code XMAS6


I hope you enjoyed my review. Let me know in the comments if you have used this product before,

Until next time

Binge Worthy : Bridgerton

3:44:00 PM 0
Binge Worthy : Bridgerton







Hey there lovelies,

I have recently watched so many TV shows and I have decided to start a new series on my blog where I review them. I have decided to call the series Binge worthy. 

Outside of the blog I have been working on a Film and TV show Journal. I will make another post on how I made that, But if I make a spread about the show I will add a picture of it to the end of the posts. 

The first show is a show that I recently finished, BRIDGERTON.

About the Show  (Synopisis from Bridgerton Wikipedia)

Bridgerton follows Daphne Bridgerton, the eldest daughter of the powerful Bridgerton family as she makes her debut onto Regency London's competitive marriage market. Hoping to follow in her parents' footsteps and find a match sparked by true love, Daphne's prospects initially seem to be unrivaled. But as her older brother begins to rule out her potential suitors, the high society scandal sheet written by the mysterious Lady Whistledown casts aspersions on Daphne. Enter the highly desirable and rebellious Duke of Hastings, committed bachelor and the catch of the season for the debutantes' mamas. Despite proclaiming that they want nothing the other has to offer, their attraction is undeniable and sparks fly as they find themselves engaged in an increasing battle of wits while navigating society's expectations for their future.

Bridgerton is a romantic, scandalous, and quick-witted series that celebrates the timelessness of enduring friendships, families finding their way, and the search for a love that conquers all.

My Review

I had heard so many good things about this show so I thought I would give it a go and check it out. I thought I would just watch one episode to see if I liked it, 4 hours later I was 4 episodes deep and loving it. I didn't even know it was series of books written by Julia Quinn. It was basically Gossip girl in the 1800s. But unlike Gossip girl we dont have to wait long before finding out the person behind lady Whistledown (which is revealed in the last episode) I won't spoil it for anyone wanting to watch the show. 

The casting for the show was incredible I loved all of the cast. I would highly recommend this show to anyone who loves historical Drama. There was a lot of dancing in beautiful sparkly gowns which was so beautiful. The costume designer on the show did an amazing job. 

I now need to go and read the books there are 8 books in the series and If the show keeps going we could have 8 seasons of the show which would be incredible.

 I'm so happy it has been a renewed for a season 2.

Warning There are quite a few strong sex scenes throughout the show and a short scene of sexual assault. So this show is not for everyone especially younger kids.

Well that's it for today I hope you enjoyed my review. If you have seen the show let me know in the comments if you liked it or didnt like it.

5/5

Halloween Movies To Watch (Family Friendly)

Halloween Movies To Watch (Family Friendly)

 Hey there lovelies, 

So it's September and that means that next month is Halloween. Considering we are all home at the moment in isolation I thought now would be the perfect time to start watching Halloween movies. I'm not a fan of horror movies so this list will be family-friendly ones.

Let me know in the comments which ones you plan on watching. I plan on watching them all and then probably making blog posts updating which ones I have watched.

If I have missed out on any let me know in the comments. 

What is your favourite Halloween movie of all time? For me, it would have to be Hocus Pocus. I grew up watching it, I love it so much. I was also 3 when it came out so that's showing my age :) 

I hope you enjoyed my blog post. If you would like to see more posts like this, in list form, Let me know in the comments. This was really fun to make. I will have some more Halloween posts coming soon. I have some on my old blog that I might put onto this blog. 

Until next time, stay spooky.

xoxo Danii

Album Review - Taylor Swift folklore

Album Review - Taylor Swift folklore

 



Hey there Lovelies,

For those you know me personally know that I am a huge fan of Taylor Swift, I have been for over 10 years. So when I heard she was releasing a surprise album less than 24 hours before it was released I was ecstatic. 

On July 23rd Taylor announced that she would be releasing a surprise album called 'folklore' at midnight. It was a great surprise to hear. I couldn't wait to hear it, And trust me it didn't disappoint, the album was incredible, very whimsical and magical. Taylor started out by posting cryptical photos to Instagram of trees which once the final photo was up we realized was the cover of the album. 

She also announced that she will be releasing a music video for her song Cardigan, That music video gave me peter pan vibes it was beautiful. This was a lot of information in a matter of 20 minutes and I loved it. The cinematography was stunning. The visuals were beautiful.

This album is so raw and beautiful. She tells stories through each song, they are read like diary entries. This is nothing like Taylor has ever released. it's more of an indie record. Her voice suits every single song, it just proves that she really can sing anything. Taylor manages to retell stories through each song even if some of the stories aren't hers. She also makes each song personal. 'The last great American dynasty' was about what she imagines the lives of the people that lived in her house in the past. 'Betty' is old school country Taylor. 

Album Tracks
1. The 1
2. Cardigan
3. The last great American dynasty
4. Exile (ft Bon Iver)
5. My tears Ricochet
6. Mirrorball
7. Seven
8. August
9. This is me trying
10. Illicit affairs
11. Invisible string
12. Madwoman
13. Epiphany
14. Betty
15. Peace
16. Hoax

Bonus track

17. The lakes

The fact that she created this album in quarantine is absolutely incredible. 

I highly recommend this album to everyone. 

Rating 5/5

I can't choose a favourite they are all amazing and if I do it will probably change by tomorrow. I have listened to the album so many times and it just keeps getting better and better. 

Have you listened to this album and what do you think?

I hope you enjoyed my review.

Happy listening

Top 8 Prom dresses from Milly Bridal

Top 8 Prom dresses from Milly Bridal


Hey there lovelies,

My prom was over 10 years ago, but for those who have their prom next year or in the future here are my top 8 prom dresses from the website Milly Bridal Prom Dresses, to give you some ideas if you are stuck on what to wear.

MillyBridal Prom Dresses

Milly Bridal specializes in affordable wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses, prom dresses, prom ball gowns etc.

Looking through their website it's so hard to choose just 8. They are all so beautiful.

Without further ado, let's get into my top 8.

1. Princess Halter Taffeta Sweep Train Dress


This dress is elegant and beautiful with its lacy bodice and a sweep train, This dress just had to be my number one. This would look amazing with a dainty silver necklace and some silver bracelets. Some silver or white shoes will finish off the outfit perfectly.

2. A-Line Halter Satin Sweep Train Beading Prom Dress



This next one is very elegant and perfect for prom. It's not too over the top, but with the gems around the neck and waistline it just gives it that extra bling to the dress that makes it look beautiful. It's an open back but it's outlined with the beautiful gem detail. You wouldn't even need to wear a necklace with this dress. It comes in 32 different colours, so there is a colour for everyone's taste.

3. Vintage A-Line Off-the-shoulder satin Floor length dress.


This would have to be one of my favourites, I love vintage things. The scoop neck makes this dress very elegant and I would pair it with a necklace and a pair of black or silver shoes. Dancing in this dress would be amazing you will feel like you are gliding along the floor. It also comes it a variety of different colours and for $145 how can you go wrong.

4. Casual A-Line off the shoulder satin Asymmetrical High low prom dress. 


If you don't want to go for a floor length dress then this one would be a perfect option for you. It's a high-low dress which also gives it a very elegant look. I would pair it with a pair of heels the same colour as the dress, (as seen in the picture) I would also add a necklace and a cute black clutch to finish the outfit off. This dress is giving me royal vibes. This dress is also under $100 which is an absolute steal.

5. Scoop Neck Sweep Train Green Lace Tulle with Buttons Prom Dress


When I first saw this dress I fell in love. I love the tulle skirt it's very princess style. This dress comes in a variety of colours but I really love the green in the picture, I also think this dress would look amazing in Pink. The lace on the top just gives the dress an elegant look. Down the back there are buttons.

6. Princess High Neck Satin Tulle Floor-length Beading Two piece Dress


This dress is similar to the last dress but this is a two piece. I thought I would add a two piece in this post because I like to give you guys a bit of variety. I love how there are 2 different colours in the dress, the underlayer which is the pink in the picture but you can choose any option of colour you want, And the overlay which is a black/brown colour. It looks beautiful. The top part is satin which would make it very silky and smooth. And I love how the colours are the same on the top and goes down to the skirt.

7. Mermaid V-neck Sequined Train Lace Dress



This wouldn't be a frangipani goddess post without something very glittery and has a lot of sequins. This dress is just that. The colour is even really beautiful and again it comes in a lot of different colours. It has an open back, so this dress is for someone who doesn't mind showing a lot of their back. You could pair this with a pair of plain black shoes so it doesn't take away too much of the dress.

8. Princess Sweetheart Tulle Sequined Sweep Train Dress


To finish this post I thought I would post a strapless dress with sequins on the bodice of the dress and sequins and rhinestones draping down onto the skirt. This dress is very princess style. Its so beautiful I wish I had found this dress for my formal.

All the dresses are lined so they won't be see through and the fabric looks really strong.

Well that is it for my post I really hope you enjoyed it.

Let me know in the comments what your favourite dress is and what dress you wore to your prom/formal.

Thanks for reading
