I had the chance to try out the Blurry Women’s Waterproof Jacket in black with purple detailing around the zip and also on the lining.  It feels quite lightweight but you can tell it’s got the quality to recent water and protect from the wind which I like as it allows you to wear it in warmer weather and not just the winter.

Trespass 2The jacket is nicely shaped around the hem, with a slight curve at the back.  I also like the zipped pockets on either side, always useful to pop your phone or keys into.  Across the upper half of the zip is a flap across which both adds style, but also added protection from the weather.  The collar is soft lined and really comfortable against your skin.  What I really like to help keep the wind out and the hood on is the toggles around the hood area, the cuffs and bottom hemline.  This are essential on those bitter, windy days when you just want to feel snuggled up and protected.

My mum has kindly modeled the jacket for me as the jacket does come up rather tight around the hips for me with the zip closed so I would recommend getting a size larger than expected.  My mum wears a size 14 jeans and this jacket is an XL.

Trespass 3Overall I’m really pleased with this jacket and it will be an essential for me in the school playground over the winter months as well as rainy days out with the kids who aren’t too fussed about the rain, but I do like to keep myself as warm and dry as possible!

Cra-Z-Sand Purple Playset – Review

The new Cra-Z-Sand Deluxe Purple Playset from Character Options was bound to be a  hit with my two children as they love sand, they love arts & crafts, they love being creative and they love making mess!!

cra-z-sand xMy children’s eyes lit up when they saw the set and they couldn’t wait to play.  Fortunately with the recent run of good weather, we took the opportunity to play outside.  The set consisted of a pack of purple coloured sand, a sturdy plastic tray to play in (although my children preferred to play on the art mat), a roller and various scrapers to cut and sculpt the sand any way you wish.

I have to say my two didn’t need any encouragement with this, they just got on and happily played, loving pressing there fingers into the sand and rolling it into balls etc.  The sand is a really satisfying texture that feels soft and is totally non-sticky!

We used some sand moulds we already had to make shapes and they really do turn out perfectly formed with a simple tap and wiggle of the mould.  This makes it really satisfying for children to see and feel that they have achieved something quite amazing.

I really liked Cra-Z-Sand and can confirm that my children loved it!!  They have already asked if I can get them some different colours to play with.  I think this is a fun, enjoyable, tactile play substance that although really isn’t that messy.  It’s dry, non sticky and can be brushed off or hoovered up quite easily.  The tray and accessories are strong and sturdy making this a good quality set.

We give Cra-Z-Sand a big thumbs up as we all enjoyed it, had lots of fun and loved the texture of it!!
