...500 more to go....

Hello all!

So, as you may remember from reading THIS POST, I decided that I would do a 'give away' at 5,000 page views.

We are nearly there.... 500 more views to go to get there.

So to 'spur' you on in spreading the word of Mrs O, I thought I would give you a little spoiler on what the give away may be....

It is a favourite of many beauty Youtubers and bloggers.... And it has featured on one of my tutorials

Can any of you guess what it may be?.....

Remember, to check out my latest video HERE.

Anyway, keep viewing and commenting :)

Love, Mrs O x

To the future... September

I have been thinking of a way to get my 'creative juices' flowing....

So, I have decided to make a 'September Oath' of me creating a minimum of one new creative thing each week.

Not only will this give me a start to making Christmas things and pressies, but it will also enable me to try new crafts to fall in love with (Sorry Mr O).

At the moment I am making lots and lots of granny squares by crochet and although it's really cool to think how quick it is to make one, it is a bit tedious. Mr O is a good support though and pushes me. He even times me how long it takes to make one!

I already have a few things in mind and up my sleeve, however, if any of you have any thing you would like me to create or try creating, let me know....

You can either comment below or let me know by Twitter ( @thelifeofmrso ) 
or you can message me here ( -----> ) 

Have any of you got any favorite crafty things you love to do?....

Love, Mrs O x

Car Booty fun

After accumulating lots and lots of stuff we decided to take all the extra stuff to a car boot sale. We raised a profit of £22.30. Although its not much we have now cracked what we need to do to gain better sales etc.

Enjoy this vlog of the day:


Lots of love, Mrs O x

Guinea love

So as many of you know, in the O household, we have a big love for our guinea pigs. We have 2 guinea pigs called Ben & Jerry which are named after one of our other loves of ice cream! 



We keep our 'boys' (as they are also known here) indoors which allows us to have lots more fun and interaction with them. 

If anyone would love a small, first time pet, then I would advise them to get a guinea pig. I have had rabbits before, which I loved, but the guinea pigs actually interact with you. Every morning they will wait for their food and if they hear us ignoring them then they squeak until we give them attention. They are like having a dog too in many ways. When we get home from work or a day out, as soon as eh hear us they squeak, just to remind us that they are there. 

We have numerous giggles and fun with them, we document as much as we can do with them.  As you can see in the video we are also trying to find new ways to get their little guinea pig brains busy. This also includes trying lots of different foods out. 

Watch my video here:

Do any of you have any small pets? What's their favourite thing to eat? 

Have fun watching.

Annoying phone.... Lost all my videos!

Hello there all
 
So this morning when I went to upload my videos up to youtube, it wouldn't let me as it said that I did not have enough storage space (ANNOYING!). So I thought if I deleted some videos off of my phone then it will save it.....
 
Only problem is now is that it has lost all my videos and although i have saved it to my phone on the app it has all gone....
 
So, that is all my videos that I have recorded over the past 2 days....
  • Yesterday's vlog
  • Primark Haul
  • Superdrug Haul
  • French nails tutorial
So, the question is, do I re-record all of the videos again? Or do I do a blogg on them or do I just ignore it all and not re-record them?...
 
So annoying. But I did know to expect teething problems with this. I now have my camera up and running so I can use that but I will need to just carry it everywhere I go! I think I need to look into getting a smaller camera too!
 
Please let me know what you think...
 
Thanks!
 
Love, Mrs O x

So, enjoy a new way of catching up on Mrs O...

Replenish - a greener way to clean

I am always looking for ways to make housework a little greener. A year ago I bought a new product that I absolutely love using and I only found it by accident when walking down the cleaning aisle in Tesco. It is definitely my one cleaning product thatI couldn't live without. 

It's called Replenish. My easiest way of describing it is that it is like squash for cleaning.

Replenish Bottle
 
This is a multi purpose spray and I use it for both the kitchen and the bathrooms. I am still yet to use it on windows (apparently its really good on glass) but I use it on mirror and its really good. 

 You get a pod that has the cleaning fluid in and you squeeze it into the bottle and then just add water. Each 'squeeze' lasts much longer than you would think. I think I am now only on my second pod in less than a year. This should hopefully explain how to use it easier than my 'cleaning squash' concept!

Not only is it a great product in the sense of cleaning, the bottle is lovely. It's ergonomic and (this may sound really sad) but it sprays lovely too! The bottle is one of the main selling points that the company uses as it is recyclable but, as you use the pods to refill the cleaner, you don't need to put it in with the recycling rubbish every time you've finished using it! 
 
Unfortunately Tesco has stopped selling it so I am trying to find where I can buy it from. I did manage to buy a few extra pods when they were selling them off in Tesco before they took it off the shelf. I would love to find out where they sell it now near me.....

Do any of you use it?,,,,

What's your favourite cleaning product that you couldn't live without?
