5 water-based activities you should try this summer

Sponsored Post¦ I don’t know about you, but at the first sign of warm weather, I just want to head to the beach! I always feel calmer and happier when I’m by bodies of water, somehow. I find myself mesmerised watching the water sparkling in the sunlight and I love the sea so much that I had it tattooed on me. Water-based activities are fun, too. A few years ago, I tried and enjoyed kayaking at the beach and one of my favourite honeymoon memories is horse riding in the sea at St. Bride’s Bay.

The power is in your hands with the Chill Factor Slushy Maker!

Swizzels sweets: The taste of childhood

Sponsored Post¦ What’s the first sweet you think of when you hear “Swizzels”? For me it’s Drumsticks, but I love all their other sweets too. It evokes childhood memories whenever I spot them in the shop. I used to feel like I’d won the lottery when I left with a Double Dip – the pack of strawberry and orange sherberts with the iconic Swizzelstick for dipping. In the 90s, it wasn’t a kid’s birthday at school if you didn’t come home with a pack of fizzers or a fruit pop lolly.
