Handbag Essential - Peppersmith Mints

One of the things that I never leave the house without is a pack of mints. I recently discovered these Peppersmith mints and they have become my new essential.

Everything about the packaging is very bright but traditional - all cardboard so it is recyclable which is good!

I got one of each of their mints/gum to try. There is the classic 'fine English peppermint', the stronger 'Eucalyptus and peppermint' and the slightly unusual 'Sicilian lemon and peppermint' as well as the 'fine English peppermint' chewing gum. All of them are sugar free and perfect for keeping your breath fresh after meals or just for a refreshing lift during the day. The only sweetener used is 100% xylitol which makes them better for your teeth than regular mints too. It has been recommended by dentists for keeping your teeth healthy so it must be good! All you have to do is try and keep the mint in your mouth for at least a minute, so no crunching. They are in handy pocket-sized packets so you can easily pop them in your bag for after meals.

I will be keeping a pack of these in my bag from now on! They taste good and do good for your teeth too.

Pooch Pampering

I have a giant black labradoodle called Zebedee who I love to pieces so he gets pretty spoiled. He can be quite costly though so finding places to get the things he likes at lower prices is amazing!

We recently were sent a box of goodies from PetShop.co.uk which is a website where you can get all sorts of branded pet food, beds, toys and loads more for highly discounted prices. One amazing service that they offer is the Bottomless Bowl which is basically a food subscription service so you will never run out of food for your pets! You can choose how often you get the deliveries so that it best suits your needs too. It also has free delivery on orders over £19.99 which is really good.

I was out when the parcel was delivered but I got a message saying that Zeb was highly interested in the packaging and kept going up to sniff it. The first thing I noticed when I saw the box was that it was addressed to 'Tierney and pup' which is so cute!

One of his favourite things to do is pull apart cardboard boxes so he really enjoyed helping to open the box!

There were three things inside, the first being Grain Free Dog Food. This is 50% fish and 50% vegetables and botanicals which reduces carbohydrates and gives dogs a balanced diet. There is so much information on the website about it so you can be sure if that is the food you want or not.

Second in the box was Naturediet Dog Food. We usually only give Zeb these as a treat rather than everyday but he loves them.
The final thing was a Dentaflex Large which is designed to help prevent build up of plaque. As you can see, he could hardly wait to eat it!

I'm pretty sure he enjoyed playing with the packaging as much as he will enjoy eating the contents, as you can see by the absolute mess he made!

Overall, I would definitely recommend using PetShop.co.uk if you have pets :)
