Review: The Power Of Poison Exhibition, London


Today I was very kindly invited to have a wander around The Power Of Poison exhibition in Brick Lane, East London. Based in the Turman Brewery, the exhibition takes you on a journey about the wonders and dangers of poison and toxics. With live animals, it was fascinating to find out that many of them actually get their toxics from the plants they digest. I loved the myth busting section - did you know the Mad Hatter in Alice In Wonderland gets it name because the mercury in the hat making caused the hatters to go a bit loopy?  I also didn't realise that Cleopatra had committed suicide!




The exhibition is great for all ages. We as young -ha! - 26 year found the information on display so interesting and we spotted some children too enjoying themselves chattering away while their parents were engrossed in the displays. It was a great place to lose a few hours and learn something new.



The exhibition is running until 6th September and tickets are priced at £9 for an adult. Make sure you book your tickets quick!

Things to do: The Magnum Pleasure Store


I have a major sweet tooth that I struggle to keep under control so how could I resist it when The Magnum Pleasure Store got in touch as asked me if I wanted to design my own Magnum! Based by the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden, the pop up is in town until 30th August and open daily. Keep in mind you will probably have to queue but it's totally worth it!



Once you manage to get in the doors you get to pick there different toppings. I went for meringue prices, dried blackberries and strawberry balls. But you can choose anything from goji berries to chilli flakes. Get creative! After all three were shaken together, it's time to choose a chocolate coating. After much consideration I decided to go for white chocolate. But there's milk and dark to choose from too. Then a drizzle of even more chocolate is poured over it before being finished off with a chocolate M. Indulgence are it's very best!


It's such a perfect treat and in such a great location. I can see why it's so popular! For only £4.50, it's a great place to visit if you've had dinner in town and fancy feeding your sweet tooth. You can customise it however you want and get something unique. I'd recommend you catch it before it packs up at the end of the summer. Hurry up!

Listerine and Louise Redknapp


When an email popped in my inbox revealing a collaboration between mouthwash brand Listerine and ex-Eternal singer Louise Redknapp I was very intrigued! It turns out that Wild About Beauty - co-owned by Louise - were helping the launch of the new Listerine Advanced White mouthwash. It's been clinically proven to help make your teeth whiter within two weeks. Snazzy! Together they have come up with three lipsticks that help to make your gnashers look whiter and brighter. Soft Pink, Fuchsia Pink and Rich Berry - I was kindly sent the last shade to test out.



Do you have any tips to help make your teeth look whiter?
