To be honest I nearly forgot as things with my dad had been happening. My thinking cap wasn't working to clearly. But after a Whangarei Bloggy Girls get together I took some suggestions home with me.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
When I go to the op shops sometimes I just grab things and decide later what to do with them. I found some old silver coasters in a bric-a-brak bargain bin and they have been sitting at home waiting to be re-purposed. I decided these would be great to use as decorations. I drilled a hole in each coaster and masked off portions of each and gave them a couple of coats of spray paint.</div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Good grief.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Is there such a thing. Grief as I've learnt is a part of my life, every ones life. My dad passed away last month, only over two weeks ago. So not that long ago. Grief has been a companion for a long time. I'm not being morbid I promise. Other companions come with you too... happiness, wonderment, desire, dreams.... you know what I mean. But grief is my companion right now.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Dad. A loaded word is what I likened it to at his funeral. It conjures up all sorts of feelings and memories for me. Dad. Hmmm. Not so much a dad when I was young, a girl needing reassurance, acceptance as a daughter, knowing I was lovable. Hmmm not really.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wrote a poem for my dad more recently when he came back in to our lives as a new man. I compared him to a kauri tree. Strong. I spoke of a kauri tree needing time to mature and become strong. Kauri live for many many years and are an important part of our culture here in New Zealand. Dad was my kauri tree, a tree that took its time to grow in to a place of shelter, love and comfort. It took most of my life for my dad to become that for us kids but he got there in the end like he took the long way round to his destination. A scenic route if you like, but missing the most important purpose for the journey... his children. But like I said he got there.... slow and steady wins the race and whatever cliche you can think of. Afterall cliches are cliches for a reason.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">When mum passed away October 2005 grief was my companion then too. Taken to soon from her children, these fickle bodies we have are sometimes not our friends. I love my mum more today then I did then. Losing mum was horrible and I miss her still, you live with the loss like a scar that doesn't completely heal but you just carry on. As my journey as a mother grows I come to appreciate her more and more.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So when she died dad stood in the gap, more than that he stepped up! With his own health issues I think he realized his own mortality was fragile. He became DAD. Yep capital letters DAD. Finally. All those lost years of not having him and here he was. Christmases camping at his place, doing family and getting hugs and kisses and I love you's. It was hard to adjust to begin with. This was a foreign concept to us. We had to re-introduce ourselves to this person DAD. Sometimes old roles come back to our minds. I am the baby afterall, this role doesn't leave you. Old fears of past dad come back and you wonder if this new one is real. You have to forgive to move on. We forgave. But its hard to forget.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">So I thank God for the 8 years of dad we had when mum passed because we needed him. We still need him. But again these fragile bodies don't last. Dad I love you and miss you. You ended strong. You are still my kauri tree, but fallen, creating compost to grow us stronger. Now I am a kauri tree, my son finds shelter and comfort under my branches. My sisters and brother are kauri that cover their children. We have to be adults now, face the world without mum and dad. It sucks.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">But my heart is glad to have another father, He stood in the gap many years ago before I even knew he had. When I turned 15 I accepted him as My Heavenly Dad. He has changed my life and healed so much from the past from my childhood and even things in my life since then. Never ending flow of love and forgiveness from heaven above, a sweet peace that surpasses all understanding. Although my earthly parental units are passed my Heavenly one is still watching over me his daughter with an eternal view in mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Grief I don't mind you being my companion, you aren't my only one anyway I have the others. We are old mates and have been through a lot together. You will get sick of me eventually and I will start txting some other emotion for awhile and hang out for coffees with laughter and joy. I'm cool with it though.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
Grief shows that you care deeply for something and that losing it means something to your soul and heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><br />
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">Psalm 30:5</span><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">....weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-size: 16px;">Love you always Mum and Dad. xx</span></span><br />

<br />
We get busy don't we? I know its a buzz word that I use with people often. Its almost like an excuse of this day and age. How are you someone asks me, 'Busy' is the reply. Busy isn't a feeling or an occasion, its like a band-aid to cover a multitude of things.<br />
<br />
We get bogged down by the woes of this world and worry ourselves about things we cannot change or half of what doesn't exist. In my long but short journey with God I have learnt to look back or take that second look because yes He is there and yes He sees all your going through. I don't worry like I used to. I see you God, I see your hand has been with me and when I see things in the light of eternity your peace transcends all understanding (Phil 4:7).<br />
<br />
We serve a loving God who has the best plan for our lives and this doesn't always match the plans we had for ourselves or the methods we would have chosen. You know what? His way is still the best way. Gods way isn't necessarily a walk in the park. Sometimes you have to broken to be repaired to His requirements. Doing the right thing is hard sometimes, sometimes you don't feel like doing that. I know I don't! Happiness is an inside job and there was no guarantee you were going to get it all here on this earth.<br />
<br />
Take a second look, look for the beauty in those small things, the big things, the normal things, even in the things that look ugly. I was in my backyard looking at the sky and I saw a little bird twittering in the tree. Not much really but enough to make me take a second look. Carefree bird, not worrying about the economic downturn, housing issues, money, relationships etc. Just going about his business above the madness and living in this beautiful glow of the heavens. Be more like the bird who soars high and knows he is provided for. Aren't we worth more then sparrows (Luke 12:6-7) to God yet He knows each one and they are looked after.<br />
<br />
Look for this little bits of beauty and joy you can find in the everyday, change your perspective and know that you are loved and cared for by mighty God who sees it all and knows where your at. Your a gem!<br />

I'm always keen to review something because when your a full time mum you want to be able to try something new and let other normal mortals what you think of things before you spend your precious pennies on items.<br />
<br />
Bread... toast bread. Good so far.<br />
<br />

<br />
I put 2 slices in to the toaster and waited for the 'pop'. Gave it a sniff. Smells good and has a bit of a different texture and feel of your normal whitebread. Slightly closer to a traditionally baked loaf in my mind.<br />
<br />

Nice simply made bread. I personally liked this bread and knowing that it is full of fibre yet that more appealing to the eye 'whitebread' for the kidlets I give it the thumbs up!<br />

<br />
It took my awhile to get on the Instagram bandwagon but I'm glad I did. Its like having a little peek in to someones life. Being the social, nosey person that I am I enjoy seeing what food you ate today, what interesting unusual thing you saw, what you look like without your make-up, what your child is up too, looking at your selfies, looking at the scenic shot, what you baked, what friends you were out with today, that thing you made, that cool saying that inspired you, that funny picture that cracked you up, that cool op shop buy you scored, the shoes your wearing today, that unknown thing that I'm not sure what it is... Thanks Instagram for being another thing that takes up my time, but in a good way.<br />

My latest review is on Greggs revamped coffee range with a distinct Kiwiana twist. This is a good middle of the range of coffee for those who don't want to buy the more expensive freezed dried stuff. I'm a freezed dried coffee drinker myself but its nice to have a go at the coffee I remember my mum drinking. Four different flavours here folks so one to suit everybody! Thanks Greggs for the coffee and mug!<br />

Come back in 3 years when I've finished my degree... Anyway hello bloggy babes. Once again I have been surrounded by 3 to 4 year old children, assignments, classmates, my boy, settling in to my new church and just living week by week in this economy.<br />
<br />
It is OCTOBER people! Where did the year go? I've found this year a be of a struggle keeping the fires burning with the LORD, getting motivated to study, parenting on empty and trying to keep my wits about me. I will say that God is good and I am human. In my memory I have a list of scripture that live in my brain and I bring out when I'm feeling low.<br />
<br />
This is my spiel, not just a spiel but more of a desperate cry for reconciliation and meaning with God. So here goes:<br />
<br />
Thank you LORD that you plans for me are for good not evil, that if I seek you I will be found by You. No weapon formed against me shall proser. I am your child, adopted in to your family, a princess of the Almighty King. I have your favour as a shield. You will never leave me nor forsake me. You who started this good work in me will finished it. I wear your armour, You have cast my sins in to the sea of forgetfulness. You turn all things for good. All things are possible with you. You are my LORD, my God, My King. I love you Jesus.<br />
<br />
This is my morsel I need to eat to get through my day sometimes, it should be a staple though really aye. Anywho that is where I have been at.<br />
<br />
As for the holidays Ash has been hanging out with <a href="http://www.paisleyjade.com/">Master Paisley Jade</a> today. He's staying over with us tonight.<br />

<br />
<br />
Would you believe these boys are really in to Doctor Who? Well actually it's no surprise to me. Our boys like technology and science fiction pretty much. At least they have weird parents who understand their interests! (Bit of a geek myself).<br />
<br />
Its good to have good mates, they keep you together when you fall apart and laugh at you and with you. I appreciate you my buddies and I appreciate Asher having a good mate like Mykah!<br />
<br />
Well perhaps I'll see y'all next holidays when all assignments have been handed in and Christmas presents hopefully bought and hidden.<br />

"Roald Dahl's Revolting Recipes". He saw this at his old schools library and wanted a copy. I've been meaning to make things from it. Ash picked it up again and saw this recipe:<br />

Pantene Products!I love getting products to review! I've reviewed Pantene products before with no overwhelming success. I think since the formula has been changed it doesn't work as nicely on my hair as it used too.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I've tried Pantene Nature Fusion for awhile now to see if my hair needed to get used to it but it hasn't got the lovely feel I was expecting. I'm so sorry P & G. :-(<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The conditioner is Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal. They do work together but not to the degree that I thought they would. I do love the fragrance. When my hair is drying it still has a bit of a heavy feel. I don't think I will be intentionally buying these products. So so sorry P & G.</div>

I've been lost in a forest of essays, college, work and coffees. That's my life at the mo. The more I learn the more I'm really enjoying early childhood education. My classmates are pretty cool and we had to do group presentations last week. Our group did well.<br />
<br />
35 and starting a new career! I must have at least a good 30 years of working in me. I want a house, I want to provide for my son, I want to be a blessing! What better way to do that then working with little people and getting paid to do it!<br />
<br />
Anywho also I've got to see my beautiful little niece these last few days. She is such a sweety!<br />

<br />
Just been pondering over motherhood lately. Guess I always am because of my own continual journey. Mums are an amazing type of woman. From the first minute you find out your pregnant to the day you pass from this earth you have been given a new role and not always an easy role to accept.<br />
<br />
I remember the day I found out I was pregnant it didn't go exactly as you might think. I wasn't ready.... so not ready. I was a newly wed and my son was created about 3 to 4 weeks after I said 'I do'. So I wasn't ready. I didn't even know what been married was like and being on the pill hadn't been good for my body so I went off it. It only took that small window of time and that was it...<br />
<br />
I had a sneaking suspicion something happened that night. A gut instinct you could say. A random thought 'I think we've made a baby...' but then I just forgot about it.<br />
<br />
My 25th birthday clocked by both our families came for a dinner. Man I was tired. Sore boobies... It should have been a sign...<br />
<br />
...I sat there at Family Planning by myself wondering what to do. They gave me a pregnancy test, I took it. She sat me down and said 'Congratulations your having a baby'... I burst out crying... I wasn't ready... I cried and I think I cried some more. My bosses sent me home. I told my new husband... 3 times... Yeah it was a shock.<br />
<br />
I was a mother! This little human had been there waiting to be announced and here he was. I wanted a boy, always had.<br />
<br />
But my mind hadn't caught up with my body. Thank God he gives you all those months to get used to the idea because it took ALL those weeks to get my head around it. (Perhaps I'm still getting my head around it!).<br />
<br />
Newly Wed/Mother to be. Not the first in the world to have it happen too and certainly not the last but boy did I feel alone. The months ticked by and my boy grew, I loved seeing the scans and each time 'is it a boy'...<br />
<br />
Then the time came for him to come in to the world. Oh those little niggles, then bigger cramps, then 'oh no's...' and in my case a lot of moanings for my 'mummy' and I was glad she was there! Here was her baby having a baby! I drained the life out of my mother, she took on the emotion and strain of the event.<br />
<br />
I remember the moment Master A came in to this world via ventouse. He took my breathe away, this is the little man I've been growing and waiting for. He's been my constant companion ever since.<br />
<br />

<br />
When Master A was just over 4 months old I became a solo mum. My life was a bit of a wreck. I felt so broken and raw. If I hadn't had my faith in God I think I would have lost myself in despair. As it was I was just holding on by a thread, but my thread was a well bound God twine. I knew how that little kitten felt hanging on by a thread in that old poster.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Mums... They support, love, grieve, look after, care for, fight for, embrace, correct, growl, chauffeur, clothe, feed, shelter and just BE with us.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My mummy passed away 6 and half years ago now. I miss her all the time, some days more then others. I'm so glad my boy got to spent time with his nanny. She loved and still loves all her grandys so much. I take my mum with me wherever I go. She is the constant companion in my heart and on my shoulder. I can hear her voice and know what advice she'd give me. My dreams bring her in to my life and she is well not sick. She looks good. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The day I became a mum was the day I began to realize how much she had done for me and all those important values and unspoken ways she had taught me. She brought up 5 children on her own pretty much and I am in awe of how she did it. So when I struggle with my own thoughts around motherhood I remember her and her tenacity, strength and warped sense of humour that got us all through. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So my hats off to all you mums as we share this journey together.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its not always a joy (but yes it does have its wonderful moments) but my goodness we would kill for our kiddies if anything or anyone does something to them. I love my son so much and I thank God that he knew better then I did when bringing us together! I couldn't imagine my life without Master A. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I am a praying Parent! I can't do it without my LORD.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Arohanui to you all!</div>

I got to review (taste test!) another delicious cereal from Be Natural. Manuka Honey and Spice Clusters with flakes! I Like Manuka Honey. I like Spices. What a lovely combo. What I like about this company as I said in my last <a href="http://missbeckyboosview.blogspot.co.nz/2011/12/be-natural-cereal-review.html">review</a> is that it's nice to see properly what you are eating and not be chomping away on a heavy muesli.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm I love Oil of Olay so I thought this would be a cinch. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here are the 7 advantages:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #111111; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 13px; line-height: 20px; margin-bottom: 1.538em; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; text-align: -webkit-auto;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
1. Line Minimization: Reduces the appearance of fine wrinkles</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
2. Nourishing Moisturization: For a radiant, healthy glow</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3. Tone Enhancement: Balances color & reduces appearance of age spots</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
4. Gentle Exfoliation: Smoothes and evens skin texture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
5. Pore Refinement: Minimizes the appearance of pores</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
6. Free Radical Defense: Helps prevent damage to skin’s surface</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
7. Subtle Lifting: Hydrates for firmer skin appearance</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Personally I prefer Oil of Olay to this but only because I find this formula thick. You can tell it has SPF in it. I don't think I'd buy this because I don't like the thickness on my face. If your out in the sun alot it would make sense to use this.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Strategically placed chin so you don't see its double and making sure "I" look good in the picture. Hehehe...</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its been awhile since I've done a 'proper' post. I guess the holidays can get quite draining and groundhog day-ish! Asher thankfully has had his mate stay over the night and their playing which is welcome relief for me! As you mumma's with no breaks will understand.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways this year I'm taking a new direction and I start my studies towards becoming an Early Childhood Education (ECE) teacher. I didn't think I'd be doing this! Just ask my friend <a href="http://www.hstevenson.blogspot.com/">Mama Moo</a>.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Its a direction that I think God is cool with me taking as all things have fallen in to place for me and its been great. I said to Him I'm not sure about this LORD and if you want this for me its got to work out and it has. I only just got my Diploma of Counselling early last year after 5 years of hard work. But this comes with a different direction and combination of my talents and gifts. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I guess I'm always going to want to work with people. I tend to get on with all age groups and its a quality I appreciated in myself. Kids are an amazing breed and more now then ever at their age they need fun and loving people in there lives.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So this is a new year and a new focus! (And I intend on meeting the man of my realistic dreams!). Asher started at a new school September last year and my prayer for him is great friendships with those who can encourage and love him and he can do the same for them. Having a full year with the same peers will be good. Been a parent is hard work and you never a day goes by where you're not thinking about their well-being. I think all you parents so an amazing job!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyways God is GOOD and life continues to be an interesting journey. I want to re-ignite my passions and fevour for life and the LORD because its been a flat time of late so here's to changes!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Happy New Year y'all. I look forward to reading about what you guys get up too this year.</div>

I had to review the new flavours from Just Juice called "Just Juice Orchard" range that have come out.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtRwBYwCfuFucEmvKW1KFEFbp4-qBEa0tAQ-2ipN3-0lXPCOb3HMS4yJ7a7k2SWuvL3qREkP9w_cAMcJGwIQRBO6yhB9ZZzIlAvjM95FPe3mHW5VIbxi4Ze9ZaZLr9k6EIwec_ENJBO7S5/s1600/JustJuiceOrchard-range.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtRwBYwCfuFucEmvKW1KFEFbp4-qBEa0tAQ-2ipN3-0lXPCOb3HMS4yJ7a7k2SWuvL3qREkP9w_cAMcJGwIQRBO6yhB9ZZzIlAvjM95FPe3mHW5VIbxi4Ze9ZaZLr9k6EIwec_ENJBO7S5/s640/JustJuiceOrchard-range.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I didn't realize is that they were 3 different flavours because of the packaging... I mustn't have been looking close enough but those litre packs are quite similar!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried the Sun Kissed Orange with a friend of mine and we both weren't too keen on the taste. A bit tart but it did taste like fresh juice but not an overload of pulp. I wouldn't intentionally buy it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My sister and her family tried the Strawberry and Kiwifruit and really like the taste so that went down well!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
They said the Farm Style Apple tasted more like orange juice with apple. Rather then trying to sell it as an apple juice perhaps give it equal footing with orange. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Anyway I like the Just Juice Range but these aren't for me.</div>

What is new Pantene Aqua Light?</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 25px;">
The new Pantene Aqua Light range contains revolutionary ingredients developed to nourish the hair without weighing it down. This sophisticated composition achieves the perfect balance between conditioning and lightness, resulting in a clean but nourished feeling.</div>
<h1 style="color: #009a9b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
How does it work?</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 25px;">
Unlike other shampoos and conditioners, the Aqua Light formula contains highly water soluble beads that clean hair gently and rinse away fast – 9 times faster than any other Light formula. The result is lightweight, beautifully nourished hair that looks lifted, has amazing movement and keeps your style in place.</div>
<h1 style="color: #009a9b; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 16px; font-weight: normal; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; padding-bottom: 10px;">
Why is it more advanced than other treatments?</h1>
<div style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 17px; padding-bottom: 25px;">
Conventional conditioners mostly feature tightly packed inner structures that appear creamy and dense and eventually drag hair down. Aqua Light’s loose, fluid composition delivers just the right amount of nourishment before rinsing away and leaving you with gorgeous, swissshable hair.</div>

Hmmm well I enjoy receiving product to review but I guess not everything can get a great review.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I usually really like using Pantene so I was disappointed that this shampoo didn't work for me. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My hair type probably doesn't suit the Light Formula. I have curly hair and don't use and product. I'm not sure how that related to this product not working well for me but I don't think I'll be using it again. In saying that I do like using other Pantene products. Thanks for reading.</div>

<br />
My first review was to taste some cereals from <a href="http://www.benatural.com.au/Home.aspx">Be Natural</a>.<br />
<br />
They sent me three boxes of Cereal and 2 boxes of trail bars (and these were just a bonus too!).<br />
<br />
Oh my goodness these are YUMMO!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here's Master 9 enjoying a bar!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The flavour of the bars were Berry and Nut & Fruit. These would be a great alternative to normal sweet cereal bars you get at the shop. These were delicious and the berry one had good berry chunks in it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I first tried the Pink Lady Apple and Flame Raisin! This was delicious! The real fruit pieces and whole grain flakes were nice, lite and tasty.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This second box I tasted was Cashew, Almonds, Hazelnut & Coconut. Soooo moreish! To be able to see the nuts and coconut etc. This would be a great alternative to heavy muesli. I would eat this all the time.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The 3rd box 5 Whole Grain flakes was nice too but I had no yoghurt or banana's to put on it which would have made it a whole lot yummier. Much tastier alternative to cornflakes too I reckon.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnbujsamnQhllcZN06_Uh9iZqIl-yS0s7P__R7r1BbZg_uhzfoKLyzxzr10UXGXHBNyVA85dpQAFrBgA1ma3RCDp0UkDeiWwrSulBS9Zr0lNidHKmi5NsVeBBoohx-njht6zW000gqbsu/s1600/020.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcnbujsamnQhllcZN06_Uh9iZqIl-yS0s7P__R7r1BbZg_uhzfoKLyzxzr10UXGXHBNyVA85dpQAFrBgA1ma3RCDp0UkDeiWwrSulBS9Zr0lNidHKmi5NsVeBBoohx-njht6zW000gqbsu/s320/020.JPG" width="292" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So overall I really enjoyed the tasty treats from <a href="http://www.benatural.com.au/Home.aspx">Be Natural</a>. You make a lovely range of delicious goodness!</div>
