Dry Shampoo - I've not used it before

My latest products to test have arrived! This time they are from Batiste, smoothing conditioning mist, strength and shine dry shampoo and XXL plumping powder.

I'm really looking forward to using these products as my hair is dreadful at the moment, the hot weather doesn't help, so once I've given them a go I'll let you know how I get on.

Testing Colman's Season and Shake

I've been very lucky recently to receive various flavours of  Colman's Season and Shake from Colman's  to try for free. Although the weather has been rather hot to think of eating a casserole, I have tried the Piri Piri Chicken and Mediterranean Chicken flavours.

For the Piri-Piri  I added chicken drumsticks to the bag provided, added the spice and then sealed it and cooked in the oven before finishing on the BBQ. The Mediterranean Chicken was also cooked in the bag, just add vegetables, chicken to the bag, shake and cook.

I didn't try the Piri-Piri flavour, but those that did said it was quite hot but tasty. I really enjoyed the Mediterranean Chicken, I served it with rice and it made a lovely family meal.

I only have a couple of qualms, when you split the bag and seasoning it's easy to destroy your instructions and the bag seal tag was a little fiddly so I wouldn't recommend if you have dexterity problems as I struggled a little.

All in all a great idea, and some lovely flavour combinations. I'm looking forward to trying some more at a later date.
