The Stem launches Hydrophonic Herbs

 

Grow your own herbs from seed without soil, using these hydrophonic kits. Made in the UK using organic and recycled materials, this minimum waste kit contains everything you need to grow your own herbs.

  • These kits ensure successful growth from seed without soil – perfect for those without gardens, or those without space outside
  • Each kit contains step by step instructions to get growing. Seeds usually germinate within 7-10 days
  • Available as singles: basil, coriander, mint, rocket or thyme. Or a set of three: basil, coriander and thyme in a gift box
  • Previous City Worker James Folger has battled mental health challenges and set up The Stem after finding sanctuary in nature, with studies supporting the stress-busting power of plants

 

herbs, grow your own herbs,   

Each kit contains everything you need to grow your chosen herb from seed, without soil. Follow the instructions and within 7-10 days germination will begin. The herbs will need plenty of light to grow, and perhaps try giving them a few extra drops of nutrient solution to really encourage growth. Herbs should be ready to pick and add to your home-cooking after around 7-8 weeks. The plants should give you months of steady growth and the hydroponic solution should last around 2 years.

 

James Folger, Founder of The Stem says;

 

“Hydrophonics is revolutionising horticulture at home and is a fantastic option for urban living especially. The process of growing plants without soil, with roots that are directly suspended in nutrient-rich and perfectly pH-balanced water, allows those without gardens to grow food inside fuss-free, mess-free all year round. Hydroponic plants also grow faster, produce more herbs, you don’t have to worry about over or under-watering your plants: also great for those with little or no growing experience as the process is so easy.”

 

The delivery process is simple. Choose your preferred delivery day during the checkout process, and we will hand-deliver your order on the day you choose, to all Greater London postcodes – there is a postcode checker on site. The Stem are currently operating a contact-free delivery service. Note – AL, CM, SL postcodes are also covered.

Quick Tips Before You Buy Any Beauty Product

Posted on by

Being a woman, you exactly know what type of product will suit your look. But when a new product arrives in the market or a product that has never been used by you, what should you do?

Beauty review, Glowing skin, good beauty products.

Here are some quick tips to help you buy the right product so that you don’t end up slathering your skin.

 

  1. Check for the ingredients: If you are allergic to something, you know it better. Check for the ingredients and search online if there are any allergic reactions of the same. For example, if you have dry hair, benzoyl peroxide is not good for you. Benzoyl peroxide causes excessive dryness and should be avoided in that case. On the other hand, it is a great resort for acne. So, check for the ingredients and choose the product accordingly.
  2. Similar products: If you are unable to get the detail of every ingredient, check out for similar products. It can be a life saver.
  3. Online reviews: When a product is launched, people love to post a review about it. Good, bad and ugly; every review is posted. See what you make out of it. Is there someone who shares her story, and you connect with her review? Check what she notes for the noted product.
  4. Importance of Undertones: If you know your skin’s undertones, you can shortlist colors accordingly. For cool undertones, neutral or pink-based foundation is the best. For warm undertones, yellow or peach based foundation will do the trick. So, know your skin tone and shortlist the colors accordingly.
  5. Get the opinion of the stylist: A stylist knows what product will suit your skin. Taking their advice can help you buy the perfect product without harming your skin. So, if you are planning to book an appointment with a stylist, here is a nordstrom coupon code to cut down your costs significantly.
  6. Ask your friends: Having a lot of friends, you are at an advantage. Ask them about the product and they will ask their sources. The chain will be big enough to get you a handful of reviews. This is one of the best sources to get a review about a beauty product.
  7. Physical Stores: If you are visiting a beauty store, use the salesperson’s knowledge to make a better choice. Ask them about the difference between a product you have used and one you have not used. If you are visiting the store without makeup, you can test more products before buying them. Also, there are companies who are happy to send samples on request. So, don’t hesitate to ask them for it. Give it a try. You might walk back with a sample so that you can decide whether the product is worth buying or not.

Concluding, there are a number of beauty products that have never been to your makeup bag. If you are planning to buy them, here is a nordstrom coupon. With this coupon, you can buy more and pay for less.

 

 

My Daddy is a Soldier Calendar

Posted on by

Our hearts nearly melted at Frost when this landed in our inbox. My Daddy is a Soldier Adventures supports the children (Little Troopers) of British Soldiers, both full time and those serving with the Reserves. They aim to build a community where the children and parent at home can support each other, share their experiences and coping mechanisms for long tours.  The charity has also developed unique resources such as the Separation pack; which includes monthly charts that the children use to count down until Mummy or Daddy is home again.

 

We love all of the photos but some of the highlights are:
  • March features little Joshua Hannon, aged 3 celebrating his Dad’s return home from Afghanistan
  • April shows Declan Jones 7 years old, and his Dad Sergeant Mike Jones on parade.
  • June features Reilly James Crowston with his Dad Craftman Michael Crowston.  Reilly was just nine days old and luckily Dad was at home for the birth because he was in special care for five days.
  • The back cover which has 27 shortlisted pictures showing army families from across the globe.

mydaddyisasoldier

This year the Little Troopers calendar will be A4 and include a useful family planner.  The calendars are just £9.99 and can be ordered from the Charity’s website www.mydaddyisasoldieradventures.org. All profits from the calendar will go towards the charity’s work and will help even more Little Troopers next year.

 

 

 

Luster Pro Light Review: UK’s First Complete DIY Teeth Whitening System

Posted on by

Out of all of the things you can do to look younger, whitening your teeth is one of the most important. It takes years off you. Teeth whitening can be expensive though, and scary. I have heard stories in the past of people burning away their gums. Thankfully these are now a thing of the past. The UK’s First Complete DIY Teeth Whitening System, Luster Pro Light has been released. Let’s find out if it works.

luster Pro Light Review

It uses the same paint-on whitening gel and Dual-Action ‘blue light’ technology that is used by dentists. Luster Pro Light does work and it also did not upset my sensitive teeth. It is clinically proven to be safe and effective which I was glad to read before I used it. I am always very cautious before I use anything. It can be a little bit of a pain pretreating with whitening solution, brushing and then applying the dual-action whitening. The ready-to-use trays which you put in your mouth are not exactly comfortable but this is all small fry and a minimal amount of effort that you can do in the comfort of your own home.

The treatment really does work. You can even use the rapid schedule and get results in 30 minutes. I will definitely use this again for top ups. Already a best-seller and close to becoming the No. 1 teeth whitening system in America where it first went on sale, this is good stuff indeed.

£49.99 from Boots.com or Boots.

Brides Embrace Grey Wedding Dresses After Kim Kardashian’s Vogue Cover

Posted on by

She is not exactly known as a high-fashion icon but it seems that notorious Vogue cover really has given Kim Kardashian some of the credibility she craves, along with some fashion kudos. eBay has seen a mammoth 260%* surge in sales of grey wedding dresses since Kim Kardashian’s recent appearance on the cover of Vogue (with fiancé Kanye West), wearing a similar design.

Despite growing rumblings about ‘Kimye’s’ upcoming ceremony in France, the chosen design for Kim’s wedding dress is still tightly under wraps. But it’s the stunning grey number she wore on the fashion bible’s April cover – with a sweetheart neckline and nipped waist – that British brides-to-be are coveting, proving that this surprising trend is one-to-watch this spring.

Muted grey tones, punchy floral designs, pastel blues and girlish greens were among the big hitters at the London Bridal Show in April, all prompting many women to reconsider the conventional white dress. Sales of these fashionable colours have similarly increased on eBay, with green wedding dresses up by 72%, blue gowns by 95%, and floral prints up by an incredible 107%*.
