Drink Me Chai - 2 lovely drinks

I had the pleasure of receiving samples of 2 drinks from http://drinkmechai.co.uk/index.html.

• One was the Vanilla Chai which is a fragrant blend of sweetened tea, skimmed milk and creamy vanilla flavours - Oh wow... this was fantastic! I had it hot and it was divine! You can also have it chilled with ice.. which I will have to try when the summer finally arrives I think! It was so creamy and the vanilla flavour was just right. Not too strong nor too week - just perfect.
• The second one was the Spiced Chai which is a luxurious blend of sweetened tea, skimmed milk and exotic spices. Again this was very yummy!! I had it hot which is just perfect during the cold nights that we are still getting. The blend of flavours I think is just right - refreshing and tasty all rolled into one.

The range is 99% caffeine free which makes it great for a bed time drink... looking forward to trying the other flavours out soon.. maybe you should too!

Got stains on your carpet? Review of Vanish powershot Carpet Stain Remover

I recently got sent a product from a national magazine to test and review. The product is Vanish Powershot Carpet Stain Remover.
I tried this on some very old stubborn stains on a cream carpet. I followed the instructions and sprayed the stain and left for 60 seconds and then rubbed with a clean white cloth... nothing happened. I repeated it 2 more times.. I would say the stain is less noticeable after this but still there. However I did use it on a very recent stain of some tea spillage and again I followed the instructions - sprayed and then immediately rubbed it down. This seemed to work pretty well although not 100% the first time. I repeated it again and after this second attempt the stain had pretty much gone! I would say that this product is good for new/fresh stains but not good for old/stubborn marks.
It is easy to use... in a spray can. It has quite a string odour but this doesn't linger for long. I would probably give it 7/10 for performance!
