SodaStream PLAY

SodaStream was a favourite of mine when I was a kid, and it's just as popular as ever now. You know it's super cool when Scarlett Johansson is their global brand ambassador!

I was excited when I first saw the colourful SodaStream PLAY machines. Available in black, white, yellow, blue and red, the sleek new design looks amazing and will be a fabulous addition to your kitchen bench - far too good to hide away. I love the glossy yellow against our pink kitchen wall.

I've been having lots of fun trying the different flavours and creating fun drinks for everyone. The kids love my Raspberry Coolers made with Sugar Free Cranberry-Raspberry, a handful of organic raspberries, and a sprig of mint.

My husband's favourite is sparkling water - he's easy to please! We keep a bottle in the fridge - it's a lovely alternative to still tap water. To make it a bit special I add a dash of lime juice and some cucumber, it's so refreshing, and will be a great Summer staple.

If I've got some girlfriends coming over I whip up a bottle of Sugar Free Pink Grapefruit. It's delicious as is, but try adding a splash of gin and a slice of lemon - the girls will love it.

There are so many flavours to try, including the single serve SodaCaps. If you haven't already got a SodaStream machine, why not put one on your Christmas wish list, or pick one up today, before your favourite colour sells out. Try Noel Leemings for a yellow SodaStream Play like mine, you won't regret it. And check out the SodaStream NZ Facebook page for more recipes, special offers, and competitions.

Mocka Vintage Stools

I always love to hear stories of how people take a negative and turn it into a positive. That's exactly what Mocka did when the 2011 Christchurch earthquakes threw their lives into upheaval. Instead of letting their family owned business suffer, they took the opportunity to relocate their base to larger premises and moved some of the family over the ditch to establish Mocka Australia. Now the business is bigger and better than ever, and they continue to release more and more cool, and affordable, products for your home.

Their Vintage Stools are a classic design that will look fantastic in your home. They are really sturdy, and perfect for the kids (big and small) to perch on. My daughter put them to the test recently and gave them a big "thumbs up".

Available in a range of colours, there is also a smaller version that will fit under their desks, or can be used as a side table. You'll be amazed at the wide range of products Mocka has on offer. Make sure you check out the full range, and keep up to date with all their news on their Facebook and Instagram pages.

Fenton & Fenton New Towel Range

A lot of you will know that I am a HUGE Fenton & Fenton fan. Just look at the divine colour and pattern they like to work with and you can see why. I was super excited to discover that they're releasing a fabulous range of towels just in time for Summer. Following on from Mr Fenton's Rugs, which are extremely popular, the towels boast similar bold, graphic designs, are luxuriously thick and made from 100% cotton.

Aren't they amazing?! The towels are due to arrive in store at the end of this month, but they're taking pre-orders now, online or in store. If anyone's looking to buy me a Christmas present, look no further! ;) Just in case the husband is reading this, and if you are - what do you think about painting one of outdoor walls hot pink?! Love it.
