REVIEW: Original source shower gel

Today I thought that I would talk about something slightly different and that is original source shower gel / products. Me and my family have been using these products for a very long time, not only are these lovely scented and cheap but they're vegan and cruelty free! Prices often vary and are mainly on offer but are usually £1.50 with a few exceptions, this is quite cheap considering their quality and they contain 250ml's worth of shower gel.

They have a huge range of shower gels scents from mint & tea tree to watermelon. They use mostly natural fragrances and moisturising ones too. They have recently bought out a new range of moisturising shower milks, all of which are made with plant based milk, such as coconut, almond, vanilla and bamboo. My personal favourite is the vanilla & raspberry shower gel. This company also makes great hand washes which tend not to leave your hands feeling dry!

The key reason I thought that it was necessary to mention their products is because they seem so unnoticed, their products are quality not to mention the amazing scent too. Never do they fail to hydrate your skin and leave them feeling smooth and they're affordable too. For more information check out their website >http://www.originalsource.co.uk

DIY: Easy vegan ice-cream

Ice-cream is one of the most perfect summer treats however most recipes are not vegan and often take a lot difficult ingredients and a lot of prep time. I have tried this simple recipe many times before and not a single time has it failed me. Things you will require for this DIY are: blender, freezer, banana (or other mushy soft fruit), clingfilm, a knife and plate.

The first step is to peel or prepare your fruit - this includes washing it if necessary, after that place it on a medium sized plate and begin slicing it into small bitesize chunks. Once that is complete, just grab your clingfilm and cover your plate full of delicious fruit! I recommend that you put it into your freezer for at least 6-8 hours, you know its ready to come out when the fruit is covered in a sort of thin layer of ice and doesn't slide around.

Once the freezing process is finished just peel of the clingfilm and put your fruit into a blender or a bowl to mash. If you are struggling to get it off then just use a fork and knife to slide under a pull it off, if there is any ice left on the plate simply scrape that off too into your blender. Blend your fruit, pour the mixture into a bowl and done!

Side Note:                                  
This ice cream will melt quite quickly and have a few lumps. This recipe is ideal for vegans or anybody looking for a simple healthy snack! You could also put your fruit into a freezer bag and put it in a bowl of ice and salt for a quick freezing process. Enjoy!
