Yummy yummy! Zico Coconut Water Chocolate Flavour




This was an accidental find as I was originally looking for normal plain coconut water. You have to look properly around the neck of the bottle to see which flavour you have.  I had unknowingly picked up chocolate flavour and to my absolute delight, it tasted AMAZING!!!! I would never have normally chosen chocolate coconut water but I am sooooo glad I tasted it.

It has a light, pleasant mild chocolate taste.  Almost like a light, thirst quenching milkshake (although it is dairy free).  Best served cold and a great way to curb a chocolate craving!  Even if you don't like the taste of coconut, give this a try as it doesn't taste of coconuts.  It comes in a 400ml screw top plastic bottle.

It is very good for you. This is what Zico say......

"Our natural, premium coconut water contains 5 electrolytes including as much potassium as a banana per bottle—providing you with some Oomph. ZICO Chocolate coconut water is a naturally gluten-free, lactose-free, and dairy-free beverage—making it one of the most delicious forms of replenishment this side of the tropics."

Available from waitrose.com  £2 (currently on offer for £1) Tesco, Zico.com and Amazon

Rituals Hammam Delight: Fresh Eucalyptus & Rosemary Foaming Shower Gel Sensation

This has got to be one of the most delightful shower gels I have ever had the pleasure of using.  First of all, let me talk about the scent!  *goes to have a sniff* A clean, warming aroma of eucalyptus but not in a typical cold and flu relief way, but more of a spa massage room scent.  Absolutely beautiful.  Not too masculine or feminine so definitely unisex.  When pumped onto a bath scrunchie, you only need a small amount to unleash a mass of uplifting, creamy foam.  (Great for shaving with!) You are left with soft and delicately fragranced skin.  Every time I use the shower gel my mood is lifted and I immediately feel happy.  This was such an wonderful yet unexpected find from Rituals... They specialise in all things bath, body and beauty with an indulgent spa feel and edge to their product range.  "The Hammam Ritual from the East is one of the oldest cleansing traditions in the world.  Rituals brings this unique experience into your own home with products that purify, soften and nourish the skin." Whats your favorite uplifting shower gel/bath product experience?
