Following on from my recent run with the impressive urban CloudSwift trainers, I am now excited to be testing out another pair. This time the OnCloud Men's Cloud Venture Peak. I set to the hills. These are tougher shoes and are specialised for trail running and long off-road runs in mind. Heavier than the Cloudswift, weighing in at just 295 grams, it’s still a lightweight trail running shoe that's big on cushioning, protection and grip.

After my 15-minute warm up exercise routine, I set out on bi-weekly 4-mile city run. I wanted to put these Cloudswift trainers to the test. Before I put them on, I had to re-lace the trainers. Call it what you like but since an early age I have to make sure the lengths are correct on the laces as well as the tension across the top of my feet. This process was over quickly and soon were upon my feet. The first thing I noticed was how light they felt, very bouncy and springy too.

For those of us who have ever felt overwhelmed by the variety of buttons and functions on a coffee machine, the all-new Avanza from Melitta is here to save the day. The Avanza is undoubtedly one of the smallest and slimmest fully-functional coffee machines on the market - it’s only 20cm wide! Striking in its compact simplicity, the coffee machine boasts a newly developed control panel that’s remarkably easy to use. Perfect for when you’ve just rolled out of bed!

These polarised aviator sunglasses from Maui JIm put a fetching spin on an old classic. Aviators have always been the best sunglasses style for me to wear, so I was thrilled to review these. The style is timeless, but that doesn’t mean these glasses are just more of the same. Maui Jim have made them with attention to detail; the arms of these glasses are very slim, yet being made of lightweight titanium, they don’t feel fragile.

When winter comes around, it soon becomes tough to rise and shine – because there is no shine! The long dark mornings make waking up early and getting ready for the day an arduous task. But fear not, the Wake-Up Light Alarm Clock with Radio from Groov-e can help you. Groov-e has crafted a sleek and modern looking alarm clock that looks designer. It has a digital interface that is easily navigated with touch control. Fundamentally, it tells the time and it wakes you up, whilst coming with traditional digital alarm clock features such as an FM radio.
