Year after year, I suffer from what my mum used to call the “post-Christmas blues” but is commonly referred to as SAD (Seasonal Affective Disorder). As a result, I am always interested in any product that claims to be able to help. I try to use my lightbox around this time of the year to keep those low and tired feelings away, but it is quite large and requires plugging in at the mains, which means if I am not sat at my desk first thing in the morning, I miss that important early dose recommended for my symptoms.

Gelish are a company that allows you to create beautiful gel nails from the comfort of your own home. Gels, for those not in the know, are something in between nail polish and false nails, they can be used to extend the nail or simply create a high polish colourful finish that should last you a couple of weeks without cracking peeling or chipping.

It always makes me grin when you see “mens” skin care products branded especially for men. For some reason men and women are encouraged to believe there is a major difference between female and male skin, like women’s is delicate and soft whilst men possess tough and rugged body sacks.

By using a combination of Sonic Pulse Technology and a unique silicone brush head to help gently clean your teeth and gums, the ISSA toothbrush by Foreo aims to provide a revolutionary way of cleaning your teeth.

The Clear Rayz by Baby Quasar For Him is a light-based skin care treatment that claims to reduce inflammation and fight acne. As with any male skin care product it is available in two masculine approved colours, Stormy Weather (slate/blue) or Titanium (grey), we received the Titanium version that comes with a grey carry case, relevant cables and a pair of protective goggles.

There’s no denying it - as the years go by my skin is slowly losing its youthfulness. Unlike wine and cheese, sadly, skin does not get better with age. The Tua Tre’ndface is a device that promises to improve the appearance of your skin without surgery.

You might be forgiven for thinking that a strong pelvic floor is only something women need to focus on after having a baby, but in fact it is equally important for men to keep the muscles strong - especially in later years. A strong pelvic floor can help to control bladder and bowel functions, as well as playing an important role in sexual function, by preventing and treating pelvic pain and lack of sensation.

High blood pressure can be deadly: if left unchecked and untreated over time, it could lead to a stroke, kidney damage, loss of vision and damage to the heart, amongst other things. One of the difficulties of high blood pressure is that most of the time, it is symptomless. The Omron Evolv is a portable personal blood pressure monitor that allows you to get an accurate reading without the use of tubes or wires. It has a compact design and comes with a handy carry case, making it super portable.

As someone whose hair is naturally poker straight, anything that promises to give it some volume and curls is always of interest to me. This thick 32mm iron aims to create large, bouncy and long-lasting curls. This iron has a clipless design that provides a consistent, even heat without causing dents or crimps in the hair or snagging inside the mechanism. It also reduces heat at the end of the iron to protect the hair’s most delicate area, the tips, from heat damage.

Picture the scene: my fiancé is brushing his teeth in the bathroom, minding his own business. When he bends over to spit the toothpaste into the sink and stands up straight, he sees the reflection of a white masked face standing behind him holding a rolling pin. Understandably, he jumps out of his skin and yells at me whilst showering me in toothpaste, saying he thought that Michael Myers had come to bash his head in (how was I to know he watched Halloween the night before?)
