Review - Mondss Underarm Wear*

Mondss!
When Jane McTernan contacted me about reviewing Mondss Underarm Wear, I was intriuged. 

At the time, I was after starting a new job and I thought they would be perfect to keep me fresh in the kitchens, where the heat, the sweat and the lack of comfort can be rife. When you sweat in a kitchen, you'd want to be sure your anti-perspirant is on point. So when these dropped through the letter box, I knew I was going to put them through one HELL of a trial, just to see what they are really made of. 

Mondss are shaped like a blunt wedge shape, with sticky adhesive all the way around bar a small section in the middle of each side to allow your armpit to bend. They are SO comfortable, they're soft and they are discreet. They lasted me for a whole afternoon the first time I used them... 

Now since they arrived I got let go from that job, so I've trialled them during a hardcore session in my own kitchen, where I have no whites to conceal the sweat and the potential for whiffy-ness. I used them last time I made a cake, which took 2 hours to bake and left the kitchen absolutely stifling, and meant I had to prep, cook, clean and finish all by myself. I wore a grey-marl Hobbit shirt, known for showing sweat stains and everything was perfect!! 

Last week I wore them to Zumba to see if they would be suitable for wearing in the gym, out running or for a general workout, and I'm pleased to report that they are as much suited to active-wear as they are to wearing to work or a party. Admittedly the extra movement encumbers the adhesive and means it wont last you a whole day but if you find you sweat like a beast in the gym, these are for you!! 

Check out Janes wonderful product at Mondss.com.
They retail for 9.99 and at the moment, if you buy 3 packs, you get free shipping! 

If you have tried Mondss, let me know how you got on!!

The Christmas Tag!!

Hey all!! Christmas is coming rapidly this way and when I saw this tag on Sunshine & Skittles, I knew I had to do it!! I love the run up to Christmas, more than I enjoy the day, actually! Check out my answers down below!

1. What is your favourite Christmas Movie/s?
I always loved The Santa Clause, and though it's not a Christmas movie per se, I love the original Willy Wonka movie. That and Singin' in The Rain. They always make me feel so festive!

2. Do you open your presents on Christmas Eve or Christmas morning?
I open my family presents on Christmas Day, and then I get to have a mini-Christmas with Chris cause we live so far apart. Usually my Uncle Charlie (mums brother) gets me my present early and gives it to me early too. It's a tradition to have one really early to build the excitement! 

3. Do you have a favourite Christmas memory?
When all my sisters lived at home, there was 4 of us, and my mum and dad. We used to have to queue for the bathroom and it was always so funny to see the line of us waiting down the hallway. 

4. Favourite festive food?
I'm a demon for Christmas pudding. As I've gotten older, my mum has made me my own pudding to have all to myself. I'm a glutton around Christmas though, plain and simple. 

5. Favourite Christmas gift?
Probably the year my dad got me a laptop. He had just retired from work with his heart and my family told me he probably wouldn't be able to get me anything which was totally fine. You should have seen me when he produced this giant box and a big card. 

6. Favourite Christmas scent?
Home baking. We make a veritable deluge of Christmas fare, mince pies, cake, puddings, trifles, buns, you name it! Yum! 

7. Do you have any Christmas Eve traditions?
We all go to mass and then go home, watch a film and have a glass of Baileys! 

8. What tops your tree?
An angel! 

9. As a kid what was the one (crazy, wild, extravagant) gift you always asked for but never received?
As bad as this sounds, I always got what I wanted for Christmas. Some years though my family insist on getting presents rather than vouchers with bothers me. I'm hard to buy for so vouchers make life easier. 

10. What's the best part about Christmas for you?

Getting to eat my mams amazing dinner, watch awful old movies, eat a whole tin of roses and then slip into a serious sleep. 

Now for the tagging! I tag:
Chloe
Robyn
Zoe, 
and Nirina 

Hope you're feeling festive ladies!! :D
