Nursery Trader Best Baby and Toddler Gear Awards - The Winners

I was extremely lucky recently because I was picked to take part in the testing/reviewing of some of the products for the Nursery Trader Baby and Toddler Gear Awards, their sister company Pushchair Trader was also involved, picking the best of the best pushchairs.!!

Over 100 reviewers were involved and it has taken 3 long months checking each and every detail but decisions have finally been made and the medals have been issued.

For each category gold, silver and bronze medals were awarded and you can also see the entrants that were shortlisted.

The category I was reviewing was Changing Bag Under £100. As a huge lover of bags this was the perfect category for me.

There were 7 bags in this category to be considered, the brands included : Lassig, Pink Lining, Mabyland, Bababing andHamilton Turnberry. Three of these came out on top and I was really pleased to see that my favourite received the gold award :

Lassig Green Label Neckline Bag

Receiving the silver award :

Pink Lining Not So Plain Changing Bag

And receiving bronze : 

Lassig Vintage Metro Rosebud Fairytales

All very deserving winners in my opinion!!! What do you think, do any of them catch your eye??

You can head over to the Nursery Trader site to have a look at the results in full and see who all of the other winners were.

The Shredding Results Are In

Yesterday was my final day of the 30 day shred. So was it worth, are there any siginificant changes from the beginning.

Well for me personally no not really, which is hugely disappointing considering all of the effort I put in.

Here are my starting and ending weights, measurements and pictures :

Start                                 End

Waist : 25 inches             Waist : 24.5 inches

Hips : 35 inches               Hips : 34.25 inches

Weight 7stone 6lbs          Weight : 7stone 5lbs

Before

After

I think the trouble is I didn't have a lot to lose weight wise, it was more about toning. I have gained muscle definition in both my arms and my legs however I failed to lose anything from my stomach which is one place on my body that I really did want to improve.

Although I didn't the results that I desired, I am going to carry on exercising, next on my list is Jillian Michaels ripped in 30 as I have to admit even if I haven't changed like I wished, I do feel better in myself, I seem to have more energy.

Did any of you get involved with Shredtober, what were your end results??
