As a busy mum of two, I very rarely get time to think, never mind give myself a pamper. I'm always on the go so when I was offered the chance to try out a pair of moisturising gel slippers from Simply Feet, I was so grateful.

The slippers are available in cow and leopard print. I love leopard print so that was an easy decision! The slippers look just like regular slippers with the exception of the lining inside.

The inside of the slippers feel, as the name suggests, like gel. This gel is infused with seven natural botanical and essential oils; avocado, olive, mineral, jojoba, grape seed, canola and soybean oils, and they are enriched with aloe vera, green tea and willow fragrance. When I first opened them I gave them the sniff test and I really liked how they didn't have a chemical scent but were rather floral and feminine.

I followed the instructions to a T: wash feet thoroughly (I'd wear them after I'd had a shower), put them on gently and wear them 2-3 times a week for 20-30 minutes. After the first use, my skin felt smoother and softer straight away and even the fragrance transferred. They are a little tight to get on due to the gel. I chose the Medium slipper which suits foot sizes 5-6.5 as I am a 6 but they were still very comfortable.

Cleaning them is easy, you just need to turn them inside out and wipe with a cloth. I've used them around 16 times and the gel still works as well now as it did in the beginning.

I would definitely recommend these slippers to anyone and I think they'd make a wonderful Christmas gift.

The Geluxury Moisture Replenishing Slippers are available in sizes Small to Extra Large (2.5-10.5) and you can choose between leopard or cow print. They retail at £30.00 and you can purchase them from Simply Feet.

(Disclaimer: We received these slippers for the purpose of this post. All thoughts and opinions are my own.)

A few weeks ago now, we were approached by Sock Ons to see if we would like to try out some of their products. Sock Ons are a revolutionary product that are designed to keep baby's socks on their feet. We have received two pairs of Sock Ons in green and orange to try out on the baby when she arrives at the beginning of next month so look out for my review on those!

In addition to Sock Ons, they also sell Dribble Ons (bandana bibs), Plod Ons (baby knee protectors for crawling) and Mocc Ons.

C was sent a pair of Mocc Ons to test out.

Mocc Ons are moccasin style slipper socks and they are available for children aged 6 months to 3 years. C is 23 months old and he received a gorgeous blue baseball boot-style pair in age 24-36 months so they are a little bit big on him but I'm happy that he will get plenty of wear out of them. C does run around the house in his bare feet but since receiving these, he's been wearing them non-stop! They are essentially a soft and stretchy cotton sock stitched to real leather sole. They seem to keep his feet warm and the leather sole ensures that he isn't sliding around on our living room floor and hurting himself.

C has chunky legs so the top of the sock does leave a mark if he's in them too long. I love the design and they haven't lost their shape even after a few goes in the washing machine. He seems to really enjoy wearing them. He couldn't stop staring at his feet and stomping around the first time I put them on him. They must be comfortable as he seems to have no complaints!

They are available in a wide range of designs and colours so you're sure to find something that you/your child will like!

They are priced at £10.49 and are well worth the money, in my opinion. I tend to find that C can take his slippers off or they can fall off easily but this isn't the case with the Mocc Ons. They would make a lovely gift too!

You can find a list of Mocc Ons stockists here and you can find out more on the website, Facebook and Twitter.
