Five Among Friends Q&A


Hello and welcome to this month's Five Among Friends! 


This month's questions were created by Lauren from MrsHippo&Me

The theme is... YOUR HOME (with photos!!)

''This month I thought I'd do something a little different. One photo alone speaks a thousand words so instead of you just writing your answers, I want to see them! So add an accompanying photo along with your answer'' Lauren @ MrsHippo&Me

1.) Where do you live? 

I live with the Mister in North London, not originally from London, infact neither of us are, we are both (proud) northerners





2.) Which room in your home do you spend the most time in and why? 

At the minute it s the bedroom, I am not going to lie, I love nothing more than laying in bed with my iPad watching Revenge via Amazon Prime Video Streaming.  But if not there then here:




The Allotment, not quite my home and a slight cheat, but as we don't have a garden we have the next best thing.  Our very own plot of land for growing things and for BeautykingUK to start fires and do man things in the shed!

3.)  Within your home, which is your most treasured item?

Cats... I couldn't imagine life without my boys (Hubby included of course), they mean the world to me and are my fur-kids. 






4.) Do you have a favourite item or group of items? This can be furniture, photographs, ornaments..anything you like. 

This is my favourite photo.  We got married in Vegas and didn't have an official photographer and a friend who was with us took this shot immediately after we got married, so this is the first photo of us being husband and wife.



5.) What is the strangest thing in your home? 

Well I don't know that anyone else can proudly announce that they have got crabs like I can... yes honestly I do... though they are in my aquarium with my tropical fish.




There you have it guys, we hope you enjoyed reading this month's Five Among Friends. Don't forget, you can join in on the fun too!! All you have to do is copy the questions on to your blog and add your link to the Linky below!

Face by HealGEL

HealGel is a brand I really really like.  The first thing that always catches my attention with the products from this range is the packaging, if you read my review of HealGel Eye then you will know I really rated it because it kind of looks like it has come from some very old fashioned pharmacy with its design and typeface and for me that really stood out.  The bottle itself is also as eye-catching and mimics the design of the box as you can see.

HealGel Face is a product I have been using a few times a week for a good few months now and the lovely people at HealGel say the following about this product:

"HealGel Face is an exceptional anti-ageing formula designed to smooth, firm and replenish to give instantly plumper, revitalised looking skin.

Arnica and Madecassoside are suspended in liposomes with powerful peptides and biodynes to initiate a uniquely soothing and collagen boosting process. HealGel Face also contains a unique blend of Omega Oils to replenish dehydrated skin and restore elasticity. To this another vital dimension is added; a powerful three part hyaluronic acid complex provides a plumping and tightening effect".

Well if that isn't enough to make you want to try it, I don't know what is.  To date both HealGel Eye and Face are really lightweight, the cream for me is more like a serum and once on the skin it is absorbed really quickly leaving no trace behind that it was really ever there other than this wonderful scent which appears from the natural oils, it is one of those scents that you most definitely get when you have been to a spa, instantly relaxing and you just know it is doing something good.

The bottle as you can see has a pump dispenser which I personally am a huge fan of, I believe products with pump dispensers are created this way because one pump from this is sufficient enough to cover your entire face and when you do so, I find it is instantly cooling on the skin, which is a really nice sensation.   Once on the face the notable difference in my skin is quite something, soft and smooth to the touch and on my cheeks where I often suffer from dry patches, HealGel Face is excellent in assisting me with moisturising that part of the skin, especially if I have just exfoliated and the same effect when I use it on the sides of my nose, which again I have issues with dry skin.

You can purchase HealGel Face for £48.00 and I will be sad when my tube runs out because I absolutely love using it.

What do you think of HealGel Face? 
Have you tried any products from within the HealGel Range?

HealGel was created by a team of leading British plastic and cosmetic surgeons with the help of a renowned dermatological biochemist and a well known actor. They wanted to create products that helped them with their work, and to be able to provide the reassurance of genuinely effective skin care.
