Sunraysia Juice Review & Giveaway

By 13 Comments

As a vegetarian, I am a huge lover of fruit and one of my favourite things about fruit is their juice.

 

I’m a big juice drinker, so I recently jumped at the chance to review Sunraysia’s Prune and Cranberry Juices.

 

Prune Juice

 

We are already big fans of Sunraysia’s Prune Juice and drink it frequently to help keep us regular.

 

Whenever either of my kids are constipated, I give them a serve of Prune Juice, usually mixed in with their cereal, and it works a treat. I’ve always got a bottle or two in the pantry for this specific purpose.

 

Not only is Sunraysia Prune juice made from 100% fruit but it also has no added sugar, no preservatives, no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

 

It’s naturally full of antioxidants that fight free radicals and dietary fibre that contributes to digestive health and comfort. It’s hard not to love something that’s so good for you.

 

Cranberry Juice

 

I must admit, I have only ever had Cranberry juice with Vodka mixed with it ;), so I was curious to see what it was like on its own.


I was pleasantly surprised to discover that I really like the taste of it. When I found out that cranberries are full of antioxidants, which help fight the effects of ageing, I was wondering why I hadn’t been guzzling it (without the vodka) sooner.

 

Even though it’s the middle of winter, I really enjoyed it chilled with a couple of ice cubes in it.

 

Cranberries and cranberry juice have earned a reputation for packing an antioxidant punch and as a natural medication for urinary tract infections. Sunraysia’s Cranberry juice contains no preservatives, no artificial colours, flavours or sweeteners.

 

Sunraysia is an Australian family owned and operated natural beverage company founded to provide people with high quality beverages that deliver specific natural benefits and taste delicious.

 

 

Thanks to Sunraysia, I have some juice to giveaway. Two lucky readers will each win 3 x 750ml Prune Juice and 3 x 750ml Cranberry Juice.

Blue Day at Uni Hill Factory Outlet

By 7 Comments

I had a couple of spare hours earlier this week, so what did I do?

I went shopping of course!

I’d been dying to get down to the newly refurbished Uni Hill Factory Outlet in Bundoora, so jumped at the chance for a couple of child free shopping hours courtesy of Grandma.

I barely made it through the door when I spotted Simone Pérèle . I just love this store, as I can always find bras in my size and it’s so nice to get a proper fitting (I haven’t had one since I stopped breastfeeding last year). I couldn’t resist this blue bra for only $50 (RRP $89.95) and am planning to go back and get more in different colours.

My next stop (only a couple of doors down) was Milu. I haven’t bought shoes for myself in a little while, so I was like a kid in a candy store. There were several pairs I loved but couldn’t resist this pair of blue suede shoes (cue music) for only $79.00 (RRP $139).

From there I headed to Converse, where I picked up a gorgeous pair of Chuck Taylor All Star Hi’s for my little man (blue of course). The were marked down from $50 to $30.

I then popped into Jetty Surf and picked up a new bag (because a girl can never have too many AND I really loved the colour). The bag was also on sale for $30 (RRP $59.95). It’s a great bag for throwing a few things in when I’m out with the kids and is big enough for a nappy wallet and other essentials.

I also picked up a gorgeous maxi dress (yes, I am a maxi addict) from Sorbet for only $20! Yes, that’s right, $20 (RRP $79.95). Now I just need to wait for it to warm up again so I can wear it.

All in all, I had a fabulous (kid free) morning, with lots of bargains and nearly all of them for me. It was only when I got home that I realised that nearly everything I bought was blue.

I can’t wait to go back again.

{GIVEAWAY} I’ve got $20 vouchers for the Simone Pérèle store at Uni Hill for two readers to win! All you need to do is visit the Uni Hill Factory Outlet website and tell me 3 stores you’d love to go shopping in. Leave your answer below. Entries close 10pm (AEST) on 16/5/12. Winners drawn randomly and announced on this page on 17/5/12. Good luck!
