Galentine’s Day is a new concept and was started back in 2010 on the American comedy television series Parks and Recreation. Celebrated on 13th February it is a day to celebrate important female friendships and is the perfect excuse to get your girlfriends together for the evening.

If you are planning a get together at home this Galentine’s Day then the 5 Second Rule Uncensored Round 2 from Playmonster Games is bound to give you a good giggle. The game is a spin-off of the popular family game but in this version the cards contain some questions with an adult content and comes with a recommended age of 17+

Inside the box are:

  • 150 doubled-sided question cards
  • Twisted timer – which makes a silly noise whenever it’s flipped. 
  • Rules

The game is really easy to set up, you simply choose a question card from the box, turn the timer and you’re ready to play. You have 5 seconds to name 3 things on the card – which sounds easier than it actually is so you do have to think quickly. With questions like “Name 3 things you nibble”, “Name 3 things you can do with whipped cream” and “Point to 3 places sand gets stuck after a trip to the beach” it’s not a game for people who are easily embarrassed or prudish. There are some quite risqué questions in the box too so it’s probably best to play it with people you know very well and not your Mum!

To score a point you need to name 3 items and you then keep the card, making keeping track of the points nice and easy. If the player can’t name 3 items, play passes onto the next player however, they can’t use any of the answers that have already been used, making it quite tricky.  

If no one can get three answers and all the players have had a turn, the original person is awarded the point by default. The player to the right of the starting player then picks a card and it starts again until the agreed upon number of rounds has finished.

We had a great night playing 5 Second Rule Uncensored, it is a great adult party game that quickly gets everyone laughing.

It can feel quite daunting choosing a new shampoo, there are so many different ones available for every hair type, so whether your hair is short, long, curly, coloured, oily, dry or anything in between there is a product for you. Whilst we are spoilt for choice when it comes to the haircare market it can start to get expensive trying new products, and it’s quite frustrating spending hard earned money on new products only to find they don’t suit your hair. We’re all feeling the pinch at the minute, so The Review Studio have been trying out a selection of hair products and sharing our favourites with you.

FFØR stands for Free From, Original, Real and as you’ve probably guessed from the name are an ethical company who believe in Clean Beauty, both for you and the planet. Their products are vegan, cruelty free and free from nasties and they only work with likeminded, ethical suppliers who can provide verified information about their sourcing, and who share their important values. They are also winners of the Marie Claire 2022 Hair Awards and the Global Green Beauty Awards so with such impressive credentials I was keen to see how the products performed on my dry frizzy hair.

The Re:Nourish shampoo lathers up nicely into a rich foam and rinses out very easily.  My hair felt very clean and well hydrated after use. The shampoo is perfect for dry and damaged hair and is infused with organic orange and cinnamon giving it a lovely fragrance which is subtle but very pleasant.

The Re:Nourish conditioner is rich and creamy and easy to apply to my hair, before rinsing I scrunched it into my hair which helps add moisture to my curls. It rinsed out easily leaving my hair tangle free.

I use a hair mask weekly so was pleased to find a Re:Plenish hair mask in the gift set.  It is thicker than the conditioner and once applied I combed it through from root to tip to ensure that it was applied evenly. The instructions say to leave it on your hair for 3-5 minutes before rinsing so as my hair needs lots of moisture, I left it on for the full 5 minutes so that it could penetrate my hair properly. Afterwards my hair was soft, smooth, nourished, frizz free and smelt lovely too.

After using these products for 2 weeks I can see a huge improvement in my hair, it feels nourished and moisturised, and the frizz has gone, it also looks a lot shinier than it was before. My curls look great, even without extra styling products and they are defined and bouncy.

The Re:Nourish gift set costs £39 so why not give the gift of great hair this Galentine’s Day with FFØR.
