It’s been a while but I am back with ‘That’s What I Call New’ number 4. A round-up of some goodies I have been sent
over the past wee while to give a try. Being a blogger certainly has it’s
benefits!

Packed with protein, I intend to experiment with them in my
baking. You know my liking for the quirky, so stay tuned! Retails at £5.69 for a 50 gram bag of buffalo worms.

Next up Joseph Joseph sent me a few new products to try.
Firstly their Slice and Sharpen Wooden Chopping Board with Integrated knife
sharpnener. This chopping board is great – firstly I prefer wooden chopping
boards – they are much kinder to knives and if treated correctly can last a
long time. The knife sharpener which is located in the handle is perfectly
placed – allowing you to give your knives a quick sharpen just before you start
chopping. The boards come in small and large sizes. Available from the website, starting at £20.
Joseph Joseph also sent me three of their multi-peel tools (available from £8 for 4) to try out – all with different functions.

Next I was sent the Beets BLU Heart Monitor and Pager Tag to
try. You might be wondering why I chose to try out a heart monitor. I do try
and stay fit and run when I can – although I haven’t been able to as often I
would like lately. The heart rate monitor allows you to check your performance
whilst exercising. If you have a smartphone, then you download from a choice of
apps and pair it with the monitor. Before your workout you clip it around your
chest, and the app does all the work.
For me, I have to say, I don’t take my phone out running
with me, or to the gym, so I found it
frustrating having to have my phone with me. But if you take yours normally,
this would be no hassle. You do need to wet the sensors on the monitor before
attaching to get a better connection, so it does take a minute or two to put on.
On the plus side, you can see on the app your performance
and how much work you are doing so, a great tool to keep you motivated and set
new goals for yourself. This retails at Amazon for £29.95.

Beets BLU also sent me a pager tag. A very handy device,
about the size of two postage stamps, which you can track remotely from your
phone. You can use this to keep an eye on the whereabouts of keys, your wallet
or purse (it is thin enough to slip in there) or even on your dog’s collar for
example. If your tagged object falls outwith a radius of about 5 metres then an app on your phone alerts you. Very handy for the forgetful among us. This retails at Amazon for £18.95.
Thanks to everyone who sent me their products to try!

Don't think I'm brave enough to try those worms! I'm very intrigued to see what you bake with them though!! Love the name badge :)
