  • Fresh and shiny

    This tooth brush is great. I have braces and found it very effective in getting under my wires and is also gentle enough when my gums are sensitive. I would recommend it to my friends. Fresh clean smile. ????

  • MY battery just ran out.

    I have been waiting to see how long the battery life was before I posted my last review. It was 19 days! That is incredible! I love when you charge your toothbrush you can pop it on the charger any way. My children with other leading electric toothbrush always put them on the wrong way forcing them down. I still love all the features of this toothbrush, my only fault is I would like the on button to be higher. I always go to turn it on and the button is not where my thumb is and I need to look where the button is. I highly recommend this toothbrush.

  • Wonderful Clean

    An exceptional electric toothbrush! I really feel like I have been to the dentist and have clean teeth, after every use. It’s very easy to use and has a great design too. It’s great value for money! I would gladly recommend it to my family and friends.

  • First Impressions

    Just received this is the mail today and have to say that I am both impressed and intrigued by the design. This unit is much more streamline and lightweight than I recall my previous versions being (many years ago). So it appears better suited to the little people in the house who are able to grip the narrower handle and manoeuvre the unit more easily. It also seems to have less grooves on the back of the head and the handle for water/toothpaste to accumulate and cause build up, meaning it’s easier to clean too. I am intrigued by the movement of the brush head. My previous experience with electric toothbrushes has been for the head to rotate. This unit does not do that. Instead, it pivots from side to side and up and down, causing a gentle vibration. Interested to see how well it does the job. But from an aesthetic point of view, I think it will suit our young children very well. Looking forward to the charging phase being over and the real test beginning :)

  • Fantastic toothbrush.

    I had another electric toothbrush before receiving the Colgate ProClinical. It is fantastic. Light weight with a cover makes it easy to travel with and stays charged for over a week.
    Would never go back to the other type of electric toothbrush.

  • Couldn't be happier

    Couldn’t be happier with our Colgate ProClinical, no more yelling to get teeth cleaned as she loves it and her teeth are looking so much better. It seems to be helping a lot with the build up caused by her medication

  • Colgate has changed my life!

    To be chosen to review the Colgate Proclinical C250 ElectricToithbrush has given my the opportunity to take a task that I had to do each and every day to a whole new level of oral hygiene. I have enjoyed the new light weight feel of the toothbrush along with its soft feather like bristles that removed the remnants of the day to disappear without any stress or bleeding to my surrounding gums. It leaves your teeth and gums feeling refreshed, clean and smooth with little effort and is barely heard compared to other electric toothbrushes I have encountered. Which is great trying to brush your teeth early in the morning while trying not to wake my husband when getting ready for my nursing shifts. The toothbrush and my photos have entrigued my friends and family and I will to rave about its benefits to everyone and anyone whom asks or really needs to know how compact, convienent and clinically complete this piece of technology has provided. Colgate has continued to surprise and complete my daily oral hygiene rituals! Love it!

  • Will never use a manual brush again

    I applied for this review as my dentist had suggested I try an electric toothbrush. I was sceptical a brush is a brush right? Well I am happy to admit I was wrong. Whilst they first few times of using an electric brush felt completely strange the clean feeling my mouth had kept me wanting to re-use it. After brushing with the Colgate Pro Clinical my whole mouth feels fresh and clean. I’ve noticed that my fresh clean feeling lasts so much longer than when I use a manual brush. I am definately a convert and have already planned to get the whole family electric toothbrushes. Do your mouth a favour and give it a go!

  • move over other tooth brushes

    Colgate ProClinical is my tooth brush collections best friend, as the others get to rest up while it does all the work. It was great to have my teeth feel really clean. I can feel and see the results. Pro clinical is easy to use and feels soft against the teeth, never hard.

  • Highly recommend

    I missed out on the trial so I spoke to my dental hygienist about its benefits and bought one. She takes measurements and records them. At my next consultation she informed me that my teeth had actually improved, something that many people don’t achieve.

  • Definitely a product I'd recommend to others!

    I bought this product being sceptical at first. After the first use I immediately noticed the difference. The brush has nice soft bristles which are perfect for sensitive teeth and gums. The product itself is lightweight and slim in design making it an ease to hold and control. I also thought the two minute timer was a cool feature to include.

  • Not bad at all!

    I have probably purchased about 5 electric toothbrushes in the past two years. I have always struggled trying to make my teeth feel clean and I finally tried the pro clinical and it’s a lot easier than any other electric toothbrush. My teeth feel a lot cleaner. The price wasn’t the cheapest but I’m glad I purchased it.

  • Could not be happier

    This toothbrush is brilliant. It is such a little pocket-powered device. I just took it away on holidays with the kids over the holidays and I didn’t need to use the charger once. Although I did take it just in case. I had to go get another one as the kids were fighting over it. It seems that this brush is a definite game changer for our household. Miss 5 and 9 love it. I have also seen my hubby eyeing it off and he has been a fan of a competitive brand for years.

  • Light weight Colgate electric toothbrush

    The toothbrush was ok for a cheap to average priced electric toothbrush. When i compare it to other electiric toothbrushes i have used it was not the best. I just didnt get that ‘just from the dentist clean’ feeling. I felt that the bristles were too soft and would have prefered harder ones.

  • Sparkly shiny amazing clean feeling

    I opened this package and was a bit dubious that it would give me a complete clean. I charged it, took no time at all. Put my product on it and I was amazed. I observed the result after the clean – I was surprised by the reflection. Everyone had to wear sunglasses when I smiled. I trialed he good old fashioned way – manual. This literally blew it out the water. Highly recommended.

  • A few weeks later..

    So its been a few weeks now and im still loving the my colgate electric toothbrush. The sonic wave element is fantastic!! I can feel that it is actually working and getting in all the tricky spots and using it in conjuction with colgates whitning toothpaste has bern working a treat. Ive even had people comment on how clean and white my teeth are which is no doubt the whitning toothpaste aswell. The body is extremely light and easy to handle, it sits well on the dock and doesnt lose any power whilst in use. I would have no problem recommending it to family and friends.

  • Great tooth brush

    I just bought my new electric tooth brush from Coles and have to say I am not a huge fan of electric toothbrushes at all. However this one I have to say I feel is the best I have ever tried! It really does clean my teeth well and it’s not too harsh on my gums either. Having sensitive teeth I don’t like abrasive things on my teeth but was pleasantly surprised with this brush. I will probably recommend it to others or keep the delight of this brush to myself :)

  • Loving the clean mouth feeling after I brush

    Having used the electric tooth brush now for a couple of weeks now, I am getting used to the vibrations & not knocking my teeth on it nearly as much now. The battery stays charge for a long time, a week or so, which is fabulous! The clean mouth feeling that I am left with after I brush is truly amazing, it just feels so much cleaner than with a manual brush. I will never go back ! LOL

    I am very happy with the toothbrush and would highly recommend it to family & friends alike. It is an amazing product that will leave your mouth feeling so much more cleaner after a brush. It’s light, portable, with a long battery life so you only need charge it once a week or so, a fabulously powerful brush that leaves a fantastic smile behind!

  • Very effective cleaning.

    I have used an electronic toothbrush before but not for a few years. They have improved so much and leave your teeth very clean and smooth. They work in between and i would highly recommend this Colgate ProClinical C250 Electric Toothbrush. It looks nice and neat on my bathroom cabinet and even has a handy cover for when you go away. Highly recommended, next is to teach my youngest son about an electronic toothbrush to help get his teeth clean twice a day.

  • Trip to dentist

    Yesterday we went to the dentist for a checkup and she was impressed by how clean ny daugters teeth were. Some medication she is on causes an increase in build up and discolouration to her teeth but since she’s been using the Colgate ProClinical there has been a huge visible improvement. I can’t recommend this toothbrush enough.

    This toothbrush is the best I have ever used. The timer is very handy and my teeth feel exceptionally clean afterwards. I can also easily brush while taking care of my 1yr old.

  • looks sleek and trendy

    whilst the design is slim and sleek, I felt the untrasonic vibrations too much for me and ended up using it like a normal tooth brush with out it switched on. the noise in my mouth was a bit too loud. maybe I am too sensitive to it. The charge was quick so was ready to use without too much of a wait.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

Sandhurst

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

How To Put Together A Charcuterie Board

There are no right or wrong ways to create a charcuterie board, but to ensure a balance of textures and flavours try to include:

La Dolce Vita!

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • We often have homemade pizza nights aka fakeaway night! And my pizza is always on a low carb Pizza base with roasted and sundried tomato and capsicum. My fav combo with grilled chicken and a swirl of peri peri mayonnaise! Making our own is always better than takeaway versions and healthier!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • This is timely and helpful, thanks – I aspire to entertain more and tips to make it less stressful are very welcome.

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • The simplest way to entertain.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
