This week we ask real mums to sample and review Full Marks – a revolutionary head lice treatment that contains no traditional pesticides.

Full Marks is gentle on your children’s scalp while still being clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicate eggs.

Unlike other head lice treatments that try to poison the louse with pesticides, Full Marks works by physical action causing irreversible dehydration and shrinkage of the louse.

Why Use Full Marks Head Lice Treatments?

✓ Contains no harsh traditional pesticides

✓ Clinically proven to kill head lice and eradicates eggs

✓ Quickly and easily treat head lice in under 10 minutes

✓ Odourless

✓ Suitable for sensitive skin

✓ Suitable for children over 2 years old

How to Use Full Marks:

  1. Apply to dry hair and leave for 10 minutes.
  2. Comb through hair with comb provided to remove the remains of lice and eggs.
  3. Finally wash out using non-conditioning shampoo. It’s that easy.
  4. Remember to retreat 7 days later*

*With many non-traditional insecticides – including Full Marks Solution – a second treatment, seven days after the first is required. This is to kill any newly-hatched lice which may have been missed in the initial treatment.

Where to buy Full Marks:

Available at your local pharmacy. Please call 1800 999 155 for your nearest store. RRP: $19.95

Always read the label. Use only as directed.

  • The easiest and most effective by far! 5 star's

    I spent over $100 on different head lice treatments that didn’t work trying to get rid of the head lice my son picked up at school. Full Marks is the only one I found that works. Its quick and easy you can see that it works straight away. It also leaves his hair soft and clean afterwards not like a lot of other products I’ve used I recommend it everyone.

    I have tried other products before and they have a terrible smell, the kids have complained about a burning feeling while they have to wait, the waiting time is so long for the children to sit and they get fidgety, with this product though the kids didn’t complain about the smell or the burning feeling and it was quick.

    I used full marks on my daughters hair.
    And it worked well it only needed one application and the nits were gone.
    I purchased full marks from my local chemist and only cost me $20.00. Great product easy to use would reccomend. Also works for children who may have sensitive skin :)

  • LOVE LOVE LOVE this product

    I changed to this product when my step son kept coming to our house with headlice from school and we werent getting great results from other products. This product blew me away with its ease of use (pump action spray bottle) and how well it worked and that you only had to leave it on for 10 minutes! It also doesnt have a strong smell like alot of the other brands i had tried so was by far a winning product for our family.

    Not one I raced out to try as no one had head lice but finally someone in the family did and we tried it. Much much nicer then the old stuff that burned your head we used to use! Barely any smell and has a fantastic concept of how it works, like the idea of rather then multiple poisons on my kids heads!

  • Will use again if required!

    I’ve used Full Marks Head Lice Treatment in the treatment of eradicating nits and lice before and would use again I’d required. There is no nasty odour and is quite easy to use. The only down fall to Full Marks Head Lice Treatment is that is does leave hair greasy requiring a least a couple of washes.

  • No overpowering smell

    Full Marks head lice solution is easy to use, especially for children. It doesn’t how a nasty over powering smell, which I love. The price is more than reasonable however, the only drawback for me was that hair is left feeling greasy and does require washing a couple of times. Recommend buying the larger pack to treat the whole family.

    I love that you can grab Full Marks Spray Solution from the supermarket. It was easy to use, spraying and combing through the hair. The only drawback was that I found it difficult to rinse out from the hair. The smell wasn’t overpowering compared to other products and after completing the second treatment all the creepy crawled were eradicated.

    loved this stuff it was pretty easy to use and wiped out all head-lice in one go the only drawback was how oily it was, even after washing it out. It took about 3 days for hair to stop being oily but would still use it again the price is good and the effectiveness and smell is great.

    Used this in the past and found that by the time I’d sprayed and dealt with the hair the solution was all over my hands making the pump hard to use, ended up wasting a towel trying to keep my hands clean and wiping the bottle, and it wasn’t any more effective than other treatments

  • just recently used

    my hubby grabbed this at the chemist. We also bought a comb. we used it and it did the job. i am happy with the lice free result. Because the smell was not overpowering (which was good), i did wonder if it would actually do the job. We would prefer not to use chemicals on our children but conditioner and combing will only get you so far and other “natural” products were not that effective and costlier. this is a product i would try again and it wasn’t one that i had seen before my hubby purchased it

  • WORKED WELL AND GOT RID OF HEAD LICE

    I saw this product, and my granddaughter came home with head lice from school, so she was treated straight away. This product worked really well. She has hair down to her bottom so it can be difficult to comb out at times, but the Full Marks Spray worked well. It was really easy to comb her hair. The price was reasonable also. Treatments can be so expensive, especially if you have a large family, you really need to treat the whole family at the same time. Thanks for the hint to use Full marks. xx dee

    I applied for this review over 2 years ago; I still have the original bottle (it has lasted this long) and used it on on numerous heads within the family (I have seven children). After using it once, we are lice free (per child) for 12+ or more months. LOVE it and wouldn’t try anything else!

    Had to lice dip my girls twice now :( I knew enrolling them in kindy would have its normal hiccups but i didn’t expect having to treat them for headlice…not that they had any but to make sure i could prevent it. I tried a different brand the first time and my girls said it felt hot on their heads and smelt disgusting…but this time i tried Full Marks range and it was great! No horrible smell, easy to use, didn’t phase my kids and no more head lice scares.

    I have tried so many head lice treatments out there and there are not many that work very well.
    I have probably come across 3 that work well and Full Marks is one of them.
    It’s easy to use, doesn’t require to be left on the hair for long and doesn’t smell which makes for less children whinging at a job we all hate.

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.

Sandhurst

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 

Sandhurst article image

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!

  • 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.

    Reply

  • 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!

  • 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.
