  • Still loving it

    I have been using the Palmolive Naturals Active Nourishment Shampoo and Conditioner for over a month now and I am honestly still telling everyone about it. My hair just looks and feels so much healthier. My husband is always commenting on how good it looks. It has given me such confidence because I have very thin hair which includes some very obvious thin spots, but this shampoo and conditioner gives my hair more volume which makes my thin spots a lot less obvious. I love it and definitely recommend it!

  • Still loving it!

    Second review: I’ve been using the Palmolive shampoo and conditioner set for a few weeks now, and I’m still very pleased. Unlike many hair products for ‘normal’ hair, this set has managed to continue to keep the Oil Slick of Doom at bay. That’s no easy feat. My scalp seems to think that it’s a McDonald’s chips oil cooker. On top of that, my ends are very dry, and they also appear to be thriving.

    In the photo I took a few minutes ago, while hiding from the kids, you see me after my hair was washed 24 hours ago. Given the ridiculous amount of sweating I’ve done today (also pictured urgh), the oil deluge has been contained relatively well.

    I will definitely keep using these products. Great value for money! Nothing lasts forever, but these huge bottles are going to give it a good go.

  • Love it!

    After using this product for 2 weeks my hair is the healthiest it’s been in a long time. I used to have a constant itchy head and bad dandruff leaving my hair really oily…after using this shampoo and conditioner my hair has a natural shine to it, is silky and easy to manage and looks and feels great!

  • Awesome product

    So after years of using a different brand of Shamppo and Conditioner I tried this for the review and I will not go back to the old product I used to use. I will definitely be buying it again after it left my hair all silky and smooth and looking like I paid someone to style my hair. Thanks so much for letting me trial this as it’s beautiful for my hair.

  • Great product!

    I will definitely be purchasing these again. Left my hair feeling healthy with a great shine. It has a really nice smell, not too fruity which I was worried about. I have combination hair so I wasn’t sure how my hair would go but I was pleasantly surprised. I recommend these products.

  • Budget but quality

    To begin with, the smell is magnificent. Fresh and crisp, just what you need to feel like you have clean hair. The shampoo creates a beautiful lateher. I’m a twice shampooer and you can really feel your scalp and hair to be very clean. The conditioner leaves your hair feeling silky smooth and fresh.

  • Strong, shiny hair

    I really liked the palmolive shampoo and conditioner. I only had to put a little bit shampoo and it was already really foamy and conditioner made my hair so nice and shiny. I would recommend both products to other mums. The bottles are big and last for a long time. Thank you for letting me to try them.

  • Great option for achieving a manageable hair

    Price is just right and usually goes on sale too. Palmolive does not stripped out your hair’s nutrients, it stays in their and help you achieve a manageable soft hair even during this unforgivable summer heat.

  • Great product and fairly priced!

    I have quite thick, asian hair and I am mindful of the products I use. Palmolive did the job quite well with my hair making it clean and shiny! It smelled great. I received plenty of compliments on how nice my hair smelled. The price is excellent as well so I’m a frequent Palmolive user for this reason.

  • Refreshing shampoo and conditioner

    I have fine medium length dark hair and regularly suffer from an itchy scalp at the base of my head, usually managed with Head and Shoulders. I normally wash my hair every two to three days. After using this for a week, I can get a good and refreshing clean with one pump of the shampoo and two pumps of the conditioner. My scalp tends to start getting very itchy if I leave it for three days.

  • Really liked it

    I really liked my kids using the shampoo and conditioner. They were excited too. They loved the smell of it. The feel of their hair after using it was nice and soft. I was sceptical at first for my daughters hair as it is long, thick and curly. It felt soft after she used it. I was happy. Yes I would buy it again for my kids. I’m sure they will be happy to use it again too.

  • Pleasantly surprised

    Palmolive is a well known, long time brand here in Oz, I know that, but I’ve never really been a fan. The scents didn’t impress me nor did the results from using Palmolive. I have been surprised by these products though. They clean superbly and leave my hair soft and silky. I’m sure it’s improving my hair health with each use. And if course, the price of Palmolive is always family friendly. I’m a convert

  • Not the right product for my hair.

    I have pretty normal hair, but I found I had to use a lot more conditioner than I usually would in order for it to feel effective. I’d actually say even triple the amount. The shampoo was nice and worked well, but I won’t be buying either product again.

  • Great for my fine hair.

    I loved this on my hair. It thoroughly cleaned it, and didn’t leave it oily like some other brands. It gave it body and leaved it feeling clean and smelling great. I love that it comes in large bottles. It’s a great price and I would use it again and again.

  • Shampoo & Conditioner

    I found both products smelled great but most likely my hair type but i found my hair to have this strange feel to it not a silly smooth feel, it was greasy even after I washed, dried it even after using the product several times the results were the same.

    Wow our hair had bounce was smooth, felt great and had a lovely smell. I normally struggle to get my son to wash his hair but he was only to happy to continue washing his hair with out me asking.

  • Palmolive washed hair well

    Firstly I loved the 700ml Palmolive pump bottles as with 5 people in the house we go through a lot of hair washing products. So the bigger size is great. We also enjoy the outdoors which results in the need to wash our hair everyday. I found that the Palmolive Natuals Active Nourishment shampoo provided a great clean. However, the Conditioner didn’t detangle as well as others or leave the shine that it promised. But I would be open to giving another option in the Palmolive hair care range a whirl.

  • Palmolive Natural works a treat

    My hair has been strong, shiny and less oily since using this shampoo and conditioner. It works great and is easy to brush and style afterwards the whole family has been using this for the last few weeks and we are all happy with it and will purchase again and again.

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

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’ve really needed some inspiration this year for Christmas and this is great! I Love a good charcuterie board and I think I may do one this year for the family as well as all the regular Christmas trimmings. I have 6 kids and all the extended family coming to entertain and feed!

  • 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.

    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.
