That's Noice!

Our whole family is in love with these delish soy melts tarts from Veeanca.

I’m a bit of a smell junkie, I have a very heightened sense of smell.  My candle habit was getting a little expensive. With so many dogs and cats running, about regular candle oil burners were just too impractical. So I can across some lovely electric oil burners on eBay and went in search of some yummy scents to fill it with.

Came across Veeanca‘s store on etsy and she has a fabulous range, and they smell A-MAZ-ING. I have ordered 3-4 times now, trying out all the flavours. Our favs have been the Coffee, Musk Stick, Vanilla Chessecake and Orange and Vanilla.

What’s even better is that she is Sydney based, so I can often get my things the next day if I order early enough. Awesome service!

Check out Veeanca on etsy. Soy melts are only $2 a tub.

French Bulldog obsessed, I recently bought myself this super cute charm from Crave Jewellery.

They also have a great range of other charms and jewellery.

Available from Crave Jewellery on etsy from $22AUD

Personalised hand stamped necklaces, rings, bracelet and bangles. They would make a great gift idea For Mother’s Day ;) (you had better get in quick to order to insure delivery in time).

I have been looking around for a necklace myself for months, there are so many..it is hard to decide.

Having 2 insideish dogs, we have been through our fair share of dog beds.

Most have been eaten, or peed on and ruined. I came across Molly Mutt beds about 12mths ago, and they are the perfect pet bed!

The best part of these beds is in the stuffing. Regular pet beds can be near impossible to wash. But the molly mutt bed is just stuffed with your old clothes and blankets, washing the insides is just as easy as washing the cover.

I wash mine at least once a week, and it still looks great. I have just bought a second cover, so we can rotate them so the robots last a bit longer ;) To make it even easier to keep clean, they have recently released a water proof cover to go under the regular cover. Perfect if you have a peer like me.

Molly Mutt beds come in a range of funky fabrics as well as different shapes and sizes. So there is a perfect bed for all the furry family.

Adioso is an Australian based company helping you find the cheapest flights.

We all know of Flight Centre and Webjet, which are good if you have very specific travel periods you are looking for. If you can be a little more flexible with travel times and are planning your holidays well in advance, I would definitely suggest giving Adioso a spin.

In a very easy to use google like interface, you put in your destination and a travel period, such as mid March. It will then search all the major carriers and give you the prices for all the dates in your travel period and show you the cheapest options. Another great tool is the ability to subscribe to certain dates and time periods and be notified when the price drops.

Some flights I was watching dropped $20 below the “cheapest” price I was originally quoted in just over a week. So it definitely pays to plan ahead and be flexible.

Give it a try when you are next on the look out for cheap flights, Adioso

Yes, I am quite well aware that it is in fact November but  this was just too cute and LOL not to share.

Dogtober is a yearly fundraising campaign for Assistance Dogs Australia.

These are a series of very clever TV ads combining super cute Golden Retriever puppies and narration by funny man John Cleese.

I don’t recall seeing these TV ads? And they only seem to have been added to their youtube channel last week.

Paws up! Who else loves these super cute stoneware paw salt and pepper shakers from Ladies and Gentlemen Studio.

I love these melamine dinner sets from Love Mae.

They come in a kitty, dinosaur and bird design. You can buy the pieces separately, or as a set. Suppose they would be a great gift, but I would just buy it for myself ;)

They also have a great range of wall decals. Decals are a tad over done, but their decals are a bit different to your regular vinyl decals. The stickers are actually made of adhesive fabric.

I especially love this cat proof christmas tree decal.

Checkout their blog too, some great stuff there.

I LOVE trying new things. So when I spotted the Streets Blue Ribbon 3in1 Fruit Basket Ice cream a few weeks ago..had to grab some, for research of course ;)

The Fruit Basket is vanilla, mango and passionfruit gelato. It is the only one I have tried, but it is super nom! The gelato is the best flavour, I wish it came in a tub by itself! It has fruit in it, so it must be healthy, right?

When I went to buy more (further research was required), I noticed it had some new flavour mates.

The other flavours are…

Chocolate 3in1 is milk, white and dark chocolate with dark chocolate flakes throughout.

And the caramel is vanilla, caramel and honeycomb with toffee crunchy bits.

I am sure I saw a coffee version as well, but there is no info online about these new flavours, so I may have imagined it.

Have you tried any yet?

UPDATE MAY 2012: Rekorderlig are currently rolling out a new flavour, Mango Raspberry! We cannot wait to try it!

If you are on twitter, you may have already been sucked into the Rekorderlig cult, the curiosity and peer pressure has gotten the better of many. Tried it once to see what all the fuss is about, and instantly fallen in love, me included.

So what is this magical drink?

Rekorderlig is a pear Cider, imported from Sweden. Made from Pure Swedish spring water. It is then infused with a range of delicious crisp, sweet flavours.

Rekorderlig cider comes in 4 flavours. Apple, Pear, Strawberry-Lime and Wild Berries. There is also a Winter cider which is apple, vanilla and cinnamon. In Europe, they have an apple and blackcurrant flavour, I wonder if we will get that one here?

My favourite is the Strawberry-Lime. Best served super chilled, they’re an awesome drink through winter. I bet they will be even more perfect at the end of a hot summer day.

Available at all good liquor stores.

Have you tried Rekorderlig? What is your favourite flavour?

When I first saw these, I thought they were a Not Noice post waiting to happen. But the more I look at them, I think I like!

The Barbie Jewellery is the work of US Artist Margaux Lange.

She has been making jewellery in this series for about 10 years. It is made of hand-fabricated sterling silver, plastics and hand-pigmented resins.

Seems all body parts get a look in, Face, lips, eyes, hands, boobs..even butts and Ken’s abs. I wonder if she has much luck with romance? Surely taking people back to her place, stuffed with Barbie body parts could be a little off putting?

Certainly would be a great conversational piece.

 Check out her site Margaux Lange and Etsy Store

I am a little picky when it comes to handbags. I am not at all fashionable. I just want one that looks nice, fits all my stuffs in it and is the right shape. It can take months of searching to find the right one.

I was lucky enough to stumble on an awesome seller on Etsy recently after hours of searching. Her bags are fabulous.

Christy Studio designs and makes handmade canvas handbags in her home studio in Malaysia.
She has a selection of styles and sizes that come in a great range of colours.

I bought the Daniel Bag in teal. The pictures honestly don’t do them justice. The bag is just perfect for my needs. Comfy strap that is a great length. It is big enough to carry my laptop AND tablet if I so desired, as well as my camera and all the other usual bits and pieces.

The service was amazing. I purchased the bag at lunch time Friday, and I had the bag on my desk Monday morning. And for only $60 delivered..bargain!

As much as I begged, they said I couldn’t keep it all…suppose I have to share some with you *sad face*.

3 noice peeps will win themselves a pint of each new flavour of mind blowingly awesome Ben & Jerry’s ice cream..read on!

Ben & Jerry’s is a huge fav at That’s Noice…this week we we’re lucky enough to try out 2 new flavours. Some may say winter isn’t the time for ice cream, but any time is a good time for noms I say!

The 2 new flavours….

New York Super Fudge Chunk – Over 25 years ago, Ben & Jerry decided they wanted to bring their ice cream to the streets of the city that never sleeps. To impress discerning New Yorkers, Ben & Jerry set out to create a flavour filled with more chunks than any other flavour before. Introducing New York Super Fudge Chunk,  a medley of  Chocolate Ice Cream with White & Dark Chocolatey Chunks, Pecans, Walnuts & Chocolatey Covered Almonds.

Sweet Cream & Cookies – Cookie lovers, rejoice! Ben & Jerry’s now has the ultimate flavour for you!  Sweet cream ice cream with whole and broken chocolate sandwich cookies. How sweet is that?

Although I am a little nutty,I am not a big fan of nuts, so the New York Super Fudge Chunk wasn’t quite my thing. Manpet however, polished it off in one sitting. I think he enjoyed it ;) The cookies & cream was awesome, just like a big tub of ice cream sammich.

These two new dairylicious flavours will be available in 458ml pint tubs (RRP $11.95) in select delis, around Sydney, Melbourne and  Brisbane from July. They’ll join the  great flavours already available: Chocolate Chip Cookie Dough, Chocolate Fudge Brownie, Chunky Monkey, Strawberry Cheesecake, Triple Caramel Chunk, Phish Food (my all time fav!) and Half Baked. Check the website for locations.

So…who wants to get their hands on these fab new flavours? All you have to do is like That’s Noice on Facebook and then leave a comment on the post below letting us know your fav Ben & Jerry’s flavour. Easy!
