App - FarmVille 2: Country Escape



Plant, harvest, create, sell and buy is the aim of this game.  I have been playing this game for nearly six months now and it never gets boring! Very interactive as it connects with Facebook so you can add friends as neighbours and buy and sell produce from each other.

Every month or so there has been an Event, which lasts for 20 or so days, where you need to find special items to create recipes and sell for big rewards.

So I have done a few screen shots below to walk you through the game play.


You can plant and harvest a variety of vegetables and fruits, feed animals and collect their produce to sell or use within recipes.

Which are stored in your Barn


Which allows you to upgrade your storage once you have received a number of nails, padlocks, spades and tin


A newer feature allows you to have additional storage in the form of a Crop Silo


Which can also be upgraded in the same way as your barn





Sell and earn coins and experience points at the Farm Orders board


Complete orders for Eagle Eye Eddie to win stamps and experience points


Sell items to Sophia's Tasting Table to earn coins and experience points


Sell non-food items to Nick the Salesman to earn coins and experience


Sell goods to earn coins and free up some barn space


Buy goods that you don't have time to make in order to complete orders

Or join a co-op..............


.........and buy from your friends..............


...........or request a helping hand or if they have any goods to sell to you


Once you have mastered the basics and levelled up you will then open new areas of land which gives you access to.......






 where you send in your farm hands with supplies to source rewards

Once you have earned the allocated amount of stamps from Eddie Eagle you can use them to purchase prized animals








Where you can also send your farm hands with supplies to gain rewards 

Each prized animal needs their own animal feed which can be made using the Wind Mill and after an allotted length of time, ranging from 30 mins to 2 hours you will receive a number of different rewards including ribbons which can be traded for coins, padlocks, nails etc in the Prize Tent


As well as coins earning keys ( or getting them from the prize tent when you trade in you ribbons) is crucial to expanding your farm, they can help with speeding up the machine time so that goods can finish instantly or so that you can make multiple items at once.


You can also earn keys by completing special tasks in the Farmers Almanac 


I hope this has given you an insight into one of my favourite apps!

Naked - Green Machine

So after debating I decided to go back to Waitrose and pick up the Naked juice, which is what I originally intended to buy.


As it states that it has apple, pineapple and kiwi juice I actually thought it would have a nice sweet flavour to it, but I wondered how this would be "antioxidant".


Then I read the ingredients and realised it also included botanical extracts of spirulina, chlorella, broccoli, spinach, barley grass, wheat grass, parsley, ginger root, blue green algae and odourless garlic, all of which are POWDERED!


It actually says ".... don't judge a smoothie by its colour. It actually tastes good."

I disagree.


I don't know whether it was the powdered ingredients that I disliked the taste of but I really did not like this juice. I tried, I kept sipping, very small sips, but the consistency, smell and overall taste (which was sweet) did not impress me at all.

I had to throw it away, £2.39 in the bin!

Have you tried this juice? Do you agree or disagree? I really want to know if it was just me!

Innocent Super Smoothie - Antioxidant

Whilst browsing the juice aisle in my local Waitrose I spyed the new a Innocent range that I had recently seen on Facebook and Twitter.


I settled on the Antioxidant one as I want to find a "grab-n-go" green juice to help me get as much nutrients as possible.


I did like the taste of this and would honestly purchase it again as well as try out the rest of the range.


I must say Innocent do know what they are doing when it comes to smoothies and I have always been a big fan. So I am happy they now have this Super Smoothie line to add to their range.


This was on offer at an introductory price of £2.00

Savse - Super Green

I had been on the look out for a grab n go green juice as I knew that making it at home would not be a long lasting feature for me.  But I knew I needed a quick and easy way to get some nutrients into my body what with my current health situation (read previous blog post about reintroducing gluten).


So imagine my surprise when I saw this in my local Waitrose! I actually had my hand on the Naked green juice and was also looking at the new Innocent range when I saw Savse out of the corner of my eye.


The spinach and kale jumped out at me, that's exactly what I need to help increase my iron levels. It wasn't until I actually read the label in detail after I purchased it that I noticed it had broccoli in it! Oh well it's still worth a try!

On first sip I noticed that it wasn't sweet, hence the "No added sugar" but I thought the pear would have sweetened it naturally.

The after taste is where the broccoli is most prominent, but not overpowering. So I took another sip and was surprisingly impressed, so much so that I did some research and found the rest of the range on the website aswell as their twitter and Facebook accounts!

I can't wait to try the rest of the range but I think this one will benefit me, health wise, the most at the moment.
