Hairy Lemon Review & Giveaway


Being a parent can be tough, but it's the most rewarding thing I think there can ever be.

You do give up a few things though.  One of them is sleep.  Long gone are the weekend naps where I can sleep in on a Sunday or even take a kip on the couch on a lazy, wet afternoon.

I do look forward to arvo naps when my boy is older and doesn't want to bounce off the walls anymore!


It was kind of good timing (because I have been over worked lately) when I was contacted by the folks at Hairy Lemon with an offer to help to optimise energy levels, and aid in the recovery process.



Recovery process? There's no time in the day for a Dad to recover!  As much as my wife would say I do nothing, spare time is rare when you have to work hard to pay for baby clothes, baby food and wife's shoe addiction *sigh*

Optimising energy levels though.  That sounds good!  A bit of extra zing in the morning will surely help zombie Tork turn into non-zombie Tork.

I decided to give the Hairy Lemon product review a crack. Sounded right up my alley.  Often I find myself doing computer things past midnight & up at 5.30am.  Stupid I know.  At least I don't do it every night. But I often need my beloved coffee.

I decided to replace my morning coffee with this drink.  It's one of those tablets that you drop in a glass of water and it dissolves infront of your eyes.  I love that sort of thing. So cool haha!

I was a bit concerned about the Guarana in it. I know that some energy drinks get the old heart racing with me a bit too much, but this Hairy Lemon drink wasn't doing that.  After finishing off the drink, I did feel all right.  It didn't take me too long to get the coffee withdrawals though, but that's just a terrible (delightful) addiction I'm not yet ready to kick.

I did try the Hairy Lemon concoction another night though.  It was getting late.  I was watching a DVD and falling asleep as I was watching it. I thought, let's see if this will help me push to the end of the movie!

Worked a treat and about an hour and a half later I had finished the DVD and snoring my face off.

So overall, it gave me a cool little refresher for a couple of hours.  It also scared the shit out of me though.  Fluro yellow piss!  hahaha!  So just make sure you keep yourself hydrated during the day folks because it can go right through ya!

So, it's packed full of good stuff, such as B-Group vitamins, Vitamin C plus the Guarana as well as Ginseng to help you recover from the big days & nights.  Will have to test it out the night after a few wines!

But here is the good news for you readers out there.  As part of the review, Hairy Lemon have decided to offer some fantastic Hairy Lemon Energy Packs to give away!  I have two of these packs to give away.


The packs include the Hairy Lemon Effervescent tablets along with some other recovery essentials (sunnies, headphones, lip balm, & carry bag). The Packs are valued at $50.

Enter below to win yourself one of the packs.  Alternatively, you can purchase the tablets from Coles, Woolworths and selected pharmacies nationally (in Australia only). Find out more from the Hairy Lemon website.

Good luck to all that enter!

I like the fact they may help my head after one too many wines!!!
I need Hairy Lemon post running to pep up my energy and those sunnies rock.
YAY greap prize!
Interesting take! It makes total sense, though. Just like running with a leaner body streamlines your speed and agility.
How exciting to interview a celeb like Mahalia. Great work by you and Andrew, keep that downward trend going. I like the saying "don't let another week go by without losing weight". Keep it up.
I had weight loss surgery a little over a year ago with Dr. Juarez and it was the best decision I ever made! He was very kind and informative and his staff is outstanding with all the paper work it takes and all the appointments that need to be made they were on top of it. I was very scared and wasnt sure that this surgery would work for me but I've lost a total of 152 pounds in this last year and I feel great! I would definetly refer Dr. Juarez as a doctor I owe him my new and improved life.

Weight loss and Diabetes are *relatively* easy to cope with. You know you can drop some weight, with sensible diet and exercise - Motivation is the key factor as you say, but medical need should be slightly easier to push yourself into getting yourself back on track. You CAN still eat all your favourite foods, just in moderation, and this can lead to much more satisfaction when it's a reward for something.
