Hay fever sufferers have been having a really rough time lately.
June is never a pleasant month for those with pollen-induced allergy, but this year seems to really be knocking it out of people.
It’s probably no surprise then that there’s been plenty of talk social media once again about the hayfever wipes that went viral last year after one mum claimed they gave her son “his life back” and could be lifesaving for other sufferers.
She discovered a pack of Nuage Hayfever Relief Wipes – and they did just the trick.
Posting on Facebook and to the Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group, Margaret McInnes said at the time: “Just a tip for anyone who suffers badly from hay fever. My son has tried everything going, but these wipes gave him his life back.

“[He has] tried absolutely everything over the years. Eye drops / nose sprays – lots of different pills. Nothing worked. Showering 4/5/6 times a day to get pollen off him.
“I can’t hang his clothes or bedding on the washing line.

“These wipes which we discovered last year help loads. Anyone you know who suffers from this – get some packs of these wipes”.

After sharing the tip of these tried and tested wipes, Margaret’s post amassed well over 10,000 interactions and comments from other members of the public, not only thanking her for the recommended advice, but also claiming that they rapidly relieved their hayfever symptoms too.
One group member commented: “I got some yesterday. They are good and have very good reviews”.

Another wrote: “I got my son some they are helping. His hay fever is showing no signs of improving with age but they help for an instant fix”.
Suitable for use on both hands and face, the Nuage Hayfever Relief Wipes are infused with peppermint and tea tree oil to not only relieve symptoms, but also to soothe skin and prevent pollen from irritating it further.

The best bit about them, other than the “life-saving” part of course?
You won’t have to spend that much time looking to get your hands on them as they’ve been spotted for sale in The Range, B&M, Poundstretcher, Poundland and Savers.
Oh, and they’re only 99p too.

It looks like the days of carrying around an endless amount of tissues is finally over then.

Hello Oriental owners and childhood best friends, Ricky Yip and Azim Kourah, say they have selected some of the most popular dishes from the Manchester city centre site’s extensive menu for the new Trafford Centre restaurant.
This means diners at the Trafford Centre can enjoy traditional dishes from across East Asia – including a wide range of Dim Sum, hearty main dishes like Taiwanese pork belly with rice, traditional favourites like beef Ho fun, and loads of different Cantonese roast meats.
There’ll also be a wide selection of street food available, like Korean fried chicken, loaded katsu chicken fries, and three varieties of sticky chicken wings.
There’s also plenty for the little Mancs to tuck into too, as there’ll be a full kid’s menu available at the new Trafford Centre site, with options for both those with “adventurous” junior palates, to those who prefer “more familiar” tastes.
“We’re so excited to open in the Trafford Centre and give shoppers the chance to try our dishes from across East Asia,” commented co-owner, Ricky Yip, ahead of the new opening.
“Many of the dishes on the menu were enjoyed by Azim and I growing up, cooked by my family, or served in family restaurants, and it’s wonderful to see other families come to Hello Oriental to enjoy these flavours.”
Hello Oriental will be opening at the Trafford Centre this Saturday (1 February), with thousands of prizes to give away to celebrate Lunar New Year.
