How reviewing toilet rolls on TikTok has changed Norfolk mum's life
A mother from the Norfolk Broads has gone from fears of redundancy to earning thousands of pounds by reviewing toilet roll bundles on TikTok.
Charlotte Blockley first started using TikTok Shop as a side hustle in June 2022 in the hopes of earning extra money to take her daughter on a ''dream holiday to Disney World''.
TikTok Shop is a platform on the viral trending video app where creators can promote other companies' products to generate sales and commission.
Mrs Blockley has made tens of thousands of pounds from reviewing a variety of products with her main sales coming from technology, food and drink.
The 37-year-old began to take TikTok Shop more seriously when her review of a shower head in June 2022 ''kicked off her sales massively''.
After talks of redundancy at her law property job, the mum from Stalham quit her job in January 2023 to make TikTok Shop her full-time job.
Although having no previous sales experience, the content creator was the first TikToker to receive a gold award for achieving one million sales from TikTok Shop in a 30-day period in November last year.
'My biggest earning videos were air fryers, Android tablets and toilet roll bundle deals,' she said.

'I still can't believe it because I am just a regular person.'
Mrs Blockley has nearly 180,000 followers on the social media platform and her videos have received more than five million likes.
Her three most recent videos, which are all filmed from her home, show reviews for swimwear, lip balm and a make up bag.
''I'm not a celebrity or a big influencer and then for it to be me that's done this is such a massive achievement,' she added.

Woman's Starbucks Bill Surprise Has Over A Million People Watching In Disbelief
Everything from essentials to food is expensive right now. It has gotten so bad that people are calling it a crisis, and many have stopped buying everyday items altogether. People aren't getting haircuts, they've stopped going out to eat, buying living this too, you get it. So, it's no surprise over a million people have related to this viral video of popular TikToker Avery Katherine Wood when the price of her recent Starbucks order left her speechless. In the video, Avery records herself in the drive-thru. She orders a grilled cheese and a venti Strawberry Acai Refresher blended with lemonade. She also adds popping boba. And when the drive-thru worker tells her the total is $15.43, she is so speechless, she reacts with a mixture of facial expressions: And finally musters up all she can think: "OH MY GOSH..." "FIFTEEN DOLLARS??????" she says, repeating the amount back to herself. Trying to make sense of it, she adds, "Popping boba had to be like, added $2.50." Still in shock, she repeats, "WHAT? OH MY GOSH!!!" She then recalls the cost of her recent order from Chicken Salad Chick where she said she spent $13 on a drink, a cookie, broccoli salad, and "a big ass sandwich." "And I just dropped $15 on a grilled cheese and a Starbucks THE FUDGE," she concludes in her video, which has a lot of people talking about more than just her hilarious facial reactions. People immediately started trying to break down the price for her... Which still seemed to leave her in disbelief. But, sadly, many have already gotten accustomed to these high prices, so the shock factor is no longer there. In fact, things are so expensive in some places, the price of her order is actually considered reasonable in comparison. Either way, the prices are obviously tough to fork over. Despite people still trying to find alternative ways to save money at Starbucks, like using the mobile app, they say they always have to double-check the price ahead of time. To sum it up, it's just another example of how people are struggling to afford the same things in 2025 that they did in 2022. As someone who doesn't frequent Starbucks (shoutout to my 7-year-old Keurig that is still going strong!), I wondered what the price would be near where I live in Burbank, California. So, I downloaded the app and pretended to order as a pickup since I know delivery charges fees. I wasn't able to order the exact Strawberry Acai Refresher because they didn't have the popping boba, but I did select blended with raspberry pearls. The grilled cheese was sold out. The total for just the drink came to $7.50 before tax/tip, so I am assuming if I were to add a grilled cheese, it would easily be $15, likely higher. What state do you live in, and what was the recent price of something that shocked you so much it stopped you in your tracks?

Lululemon's viral tote just dropped in a new colour — here's why shoppers are obsessed
If there's one thing fashion lovers, gym-goers and jet-setters can all agree on, it's that a good tote bag is hard to find. You want something that looks luxe but doesn't scream 'trendy for five minutes,' something big enough to hold your laptop, water bottle and snacks (yes, snacks are non-negotiable!), but not so oversized it looks like you're moving out. Oh, and bonus points if it doesn't cost as much as a month's rent. Enter Lululemon's Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L, the latest viral accessory that's quietly becoming the bag of the summer. TikTok can't stop talking about it. Reddit's raving. And shoppers everywhere are double-taking because, well, this sleek tote could 100 per cent be mistaken for something straight off the runway. However, here's the plot twist: it's under $200, made with durable fabric and designed to handle real life. Shop in three colours: Tidewater Teal/Lavender Frost/Chrome (pictured here), French Press/Sand Trap/Antique White and Grey Eucalyptus/Jade Grey/Peroxide. Looks aside, this bag seriously delivers when it comes to function. With an 18L capacity, it can easily fit your laptop, gym clothes, snacks, beauty pouch and probably even a small dog (not recommended, but theoretically possible). It also features multiple interior and exterior pockets to keep your essentials organized — no more digging around blindly for your lip balm or earbuds. And let's talk materials: the water-repellent knit fabric means a little rain or a spilled latte isn't going to ruin your day (or your tote). It's strong, structured and wipes clean easily, which is exactly what you want in a daily carryall. While there are no reviews on Lululemon for this tote quite yet (it's brand new), the bag is certainly having its moment on TikTok. One shopper said, "the strap quality is sturdy," and another raved that it's 'literally so cute!' The smaller version of the bestselling tote is also roomy enough for everyday essentials. At $168, the Classic Knit Tote Bag 18L is definitely an investment, but compared to similar styles from luxury brands, it's a steal. It brings a high-end look to any outfit without the high-maintenance feel. If you're into bags that look expensive, work hard and effortlessly elevate every outfit, this one's worth the hype. Shop it while you can because something tells us this one won't stay in stock for long.

Zedge Announces Third Quarter Fiscal 2025 Results
Active subscribers1 increased 37% to a record of nearly 900,000; subscription revenue increased 13% Cash flow from operations of $0.9 million; Free cash flow2 of $0.8 million after ~$1.0 million of payments mainly related to the global restructuring and the tail end of the GuruShots retention bonus Revenue returned to growth despite the TikTok ban in the U.S. at the start of the quarter Launched a new content marketplace initiative for AI training sets, creating B2B revenue opportunities NEW YORK, NY / / June 12, 2025 / Zedge, Inc. (NYSE American:ZDGE), $ZDGE, a leader in digital marketplaces and interactive games that provide content, enable creativity, empower self-expression and facilitate community, today announced results for its third quarter fiscal 2025, ended April 30, 2025. Jonathan Reich, Zedge's CEO, commented: "Our core business demonstrated strong momentum, driving a return to revenue growth in Q3 and highlighting its resilience despite the impact on the ad market resulting from TikTok's temporary U.S. ban and tariff-related uncertainty that caused macroeconomic volatility. "We generated $0.8 million in free cash flow, despite approximately $1.0 million of certain payments - primarily severance related to our restructuring and the first portion of the final installment of the retention bonus stemming from the 2022 GuruShots acquisition. On a sequential basis our cash and cash equivalents balance at the end of the quarter increased to $20.4 million, even after repurchasing approximately 220,000 shares in Q3 for roughly $536,000. "On the bottom line, we saw meaningful year-over-year and quarter-over-quarter improvements in GAAP and non-GAAP net income and EPS2, and adjusted EBITDA2, as the cost savings from our global restructuring began to take hold. This performance was especially notable, as our headline results were partially masked by expected revenue declines at GuruShots. However, the business's bottom-line losses were meaningfully reduced due to streamlining the organization as part of the global restructuring, coupled with lower customer acquisition spend. "Our underlying business metrics were robust as well. Active subscribers reached an all-time high of nearly 900,000, representing a 37% increase from last year, while subscription revenue increased by 13%. The discrepancy between these two numbers is attributed to a mix shift driven by an increase in lifetime subscriptions, where revenue is amortized over 30 months while the related app store fees are recognized upfront. This results in an attractive recurring revenue stream with a 100% gross margin during the tail period. In fact, our deferred revenue, which is primarily tied to subscriptions, increased by 83% year-over-year and 13% sequentially, standing at nearly $5 million at quarter's end. I'm also encouraged by Zedge Premium's revenue growth, which more than doubled, fueled by availing it to web users and continued user demand for pAInt, our Gen AI creation suite and Parallax 3D Wallpapers." Fourth Quarter Fiscal 2025 Outlook Reich continued: "We're seeing continued momentum in our core business through the first month of Q4, supported by strong user engagement. On the operational front, we're starting to reap the financial benefits of our global restructuring efforts. Year-over-year improvements in cost structure and free cash flow should become more visible in Q4, even taking into account traditional seasonality and continued expected softness at GuruShots, providing a stronger foundation as we scale new growth initiatives. "We also announced a major strategic milestone last week - the launch of a content marketplace for AI training sets critical to the success of foundational models. This initiative capitalizes on Zedge's massive creator community - at both Gurushots and Zedge Marketplace - and our content catalog of tens of millions of images, creating a new potential revenue stream for us. We've already signed our first AI dataset partnership with a leading AI company and plan to evaluate opportunities that would expand the marketplace beyond images. is not only attractive to the market due to its ability to promptly supply bespoke content at scale but also because it has reset the bar for AI training benchmarks with the Sample Dataset compared to legacy solutions like AWS Rekognition. "Another exciting development is the upcoming rollout of our audio AI generator within Zedge Premium. As one of the first consumer platforms to introduce this functionality, we're tapping into a powerful new dimension of personalization. By enabling users to create ringtones and notification sounds from simple prompts, we're expanding our leadership in mobile content and unlocking a new category of user expression that complements our existing image-based offerings and has the potential to contribute to our offering. "For Emojipedia, we're gearing up for World Emoji Day in July, with plans to introduce an exciting new feature to the Emoji Sandbox ahead of the event that will deepen user interaction and further elevate our brand's profile. We also remain on track for modernizing and upgrading the website in the months to come. "We're actively ideating about the direction for GuruShots 2.0, including onboarding, voting mechanic and progression. Related to this is how we create a synergistic relationship with - incentivizing players to create content that can be used for AI training. We are being deliberate in our planning in order to deliver the best comprehensive outcome for all relevant parties. "We're energized by the innovation happening across the company and remain focused on disciplined execution, platform synergy and creating long-term value for users, creators and shareholders alike." Third Quarter Highlights (fiscal 2025 versus fiscal 2024) Revenue increased 1.3% to $7.8 million; GAAP operating income improved to $0.2 million, compared to an operating loss of ($0.1) million; 2025 operating income included restructuring charges of ($0.6) million; GAAP net income and income per share (EPS) increased 63.7% and 70.8%, respectively, to $0.2 million and $0.01 compared to $0.1 million and $0.01; Non-GAAP net income and EPS increased 81.5% and 89.4%, respectively, to $0.9 million and $0.06 compared to $0.5 million and $0.03; Free Cash Flow of $0.8 million; Adjusted EBITDA increased 46.0% to $1.2 million compared to $0.9 million; Zedge Premium's GTV,increased 3.8% to $0.6 million; Repurchased 219,087 shares of Class B Common Stock, leaving $3.8 million of the $5 million authorization available at the end of the quarter.

As Zedge Premium is an internal focus for growth, we believe this metric will help investors evaluate our progress in growing this part of our business.

An Active Subscription is a subscription that has commenced and not been canceled, including paused subscriptions and subscriptions in free trials, grace periods, or account hold. This is important because it is a source of recurring revenue. Total Installs - Cumulative measures the number of times the Zedge App has been downloaded since inception. 2 Throughout this release, Non-GAAP Net Income, Non-GAAP EPS, Free Cash Flow (FCF), FCF Yield and Adjusted EBITDA/Margin are non-GAAP financial measures intended to provide useful information that supplement Zedge's results in accordance with GAAP.

Our management also believes these measures are useful in evaluating our core operating results. However, these are not measures of financial performance under GAAP and should not be considered an alternative to net income or operating income/margin as an indicator of our operating performance or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
