Get in on the mix!
Let's talk about some more English facts. The word 'mix' is commonly used in various proverbs and expressions. To get 'mixed up' means to get confused about something. To be 'in the mix' means to be involved, or a part of something - whether good or bad. Speaking about good or bad, to have 'mixed feelings' means you're not quite sure how you feel about something.
Another word that we absolutely love is 'mixer', especially when it has the word Smeg in front of it, like our deal today! Trust us, this is a mix you definitely want to be in, and you'll have no mixed feelings about it either.
