My Little Box June Edition - The French Riviera Box

I wrote last month about how I was a little disappointed with the Provence box in terms of the items that were included. I decided to give My Little Box another go as I really like the concept. I used a discount code to get free p+p (I think the current one is SPRINGTIME) making the cost £11.

This month's box was a vast improvement on the Provence box!




Inside the box is the free magazine, a Kanako print, a beauty bag, a box of sunglasses and two storage bags. The products are influenced by this month's featured designer, Sarah Lanvoine. 


These sunglasses are stylish and great for summer (should the sunshine last!). Includes cleaning cloth.



These storage bags are beautifully designed and sturdy as well. On the pack, it implies it can store plants and flowers, as well as make up and other bits and bobs.



We also have the Kanako print, which is cute, and the fold out magazine, which includes more information about this month's products, beauty tips and an interview with Sarah Lanvoine.


In my opinion, the beauty bag is a lot better than last month's. I felt that the products were quite small and had already been given free in another promotion by L'Occitane which was disappointing. This month are three full size products.


First is the Sea Salt Fresh Scrub by My Little Beauty (RRP £8.50). This contains Geurande sea salt cristals and Ajonc water to exfoliate the skin to get it summer ready.


I am quite excited to see a hair product this time. This is Nectar Thermique from Kerastase (RRP £19.50) which makes dull hair look more lively and softer. As someone who blowdries their hair quite a lot, this product is perfect for me. I can't wait to try this one.




The last item in this month's beauty bag is a nail polish from Loved by Sarah Lavoine (RRP £6.50). The colour is nice, and will make a good addition to my ever-growing collection of nail polishes.

Overall, the French Riviera box made me smile. If My Little Box continues to do boxes like this, or even better, I will be happy to subscribe.

Update: last month, I had an issue with the shower gel leaking in my box. I contacted My Little Box, and although it took quite a while for them to respond, they offered to send me a replacement and a new bag. Fantastic!

Edinburgh - National Museum of Scotland

The National Museum of Scotland is a vast building filled with exhibitions and displays covering nature, history, art, literature and science. There are also sections dedicated to Scottish history and culture. There is so much to see, I could possibly see one spending the entire day here! Another bonus is that it is free admittance. We were only here for a few hours, so unfortunately we didn’t get to see everything. My particular favourites were seeing the displays on different world cultures, natural history and the environment and the pivotal role Scotland has played in popular culture and art through the ages.

Hey Pikachu!

On the back of Pokemon Go, there seems to be an increase of Pokemon merchandise everywhere. I got this Pikachu portable phone charger from Currys at £17.99, perfect for on the go (and playing Pokemon Go!)  Pokemon XYZ has just ended in Japan, and it is a fantastic ending (I won't give it away!) - the last few episodes are especially emotional and a great end to what has been an action packed season! A lot of people say it is the greatest season since Indigo League! The Sun and Moon anime trailers has been appearing online, and it seems like a big backward step in terms of the storytelling. A lot of people have mocked the animation style, in particular, Ash's design. Time will tell if the anime can gain as much fans as XY/XYZ...

Bideford Christmas Lights Switch On 2016

On Sunday December 4th, Bideford Quayside was closed for the Christmas Lights Switch On event. Due to work, I wasn’t able to see the lights switch on, but I visited the fair beforehand. It was very cold but that didn’t stop the many visitors from getting into the Christmas spirit! There was an opportunity to have a “steam train” ride around the town and free reindeer antlers and Santa hats were being given away for free! There were lots of rides, hot food stalls and games. We won a teddy! There was also live music playing from the stage. Well known characters, including Batman, Peppa Pig and one crazy looking Pikachu walked around greeting everyone. It wouldn’t be Christmas without a few reindeers! They attracted a big crowd and mostly did some eating. The event closed with some spectacular fireworks from the riverside.
