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.

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.

Edinburgh - Eteaket Tea Room and Ibis Hotel

We arrived on a Thursday afternoon. Luckily for us, the sun was shining as we made our way to the Eteaket tea room on Frederick Street. Eteaket is famed for its teas, and they supply many local restaurants and other cafes. The tea room itself is quite spacious and full of customers, which shows how popular it is. As well as teas, light lunches and afternoon teas are also on the menu; something to suit any occasion. I opted for a high tea, with Royal Earl Grey tea. The high tea is priced at £8.45 and includes half a sandwich of your choice (I had Scottish Ham and Cheddar Cheese), scone (fruit or plain) and a mini cake (I think I had lemon cake). Tea is also included. Eteaket uses loose leaf tea, good quality and better tasting. The waitress also brough a mini timer. When the sands run out, the tea has brewed for long enough and is ready to drink after you remove the filter. What a beautiful cup of tea! The food was tasty and filling too, making it a great value high tea...
