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!

Hot Chocolate at Costa Coffee

Recently I tried one of Costa’s Christmas Orange Hot Chocolates at Atlantic Village. I asked for cocoa powder and I got a frog on the top! How … Christmassy?

Morrisons Gingerbread House

We recently got one of these Gingerbread House DIY sets from Morrisons, which looks very Christmassy. The photo on the box looked very impressive, I doubted I could recreate this look! …And despite my efforts, I could not! I tried my best! Included in the box are the gingerbread, plastic tray, packet of white icing and assorted sweets for decoration. The icing is already pre-made but requires you to massage it for 1 minute to soften it. However, I needed longer than this because the icing was still too hard. The gingerbread house comes in six pieces which are assembled with help of the plastic tray and some icing. This was fairly easy to do! The gingerbread smells delicious that I have to impose some self-control and not eat it… The tricky bit (and messy) was decorating the house. I found icing was difficult to do – sometimes it was too hard to get out of the bag, and sometimes it would not stick to the gingerbread itself! Trying to ice the windows and doors was a nightmar...

Edinburgh - Edinburgh Zoo

Edinburgh Zoo is a short bus ride from Princes Street. We arrived nice and early in order to maximise our animal-seeing time. Admittance is £16.50 for adults. There are plenty of animals to see, although sadly we didn’t get to see all of them! The orangutan enclosure was closed for medical reasons and the Sumatran tiger was hiding from us! Zebras Koala Bear Edinburgh Zoo is the only zoo in the UK which plays host to koala bears and giant pandas. There are currently four koalas. Hello Tian Tian Tian TIan with her bamboo It was recently revealed in the news that Tian Tian is pregnant, so the zoo had warned that visitors might not be able to see her. However, Yang Guang will be encouraged to come out for regular feedings. For the pandas, you have to book a viewing slot. During our viewing slot (about 11am), Tian Tian was sat with her back to the visitors eating bamboo. She reached to the side table for more bamboo, nearly losing her balance in the process. Eventually,...
