My Little Box July Edition - The Road Trip Box

This is box three of My Little Box subscription. After being initially disappointed with the first box I received, last month's box was a pleasant surprise. There were delivery problems with last month, which meant subscribers received their box late last month. This meant less of a wait in between boxes (only two weeks!), yet how does the July box fare? Does it continue to excel?

This month's theme is Road Trip, so there are lots of travel goodies included! First item is the Ready To Send Notebook (RRP £3.50) with a Cristal Stylus Bic Pen (RRP £1.40). The idea is to take this on your travels, and jot down all the things you do and see. Seal it up and send to a loved one, so they can read what you have been up to! This is quite a sweet idea, and the Kanako design is lovely!

This "Never Stop Exploring" box contains the next item.

This is a travel organiser (RRP £10.50) which contains pockets for tickets, passport and money, making it handy for those on the go. Again it features illustration by Kanako, making it stylish as well as practical.

This month's beauty bag has a new design of pink stars, and consists of four products.

Essie Nail Polish (RRP £7.99). This is another nail polish to add to my vast collection!

Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water (RRP 1.99). This is a gentle way to remove make up and stresses of the day, leaving your skin feeling fresh and smooth.

Golden Temporary Tattoos by DCER (RRP £3.50). Perhaps a new summer trend, having already been included in Glossybox's Festival Edit? Would be good for parties.

Summer Sorbet - After Sun Body Gelee (RRP £9). Sweet treat for the skin - I love the smell!

The quality of July's box is great! I really like this month's items, especially the lifestyle items. If only I could go on a holiday to somewhere sunny to use these travel items...

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?

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,...

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...
