Super Cute Box - September Box

Having taken a break, I used a promo code to get 30% off a one-off box from Super Cute Box. These boxes are always filled with many kawaii things and easy delivery (no need to sign or wait for the postman, it just simply drops through your letterbox!). The only difference is that this box doesn't contain the bracelet charm.

As always, when you open the box you are greeted with a photocard featuring this month's bracelet charm. This one is bacon and eggs, and I am sad that because it is a one-off box, I won't be receiving this one!

So this month's box features...

Panda Eye Mask - I have been wanting an eye mask for better sleep for a long time, so my prayers have been answered! Plus, it is a panda mask, which is a bonus.
Cute Cake Erasers - these look too delicious to eat!
Fruit headphone plug - useful for protecting your smartphone from dust. I received the orange edition. This item I wasn't a big fan of; it looks very small and easy to break.
Unicorn earrings from innabox - these are quite quirky, I am interested to see the rest of their collection
Hello Kitty pen - well, who doesn't love Hello Kitty?
Bird Peg - this has many uses - crafts, fashion, paperclip...functional as well as stylish
Macaroon - at first I thought it was a charm or decorative object but when I shook it, something rattled inside. Curious, I pulled apart the two sides and it revealed a purple origami star and a gold "love" necklace. This was a lovely surprise!

I have missed receiving these boxes and this one-off box is just a reminder of why! I have placed an order for a three month subscription, and I cannot wait!

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 - 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...

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...
