Cath Kidston Disney Haul

On Friday I took a trip to Lakeside shopping centre as I had a email in the day saying that Cath Kidston had up to 50% off their Disney range. I am not too sure how long there has been a Cath Kidston store in Lakeside because I only noticed it a couple of weeks ago.
I went into the store to look at the Disney shoes and purses that were on offer. I had heard that the shoes fitted small so I wanted to be able to try them on before buying them and I could not do that if I ordered online.
I had planned on getting shoes, purse and a bowl from the Disney range. I ended up getting quite a bit more, I blame my husband who said he liked the mugs and also that we should get four bowls and not one. So this is everything we got in the sale.

I got the shoes which I have been wearing for the past couple of days and they are really comfy. I haven’t decided if I will wear them to Disneyland Paris in April. I know I will be doing a lot of walking and am not sure If they will end up hurting my feet.
Did anyone else get any good deals in the Disney sale? I would love to know what you got if you did.

I think that is it for now for this short post as I have no idea what else to write and I will probably start rambling. So bye for now.

Hex Bomb Bewitching Bath Bombs

I have always been a Lush girl staying away from any bath bomb or bubble bar that did not have the Lush logo. Last month I thought why! Lush are not the greatest company in the world although millions of Lushies (Lushie is someone obsessed with or someone that really loves Lush) would disagree with me. Anyway I decided to look for something from a smaller company and something that called to me, there is only so many pretty pink bath bombs one person can stand and I am not a pink girl. Black is my go to colour so I had a look around to see what there was.
I found Hex Bomb, Hex Bomb is the sister company of bella muerte clothing in Ireland. They have a website, facebook and instagram. Their bath bombs are not like your average bath bombs their bath bombs are more of a goth bath bomb. I ordered 3 to try them out and see what I thought. I am not sure what I did with my photos of the black bomb called 'black as your soul' (seriously cool name right?!) So here are a few photos of their red one which is my favourite. The red one is called 'bathory' 

 The bomb came in a cute little spider web cupcake case. They do an travel pack one too now which I will order next time, they are a little bit bigger and you can take them with you if you go stay somewhere.

It quickly turned my bath an amazing blood red. I then realised that I could have some fun with this bath bomb.

Ok, I had a lot of fun with this bath bomb making my bathroom look like a murder scene, I made sure I cleaned up in case my Husband came in and wondered what on earth had happened haha.

And for those wondering no it did not stain my bath, You will have to excuse the state of the bath the previous tenants decided painting the bath was a good idea as the enamel is coming off.


I absolutely loved this bath bomb and can not wait till pay day till I can buy some more. It was so much fun and smelt lovely, I am not very good with smells but I think it smelled like berries. I honestly prefer this to pretty much every Lush bath bomb I have tried.

Let me know if you would like more blog posts on my baths, I usually post all my bath photos on my instagram but could add a few posts here too if it is something people would be interested in.

Lucky Dip Club Subscription Box

My Lucky Dip subscription box came. I love getting a mystery box of goodies each month, here are a few photos of what I received this month.

Small beauty haul

So today I decided to spend our tesco club card vouchers on some beauty bits. I needed mascara and eyeliner for ages as I lost my makeup bag a while ago and have been slowly replacing bits. This is what I got.

The eyeliner I got was by Barry M and I was assuming that it would be fine because I've had one of theirs before, I had wrong! The eye liner was terrible and I could hardly use it. The mascara wasn't much better but at least was usable. I am glad that I didn't actually pay for these items and got them with vouchers. 

We tried the face mask out tonight and it said 2 applications, luckily my husband did it with me as there is no way to store the unused product once you have opened it. The product itself wasn't too bad, it was very sticky to put on but dried quickly then you were able to peel it off. My husband did say don't use it near your beard haha. He had some trouble getting it out of his beard. We have one more sachet to use which we will do but I won't be buying it again. 

One thing we got today that we both loved was the exfoliating wipes, they exfoliated well and made your skin feel lovely after. We will be buying them again. 

So that's my random little review for today and I hope you all have a great weekend. 

Flamingo candles subscription box

okashi connection subscription box

Hello everyone, today our okashi connection subscription box came all the way from Japan, I dont have many photos from it as my husband and children could not wait to get stuck into all the goodies that we got. I think it is amazing that this box came all the way from Japan to the UK.

You get a leaflet in the box telling you what each product is and what it is like. This is important as everything is in Japanese and we don't know any.

We got a nice selection of different things to try, You get a lot of items for the price. I think it was about £13 including shipping.

This was the first thing we tried from the box, I didnt like the texture of the outside and the strawberry centre was too sweet for me but my husband and children loved them and quickly ate them all up.
We are continuing with this subscription as you get such a good selection of products are the box is reasonably priced.

Yarn, yarn and more yarn

Lately I have been buying more yarn so I am able to make more items for my etsy shop. I haven't made much for a while as I was out of yarn.

This week I have learnt how to make star blankets and I love it! They are so pretty. Here are a few of the bits I've been working on this past week.

I saw a picture of something like this in a magazine in Tesco and came home and decided to try and make something like it myself as it is not something that I have ever done before. It isn't perfect but I think it came out cute.

The finished ducky blanket, It is just sitting in a draw at the moment as I am not sure what to do with him. He was fun to make and it was good to make something different for a change.



My new favourite yarn is by ice yarns, The continuously changing colours are very pretty and look great in bigger projects such as the star blankets that I had brought the yarn for.

The star blanket works up quite fast to begin with then takes a while the bigger it gets. These will be sold in my etsy shop when I have finished a couple of them.

This is the first one I have done and it is almost finished. I love the way the colours of the yarn change as it goes round.
