Degusta Box- April

29 April 2016
Its Degusta Box time again as some of you may know i get these every month from the lovely people at Degusta Box. So without further or do here is what is in the box...


smarties, milky bar,


pimms, green lady,


parle, rusk

popchips, limited edition

canderel

bebeto, fruit strip,

veetee, rice, wholegrain

The first thing i got in this months box Canderel sugar, personally i think this is amazing sugar without calories and you wouldn't even notice the difference! Although this is £3 so is more expensive than other brands but its worth it.

Next is Pimms with a hint of strawberries and cucumber, i gave this to my mum and dad as i try not to drink alcohol. They thought this would be so lovely in summer as it was very fruity and refreshing. 

Next is the Levi Roots coat 'n' cook sauce, this is one of the only things from the box that i haven't tried yet but i can imagine that this would be gorgeous over ribs.

Popchips!! I love pop chips i always have the barbecue flavour but i hadn't tried these again, these are limited edition sea salt and garlic crisp weren't as flavory as the others i have tried but they were still lovely they always seem like such light snack. These are priced at £1.99.

Rejuvenation water is another item from this month ox, this is priced at £1.99 this is full of amino acids to fuel the immune system so its water thats even better for you than normal water.

Vestee microwavable rice is my favourite rice so i was so happy to see that these were in this months box they literally are the fluffiest rice that you will find. This priced at £1.29.

This is my favourite things from this months box; Smarties sharing block and Milkybar milk & crunchy. I am a big big smarties fan and despite this i had never tried the sharing block, the smarties in the chocolate are like a little hidden surprise. The milky bars are new, again I've always been a milky bar fan but these are nicer than i thought its literally like biscuit and white chocolate mixed. 

Next is Bebeto fruit strings, i was so so intrigued by these as they were a concept id never seen before. There are 7 individual packets of different fruit flavour strings i haven't tried these but they look so interesting and smell amazing and make the perfect snack on the go. 

Next is the Parle biscuits, Parle Rusk is amazing its like french toast and is gorgeous with butter I've nearly ate the whole pack whoops... These are such good value for money too as there under £1!!

Lastly is Green Lady this is a sparkling tea, something i have never ever heard of but this uses all natural ingredients and is a healthy drink. This is something personally i don't think id like as i don't even like normal tea but it is a very interesting concept.

Review: Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector

17 April 2016

Clarins, lipperfector, lip balm, Instant Light Lip Balm Perfector, rosewood.

I thought i would review this Clarins instant light lip balm perfector as I have realised I'm always doing hauls but i never review any of the things i actually buy so that is something i wasn't to do more often. Anyway i received this as a gift from my sister from christmas having wanting it for quite some time it is available here for £18.50, mine is in shade Rosewood(eek best name ever, pll fan).

I think these are great for a everyday use as they are very sheen glossy colour rather than a stand out colour matte lip but this makes it really easy to apply and stays on your lips for a long time. The one thing i love about these is how soft and hydrated they leave your lips feeling. Another thing i love about this product is the packaging i just think it looks very sleek and you can tell that this more of luxury product well compared to a normal lip balm i would say its on the luxury side.

Overall i would definitely recommend this product to anyone who wants the "your lips but better" type of look as this is perfect for of a day time.

Degusta Box

7 April 2016
Its Degusta Box time again!
This months box was the favourite box I've had in a long time. 






Brioche Pasquier £1.40
These are a new out, they contain creme patisserie, these come individually wrapped making them easy to take out with you for a snack during the day and for £1.40 you get 8 which is good value for 8. 

Weetabix On The Go £1.50
This is a breakfast drink, perfect for on the go. It works by combining all the energy and fibre that weetabix provides in this drink along with 20g extra protein. I received this in both strawberry and blackberry flavour, personally i think the strawberry is nicer but thats just my opinion,. 

Good Hemp Original Milk £1.49
This is a diary free alternative to milk, so is great for anyone who intolerant to diary especially as i always see people struggling to find a alternative that actually tastes like milk and i have to say this does a pretty good job.

Metcalfes Skinny Popcorn £1.50
I received this in flavour Cinema sweet, this is my favourite flavour of popcorn and it literally taste so so similar to cinema popcorn. Its great that it is so tasty because it has 67% less sugar than any other popcorn on the market. If you love sweet popcorn then you have to try this!

Kent's Kitchen Stuffing £1.85
This stuffing is perfect for roast dinners, personally i don't like stuffing so I'm giving this to my nan as she makes Sunday dinner for the whole family every single Sunday. This is also great because its made from all natural ingredients.  

Chewits 35p each
I love Chewits, for some reason they remind me of when i was little, they have been out for 50 years! The blackcurrant ones are my favourite they are so juicy and sweet i love love love them. 

Parle Biscuits 39&59p
This is another brand i hadn't heard of before getting this box and so far i have tried one of these packs of biscuits the hide and seek chocolate chips ones and they are lovely. Im interested to see what else this brand does as so far i like what i tried and i feel its a rea;;y reasonable price. 

Pipers Crisp £2.00
Im surprised i haven't tried these yet, because I'm a huge huge crisp fan i eat them every single day without fail which is bad i know but i love them. These crisp have won so many awards that I'm so excited to try them in the yummy cheddar and onion flavour. 

Lindt white chocolate bunny £2.50
This was my favourite thing in this months box, i love Lindt bunnies there so cute but i didn't even know they did it in white chocolate till i received this box and I'm huge huge white chocolate fan! This is the only chocolate bunny i got this year so ill cherish it haha!

Kallo Cakes £1.00 & £1.89
Kallo was a brand i had never heard of before i received this box, in the box there was multigrain cakes and rice cakes. The multi grain cakes are the perfect snack when your a bit peckish equally the rice cakes are too. The rice cakes have milk chocolate on the back of them making them that little bit sweeter but still are low calorie. 

Karyatis Crackers and dip £1.99
Karyatis is a brand looking to bring a touch of the Mediterranean to you. This product has a red pepper and tangy feta dip with rosemary crackers. This is perfect for a snack or even if you were putting together a Mediterranean inspired tea then this could be a little starter.

This month is national noodle month, I didn't even know this existed till this year and when given the opportunity to work with Naked Noodle for national noodle month i jumped at the chance as i am a huge huge noodle fan! 

nakednoodle, noodle, chow mein,




Naked Noodle challenged me to turn these snack pots into a meal, so i took on the challenge. 

I recieved a package of three snack pots; Chinese Chow Mein, Cantonese Hoisin Duck and Singapore curry there are 5 other flavours available including: Thai Sweet Chilli,, Malaysian Laksa, Thai Tom Yum, Vietnamese Beef Pho and  Japanese Teriyaki. 

For the challenge i used the Hoisin Duck flavour noodles, these were very rich in flavour and the hoisin sauce is very prominent in these noodles as it is very strong. For my challenge i added some actual duck to my noodles and i also added some chills to add a stronger and a bit spicier flavour to them and it did turn what could of been a little snack perfect for on the go and for lunches in to a substantial meal and I would definitely recommend these to anyone

Cheerz Personalised Prints

3 March 2016

I was lucky enough to have the chance to get some prints from Cheerz, for those of you who don't know Cheerz is a online photo printing service who offer a range of different products including: Posters, albums, magnets, boxes and prints.

I chose to get the the box and photo strips. There is a range of different boxes you can get which includes the big fat box and the cheerz box. I chose the cheerz box which consists of 50 to 200 Polaroid photos in a keepsake box making these the perfect gift. One thing i love about these is the way you can personalise them by adding a caption to the picture. 

The photo strips are my favourite thing, you get 5 strips containing 4 photos on each strip and it comes in a  adorable little envelope. I love these as they remind me of a photo booth i just think there a perfect gift or even for yourself and a keepsake or for memories. 

The quality of these prints is something that I love, i often find it hard to find photos of a good quality when printing in a different style such as Polaroid but the quality is definitely not compromised. You can download Cheerz as a app too which makes the whole process of ordering photos so convenient and such a easy process to do.

Degusta Box...

24 February 2016
I very kindly received a Degusta Box again woo! So as usual I will talk about the products I got in this months box.








Firstly I received Finn Crisp Original, these are £1.20 and i love these! I think there such a lightweight versatile snack as you can have so many different things with them. Also these are really low in fat and contain lots of fibre and vitamins!

Next is the Coldpress apple juice £1.40, this is cold pressed which gives this a much fresher and fruity taste! It is very sweet but i love anything sweet and is also very tasty!

Conscious chocolate is another thing that was it in the box, this is a raw and vegan chocolate. They come in three flavours: plain, intense and chilli. I received the intense bar in my box,  this is perfect for any dark chocolate lovers!

The next thing i received in my box is the Jordans Country Crisp Fruit and Nut. These taste exactly how you think they would, they are little cluster with crunchy nuts and fruit in them. This makes for a nice healthy start to the day!

Amoy, Thia green curry and Malaysian laksa, these cooking sauces make it so easy to create Asian dishes from at home, i haven't actually tried these yet as these are a bit adventurous for me but i am actually excited to try them.

Next is Tsingtao, this is a brand id never heard of but in fact is China's best selling beer! Supposedly this drink is more drinkable as it mellows the bitterness normally found in beer. This is priced at £2.00 a bottle.

Next are the Yushoi rice sticks, i received the lightly salted flavour, these are made using green peas and the actual product when you bite into them is green which i found mad but they are very tasty. These are priced at £2.00 per pack.

Next is Clarks fruit syrup, this can be used to sweeten and give flavour to drinks or in baking so is quite versatile, I'm yet to try this product but i think i may use this in baking!

Next is the slim noodles, i made a meal using these last week and if I'm being honest i found them so strange. Flavour wise i really liked them but i really hated the texture of them its so hard to describe but they had almost a boney texture to them.

Lastly is the Crobar, this is a energy bar, this is £2.25 for one bar which i have to say i find quite expensive for that little bar, i received the peanut crunch flavour which is tasty but like i said quite expensive for such a small bar.

Degusta Box Time....

13 February 2016
So here is another Degusta Box, as you probably know by now i have been getting these every month and i have been loving them! So here goes..







Firstly in this months box i recived two packets of Hip Pops one in cheese and onion flavour and one in sweet chilli. These were by far my favourite product this month snacks like these are my favourite, these taste very light and very flavory. The sweet chilli were my favourite and actually think there nicer than snack a jacks. The one big bonus about these are that they contain 50% less fat than other potato crisp and you honestly would never be able to tell they are just as scrumptious. These are priced at £1.00 each.

Next is the Betavivo cereal, these are £1 each and come in little pouches perfect for traveling with or even taking to work with you. This cereal is proven to lower cloresterol and blood glucose so is very good for you and a perfect way to start the day and are in fact very tasty.

Next is the thing but healthy dried fruit, personally i don't like dried fruit but ill talk about this anyway. I received strawberry& banana and grapefruit& pineapple flavoured fruit. These are under 80 calories and are priced at £1.69 each.

Famous Baker, mango and pineapple bars is another item that i was sent. These are a very healthy snack, the bars are made from all natural ingredients and have no added sugar or anything like that! There £1.80 which i think is quite good for 4 bars and these are easy on the go snack that is very yummy.

The next two products i will include together as they make one meal, it is the Barilla pasta and Mediterranean Vegetables these are priced at £1.50 and £2.00. These would compliment each other perfectly and would be a easy meal to create, i haven't yet had this but i am excited to try it!

Koko dairy free milk is another product i received in the box, this is priced at £1.79. This is a great alternative to 'normal' cows milk. The thing i love about this milk is that it really doesn't taste much different to cow's milk, which is something you always find tends to happen when you take out the diary so i would definitely recommend this.

Crabbies light beer, this is meant to be adaptation to the original Crabbies beer but its meant to be lighter and last longer. This is priced at £1.49. I actually don't drink but my dad loves me getting these boxes as he always enjoys the beers and he really enjoyed this one.

Red Square Mini in Toffee flavour, like i said i don't drink my boyfriend had this one and he enjoyed although he said it was very sweet so if your not into sweet drinks then this won't be for you. This is priced at £1.99.

Treevitalise water is another product from the box, i received the original water and i tried it without reading about it at all and was surprised by the taste it in fact doesn't taste like normal water. It isn't diluted or mixed so it is all natural. This is quite expensive for a small water at £2.79 but i suppose thats what the price is for it being all natural.

Next is the Compete Energy these are priced at £1.99 these are chocolate bites that are infused with caffeine to give you a boost so this would be perfect for anyone going the gym for a boost before working out they also state that they are good to take 5 minutes before studying.

My Wishlist...

1 February 2016

These are my top 6 things I'm currently wanting right now.

Firstly is this puma jumper, although i don't like to be stereo typical i am a blogger and yes i do love rose gold so this jumper just jumps out at me, I'm loving it right now and it look like it would be super comfy. This is avaliable here from asos for £32 which i don't think is too bad. 

Next is this Marc Jacobs watch, i already have a Marc Jacobs watch but when i was getting it i was debating between this and another and now I'm really wanting this one too. The best deal i found for this watch is here from Living Social deals.

Next is this pandora ring, i love pandora rings there probably one of my favourites and I'm in love with this one, its probably one of there more expensive rings at £60 but would be perfect for a extra special gift. You can find this here.

Next is these sunglasses, these are available here from asos. I don't quite know what it is about these sunglasses that grabs my attention but i love them they would be perfect for the summer time. 

Oh, these shoes. I am desperate for these there available here from asos. I think these would just look lovely with a pair of jeans. Theres something different about these that i just love, love, love.

Lastly is this jacket, this is just something anyone could pick for me. Im obsessed with little jackets as spring and autumn are my favourite times of the year i love just being able to wear little jackets all the time and this suede jacket would just be perfect. This available here from misguided. 

What are you wanting right now?
