LOVE IT: Graze ~ Nibble Box

Hello :)

My mam kept getting this healthy nibbles through the post when i was back home visiting. 'Its only £3.89' she kept saying! She highly recommended them to me and gave me a code so that i got my first and fifth box for free. So the word 'Free' Instantly got me interested. I used the code and signed up for the free box and if you are unhappy with the product you simply cancel it after you receive the box and you have no commitment which i think is really good.

If you go onto the website Graze Box you just sign up and you get the option to choose between three main boxes;

~Nibble Box (which i get) ~ This is maximum variety and you get to choose from over 100 nibbles.

~Eat Well Box ~ Which is a more healthy box however you will receive a little treat from time to time.

~Energy Box ~ This is the strictest box in which you do not receive any treats only the most healthy selection of the nibbles.

You then choose the type of box you are interested in and then you get to rate all the nibbles they may send you. These are the ratings;

~ 'Bin' if you know you do not like something.

~ 'Try' if you want them to send you something and you are not sure.

~ 'Like' if you know you like it.

~ 'Love' if you definitely like it.

~'Send soon' if you cant wait for the random selection to come around for your favourite things.

Here is what i received in my first box :)

As you can see above each box you receive 4 different nibbles. The nibbles i received were;

~ The British Barbecue ~ rosemary crostini, mini basil bread sticks, fiery seeds and smoked almonds

Review:I really enjoyed these they were packed full of flavour and i even dipped the crostinis and bread sticks into my tomato soup hehe that was really nice as well :) I have rated these LOVE.

~ Lightly Toasted Pistachios ~ roasted pistachios with a touch of salt.

Review: I love pistachios so i did love these and the salt just gives them an extra tastiness mmmmmm. I have rated these LIKE.

~ Honeycomb Flapjack ~ rustic rolled oat flapjack with honeycomb and milk chocolate.

Review: This nibble is classed as a treat :) and it is a yummy one at that! Chocolate and honeycomb in the same little treat! Delightful! I rated this as LOVE. 

~ Garden of England~ mini strawberries, blackcurrants and apple.

Review: I loved the mini strawberries because they were lovely and sweet. The blackcurrants however were pretty tart a little too tart for me i am afraid. Then on to the apple i was not really a fan at all because it was very chewy and bizarre. I rated this BIN.

You also get codes given with your boxes to enable friends to get their first box free and then if they sign up using your code you then get the choice for £1 off your next box or to give to charity. :)

If anyone would like any codes just ask :)

Give it a try i recommend it! What do you think of your boxes?

Everyone loves their bed...

How dooooo,

So I was at work today and I was craving my bed. I was wishing I was there instead of being screamed at from all angles by 3 year olds. That in turn got me to thinking everyone loves their beds yet they are all so different.

What's your space like where you go to the land of nod every night? This is mine and I lurrvvveeee it! I think it just captures me perfectly!

January Wish List

Hellos,

I am constantly spending my time browsing the Internet online shopping or should i say online wishing! I rarely buy things compared to how much i actually look and want things. This may have something to do with my wages have already been accounted for unfortunately.

So i have decided to monthly let you know what i am craving that particular month. If i do also manage to squeeze some of these things into my budget i will post them and review them for you all because i am lovely like that!

Bodycon Dress In Abstract Stripe Print (Asos - £30) - I have an engagement party to attend this month and i think this would be lovely. I am very much into my fitted midi dresses at the moment.

French Script Boxes (Next, £14) - I think these would look lovely in my bedroom to keep all them random things in which you do not really know what to do with.

Track Rings Necklace (Topshop, £18.50) - I love this necklace it has a rustic gold colouring which i love and i think this would be a necklace which would finish off many outfits really nicely. 

Hack Grey Platform Sandals (Miss Selfridge, £49.00) - I have totally fell in love with these shoes! They would look gorgeous with most outfits and also come in black! Some time i will buy these! hehe

Nails Inc Special Effects Graffiti/ Nails Inc Special Effects Concrete (Nails Inc, £12.00) - I think these speak for themselves. They just make your nails and hands look utterly beautiful i expect. With my love for beautiful nails is growing i think these would make a lovely addition to my slowly growing collection.

What are you craving this month?!

LOVE IT: Slate Candle Holders

Howdy,

Well i just had to share with you one of my latest additions to my flat :) They are my heart shaped slate candle holders! I think they are just utterly beautiful! They are by far one of my favourite pieces in the flat so far. I'm a tad excitable as you may be able to tell hehe but i get like this when i luuurrvvveee something :)

I think they just make your flat/home feel so homely they are lush! They are black slate and each are slightly different which makes them even more unique. And if you are having a romantic night in even if it is just with a bottle of wine and your book they just set a mood that is totally gorge! hehe

Nail Art Obsession

So while I have been a tad quiet I have got myself really into nail art! I have abused my nail envy to gain false nail length natural nails which I LOVE!

It's a very rare occasion when I don't have any nail varnish on at all. So I decide why not be more creative with it. What have I got to loose? (My social life?!) Ha! I actually get told off by friends and family for how much I do them over other things!

Here are a few of my latest :)

Hope you like them :) which are your favourite?

I'm backkkkk

So it's the new year and I feel because I have not blogged for like agesssss!!!! I need to step it up! I promise I will do better this year. I have made it into one of my new year resolutions so this obviously means it is a must! Hehe.

In my defence my 2012 was all over the place for me. I have gone from a party mad bar tender who lives in Newcastle to a teaching assistant who lives in Barnsley! BIG changes for me! So now I actually have normal living and functioning hours in the day it maybe a little easier for me :)

Wish me luck.
