My Little Box Review - December 2016

The penultimate box from My Little Box for December 2016.

This box was a mixed theme, and one which I was incredibly disappointed by.  
So much so, that this will be my last My Little Box - I have just unsubscribed! 🙈
I simply cannot afford to pay £14.95 a month for a box whose contents I'm really not impressed with.

A major necessity for the fake tanners among us, you need to exfoliate to give yourself a good base for your fake tan.

Gothenburg Sweden and a Mini Haul

Last week I was lucky enough to fulfill a dream of mine, by visiting Gothenburg in Sweden!

As someone who loves everything Swedish design; to be invited to go as part of my new job, was an opportunity that I couldn't miss.
We were only there for 3 days, so I couldn't venture out as much as I would've liked - but I still managed to fit in some shopping, networking and drinking along the way!
I thought I would share some small items that I brought back, along with some of my favourite photos from the trip!  (for more gorgeous photos, check out my Instagram Page)

Dermalogica Charcoal Rescue Mask

I love face masks!  
A little indulgence during the week, or at weekends for a Sunday night pamper - I always try to make some 'ME' time.
A few years ago I was a regular Dermalogica product user, with facials once a month - I must confess I was addicted. 
Then my life changed and I just couldn't afford this little pamper anymore, and I have missed Dermalogica and their amazingly innovative products, ever since.
Then the team at Dermalogica got in touch, and told me about their new Charcoal Rescue Mask.. and now my Dermalogica addiction is back with a vengeance!

Butterfly Twists

Butterfly Twists – a brand that I have heard of before – but I’ve never had the pleasure of purchasing.
When the team got in touch and offered me the opportunity to choose a pair, and then review them, I couldn’t say no.

For someone that when their feet are uncomfortable, they are uncomfortable – I am forever carrying spare trainers in my bag.  The concept of Butterfly Twists is simple – foldable and portable ballet shoes, that fold in half, come in variety of styles - and then can be neatly stored in their own drawstring bag.

A Fresh New Start....

As some of you might know, this Saturday I am moving house.  It marks a huge milestone in my life.
My first ever home – for me and my two Cat husbands!  
Months of work, packing, and viewings have come down to this – and I am excited and apprehensive at the same time!

It’ll be weird to have so much silence, no housemates around me every day – but I’m excited to begin this next chapter....

eSalon is such a unique concept!  
You can use the site for a professionally prescribed at home hair colour called 'Custom Colour' or, you can opt for 'The Match-up' where you can either purchase your own range of hair products and then subscribe for those products to be sent to you every month, or if you need some hair help opt for the Get Matched service where a professional hairdresser will recommend products to be sent to you.
I was lucky enough to meet the UK team behind eSalon, and receive the hair products below from 'The Match-up' range.
