[Ad- gifted product] Pancake Day is a strange holiday in the United Kingdom, for it everyone seems to eat Pancakes for breakfast, lunch or dinner. This day is meant to be Shrove Tuesday, which is preceding Ash Wednesday, but no one I know seems to talk about the religious routes and instead shares great pictures of the pancakes they’ve made. We wanted to do something a little different, so we jumped on the Instagram trend of Pancake Boards or Pancake Charcuterie boards.
[Ad- gifted experience] The Cecily Beauty and Relaxation spa has been recently refurbished, so both Claire and I were invited to a day out to try out their relaxing services and see the new look. There is a lot to do at this spa from body treatments to lashes, to pedicures, to piercings and spray tans. There are so many ways to indulge in self care and relaxation. Partnered with the Alchemy & i blow dry and bubbles, it’s the perfect place to book a day all about treating yourself.
The Alchemy & i blow dry and bubbles lounge is an area where you can get your hair styled and blow dried, while also sipping on delicious cocktails and bubbly drinks. This is like the ultimate bar for those who want to look fabulous. I didn’t end up getting a blow dry and spent my time in the Cecily spa, but still found this concept to be lovely and will be back to try out this area in the future.

I kept seeing the Artbox Cafe on Instagram – a cafe that serves different desserts, with a different character featured at the cafe for a limited amount of time. When it comes to holidays, the cafe also changes, having special Halloween items and Winter themed desserts. The cafe is split into two floors, the bottom floor is where you can get takeaway ice creams or drinks, as well as purchase a bunch of cute, themed items. As the theme was Pusheen, the items in the bottom floor was all Pusheen; notebooks, books, mugs, jewellery, sushi sets, tumblers, squishes – something for everyone. Upstairs, you can find a small, sit down dining experience where you can order from a slightly larger menu. Dann, Claire (who wrote her own post on this) and I went to the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe in the last week that Pusheen was there!

At the end of last month, I went along to the Toy Fair 2020 – I go each year, mainly to check out board games for Big Boss Battle, a site I am one of the owners of. As we’ve been reviewing toys on this blog, I figured I’d spend more time looking at the Toy aspect of the Toy Fair. Sadly, on the day we were meant to go to the Toy Fair, our car’s catalytic converter was stolen while parked in a parking lot – what a wild ride. Because of this, I ended up only having part of one day to explore the Toy Fair, but I booked a few appointments and checked out a bunch of different toys. I wanted to share with you what I found to be the coolest toys of the fair!
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to candles, our living rooms seems to have a mix. From the scents of peach to pumpkin apple, candles seem to be a favorite around here. I even got a candle advent calendar this year for Christmas, to try out all the different scents. When Sassy Shop Wax Melts reached out about their wax melts, I was instantly interested in getting some new scents into our living room. Wax melts actually last longer than candles, so I grabbed an electric wax melt warmer from Amazon and picked out two relaxing scents.
