The Map of Everyone – Personalised Map | Review

[Ad- gifted product] Dann is a huge fan of maps. He’s got loads of them scattered about, although some have gotten a bit warn over the years. The biggest map we have, featured in the living room, is a map of the world that gets scratched off whenever we end up in a new country or state, with the hopes of it eventually being a full, colourful map. With his love of maps in mind, when The Book of Everyone reached out with a personalised map, I jumped on the opportunity.

After talking over loads of locations for The Map of Everyone, we settled on Loughton – a town quite near to us that we tend to visit regularly. Loughton train station is the one we take into London every time we want to go into the town, and it is the train station that Dann use to meet me at for tabletop nights. There is a restaurant called Wing Shack in Loughton, which is my favourite wings place and Dann’s overall favourite place to eat. Often we have little nights out at the pub in Loughton or just spent walking around the town, to see the shops and go shopping. It’s just a cute town that we always seem to end up at when we have few spare hours to hang out and don’t want to be at home. At one point, we started joking about how the town was basically ours.

New Years Giveaway: £100 Cinema Gift Card

2019 was a year where I saw more films then ever before. I got one of those cards that allow you to pay a monthly fee to see movies whenever you want – including secret screenings of movies not quite out yet. Previously, I had not been big into movies, but after a year of movie nights at least twice a month with friends, I actually really love movies. I’ve seen so much this year and intend to see even more next year! With this in mind, I’ve teamed up with a group of bloggers to give you the chance to win a £100 Cinema gift card, so you can start enjoying some amazing movies yourself. One lucky winner will be able to pick an Odeon or Vue cinema gift card to the value of £100 to enjoy in 2020!

2020 Goals

We are getting closer and closer to the end of 2019. It’s been a rough year, loads of changes, but I have survived and that’s all that matters. 2020 is, so far, matching up to be an equally challenging year starting off basically the same way, but I think it’s one we can all last through, even with everything going on. There is a lot more personal stuff to come that I know will knock the wind out of me, but focusing on the positive, I wanted to join in with these goal posts! Thinking about goals is a bit challenging, because I tend to just do the things I want to do, instead of making big goals for the entire year. I guess these goals would be more for the start of 2020 to mid 2020, because who knows what the end of the year will even look like.

Without further more conversation, I will now share my goals for 2020, a year with a very cool name:

Mini Christmas Trees | Craft

[Ad- gifted product] I really love the look of little Christmas trees, and making them out of twine makes a sort of rustic, lovely looking tree that looks great on a fireplace, on your TV stand or wherever else you want to add some festive cheer. These little trees were super easy to make and quite fun to work on. They don’t need a whole lot of materials so you can totally work on them last minute as a centre piece.

Materials:

Butternut Squash Soup | Recipe

[Ad- gifted product] Butternut squash is a lovely, seasonal ingredient that can be made into hardy, warming soups. My favorite thing to make in the winter time are soups, as you can bulk cook them, store them in the freezer, and they really do warm up the people that eat them! Butternut squash soup is pretty easy to make, though I have added a few of my own twists.
