[Ad- gifted product] We play a board game every other week at our local Geek Retreat, as a way to unwind after a busy Monday back to school. This time, we tried out Brick Like This! which is all about quickly talking and building with LEGO. It’s a quick action party game that does feel like a lot of fun, though it can be tricky for younger ones, so you might want to consider playing with your teens and tweens!

[Ad- gifted product] My Little Miracle has a fantastic range in bath and body products for little ones, and they’ve recently released a Bedtime range, that includes a body lotion, body oil and bubble bath. Though we do not have a toddler in our house anymore, we figured it would be fine to have a look at some of the products with Robin, who still very much enjoys bath time and could always use a new tool to help her wind down on a weekend.
All of this range has lavender and chamomile scents, though they are very light and clean smelling. It’s aim is to sooth and make bedtime easier, through calming scents and feelings. I found all of these new products to have gentle scents and be fantastic on the skin, which is exactly what you want in these types of products. They are also all dermatologically tested and My Little Miracle is an award-winning brand.

We have been known to like an arcade, especially Dann who has actually been ranked in pinball, so after our friend Quang’s birthday party, when he invited a bunch of us to NQ64, we were down to go. Dann and I had not been here before, so we were interested in seeing what they had to offer when it came to arcade machines. The whole exterior looks like a night club, with lots of neon colors, and the inside matches that.
[Ad- gifted product] At the start of the year, people are always trying to start new habits and take better care of themselves. The start of a new year can inspire people to want to better themselves, as it’s like a little reset or milestone they’ve passed. One thing that easily can better your health is making sure you are taking care of your bones, joints, and skin through supplements like collagen. There are a few different brands of collagen around, though Dann and I have tried Elavate, which have a few different options to tailor to your tastes. I like the fact that they have unflavoured – which makes it easy to add a dose into your food without tasting anything. They also have chocolate and vanilla, which are two good flavours for baked goods as they do have a flavour to them. This brand of collagen is very fine, so we haven’t found any grainy tastes or feeling with the food we have added it to.
I do find sticking to a new habit to be a challenge, as does anyone I think. Elavate send a welcome box, which has a storage container for your supplement, an electric whisk, the collagen of course, and even a calendar that allows you to check off each day that you take your supplement, encouraging you to build up that habit. This is magnetic, which means it can be placed on your fridge, right where you see it! Obviously, it’s pretty easy to add Elavate Collagen to your coffee and tea, and their website have a few baked goods, but here’s what I have been adding it to!

When looking for fun places to eat in Amsterdam, our tour guide on a canal tour recommended two places, one of which being GAJA Korean BBQ. At the time, we did not know it was an all you can eat BBQ joint, but were very excited to discover this! You can either order off the standard menu or you can choose the all you can eat option, which does only allow one dessert per person and doesn’t include drinks. That’s what we ended up going with. There is a two hour eating limit and everything is ordered through scanning a QR code, where you can also allow others from your table to join the order, and you can see who orders what. If you aren’t familiar with Korean BBQ, you are able to cook everything in front of yourselves.
