We love crafting – and making lanterns just seems like such a staple around Halloween. So, I decided that this year we would make some stained glass inspired Jack-O-Lantern lanterns as a decoration! The craft itself is quite easy, you can leave young children to do it on their own, and doesn’t take much supplies either! You can make whatever face you want, add stickers or other decorations, and really make this your own.
[Ad- gifted product] I am a big fan of body butters! During the autumn months, my skin does get quite dry, especially as the weather changes. That’s the best time to use body butters, as they are far more nourishing and rejuvenating when it comes to dry skin. As it gets colder outside, I am always looking for lovely smelling body butters to add into my skincare routine! I got to try the Mango Body Butter from The Mango Girl – and I am quite impressed!

Even children’s bedtime stories get a Halloween twist when October comes! We picked up Christopher Pumpkin, a cute looking children’s story book about a young pumpkin who doesn’t quite fit in, to read before bed this month. We have a few other books, including Winnie the Witch, which fits into the Halloween spirit, but I couldn’t resist a pumpkin trying to throw a party.

[Ad- gifted product] We eat a lot of noodles and Ramen-esque food in our household, so we were very excited to get our hands on Kung Fu Mama’s Spicy Noodles and Sesame & Peanut Noodles meals. These noodles come in packs of three servings, all individually sealed, with a bunch of little packs of sauces and veggies that you are meant to add to them. The cook in about 5 minutes, making for a quick and easy meal that feels much better than just an instant noodle. These noodles are available at Sainsbury’s stores now! We added some bits and bobs to make ours more to our taste. Let’s get into it!
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to gin and tonic, sometimes it’s fun to switch out your tonic for a variety of different flavored sodas! Throughtons Premium Mixers come in a wide variety of flavors, that are crafted right in Northern Ireland. The ingredients in each drink are naturally sourced, blended with County Armagh spring water, without any artificial sweeteners, flavorings or preservatives – so they are simply good mixers! We got three of their drinks to try – which are all listed in the Soft Drinks category – so they could be a drink on their own or used to make a little cocktail!
