Planet Eat – Netflix for Food Videos | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We have subscriptions to most online, video watching platforms. I watch Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Huey – so switching between these different platforms is something we’ve always done. When I heard about Planet Eat, a new food TV subscription platform, I was excited to try their free month of viewing! I watch a lot of food programs and miss Food Network – a TV channel in America, so I was hoping this would replace my craving for some amazing food TV.

Planet Eat actually has a lot of shows already, despite being quite new to the market, however most of these shows are only 10 to 15 minutes long, making them into mini-videos. Many of them are recipes, tutorials and master classes, which can really help if you don’t like reading recipes or want to learn new skills when it comes to being in the kitchen. Each episode also has a trailer video you can watch to get a better feel of the show. I found myself getting the most out of master classes and really enjoyed the detailed programs on taking pictures and telling a story through food, but I felt the videos could be bulked out with the presenter actually taking pictures and showing them to us, instead of talking so much about equipment or just showing images taken earlier, instead of the entire process of setting them up.

Throwing the Best Party with Moonpig

[Ad- gifted experience] Moonpig ran a virtual event earlier this month that was all around throwing the best birthday party possible – a skill that everyone should need to have at one point in their lives, at least. This event showcased Moonpig’s mobile app for ordering gifts, cards, balloons, and flowers as well as making the best cocktails and flower arranging the flowers we then got. This masterclass of three different aspects of throwing a party made for a fun and interesting virtual event that showcased a lot!

Pretty Suds July 2020 Bath Bomb Box | Review

Our household loves bath bombs and this mystery box of bath goodies comes each month. All of the bath bombs are really great quality with some amazing color payoff – and they are handmade in Yorkshire, England, which is always a plus. Let’s dive into this month’s collection!

Mermaid Lessons with South Coast Mermaids

[Ad- gifted experience] I love the water! When I was a child, I would spend every moment I could in my nanny’s pool, swimming until the sun went down. This year, if you’ve been checking out my Instagram, you’ll know I’ve been at the beach nearly every week. I am basically a mermaid stuck in a human body, with silly legs that stop me from having fins. When I found out that South Coast Mermaids, which has mermaid lessons – interesting things to do in Sussex – I was very excited to go! South Coast Mermaids do adult and children swimming lessons, as well as parties. This lesson is post COVID, so we were social distancing mermaids, something that our instructor, Anna, kept in mind during the entire lesson. I attended one at the Lido Arundel, which is a lovely setting with a castle peaking over the treeline!

A Day Out at Hitchin Lavender Field

Now that the weather is great and the flowers are blooming, we took a trip to the Hitchin Lavender Field! Neither of us have ever been to a lavender field before, but we wanted to walk in the sea of purple fields and hang out together. It seemed like a great day to spend a lazy afternoon, so we headed off to explore and enjoy the nice sunny weather! We did book ahead, making sure we had tickets and could go on in, and then appeared for our time slot.
