[Ad- gifted product] We eat a lot of charcuterie boards. Often, in the evenings, after the sun has set, we’ll have a glass of something nice and create a little charcuterie board to eat while watching a movie or hanging out on the couch. Charcuterie boards are big boards of meat, cheese, olives and more, which can be eaten as a snack or light meal, depending on what you stack on top of yours. These boards can be as simple as throwing some cheese and nibbles onto a board or as fancy as adding a bunch of different categories of foods, pates, crackers, etc to really load up your board. We are going to talk about creating an epic board, one that would be an eye catcher at gathering or super enjoyable if you want to feel fancy and enjoy a snack.

Working from Home Desk Makeover
[Ad- gifted product] Before the COVID-19 Virus struck the world, I was actually trying to get my desk setup upgraded. If you follow me on Twitter, you probably know that I work from home normally, so my desk set up is my work set up. With many of the UK’s population setting up to work from home for a while, I’m seeing lots of desk redecoration and lots of people picking places for their work space. I am about half way through my desk set up and will be posting again when I am finally finished. At the moment, I have purchased loads of items slowly since January and have set them up this week, however I still have quite a few items to pick out and to be delivered.

Happy Confident Me Journal | Review
[Ad- gifted product] In the last few weeks the world has sort of taken a weird turn. With schools shutting down and people in a panic, this journal has come at a very good time. The Happy Confident Company has released journals aimed at children to promote mindfulness and help with essential life skills. Specifically, we got the Happy Confident Me Journal. This beautiful journal is chock full of different questions and pages, meant to be used daily to keep things interesting and engaging.
The Happy Confident Me Journal has a little bee friend that walks children through the purpose of the journal and helps guide them through various pages and feelings. The first few pages are dedicated to listing different feelings and understanding why the book is helpful and a guide to how each page works, as well as some drawing pages for children to go wild on.
How to make a Minecraft Ghast Pinata | DIY
[Ad- gifted product] The year is 2020, I have worked from home for my entire adult life. Working from home means I don’t tend to just nip to the shop on the way home from work, which has shaped my shopping habits. I tend to order items online as well as receive a fair bit of press packages through the post. When it comes to getting packages, I try to recycle as much as I can – putting things within the recycle bin often, but bits of packaging that I can re-purpose or add to the craft box gets put there, in hopes of having another life. Reusing packing is important to me, but so is reducing the amount of packing within these packages to begin with. There are plenty of different places to get plastic free packaging from, which is something I feel both consumers and businesses should switch too, as it is a shame to have to throw away so much harmful plastic which only had one use when it is simply not needed. That’s why I tend to make so many things out of random bits of cardboard or boxes lying around.

BETAFEM Daily Feminine Wash | Review
[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to staying clean and cleaning myself, I have always been pretty brand loyal and used a variety of different products depending on what part of my body that I am washing. Having shampoo and conditioner that reacts well with my hair is important to me, as is having separate body wash, face wash, and wash for intimate areas. The skin on your face has different needs than your hair, your intimate areas have different needs to your skin else where. Having different soaps to clean different parts of your body has always just made sense to me. BETAFEM is not a brand I had heard about previously, but when they reached out I wanted to try their feminine wash and see how it was compared to what I had already been using as the brand I had been previously using was one that I wasn’t 100% happy with, if I am honest.
