A Day Out at the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe & Boutique

I kept seeing the Artbox Cafe on Instagram – a cafe that serves different desserts, with a different character featured at the cafe for a limited amount of time. When it comes to holidays, the cafe also changes, having special Halloween items and Winter themed desserts. The cafe is split into two floors, the bottom floor is where you can get takeaway ice creams or drinks, as well as purchase a bunch of cute, themed items. As the theme was Pusheen, the items in the bottom floor was all Pusheen; notebooks, books, mugs, jewellery, sushi sets, tumblers, squishes – something for everyone. Upstairs, you can find a small, sit down dining experience where you can order from a slightly larger menu. Dann, Claire (who wrote her own post on this) and I went to the Pusheen x Artbox Cafe in the last week that Pusheen was there!

Is long distance dating worth it?

As it’s nearly Valentines Day, everyone who isn’t currently in a relationship might be finding it particularly noticeable that they are single. More people try going on dates, others embrace being single, and some just look for companionship. When it comes to dating, there are lots of options, especially with the whole of the internet connecting the world the way it has in the last few years. Connecting people to others is a very good thing, but it can often lead to the difficulties of long distance relationships.

I’ve been in a long distance relationship before, attempting to date someone from across the ocean, in a different country. It’s a pretty hard task. There are time zone differences, you can’t ever really meet up, and there is a lot of someones life that they might not just put on the internet. This lead me to more local dating – dating someone I can physically see and hang out with because long distance dating just isn’t worth it for me. And I’d like to tell you why.

Dates are fun

5 Cool Toys from the Toy Fair 2020

At the end of last month, I went along to the Toy Fair 2020 – I go each year, mainly to check out board games for Big Boss Battle, a site I am one of the owners of. As we’ve been reviewing toys on this blog, I figured I’d spend more time looking at the Toy aspect of the Toy Fair. Sadly, on the day we were meant to go to the Toy Fair, our car’s catalytic converter was stolen while parked in a parking lot – what a wild ride. Because of this, I ended up only having part of one day to explore the Toy Fair, but I booked a few appointments and checked out a bunch of different toys. I wanted to share with you what I found to be the coolest toys of the fair!

Pickle my Funny Bone Burger (The Bob’s Burgers Burger Book) | Recipe

Bob’s Burgers is a TV series about a struggling restaurant owner named Bob. Bob’s family consists of his wife Linda and his three children. They get into all sorts of trouble and have quite a few different, wacky adventures. It’s an adult TV show that follows a very average man in a super funny family. Oh, and his restaurant is a burger joint. Jupiter has seen Bob’s Burgers and quite enjoyed the show, while Dann had not seen it before. On the menu of Bob’s Burgers, there is always a burger of the day. Often, these burgers are not actually said out loud, made, or referred to in the show, but Cole Bowden has taken these burger ideas and made recipes for each and every one of them. Loren Bouchard helped create the book as well.

The beginning of this cookbook explains the method behind making the perfect french fries and burger, so that you have some ground work to the recipes ahead. This isn’t the majority of the book, which is mainly recipes and drawings from the show, however it is enough that you’ll have a technique down before starting to make the recipes.

Sassy Shop Wax Melts | Review

[Ad- gifted product] When it comes to candles, our living rooms seems to have a mix. From the scents of peach to pumpkin apple, candles seem to be a favorite around here. I even got a candle advent calendar this year for Christmas, to try out all the different scents. When Sassy Shop Wax Melts reached out about their wax melts, I was instantly interested in getting some new scents into our living room. Wax melts actually last longer than candles, so I grabbed an electric wax melt warmer from Amazon and picked out two relaxing scents.
