[Ad- gifted product] Peach&Beet have a variety of different prints, mostly based around phrases, words or numbers to decorate your house with. This simplistic designs offer a sleek look with a pop of colour or personality to any room in your house. From phrases about falling in love, having a good time or just designs of the all-seeing eye, if you are looking for some new art to hang in your house, they’ve got plenty of options.

I went for the There are Two Sides to Every Story print, which I feel is a really clever idea. Some of the words are backwards, showcasing the two sides visually before you read them. I feel this is so clever, having both the phrase and then a visual representation of exactly what it is saying. I’ve always been one to say there are two sides to every story – three if you consider each person’s point of view and then reality, so having a print that showcased this fit well for the aesthetic I am going for. After purchasing a gold frame, as most of the ones in the Peach&Beet shop seem to be featured in gold or simplistic, thin black frames, I figured it looked perfect. The print is of good quality, printed on card stock.

[Ad- gifted product] Previously, we took a look at Nim’s Vegetable Crisps, which is exactly that: just vegetables dried and packed so that you can enjoy a crispy, healthy and simple snack. Much like their crisps, Nim’s have a range of Edible Teas in both vegetable and fruit flavors. We got our hands on some of Nim’s Edible Pineapple and Kiwi Tea to try out in the new year. As January is known to be a month full of healthy eating and changes in diet as people attempt to have a healthier year, it felt like a perfect fit. We both drink tea from time to time, but neither of us were particularly cutting caffeine out of our diets, which is something this flavoured tea could really help with.

Nim’s Edible Pineapple and Kiwi Tea doesn’t actually contain tea leaves, instead, it is just dried pineapple, kiwi and apple slices. These dehydrated fruits are pre-packed in recyclable plastic, so you can put the tea itself directly in your mug of hot water and let it sit to become flavoured. Working much like a warm version of flavoured fruit water at first, over the course of about 5 minutes, the tea starts to really taste like fruit flavoured tea. The smell of Nim’s tea is also quite delicious, as you can almost instantly start to smell the fruit inside the cup.

[Ad- gifted product] Dann is a huge fan of maps. He’s got loads of them scattered about, although some have gotten a bit warn over the years. The biggest map we have, featured in the living room, is a map of the world that gets scratched off whenever we end up in a new country or state, with the hopes of it eventually being a full, colourful map. With his love of maps in mind, when The Book of Everyone reached out with a personalised map, I jumped on the opportunity.

After talking over loads of locations for The Map of Everyone, we settled on Loughton – a town quite near to us that we tend to visit regularly. Loughton train station is the one we take into London every time we want to go into the town, and it is the train station that Dann use to meet me at for tabletop nights. There is a restaurant called Wing Shack in Loughton, which is my favourite wings place and Dann’s overall favourite place to eat. Often we have little nights out at the pub in Loughton or just spent walking around the town, to see the shops and go shopping. It’s just a cute town that we always seem to end up at when we have few spare hours to hang out and don’t want to be at home. At one point, we started joking about how the town was basically ours.
