Dinner out at The Cock Helsinki

[Ad- gifted experience] While in Helsinki for a work event, we went out to a celebratory dinner to celebrate the end of a fantastic event and a promotion I got within the company! Picking something that sounded and felt like it could be British, we ended up at The Cock. This restaurant is very welcome to people just visiting the area and serves a fun menu with a lot of familiar and classic food. Dann and I both got different starters and mains, for once, off of a set menu that the entire team ordered from. The venue felt cozy, like an upscale pub, and the staff were fantastic.

Cat Days and Woof Days – Cute Card Games

[Ad- gifted products] Another Monday has passed, and we did our normal thing of playing a new card game down at our local Geek Retreat! Armed with some milkshakes, Amelia and I played Cat Days while Dann and Robin played Woof Days. These are a two player card games that are quite easy to learn and simple to play again and again! Both of the games are created by Farplace, an animal rescue, with the money raised from these cards going towards the care of various rescue animals. They also have a board game we previously reviewed.

Playing with cats at Katzentempel

Dann and I go to Germany each and every year, specifically to Cologne, for Gamescom as apart of our day jobs. We’ve basically done everything we could possibly go or so we thought! This year, Dann surprised me by finding a new place; Katzentempel Koln, which is a vegan cat cafe, right in Cologne. I absolutely love cat cafes and have been to a few in London. You do not need to pre-book, so we went along in the afternoon during one of the days we were there.

Unicorn Scarf – Perfect for Cold Evenings

[Ad- gifted products] Robin is a lover of accessories. If something is cute, functional and fun, she likely wants it! When she saw the Unicorn Scarf from Wicked Uncle, she was all over it. We go out to Christmas All Wrapped Up each year, and Robin really wanted to do a little photoshoot there while picking out our Christmas tree. As it gets colder, having a scarf is such a fun idea, especially if the scarf is sort of like a plushie that you get to wear on your neck.
