[Ad- gifted product] Candles are something I have been collecting more and more of. I quite like the look of candle light glittering and the smells that candles can bring to your home. When I found Brinley Williams Personalised Candles, I thought that was a pretty clever idea! Getting a personalized candle, to commemorate a specific event or to give a custom gift to someone is great if they do like candles like I do.

[Ad- gifted experience] Recently, I was invited along to a master class featuring Haycock’s No 9 gin, a new ‘spiced gin’ which is quite different to any other gin that I have ever had. Described as a lemon sorbet for adults, this gin has lots of lemon and sweet notes, despite not actually having any lemon in it. I am not the biggest fan of spiced spirits, but Haycock’s No 9 doesn’t actually taste like a spiced gin and instead is just smooth and lemon-y, tasting quite like a dessert.
Dann and I went along to this master class, looking to learn all about the new Haycock’s No 9 gin and taste some of the drinks that it is used in. The creator of this gin described it as not a gin but instead something different and unique, made with coriander seeds which give off a lemon flavor without having to add any lemon. He spoke about flavored syrups and mixing drinks, after we had consumed some small appraisers which were really, really yummy. My favorite was this mac n cheese that was simply delicious, but onto the cocktails.
[Ad- gifted products] My beautiful, silly, sleepy, kitten is now a full cat. I mean, we only got him a few weeks ago – but Pancake is the baby of the family now, being a pampered cat. In his passport (yes, he has a passport) it says that his birthday was September 14th! Pancake has a passport as he was born in Bulgaria, then went to Ukraine, then to the United Kingdom. You see, he is a pure bread, with a long family line of… something. I don’t really know, I feel in love with Pancake’s silly face, soppy demeanor and general lazy outlook on life. As some of our friends wanted to meet Pancake and the kids like celebrations, throwing a birthday party for a cat seemed like the sane thing to do, of course.

[Ad- gifted products] Hot coffee has never really been something I enjoyed. I always figured it was the warm aspect of it; I only tend to drink warm things in the Winter or super cold Autumn months. Whenever most people grabbed a coffee, I’d pull an energy drink out of my bag, going for something cold and refreshing. Then, I went on a iced coffee spree after getting one at random, at a coffee shop I was at for a meeting. Iced coffee is a great break from the artificial and flavored notes of energy drinks. When Arctic Iced Coffee was looking for people to try their drinks, I had to try them.
[Ad- gifted product] I have had long brown hair my entire life. My grandma was a hairdresser, so she use to trim and cut my hair as a kid. She liked long styles, so I did too. When I was a teenager, I cut my hair short and dyed it blonde, but I didn’t like it. Currently, my hair is thick and long at it’s original brown color. I haven’t ever found a hair dryer that doesn’t dry out my hair and make it frizzy. Untamed offered a new solution to this problem – one that makes a lot of sense.
You see, I do get my hair cut by professionals now that I am an adult. I go to the Open Barbers in London, one of the best barbers in the entire country, might I add. One of the first times I was there, my hairdresser asked if I wanted my hair blow dried and I said no, because it would become frizzy. They said that it probably would not if I used some essential oil on it, which they then provided and did to my hair. This oil protected my hair and didn’t make it frizz up. It was pretty neat, but felt like a process that I didn’t really want to go into just to dry my hair. Untamed has taken out that secondary step and combined both into one hair dryer.
