Water Art Magic Sticker Creation Kit – Scientific Fun

[Ad- gifted product] We often find ourselves, especially in the summer, playing with toys! It seems that many households default to video games, which we also play a lot of, but having a few engaging toys to break up the day and have screen free fun is always a must. Amelia and Robin have seen Water Art before – we actually included the Brainstorm Water Art kit in our Christmas Gift Guide for kids last year, so when we saw that they now have a Water Art Magic Sticker Creation kit, we were well interested!

Trying the Little Big Flavour Kits Sweet Potato Curry

[Ad- gifted product] We have been trying quite a few of these Little Big Flavour Kits, as they make for such a simple, quick mid-week meal. (And you can use code JUPITER15 on their website for 15% off!) Our latest kit was the Little Big Flavour Kits Sweet Potato Curry, which is actually a curry we have had before, as we all very much enjoy sweet potato. This curry, much like all of their kits, only needs a few ingredients to create; sweet potatoes, an onion, spinach, some oil, and some garlic. Everything else is completely provided.

Eating Classic Burgers at Buns Bros

When walking around Southend, we are always looking for a food place that catches our eyes. The outside of Buns Bros, before it opens, is actually a PokeStop in Pokemon Go, as the artwork is so fantastic. This, eventually, led us to eating there one afternoon when we wanted a lunch. Buns Bros is a sort of hole-in-the-wall place, like many of the small units along this side of Southend, that has a few tables outside and a few inside, along with a small window to order food at.

Foil Fun Up in Space Set – Great Screen-free Activity

[Ad- gifted product] Having a few screen-free activities in your bag, especially during the summer holidays, is always a must! When we go on holiday, we always pack a few things for Robin to do in the morning, before her teenage siblings get up, as she doesn’t have a working phone and has limited screentime on WIFI. One thing she really seemed to enjoy was the Foil Fun Up in Space Kit, which is sort of like a sticker arts and crafts kit, giving a lot of different foils, stickers and even backgrounds all with a space theme. They do have tons of different kits from Disney to Animals to Unicorns, so there is a good variety to choose from.

Stellar Restaurant Ephemera – A Space Food Experience

While in Paris for Go Fest Global, a Pokemon Go event, our friends Molly and Husky recommended a restaurant that they felt Dann and I would really love; Stellar Restaurant – Ephemera. Ephemera have a bunch of different, themed restaurant experiences, and Stellar is their space-themed place to eat. As we love experiences and we love trying new food, this felt like such a great recommendation and I am so glad we went along! You do need to book ahead, online, and when you show up you get to walk through a bunch of well-decorated areas to get to your seat. The walls themselves have space-themed atmospheres being projected, and there is a mystical, calm music playing. The ceiling is covered in planet decorations and mood lighting. It’s got some great vibes! But, let’s get into the food.
