You know when you are just craving ramen, and you just want to eat some right then and there. Normally, when Dann and I go to Wagamamas, we order a bunch of little bites and split them, as you might notice from most of the places we go, but this time we wanted to get some tasty, tasty ramen! We both got a couple of small items, different ramens and a dessert. Wagamamas is an interesting restaurant, as everything just comes when it’s ready, but the food is always lovely.
Pancake is not an outdoor cat and instead lives inside our house. He is a coward, afraid of the outside world, so he doesn’t really walk into the backyard and if the door is open, he’d much rather stay inside and look out. With that said, out front, he does walk out onto the path to our door and meows at the birds or eats at the grass out there, before running inside if he can’t see a human. Pancake doesn’t love being outside, but sometimes does spend 2 or 3 minutes, supervised, before coming back in. As he seemed to mainly want to eat grass, we figured we’d grow some cat grass for him!
[Ad- Gifted Product] It’s wintertime, there is a chill in the air, so you probably have considered picking up some gloves for your little one’s hands. Gloves come in so many different designs, with so many different colors! As we continued to think about the types of gloves we wanted to have this year, a really cool type of glove came up. LED Light Up Gloves provide not only a warm glove to keep your hands from getting frosty, but also act as a toy for children who want to play around in the dark.
[Ad- gifted product] As any regular readers will know, we’re happy to dip into a science-themed subscription box here. We’ve, most recently, just wrapped up the KiwiCo Tinker Crate, and so it makes perfect sense that we turn our gaze toward MEL Science, specifically their MEL Physics range; a kit aimed at a slightly older audience and specifically focused on decrypting scientific jargon into an accessible educational package. The first month we grabbed was based around Luminescence, and it was a fantastic example of MEL Physics’ boxes at their purest.
We ran into the MEL Science team earlier on in the year, while at an event. I was drawn to the stand by how professional each of the boxes on display looked. They had a simple, clear design, with one or two objects on the front, but a simple title down the spine. Each box was a single stark colour, giving them the look of classic school textbooks. The staff manning the stand gave us some simple demonstrations of accessible science but also introduced us to the App and the VR/AR elements that go hand in hand with their subscription.
[Ad- gifted product] Often, I dive in and out of charity shops to find some second hand items that I need for my home. Clothing, home wear, furniture – all of that purchased second hand not only saves me money, but is much better for the world. Ensuring that items are used to the fullest is something that we always try to do in our household, and second hand clothing is something that is just so easy to do. When the pandemic hit the UK, I missed charity shops loads.
