Blue Coffee Box Subscription | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We’ve been trying out the Blue Coffee Box monthly subscription, a box which includes two large bags of ethically sourced, gourmet coffee as well as lots of well-thought-out extra information included.

I know a lot of people who are very particular about their coffee, be that how it’s made, where it’s from, what it’s served with or, of course, what it tastes like. I’d never really lump myself into the category of being a coffee enthusiast, but I do drink a lot of the stuff and we have recently acquired Vietnamese Coffee Makers/Phin Vietnamese Filter following a great experience out at a pho restaurant. I’ve tried a lot of coffee over the years, be that from vending machines, instant or coffee grounds, and had a decent variety of it too. With that in mind, I was very interested in what kind of flavours we could expect from a box like this.

Wicked Kitchen Orange Pumpkin Pesto | Review

I love trying new pumpkin items when it comes to Autumn! When I saw Wicked Kitchen had an Orange Pumpkin Pesto, I wanted to try out some of it and see how it went! To make things double spooky, I grabbed some spinach linguine to cook up with it. We do eat a lot of pesto in our home, mainly classic, green (made with basil and spinach), pesto on top of pasta. Having a jarred pesto can be a bit hit and miss, so we had our fingers crossed.

Pilipalahandmade Halloween Wax Melt | Review

Along with the massive amount of candles that we have purchased for Halloween, we picked up a Halloween wax melts box from the Etsy seller Pilipalahandmade. At the price of £8, this box of wax melts feels like a bargain! There are a bunch of different scents and shapes that really seemed perfect for Halloween, so let’s get right into these sents!

Pumpkin Spice Wax Melt

I got two pumpkin spice wax melts in my box, both looking like cute, orange pumpkins! There is a slight citrus undertone, bringing a fruity note to this wax melt, but the spices are there, bringing the pumpkin and classic Autumn feel to this box of melts.

Mango Body Butter from The Mango Girl | Review

[Ad- gifted product] I am a big fan of body butters! During the autumn months, my skin does get quite dry, especially as the weather changes. That’s the best time to use body butters, as they are far more nourishing and rejuvenating when it comes to dry skin. As it gets colder outside, I am always looking for lovely smelling body butters to add into my skincare routine! I got to try the Mango Body Butter from The Mango Girl – and I am quite impressed!

Christopher Pumpkin – Children’s Story Book | Review

Even children’s bedtime stories get a Halloween twist when October comes! We picked up Christopher Pumpkin, a cute looking children’s story book about a young pumpkin who doesn’t quite fit in, to read before bed this month. We have a few other books, including Winnie the Witch, which fits into the Halloween spirit, but I couldn’t resist a pumpkin trying to throw a party. As this book was a new addition to one of our local stores, I wanted to pick it up while I saw it and before the Christmas decorations filled the shelves.
