Barry’s Cactus Club Plant Subscription | Review

After trying out Lazy Flora’s plant subscription, I wanted to explore other plant-based subscription boxes! Barry’s Cactus Club was so new that it was only taking pre-orders and I wanted to get on board for the first few months. We are now three month’s in, so I figured I would write up how this club has been so far. It’s a very new service, much like Lazy Flora was when I tried it out, so there might be more changes in the future. Each month, you are meant to get one cactus, one card which tells you about the cactus, a tiny pot and then some bonus items!

Month One, Zebra Plant

The New Selfie Bag from Cotton Bag Co | Review

[Ad- gifted product] After reviewing the previous Selfie Bag from Cotton Bag Co, I was really excited to see they were doing a new and improved version! I do take a lot of selfies, which you can always find on Twitter or Instagram.  Like most of the people from my generation, I love taking pictures of myself and sharing my thoughts and feelings with the world. The new Selfie Bag is basically a tool kit to take the best selfies while on the go and at events – which is the best place to take pictures, really, as it shows a bunch of different places and stories about your life. Let’s get into the bag;

The Bag Itself

Planet Eat – Netflix for Food Videos | Review

[Ad- gifted product] We have subscriptions to most online, video watching platforms. I watch Netflix, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Amazon Huey – so switching between these different platforms is something we’ve always done. When I heard about Planet Eat, a new food TV subscription platform, I was excited to try their free month of viewing! I watch a lot of food programs and miss Food Network – a TV channel in America, so I was hoping this would replace my craving for some amazing food TV.

Planet Eat actually has a lot of shows already, despite being quite new to the market, however most of these shows are only 10 to 15 minutes long, making them into mini-videos. Many of them are recipes, tutorials and master classes, which can really help if you don’t like reading recipes or want to learn new skills when it comes to being in the kitchen. Each episode also has a trailer video you can watch to get a better feel of the show. I found myself getting the most out of master classes and really enjoyed the detailed programs on taking pictures and telling a story through food, but I felt the videos could be bulked out with the presenter actually taking pictures and showing them to us, instead of talking so much about equipment or just showing images taken earlier, instead of the entire process of setting them up.

Partituki Children’s Games and Coloring Activity Pack | Review

[Ad- gifted products] Partituki is a company that specialists in children’s activity packs and party packs, making them perfect when it comes to getting gift bags for parties or getting activity packs for children to play with, to keep them busy, at parties or just at home. There are lots of different themes to the activities packs they have to offer, as well as many different packs, meaning you can just purchase bunting and crayons to build your own gift bags or you can purchase these pre-made kits full of a variety of fun activities!

We got the Partituki Children’s Game and Coloring Activity Pack, which contained one drawstring, sea-life themed backpack that can be coloured in, one sea-life themed pencil case that can be coloured in, a set of crayons, a set of coloured pencils, a jump rope, a yo-yo, a fidget spinner and a wooden block tabletop game. That’s a big variety, which is the best thing about these packs – there is always something for everyone within each bag.

28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen Fondue Festival | Review

Both Dann and Jupiter went to a Fondue Festival at the 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, who do yearly Fondue Festivals in London. These take place each Tuesday through February, March and April. We’re not sure if Festival makes a lot of sense in this use, as it’s not really a Festival and more of a sit down dinner but only there for a limited amount of time. Dann really wanted to go, so we both grabbed up some tickets and figured we’d see what happens. Neither of us had been to 28-50 Wine Bar & Kitchen, nor had we had Fondue before, so it was an interesting time.

The first thing worth noting is that you are going to need to go to the Fondue Festival with a friend, as it’s a minimum of two people per fondue. The price is set at £34.95 per person, stacking as you add more people to it. The festival tickets include a set menu – we weren’t even shown a normal menu – which you get to eat from. The venue itself is very upscale, we were quite under dressed, and is a dark and moody place.
