6 Ways to Up Your Hot Chocolate

Posted on December 13, 2020November 14, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- gifted product] When Tru Bamboo introduced us to the Tru Bamboo Tumbler, we were excited to see how it could upgrade our hot chocolate. This tumbler has a separate tea strainer, which you can fill with tea leaves, and screw shut, placing it into the tumbler where it fits tightly into the top portion of the bottle. From there, you could fill the tumbler up with hot water to have your tea brew. Now, in the wintertime, I am all for hot chocolate – not so much tea – so we used this cool tea strainer bit to infuse the hot chocolate in the tumbler with our own flavors!

Silverware for Modern Living

Posted on November 10, 2020November 10, 2020 by Contributor

More and more, modern living is turning towards minimalism. People have been influenced by things like Marie Kondo’s hugely successful book and series focussed on tidying up, removing what is no longer needed and keeping on that which sparks joy. Some people have resisted this movement, becoming more ‘maximalist’ than ever, but many appear to have embraced the ethos that less truly is more.

With this mindset, we’re going to look at silverware – something which is typically regarded as being out-dated – and explore how it can be utilised in the modern world.

Candlesticks

Candles are one thing that definitely hasn’t suffered from the movement towards minimalism. There never seems to be enough candles, in fact. Which makes it reasonable that candlesticks have a long life ahead of them yet. Silver candlesticks are a versatile form of silverware, as they match most styles and colours. Although some people may think that candlesticks are large and intrusive, there is in fact an enormous range of styles and sizes to choose from when it comes to candlesticks. If you like a romantic dinner or a luscious bath time, don’t rule candlesticks out of your life.

How to protect your flooring from your Christmas Tree

Posted on November 5, 2020August 27, 2024 by Contributor

Christmas is on it’s way in, Christmas trees can be picked up and brought home now – adding a new and festive decoration to your house. Christmas trees are normally quite a large decoration, one that takes up a lot of floor space and room space in your home. We tend to clear quite an area away from our livingroom, making sure the tree can be seen front and center! As these trees are quite large and can cause a bit of damage to flooring, I’ve compiled some of the best tips to keep your floor looking good after the decorations are gone.

At the start of the month, both of us decided to do Blogtober. This was a big challenge, and to make things a bit different, we were only counting Halloween or Autumn-themed posts. This resulted in some days having more than one post, but we now have a lot of cool seasonal content that will be fun to update and share next year! With today being the last day, we wanted to take the time to celebrate some of the posts we both really loved this month.

What It’s Like Dating Gamer Geeks

Posted on October 19, 2020August 27, 2024 by Jupiter

[Ad- collab] If you have glanced at my social media, you will find that I am actually a games journalist and community manager working in video games. My partner, Dann, is actually an editor at the world’s largest mobile gaming site. Saying we are gamer geeks is sort of an understatement – we have been in games so long that it’s just apart of our personality. Gaming is actually a big part of most people’s lives, from young children playing games to adults getting together to play online multiplayers or playing single player games on their own.

When I was younger, playing games was something uncool. Now, it seems that everyone is describing themselves as gamers or talking about the newest game they have purchased. With the continuing rise in households with consoles and the availability of games – especially free games – increasing, the number of people who are finding gaming is their main hobby is following suit. Gaming is a way to bring yourself out of this world and enjoy a world worth playing in. Often, dating gamers comes with memes that are quite… incorrect – both from the “gamers dates gamer boys” and the “gamers dates gamer girls” point of view. So I figured I’d share my point of view when it comes to geek dating.
