This floral frame has "follow your dream's" written within the space until you can find a photo to place inside. Thank you again Sass & Belle. 

- Hummingbird keyring & pencil

This keyring reminds me of the Sass & Belle style and i adore it. So well made on a rose golden tinted metal, with a vibrant colourful floral print within to compliment. It's a beautiful and unique item that il be showing with pride. 

Pencil : Now everyone need's a pencil and notepad within there bag, place you write ideas's or information. Handy and very cute stationary addition for this month.

When i saw this kit i thought it again was a beautifully colourful addition to make for an event or just add some unique room decor.

Perfect for my planner and notebook's to keep important documents attached but also reusable. There are 3 clips included and these are made by Sass & Belle. They will add a new and fun dimension to my planner.

- Candy striped baggy full of sweet's

The candy stiped bag in each month of ihearthomes contain's a surprise. This month it contained some fruity milk bottle sweet's. They were lovely and a perfect little snack to have whilst looking at the content's if the box. 

- Friendship saying

This saying plaque is beautiful and it would be the perfect gift to your closest friend whom you may not see regularly. The presentation is stunning and really does make this a unique gift. 

- Inspirational card

These card's i find are the perfect inserts for parcel's, I tend to write a note on the back for the reciever to read. I have kept some that i do like to interchange within a frame on my dresser. It help's give inspiration and happiness depending on your need for that week. 

- Aromatherapy soap cube 

This little soap cube is jelly in texture but smell's of a floral & fruity mix. It is a really beautiful scent and my skin from just unwrapping the paper feels so soft. The oils are definatly present and im going to be using this soap today. Below is a little information about the company. 

"Om Shanti Aromatherapy products offer handmade artisan bath bombs, bath salts, soaps and candles. This company has been born out of a love for aromatherapy and holistic wellbeing. Our aromatherapy products use 100% pure essential oils. Essential oils are obtained by extracted the pure oil from the plant. These oils can help to alter mood, and evidence suggests that they help with psychological and physical wellbeing."

In conclusion : This box was beautifully presented this month and amazingly well constructed. Most of these item's i have planned to gift to some of my closest friend's in thanks for there continued love and support through probably one of my most difficult year's. 

Too end is my mantra for the year and ultimate goal for improving positivity.

- Beauty bag : (Garnier cream, REN cleanser, My little beauty "lipbalm") 

- 2016 Diary 

- Bracelet cards

Wish Magazine - Finally we have our beloved bound magazine back, hopefully it's here to stay. I loved this style of magazine layout, I was not a fan of the fold out paper version. (This format's so popular, I really hope it stays for good.)

Inspiration card - "All your dream's can come true, If you have the courage to persue them" by Walt disney. This is the perfect quote to start the new year with and only make's new year resolutions stronger. 

Beauty bag :

- REN : 3 in 1 Cleanser

A detergent free ‘beauty water’ that will remove everyday make up. Perfect for those with ultra-sensitive skin, the flower water acts as a cleansing agent to remove impurities and make up while toning the skin—suitable for even the most delicate eye area. Skin feels purified, fresh, revived, and toned without tightness or dryness.

- My little beauty "Lipbalm" : Amazingly nice and moisturising lipbalm. I always love my little beauty product's. 

- Garnier Miracle wake up cream : Ive always been impressed with Garnier creams, so im excited to see how this performs over the month.

2016 Diary - This diary is unbelievable in quality. Hardbacked book with inspirational weekly words, quoting and reminder's. The corner's are removable so locating the week is made easier and each month is colour coded. This diary has blown me away with the quality, its just one of the reason's why "My little box" is so unique. 

Inspiring bracelet's - These bracelet card's can be pulled apart, then given to close family & friend's. There is one included for yourself as a reminder for you new year resolution. They are really cute and i cant wait to hand them out.

This months box is really fantastic and the quality is beyond what i expected. The diary alone is hardback and an item i can see myself using for the year. Just as much as i cant wait to hand out the card's within gifts or to friends whom need perking up. The beauty item's were high quality with REN and Garnier, however i would have loved to see more makeup as we have been swamped in cream's the past couple of month's. 

Birchbox - January 2014

Birchbox Website

So Christmas is over and a new year begins. So with a new year comes New Years resolutions, plus detoxing from the over indulgence. So with lemons on the box, a favourite for detoxing lemon water this box is titled " Tiny tweaks". 

So the contents of the Box ; 

- Tommyguns : Fig, plum and marshamallow conditioner ( Rrp £5.50) 

- Benefit : Porefessional ( £24.50 Rrp)

- Noble Isle : Willow song bath & shower gel ( £20.00 Rrp) 

- Vasanti : Detox facial cleanser (£18.00 Rrp) 

- Premae : Nutrient body Oil ( £9.50 Rrp)

Extra : Miso Soup (£2.25 for 3 sachets) 

Now I won't lie I was disappointed with not having a Rodial sample to trial. My online surveys had said I was to receive the Rodial SPF, but then upon dispatch this had been changed with the Nobel Isle shower gel. So not impressed that I had my sample removed and changed. I've tried Noble isle before and honestly it's not something that amazed me. 

Benefit porefessional is a cult classic and honestly it's a great sample to have for travel. I like that benefit has joined birchbox and I'm hoping more brands take suit. I would love more Benefit samples for future boxes. Sadly no makeup to trial with the sample.

Vasanti Detox cleanser is a new brand to me and I will be interested to see how this works for my skin. As it says it will remove all traces of makeup. I use a clarisonic and I do have the odd trace left. So will be interesting to see if this does remove everything. 

Tommyguns Conditioner sounds amazingly yummy. I was glad I recieved this instead of the phillip Kingsley sample.  I love these scents and it's a massive sample being 250mls, so I'm interested to see how this conditions my hair. Being £5.50 it's expensive for conditioner but lovely for a treat.

Noble Isle Shower gel like I said is a sample I have tried before, so I'm really not too excited by this. I didn't really like the scent and passed this on when i recieved this before. I think it will have the same fate. I'm gutted this was not the Rodial as promised. 

Miso Soup (Extra) is something I can't use as I'm on a diet controlled plan for my health. I know miso is supposed to be great for diets but it's not something I can add to mine. I will happily pass this on to my vegan family member whom loves soup and light foods. Nothing going to waste. 

Premae Nourishing Oil sounds amazing and so great for my dry skin at the moment. I do love oils and as long as there is no hint of rose, then I'm sure it will be fantastic. I really love hair oils as they add something exotic and luxiourious to your routine. I'm glad of the  spritz bottle as I think it will disperse easier. 

So overall it's a lovely box and has some amazing samples. However I think everyone should have had the opportunity for a high end Rodial sample. There was 3 options and I was to receive the SPF sample, which I was so thrilled with. However the next day on dispatch, this had changed so i was very disappointed. It's not something I can get a chance to try, as I'm not able to go to a store to pick one up. So this was my only complaint with Birchbox this month.
