My little Box ; Home February edition

This months box arrived and a little early which is a nice surprise. Being inspired by the home and spring coming, which can mean change and new beginning's. I know within our home we always look to make changes, be it to brighten and improve our surroundings. 

They say : My Little Box is a hand-picked and beautifully designed box of fashion, beauty and lifestyle surprises. With accessories, products and other goodies created exclusively for you and based around a different theme every month, each box promises to delight the lucky recipient.

Box content's

- Beauty bag :

- Cushion cover

- Photo frame & Artwork :

- Home magazine

- Cushion cover

This cushion cover is a lovely spring shade of light yellow. The My little beauty chevron design will make for a nice change, however it might only suit homes with non patterned cushions. I cant say it blended in with my leaf designed one's. So i may get a plain cushion and have it for my makeup chair. 

- Home magazine

Now this is the part of my box im starting to really love again. A proper magazine to the touch, with it's  handy tips and stories. 

- Photo frame & Artwork

I was quite impressed seeing the framed inspirational card within the box. If you had wished to frame the picture then it's saved precious time. I myself love the picture and really like the frame which is sturdy and well made. 

However like the cushion i cant see a place for this framed piece to go. I may more then likely use the frame for a family picture. It seems a shame as i love the artwork. It would make an excellent house warming gift. 

Beauty bag content's : http://www.mylittlecorner.fr/beaute/my-little-beauty.html

- Mitchell & Peach : English Leaf Body Cream

Described as : An indulgent body cream, containing honey, organic cocoa and Vitamin B5, rubs in easily, without stickiness. Delicately scented with the lush, aromatic English Leaf fragrance - a classical ‘green floral’ with an English twist.

- Toxi Doxi : The Mask & Peel glow

Described as : An exfoliating scrub and face mask which reactivates and boosts cell energy. Make's skin feel perfect and leaves a glowing complexion on the outside.
The exfoliating beads to remove toxins and a deep-cleansing agent. 

- My little beauty : Easy Morning : Soin perfecteur visage

Described as : With this perfecting cream, 1 minute is all it takes to hydrate and illuminate dull and tired skin. Subtle shimmer brings a radiant,  all over glow to your complexion. Giving you a luminous and dazzling look like a winter aurora.

So all in all I would have to say im not really impressed with my box. Its not the worst and I do love the picture frame, magazine and the presentation of these item's. However the beauty bag is again full of cream. 

This month I was craving to try more makeup as with skincare, Im pretty much stocked with things to try till summer. I hope My little box improve's the beauty bag's content's, as im only subscribing for the other lifestyle items.

Now was it just me or did this month seem a little light on products? Im going to wait till next month to see if i continue with my subscription.

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.

- 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. 

Blogger passion, writer at heart

Apologies for the absence, my body works to its own drum. I've had to spend time in the hospital and the recovery was longer then anticipated. I have really wanted to write and just get to see how everyone is and what's new to read. So any new bloggers if you want to leave me links id love to see the new trends. 

So what's coming up while I rest, just playing with my looks as always ? Well I have some lovely natural Kiss lashes. This will be up soon as I really love how if your eyes are sore over pollen season, you don't was to add mascara from weepy eyes. Maybe just a light natural lashes is the way forward ? Love to hear your thoughts ladies ..... Next
