Inspirational quote A5 print

Absolutely fabulous ring dish

Canvas sunglasses case 

Canvas zip purse 

Microfibre cleaning cloth

"Diva" Luggage tag

Glass nail file in holder

Chunky wooden freestand sign

- Canvas sunglasses case 

These canvas bags for your sunglasses (or glasses). I love the sunglasses canvas as I easily just will put them in my bag, which leaves them so open to scratches and breakage. Perfect for spring and summer approaching. 

- Canvas zip purse 

The zip purse could be used for money, makeup or smaller items you may wish protected in your bag. The quote is really something I would say and live by. Im all for the simple pleasures in life to make you happy. Decent size zip purse with adequate space for many essential item's. 

- Diva" Luggage tag

Wow vibrant and so sparkly. This luggage tag with the sunglasses is fantastic. As the box was so black,white upon opening. My eyes diverted to this straight away and the quality fantastic, being of a study material. I love the strap is a traditional one, the buckle gives it character. Vibrant and a functional item, i really love this.

- Microfibre cleaning cloth

This is something ive needed and alway's mean to purchase. My glasses i clean every morning as part of routine. So im glad i have a cloth which is a bit more attractive to bring out in public then a little blue cloth.

- Glass nail file in holder

I have a glass nail file and holder which has always been reliable, so to have a second is brilliant as I can take one in my travel bag now. 

- Chunky wooden freestand sign

The sign is a square wooden block which is very well made and a fair weight. Painted well and high quality decorative item that im proud to have on my vanity unit.

- Absolutely fabulous ring dish

Now this is beautiful addition to anyone's vanity table. It's a dish of high quality and its golden lettering with detail. It's my favourite item within the box, its given me a place to put my smaller jewellery without risk of loss. 

This month's box is full of high quality chic item's, fitting the being fabulous quote on the inspirational card. You have the canvas bags to keep any glasses you have safe within your hand/travel bag. Also the other bag to bring any keepsake or makeup you may wish to take with you. The homeware's are beautiful for your vanity, plus have uplifting message's for each morning as you awaken. I definitely love this month's edition and it just get's better as the month's pass. 

Simply - Washing powder

Simply washing powder

Part of my blog expansion is not only reviewing product's of beauty, lifestyle, writing and craft area's. I also want to include reviews of everyday item's that can influence beauty, for example washing powder if not careful can cause skin sensitivity. So I want to inform you of products im using and how they perform in relation to quality and effects on skin etc

About : Scott Base has been New Zealand’s leading Antarctic research centre since the 1950s. One of its key roles is to provide leadership in minimising the environmental impact of human activity on this precious environment. it’s testament to the cleaner, greener washing powder of Simply that ours are the only laundry detergents supplied for use to staff and scientists at Scott Base. And you can lessen your own ecological impact by following the lead of those who look after their surroundings where it matters most.

- Simply: Sensitive soft tab's

Simply Sensitive Soft-tabs have a powerful non-biological formulation which has been clinically proven to provide optimum cleaning, disinfection, sanitisation with a gentle perfume.

Simply Powder-tabs have been dermatologically and clinically tested and are approved by the Vegan Society. 

Can be bought on amazon via this link : Simply-Sensitive

- Simply : Pure soft tab's

Simply Pure Soft-tabs have a hypo-allergenic formulation that is allergen, fragrance and phosphate free. Giving you and your family an excellent non biological wash that is gentle on your skin. Simply Powder-tabs have been dermatologically and clinically tested and are approved by the Vegan Society.

Can be bought on amazon via this link : Simply Non-Bio

My thought's : Easy to use compact capsule of powder which is clean in that your hands dont have any powder residue left on them. The tablet does do a good load of washing and to a good standard. Saves on using messy measuring cups and tablets that leave the powder on your fingers, this is a pre measured amount. 

Dissolves better when you go by the recommendations of putting the tablet to where your compartment fills with water. It breaks down the tablet more effectively in the compartment and no powder is left using this method.  

Clothes come out clean and smelling slightly floral yet fresh. Great cleaning capability with normal stains being removed and whites dont fade. Does not itritate sensitive skin also and is washing machine friendly. Great washing powder to use. 

Ihearthome's March edition

Content's: 

- Wooden chic "Love" sign 

- Malteaser's bunny chocolate 

- Inspiration "This is my happy place"

- Sass & Belle "Easter bunny"

- Sass & Belle "Foral bird hook"

- Tags & stationery set 

- Hemp string 

- Washi tape 

- Wax melt 

- Clip-bag 

- Wooden chic "Love" sign 

This is a sturdy and well made sign, spelling out the word "love". It is decorated with a floral pattern on the front of the sign, then is white in the other area's. Really nice little chic decorative piece, it can be placed in small space's to add some colour and personality,  

- Sass & Belle "Easter bunny"

I love this little bunny and as i have a beautiful new niece, i think this will be the perfect gift for her first spring. I'll use another item in the box to personalise it.

- Sass & Belle "floral bird hook"

Ive had a bird hook before within a HappyMail box and its one of my favourite item's. This will look so lovely as a pair now, plus an additional hook for item's. My bedroom has a forest green and wood scheme, so anything like birds etc gives a beautiful effect when its hung up.

- Tags & stationery set 

This beautiful vintage themed tag set with stickers and twine included is stunning. I cant wait to use this too make a personalised tag for Sass & Belle bunny for my niece. 

- Clipbag

This is a handy portable shopping bag. Its easy to fold and carry in your handbag or clipped to your keychain as it's so light. They're environmentally friendly in that they reduce your need to use plastic bags, which also helps save money in the long run also. 

- Hemp string 

This is a red string which is good for all craft and if like me your just getting into penpalling, it's handy to have so I can bundle my letters in neat pile's. Always a good staple to have.

- Washi tape 

I currently have stocked up some Washi tapes and I do love the design of this one. I have so far loved learning how to do this form of decorating paper, pages in a scrapbook with Washi tape. I love having them in my craft box and look forward to getting more designs. 

- Wax melt 

This wax melt is beautiful and i can only describe the smell as almost like marzipan. This melt is quite big and thick, so you can cut off bit's to melt and make it last. As this is quite fragrant and the scent throw is really good, I only use a small amount to burn in my melter. Im so glad this melt will last me at least the month. 

- Malteaser's bunny chocolate 

Being that it is traditional this weekend with spring we have been given a bunny chocolate treat. Yummy and thank you. (This little bunny did not last long past this picture) 

- Inspiration "This is my happy place"

I love having Inspiration cards within my stationary set. As i can use them for letters to friends, inserts to happy parcel il send to cheer up family and friends plus other use's. I even have a frame which i will change every week to keep motivated and inspired,   

I really liked this month's edition with the stationary in particular. Im really enjoying my passion's of writing, scrap-booking and journalling as way's to express myself. This box had some nice summery useful materials for this and I am excited to use them. My floral bird hook will be put up next to the one i had received when ihearthomes was a very new subscription, it was probably one of the first items within the box. My easter bunny will definitely be a keepsake il personalise for my niece. So the box as a whole has a lot that is relevant and great for my hobbies. The "Love" sign is beautiful but very small, this felt maybe a little out of place with last month being valentines themed. 

The chocolate bunny did not last long at all sadly. The clip-bag was not my cup of tea unfortunately and whilst this box was amazing for my hobbies, it somewhat felt lacking something.

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.

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.

- 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.

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.

This month's box theme "By the Beach" was very well thought out and costructed. I did miss the thought card's which we had recieved previously, as i love to frame them (my box just missed it this month). I enjoyed the plaques which do give me an oppertunity to brighten my home very subtly. My favourite item was the Sea Shell bracelet as it was so unique and i really love these kinds of jewellery. Also i love the stickers for my journaling as it adds lovely unique items for me to use. 

My box was a mix of chic items and classic boho style. I recieved the £15 box this month which did give me more products,  i really enjoyed this months box as it was light and airy. Giving us all a little taste of the seaside and the final parts of summer drawing to a close. This is one box i really do enjoy subscribing too and will continue to do so for many months to come.
