Ihearthomes - June Edition




Its my favourite time of the month again, my ihearthomes subsctiption box. I have the £10 subscription currently which I'm going to increase too the £15 for next month. 

They say
ihearthomes are passionate and a little excitable about all things home. We have always loved making that house into a home and love gorgeous items that really make the difference. From quirky wooden signs to romantic rustic hanging hearts, we love all the items we sell. 

We have beautiful wedding decorations and gifts, stunning children's items, heart warming hearts, gorgeous signs and plaques. Take a look around the site and see what takes your fancy.  Don't forget to come back again, as we are always looking to add new items.

Content's: 

- "Be you" inspiration card
- "Queen bee" Plaque 
- Flowerpot pen
- Refresher sweet
- Little bird brooch 
- Little bird Locket
- 4 Tweety pegs
- Butterfly gift tag


"Queen bee" Plaque 
Is a really well made and decorative plaque. I will have this above my vanity or on my wardrobe, to just liven up what can be a quite bland area of the room. Really lovely brightly coloured item. 

4 Tweety pegs
Ive just started journalling and these peg's are perfect. They are multifunctional so if you have a pin board or need to secure documents, then these peg's are perfect. Mine will hold important letter's in my journal, adding a little brightness to it. 

"Be you" inspiration card
I love the inspirational card's, as they are fantastic to write on and send to friend's. So im loving having these each month. 

Butterfly gift tag
This little gift tag is a beautifully vintage item. It adds a little touch to any gift and there is enough space for a short message.  


Flowerpot pen
What an utterly adorable item, perfect for anyone whom likes journalling or anyone with young children. It can be used by budding gardeners whom want to have some fun stationary. Its very summery cute box filler.

Little bird brooch
This isnt really my cup of tea as i dont wear brooch's, however my friend loves bird's so im sure she will adore this. Its a lovely item and very chic for anyone whom likes accessories being more unique. 

Little bird Locket Keyring
My joint favourite item of this months box, made by Sass and Belle. Its a beautifully enamelled locket with a mirror and space for a photo inside. The photo can be a decent size also and not a tiny one. Really happy to have this and be able to put this on my keychain. 

Refresher sweet
Sweety, now you cant not like a sweetie. I cant eat this as im diabetic but my nephew sure will love this. No sweets go to waste. 


This month's box was lovely and full of summery items. The items are all beautiful for my home and Journal with exception of the brooch being not really to my taste,. I love the locket for my keychain and plaque to brighten up my wardrobe. The flowerpot pen and 4 tweety peg's are perfect for my journalling and will make a lovely edition to my stationary collection. The gift tag, inspiration card and refresher are lovely box fillers that are universal. The card can be framed and also given to cheer a friend up in times where a good word can be as good as a hug. Im really enjoying the happy mail boxes and find them such a refreshing change from beauty boxes. I can't wait to subscribe to the bigger box and see the difference in contents. Excited for July's box now.

My little French Riviera box - June edition


So with spring blooming into summer. The flowers and pollen at an all encompassing part of this season. Yet sunshine and relaxation go hand in hand, as we soak up the energy boosting vitamin D (with SPF of course) and enjoy the season while we have it. This month's theme is the French riviera and it's in collaborarion with Sarah Lavoine.
They say : 
- Must-have beauty products 
(including one from our own in-house beauty range, My Little Beauty) 
- Fashion and lifestyle accessories 
- Our magazine (My Little World) 
- Illustrated goodies by Kanako 


Content's for this month edition : 
- Sarah Lavoine Sunglasses 
- My little world magazine
- Planter pot 
- My beauty bag 
- Quote card 
- Sarah Lavoine Sunglasses  

Made by hip interior designer Sarah Lavoine. With a purple tinge to these lightweight round frame's and gold initialing on the sides. Minimalistic and stylish, the perfect sunglasses for you handbag. Supplied with a cleaning cloth.

- My beauty bag

Each month we receive a beauty bag full of item's. Also recieving an item from the My little beauty range. This month we received :
- Nail polish by Sarah lavoine
- Kerastase :Ciment thermique Blow-dry care
- My little beauty :Sea salt scrub

My beauty bag was not my favourite for the month, only because i really have had enough of nail polish. The colour and coverage is really good,I'd rather recieve a more summery item like a hair band etc. We cant have it all and thats my only gripe really with the beauty bag. The sea salt scrub is a really nice and fresh smelling sample, il enjoy using this.

- My little world magazine


Has Sarah on the cover and the theme of ocean summer sun and beauty tutorial's. Im still not keen on the fold out magazine for sheer ease of use i prefer the old style.

- Planter pot 

Made by Kanako this pot can be used to plant some summer flowers, fruits or use it to store your makeup brushes and pens. Either way you choose to use this pot will be a lovely addition to your home.  The planter pot is a little confusing as I'm not a green fingered person. Yet i can use this to store my makeup brushes, as it is a roomy pot it will come in handy somewhere I'm sure. 

- Quote card


These are my favourite items in each box, collecting them for writing card's. They are beautifully illustrated, I'm sure anyone would love them as a greeting within a parcel. 

So this month is perfect for summer and the nautical theme of the french riviera. The sunglasses are light, stylish and a lovely colour, so for that i really like this item for my handbag. Overall a bit of a hit and miss box, which was bound to happen sometime. This is really was only a miss due to the nail polish and planter for me. So i really cant wait for next month's box. This month the art work on the box is really stunning.  

Where have i been ?

Many of us use makeup as we have a passion or or it is nessesity of our daily life. For me it is a mixture of things. It is one of those ...
