Feel Good Box. Review

Image
Oh we haven’t had a box review in a while. Well I couldn’t actually find something I liked to try but finally I give you the Feel Good Box Their website promises the natural beauty and self care.  Well unlike many other boxes and subscription things this one offers the one off box. So I didn’t need to remember to cancel. And the communication was excellent. Pretty much as soon as I ordered my one off box, I was emailed if I wanted their new November box rather then old October one. And then I had issues with my delivery, somehow the house number was missing of the address but the package was resend again free of charge. A fabulous customer service.  And inside it was magical too  I am already using the reusable makeup pads, and these are excellent quality! There is body oil, bath soak, beauty balm that smells heavenly, body buff (I am unsure off), motivational notecard. All this come in Lille jute bad with hand written note on handmade paper. All the packaging is rec

Baby rave once again

I have heard of Big Fish Little Fish Events form Scummy Mummies podcast ages ago and we have been to one in Tramshed. Last time I found it a bit too much for the little guy, it was hot it was crowded and he just kept a in running from and to the toilets. Nightmare. So we haven’t been for couple of years.  But this time the event was in Depot. It is a much bigger venue and it was fabulous.  Egg was very happy to explore the area and look and touch things. Few times I have say no and get traffic lights out, but he was a very happy and well behaved self. And I could see him. And it wasn’t too loud. Unlike in tramshed.  There were 2 bars, massive craft and baby crawl areas. Pizza place and a lady with magnificent cupcakes and cakes. Some nice benches and chairs for folks to chill at. And there were photo booths and face paining. The photo booth with printed photo was a very affordable £2 and tons of props.  There was also Santa! One of our classmate met the big man

So what do you do after running or maybe swimming in the park for 10k? Well after I warmed up I got dressed and went to local Antique mall. Hey Cardiff would you call Jacobs Antiques a mall?  So anyway I went on adventure among all the pretty old things. (Husband hint hint)  Ignore the funny face... but if I see the hat, I must try the hat!  How cool is that RAF ladies hat?!  But you know I have a big head or big hair none of them fit me! But never mind! This one was just so pretty with a not to bad of price tag of £75 but I don’t need it or can actually afford this. I did however send this picture to my mother who couldn’t decide if she wanted something similar we saw in a charity shop for a quarter of the price... she is regretting not getting it by the way!  I don’t like teabags very much. I like loose tea and I have a modern version of one of these. But look how cute! Also have you seen that report on micro-plastics in posh teabags? Right! On that note Cardiff Market has an amazing

Run or a swim

I do love a race day. You wake up feeling excited put on your kit and see all the loonies fellow runners are eager to stand pinning their bibs and such.  All very well all very wonderful. But UK weather has other plans...  I just had to do the Mo running event since it was a 10th anniversary and I am pretty sure I did the very 1st Cardiff event 9 years ago. And it was always my fastest and the funnest race. Some costumes are totally out there!  I even done this race after the storm and a day before flying out to Russia with a small child.  But this year it was something else....  The rain was cold. The wind was cold. I run in my jacket! That never happened. And at some point I was ankle deep in a puddle...  Our son’s classmate had a little cry after completing her mini Mo race (1,5k) because her feet were wet and she was cold. I hear you little one I almost went home again. She was very happy once home, just so you know, she has a shiny medal and a fun headband to wear.  Race was a har

Happy what ever holiday it is.  I want to say that I have reflected on life on the day of the dead but I was just tired and a bit sleepy all day long!  We did some Halloween things, like decorated the house, paint our face and carve pumpkins! I don’t know if you seen my post on Instagram. Have to say doing a pumpkin with a kitchen knife or with a tiny chisel thing from the kit (you know the ones) ... chisel thing is so much easier!    We didn’t go trick-or-treating since we live on the main busy street and well not many neighbours decorated their houses... and well some one didn’t want to wear his consume. Maybe next year! Some folks think it ok to start Christmas season.... well you do you but it is too early! Although one lady at work said she is doing her shopping today to avoid all the rush. Good luck to her! I am just happy the half term is over and it was a good one. Apart from 4am start time yesterday, thank you cat for running around like a mad loony and waking us up!  We did t
