My Little Road Trip Box

My Little Box

One of my surprise birthday presents was a three month subscription to My Little Box, it was something that I had seen online and had really liked the look of. So I asked if I could have it for my birthday. I quickly forgot about it and patiently waited till the morning of the 10th of July to see what I had kindly been given.

To my surprise I found a flat present, a wrapped piece of paper, inside was a lovely note telling me that for the next three months I will receive a box from My Little Box. I was so happy, I could not believe it  and I'm still very surprised that I have just opened the July 2015 Road Trip Box.

If you don't know how it works, My Little Box is a monthly subscription service. Inside each box is a mixture of beauty products and fashion and lifestyle accessories. The box also includes their own magazine called My Little World which tells you a bit about some of the products and sometimes a discount code for a website. This wonder also contains beautiful drawings throughout by Kanako.

Fun fact about me, I don't wear make-up. So when I saw My Little Box had beauty products inside, I
wasn't sure if I was excited to try the make-up or whether I would just have to give them away to my sister. This months box didn't come any beauty products I did not want. There was a pink essie nail varnish called, "Bottle Service" it is a bright pink colour which looks slightly better in person than online. A Garnier cleansing water, I presume this is the smaller size for traveling as that is the theme with this box. It is described as an all-in-one cleanser to lift away dirt from your skin which sounds very good to me, I'll look forward to using that soon.

The final beauty related product is a small packet of gold temporary tattoos which first reminded me of the one you would get with your friends where you wet the back then peeled off the paper (I remember getting a spiderman one in a bag of sweets) you know the ones? I mean that in the best possible way because they remind me of when I was little and I can't wait to use them at the festivals we are going to in the summer. The edgy gold designs really caught my eye and I hope they will last all day long.

The lifestyle products included a small material bag with pink stars and My Little Box on the bag, a travel organiser with sections for things like you purse and passport that are beautifully drawn onto the organiser, a cute little postcard envelope that you can write holiday memories in to post to a friend and a fancy bic biro with a stylus at the end and a shiny silver pattern on the pen.

This next product will be useful for the next month or so as on Wednesday we officially finish for the summer holidays. It's an aftersun called,"Summer Sorbet" from My Little Box's beauty company called My Little beauty. I personally think it smells of sweet strawberries, a sort of strawberry ice-cream smell which is perfect for summer.Each My Litte Box costs £11 plus £3.95 delivery costs.

Have you ever been on a road trip?

Happy Birthday, to Me.

Friday 10th July 2015

Little bit of a different blog post this week but I just thought I'd share a few of the things i've been up to recently.

Friday was my birthday, it was a school day and I was wearing a badge. This meant that almost every person who walked past us said, "Happy Birthday" my tutor group even sung to me.

After school we went to the cinema then went to Nando's for tea. I had the veggie burger and pinched some of Dad's chips. We went to Krispy Kreme for pudding but I didn't get anything.

For my birthday I got two wonderful lush vouchers, a pandora necklace, a fancy bag and a coat. Everything I got was so nice and I can't wait to use soon.

My family kindly gave me money which I use to buy a record player with. I got a blue and white crosley record player from hmv as well as a James Bay vinyl. The vinyl's are so fun and they sound really good.

I was going to spend some of the lush vouchers but I decided to save them for the next time I go shopping as I had to carry the heavy record player round with me.

Last Christmas I got a lush voucher but it was a plain black design with the logo on. I have to say these two are much prettier than my first one.

As soon as we got home from shopping, we set up the record player. It was fairly simple to do there was a space at the back for the plug and a piece of material about the size of a single 45 record. The material was to place under where the vinyl went - I wasn't quite sure what it was for though. Once it was set up Mum told me some things about the vinyl's like: if you get lots of dust on the vinyl it will get stuck in the needle and try not to touch the vinyl so you don't scratch it.

What is your favourite song/album?
