What is the Best Reading Light?
I explain why it’s so important to invest in a good quality reading light, and how reading before bed can be transformative for our mental health.
As the days get shorter and the nights draw in, a good reading light is essential when curling up with a good book. Reading in low, inadequate lighting can make it difficult for your eyes to focus and cause eye strain.
Lakeland StaySnug Electric Heated Throw Review
As the cold weather draws in, many people will be thinking about how they can keep themselves and their homes warm this winter without spending huge amounts of money. To help with this, my partner and I have recently invested in a few household items that we hope will make a big difference.
Outin Nano Portable Espresso Machine - Review
When I first saw the Outin Nano Portable Espresso Machine, I couldn’t believe that something of this size could make decent coffee.
As my partner and I love to travel and are always on the go, I knew that I needed to try it for myself.
AKT Deodorant Review
Here’s my full unboxing and review of AKT’s deodorant balm - designed for everyday use by two London West End performers.
I’m writing this review just after reading that AKT’s deodorant balm is being used at the Paris 2024 Olympics by the Team GB rowing squad. This product has an impressive clientele, having been publicly endorsed by swathes of actors, athletes and magazine editors, so I have been very keen to give it a try.
Tatty Devine Jewellery Review
As a book lover, I’m always on the hunt for unique book themed jewellery, clothing, and household items to showcase my love of literature. So when Tatty Devine launched their World Book Day 2024 collection, I was very excited to get my hands on a few of their pieces!
In this blog post I will show you what their jewellery pieces actually look like, whether I think they’re good quality, and if they’re worth spending money on.
Air Up Gen 2 Bottle Review - Is It Worth the Hype?
I’ve heard a lot about the impressive Scentaste technology that uses cutting edge science to create ‘flavour from thin air’. Essentially, these bottles use scent to trick the brain into tasting a variety of flavours in what is actually plain water.
This is the second generation bottle, which comes in a range of colours including two new shades, Red Poppy and Green Sage. There are also two sizes to choose from, either 600ml or 1 litre, depending on your preference. As you can see from the photos, I opted for the Sage Green 600ml version which came with three flavour pods: Red Berry, Lime and Watermelon. It cost me £34.99 for the bottle and three pods together, reduced from £36.99, with free postage.
Hello Kitty Crocs Unboxing
When I saw that Crocs had released a Hello Kitty collaboration I knew that I had to get my hands on them. The range was released in January 2024 as part of Hello Kitty’s 50th birthday celebrations, with the adult sizes retailing at £64.99 in the UK and $69.99 in the US.
Jellycat Collection Review - Are They Worth the Money?
I started my Jellycat collection in 2023 after being introduced to the soft toys on TikTok, where they are hugely popular. In this post I will introduce you to the brand and walk you through my collection so far, answering the question: are they worth the price tag?
What Are Jellycats?
Jellycats or ‘Jellies’ are soft toys that are made from snuggly fabrics and with unique, often quirky, designs. The company was founded in London in 1999 and prides itself on being a premium toy manufacturer. According to their website, Jellycat toys are ‘softer, subtler and long-lasting’ than other toys, and that’s something that I’d agree with. I’ve owned a lot of soft toys in my life, but the softness of a Jellycat is next level. The quality of their materials also means that they’re safe for children and adults of all ages, including newborns, and can be enjoyed by all.

Welcome to Zürich’s designated literary hotel, the B2 Boutique. This is somewhere that’s been on my literary travel bucket list for a very long time, and visiting was an absolute dream come true. I’m excited to show you around!
