My Little Box UK Christmas / December

This month My Little Box has teamed up with fashion and beauty blogger/vlogger Fleur De Force for their December edition. The outside of the box looks super girly and I think it is one of my favourites so far!



The box includes several Christmas-related goodies and 3 beauty products.

I am really happy with this cute little knitted hairband. The last time I wore a hairband was years ago when I was in primary school. It brings back lot of memories and I prefer this grey colour for a more modest look. It is very well made and has a bit of shiny thread woven in making it look a bit seasonal. I am definitely going to wear it - I never say no to accessories!



The box included several gift wrapping essentials like patterned tapegift tags and string. I think it is a lovely idea for those who love wrapping presents for Christmas. I am probably going to use them as I still have a few presents left to wrap!









This months My Little Word magazine is filled with inspiring women, Christmas DIY ideas, make up tutorials, recipes and an interview with UK blogger Fleur from Fleur De Force.

Like all of the other boxes, Kanako has illustrated another card for Christmas with a lovely message at the top.



Each month the box includes 3 beauty products. This time we've got a body lotion, face cream and a lipstick. 

Cowshed Wild Cow Invigorating Body Lotion with essential oils of lemongrass, ginger and rosemary sounds so Christmasy! I have heard a lot about this brand and I am happy to get my hands on one of their products. Cowshed body lotion refreshes and warms the skin, awakens the senses and sharpens the mind. All of the natural ingredients make it easily absorbed, leaving the skin silky smooth and ready for the party season! The bottle is cute and very simple. 100 ml for £18

L'Occitane Immortelle Precious Cream is ideal for normal to dry skin. It is a rich, smooth moisturiser which visibly corrects deep wrinkles and helps restore firmness to the skin. The combination of organic immortelle essential oil and organic immortelle cell extracts offers smoother, firmer and protected skin. It is quite a pricy product, £45 for 50ml (mine is a sample size of 15). I am probably giving it away - I don't think it suits my skin type. 

My Little Beauty team created a lipstick shade that really does suit all - berry red. The texture is quite creamy and it looks lighter on the lips than I thought it would. The packaging feels quite cheap - made from cardboard instead of plastic - but will be helping the environment! 






Overall, I am not the biggest fan of the December box. I love the hairband as it goes well with my style and I am really pleased with the Cowshed body lotion but I guess I just had higher hopes for this month.


I still think My Little Box is the best subscription box I have tried - I can't wait what they have for us for next year!

  8. This is such a generous and beautifully presented box - I love the idea of not keeping to purely beauty products and including a sweet accessory as well. The box is so beautiful and feminine.. I love it! :)

Esimene trimester ehk esimesed kolm kuud \\ beebi number 2

Tere blogi, Jah, üllatus, üllatus, ma olen rase! Esimene trimester on läbi ja teen küsimused-vastused varjandis blogipostituse. Ausalt öeldes ei olnud mul just kõige kergem algus- jõetus, väsimus, iiveldamine ja oksendamine kestsid 6. nädalast kuni 13. nädalani. Ei tuleks vist eriti huvitav postitus, kui ma peaks kirjutama, kuidas ma kõik need nädalad voodis veetsin ja mitu korda päevas vetsupotti kallistasin, nii siis vastan pigem mõnedele esimese trimestriga seotud küsimustele.   Kuidas sa avastasid, et sa oled rase ja kuidas sa Tristanile ütlesid? Ühel reede hommikul ärkasin varem, et trenni teha. Jooksin jooksulindi peal umbes 30 minutit ja terve selle aja tundsin end imelikult. Umbes 5 minutit enne jooksmise lõppu tuli mul üles mega suur röhitsus ja natuke maomahla. See tunne oli nii tuttav! Tagasi tuppa tulles tegin veel Tristanile nalja, et olen vist rase. Terveks päevaks jäi see mõte mind kummitama ja ma ütlesin Tristanile, et peaks igaks juhuks rasedustesti tegema. Jä...

Minu lemmikud tooted - Austraalia eri

Tere blogi, vahelduseks kõigile nendele raseduse postitustele panin kokku väikse listi oma viimase aja lemmikutest toodetest. Olen eelistanud niinimetatud kodumaist, ehk siis kõik tooted on Austraalias tehtud-toodetud-valmistatud.   asap Revitalising Bodyscrub   Paar kuud tagasi otsisin endale uut kehakoorijat ja komistasin juhuslikult sellise brändi otsa nagu asap . Mulle meeldis just see, et nende tooted on looduslikud, vegan ja valmistatud siin Austraalias. Pudel on hea suurusega (200 ml) ja maksab 50 dollarit (umbes 30 eurot). See kehakoorija sisaldab ka minu lemmikut glükoolhapet, mis on tugev antioksüdant, põletikuvastase toimega, nahka niisutav ja stimuleerib kollageeni loomist. Kasutan suhteliselt kokkuhoidlikult - umbes vutimuna suurune kogus ja sellest piisab täiesti käia üle kohad, mis enim muret teevad. Olen kasutanud seda kehakoorijat kaks korda nädalas. Hõõrun õrnalt umbes paar minutit ja loputan siis duši all maha. Nahk on pärast mega pehme ja mina nägin mu...

Kayla Itsines Bikini Body Guide - Starting again

The last time I posted about my workout regime was in November last year when I started the Kayla Itsines BBG healthy eating plan and 12 week workout sessions. I think I got up to week 4 before I lost my motivation because of illness and Christmas. My friend Marianne and I started BBG again on the 5th of January with thousands of other girls and joined #thekaylamovement and #kaylasarmy to share our journey along this painful but exciting path.  You can read my first post about the BBG programme here as I am explaining a bit more on how I 'found' Kayla and how the training works.  I have done BBG for 5 weeks now (the first 2 weeks we did pre-training) and I'm feeling quite positive. I've not seen much progress myself - I still have my weak areas like tummy, bum and thighs. I do feel much stronger though! I'm doing all of the workouts properly, I have strength in my legs and arms - it is quite easy to do 10 push ups and continue with triceps and mountain clim...
