Long time no speak

I know, I know.

I deserve a slap on the wrists for my blogging capabilities right now. 

So many empty promises to do this and do that but now I am back and I will stick to it.

Where can I start, I had the most amazing birthday this year with all of my friends back home and at uni. I went to Circuit in Essex for my pre birthday with my best friends. My dress was from Rare London and I absolutely love it, the perfect length, the perfect colour, everything.

We saw SecondCity and they were amazing but I must admit although the club has a reputation for being quite dressy, I felt like I should have had a bum bag and been in my festival gear because the vibe in there was insane.

I came back to Bournemouth on my actual birthday (9th february) and as soon as I walked through the door to my flat I was greeted with beautiful almost bird like singing from my flat mates, a cake and a fish bowl that was probably purple for all the wrong reasons. After opening my sex shop special presents, I got ready and this time my dress was from Pink Soda and once again i cannot fault it, apart from the tan I had on got on the cream bit, but whats to be expected from a night of dancing.

I saved the best for last though. Calum Best. Fresh out of the CBB house I got a hug a kiss and a happy birthday from the man himself. Just ask anyone who was on our table that night and they will tell you how much I was shaking and nearly on the verge of tears. Don't worry I played it super super cool.

I was absolutely spoiled by my family, friends and boyfriend this year. Thank you so much for everything you do and the gifts you bought me. I love you all lots, from the gorgeous Vivienne Westwood earrings, the Janoski trainers and the sex position shot glasses and willy straws. I love them all!

Heres to another year, why does 19 feel so old. 

I know I'll laugh at myself for saying that later on.

Degusta Box - food subscription box

Something a little bit different this time. I love food and that isn't a secret, so when I saw an offer on Facebook for a half price food and drink box I grabbed it while I had the chance!

Degusta Box is a monthly subscription box where you get between 9-14 products ranging from crisps to cider! Priced at £12.99 including delivery and with most the products being full sized or very generous samples, I think it really is worth the money.

With January being the month to kick start your diet (or not in my case) January's box was the healthy box.

The first thing my eyes went straight to were my favourite ice teas Little Miracles, a blend of fruit juice, organic tea and ginseng. Even better I got my 2 favourite flavours peach and raspberry! 

Total - £2.98

Next up Mornflake, 2 little porridge pots one with maple syrup and one with NUTELLA!!!! Add hot water and you're good to go.

Total - £3

As a student you can never have enough olive oil but this healthy alternative Alfa One Rice Bran Oil is an essential in my cupboard.

Total - £2

Another thing I've been wanting to try is coconut milk and what did I get? You guessed it Koko Dairy Free Original coconut milk.

Total £1.39

I once went through a phase where Pot Noodles were my life, but this healthier alternative Kabuto Noodles has introduced me to a more fresh and less stodgy pot noodle. I got Chicken Ramen flavour and I must say it was delicious.

Total - £2

Not one for making my own bread but I'm willing to give it a go with Sukrin bread mix.Sunflower and pumpkin bread sounds pretty delicious and also healthy, but for the price I wouldn't buy it with my own money.

Total - £5

The classic Ryvita biscuit takes a twist with these similar Finn Crisp crackers, mixed with sourdough giving it a tangy flavour kind of similar to cornflakes. Great for snacking with a variety of toppings.

Total - £1.20

Cider is one of the best things, imagine sitting in a beer garden a nice fruity cider with the sun shining what could be better. This Magners low calorie fruit cider has got me right in the mood for summer now, Orchard Berries mmmmm.

Total - £1.89

Not a fan of this next one Haywards Piccalilli, grim. Enough said.

Total - £1.89

As a special gift I got a deluxe sample size of Clipper Green Tea, not a fan of hot drinks but I'm willing to give it a go.

Total - £1.69 for 25 bags (given 10)

Overall total £20.71

I think I will definitely look into subscribing to this box permanently. As well as the food and drink you got recipe cards to help you use the products in the box and also some leaflets about the brands in the box. Seriously, who doesn't want a big box of snacks and treats delivered to their door every month? Compared to Graze Box I definitely prefer this as it isn't an all snack box. Obviously it costs more but I think it is a definite investment 

Lots of love
