New Shop Find - Sugar Oh Honey Honey



I found Sugar Oh Honey Honey last week when a friend gave me a heads up that there was a limited edition Labyrinth Jewellery selection on its way. I love jewellery with a subtle geeky theme so thought I'd check it out - and I'm so happy I did.

I opted for 'The Goblin King' limited edition ring and love it even more in person than I did online.

Unfortunately my photos don't do the colours in the ring any justice. It's a gorgeous green with specs of different colours running through it. I've seen resin jewellery before that looks a bit cheap, but this is the exact opposite. It's waterproof, gorgeous quality and so pretty I keep staring at it when I'm wearing it (a lovely distraction from my computer screen at work!). So here's the ring..


...and as a lovely surprise I received a bonus item of a really sweet castle necklace...


...and lastly...here's the ring again, after I was a total geek and painted my nails to match (a different light and it still doesn't do the colours justice) ...



There are lots of other beautiful items on the site - so watch this space as it's probably going to feature again (and they do a subscription box. Yay!).

If you're looking for a gift for a friends with a geeky edge, or some very pretty jewellery or hair accessories in general I'd definitely recommend Sugar Oh Honey Honey - lovely items, beautifully wrapped and posted quickly.

I realise that this post is so gushing that it sounds sponsored - it's not - I'm genuinely just in love with my new ring!

Bye for now xx

Subscription Box Review - June Melt Crowd



If you'd asked me a couple of years ago what my favourite summer candle scent was I probably would have declared myself to be anti candles in the summer. End of. Summer is too flipping hot without adding fire into the mix.

I was converted a couple of years ago by some gorgeous cocktail scented candles, which I found added to the summer vibe around the house. And then these bad boys from Flamingo Candles 'The Melt Crowd' turned up today and now my burner is already a-burning and filling my sitting room with summery loveliness.


June's Melt Crowd is themed 'Tropic Like It's Hot' - and as you'd expect the scents are gorgeous and tropical.

This month's scents are:


1. Raspberry Ripple Ice-Cream - Exactly like the ice-cream - gorgeous. And less calories than the real thing. Bonus.

2. Palm Tree - I love this smell, I can't pinpoint what scents it contains but it's all kinds of summery

3. Cola Ice Pops - A nice subtle scent of cola in this melt - I was worried it would smell too much like cola sweets but it's a softer scent

4. White Musk - I didn't think I liked musk as a scent, but this has converted me and is the scent that is already burning in my lounge. Really relaxing and perfect for a summer evening


5. Gin & Tonic - I can not own enough products that smell of gin and tonic. Fact. My current most favourite smell

6. Strawberry Candy - Probably my least favourite - very sweet and strawberry scented, but I'm just not a strawberry kind of girl (unless its Strawberry Shortcake...she rocked)

7. Lemon Sorbet - A really nice and refreshing lemon scent (yes, I know, the lemon aspect comes as a shock)

8. Pineapple and Lime - I get more lime than pineapple from this, but lovely all the same

So there we go. Another box of smells I love. I feel like my reviews of The Melt Crowd are always really positive. But that's genuinely just because I love their scents, and at £10 get good value from it. I've tried a few different subscription boxes over the years and this is one that has stuck because I always use the scents each month (and a few have ended up being bundled up as gifts).

If you've found a subscription service you love I'd really like to hear about it.

Bye for now!
