Hey guys, so I thought I'd write a short blog post dedicated to the Medium size Dancing Reindeer gift set from Pretty Suds. This way I can explain a little more about each product, and show off more photos.

So the Medium Sack is £9.95 each (view the product on Pretty Suds website here), it comes in a super cute thick wool like material brown bag with a reindeer on top and clasps shut by wrapping the string around the top. (I'm actually obsessed with this design, you don't need to tie the string, it just wraps around the material and stays firmly) So whats inside?;

x1 Yule Be Mine (Bath Bomb) - RRP £3.45
This bath bomb smells so much like chocolate, sweet, sugary and candy like with a cute Christmas pud design. The green mistletoe leaf on top doesn't seem to melt very well when the rest of the bath bomb has fizzed away, it takes awhile to softly melt sort-of like a melt. The product itself left the water a bit of a dull, pale brown like colour (could be improved to be better, but then again what do you expect from a brown bath bomb lol) and the scent lasted hours after I had cleaned/rinsed the bath out.
Rate: 9/10

x1 Chocowork Orange (Soap Slice)
This soap is again very sweet, chocolate and orange spiced like (it reminds me of Terry's Chocolate Orange). The size of this soap bar is pretty generous typically what size you would get from Lush etc.

x1 Bath Scrunchie

There isn't much to say about this, you get a soft white regular size Scrunchie to use when your in the bath (or shower).

x1 Choc Nib (Bath Soak)
I was super excited to try this out, I've never used bath soaks, crystals etc before so when this arrived I didn't know what to expect. The tub itself was filled right to the top with chocolate, sweet scented mini crystals and the description on the packaging said to sprinkle the tub over the water. I was completely unsure how much to use, I didn't want to go using the whole lot in one go so I sprinkled about half into the water. It did bring out a strong scent instantly, but honestly, it didn't do much to the bath water I'm not sure if your to use the whole lot or not? Let me know in comments?X
Rate: 7/10

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with this set it would be a very suitable gift to give someone who has a bath (and enjoys them).

So I recently have had an amazing opportunity to have a collaboration with JORD Wood Watches, a company who are passionate about creating timepieces modeled after modern lifestyle with there main passion valuing sustainability, efficiency, and experiential living.

So my collaboration involved getting the chance to create a full HONEST review on a watch of my choice, after long hard decision on which watch to pick because they have such a beautiful range of watches available (which can be seen here). I decided to pick the 'Ely Dark Sandalwood' because it's simple styled yet so elegant, plus the brown toned wood made me think it would suit my hair being dark brunette too! As well as the fact I've never seen any watch made out of wood before, it was extremely interesting and exciting to discover such a product in person.

View the 'Ely Dark Sandalwood' watch I'm reviewing here.

I received the watch on Sunday without having to pay any international shipping fees (big bonus), it took about 2 weeks to arrive which is great as the product was shipped out from overseas (I'm based in the UK). The packaging on JORD Wood Watches is just outstandingly amazing, they go the extra mile to ensure the modern style follows on. In a solid wooden box with 'JORD' carved in, the lid slides out where among the protective packaging layer was the watch perched on a soft elegant cushion which matched the colour of my watch perfectly.

As for the watch, it's extremely lightweight (which is something I didn't expect) and the wood is smooth coated which is very relaxing to have on my wrist. The colour itself is a dark brown wood, but has a mix of various browns among the wood which is very unusual in different lightening. I noticed especially in outdoor lightening the wood can almost glow to a lighter wood but then indoors its more darker which makes me fall in love with the watch even more. The inner face on the watch uses a fork type 'quartz crystal' which looks very modern and sleek, with the glass face being scratch resistant mineral glass.

The watch itself is very unusual to any I've owned previously in the sense of using the clasp to open / close the watch to put on your wrist. To open the watch you press the two buttons (like normal watches) but then the two sides open outwards separately (where as normally I've only had the watch open outwards on one side). And then to close the watch you push one side into the open-able clasp and then push the other-side inwards to close shut. Which personally I love this, it's so different to anything I've seen previously but I can honestly say it makes it so easy to put on and take off, without the worry of balancing the watch while trying to close it shut! (Personally all timepiece creators need this invention) As for setting the time and date on the watch it's very simple and straight forward, you just adjust the silver dial on the side (like any other watch).

Overall, I'm in love with this watch the packaging itself makes it perfect for a gift to a friend, loved one, family member or for anyone of any age! But all of JORD Wood Watches are suitably affordable in a sense they are great quality, unusual style, and the movement and features of the dials are all high end. I can honestly say when I'm struggle for a gift idea I will be turning to JORD Wood Watches for a solution.

So one of the Christmas gifts I got was this super cute stylish "Tangle Angel" brush, perfect for detangling long hair without making lots of damage by breaking the hair. First off, I love the design of this product, its super cute with wings, but I LOVE the colour too! Purple + White is pure stylish, the actual brush itself isn't "normal". It's positioned at different heights with an usual pattern / feel to it, but I can honestly 100% say when I use it it never hurt once. I am so use to tugging at my hair brush, pulling at the knots in my hair and always complaining how it hurts! I've been using this a lot since I got it, on wind swept hair, damp/wet hair, and bed hair! ALL of the times I've used it not once has it "hurt" and always gets the knots out easily with a super sleek finish! I can honestly say I would recommend this to anyone I know with long hair, it's super cute (great as a gift too) but also DOES work as it's suppose to!
