parcel from Britt

My friend in Canada sent me a parcel!!

Hey everyone, I'm sorry that I've not been posting a lot lately..

I haven't been feeling myself, but I am trying my best to get content up when I can!

I hope you've all had an amazing Christmas, and hope you have a great start to 2016 <3

- So as you all know I have PCOS, I'm part of a few groups on facebook for women to talk to each other openly and freely without being judged by others, the one day I posted asking if anyone would like to be my pen pal, and the only person that has bothered, and even still stayed in contact now is my beautiful amazing friend Britt!

After writing many letters, I thought it would be nice for her if I put together a package of makeup/sweets/skin care etc from the UK, and it was something she was super excited for, she couldn't wait to open it! But around the same time Britt told me she was also putting one together for me, and now I finally have it and I love EVERYTHING she has sent me!

It's so amazing how alike we are even though she's in Canada and I'm in the UK!

One day it will be amazing to get together as she's such an amazing person <3

- I will post the pictures of my amazing things below <3

I have never tried many sweets that aren't from the uk so I was excited to see she sent me these!

* Tootsie Roll

Cadburys Crispy Crunch

Nestle Coffee Crisp 

Hello Kitty Twirl Pops

Peppermint Almonds

Two Canadian leaf lollipops&two little ones

Angela's candy land chocolate factory chocolate covered fruits,

and banana shaped & flavoured sweets!

Although the hello kitty lolly is too cute to eat <3 

Hello kitty is mine and Britt's favourite!

    In the uk we have Betty Crocker things, but not a wide selection....

  I never even knew that DUNKAROOS  were a thing, but my GOD they are SO amazing!

And as you can see in the picture one side is vanilla biscuits and the little pot on the side is the frosting. Britt sent me a pack of the vanilla frosting & rainbow sprinkles, and the chocolate frosting.

I can't believe that these aren't sold in the UK <3

    In a few certain american candy stores we have jolly rancher, but not many nor have I ever seen these! I have had most of these now with my boyfriend and I can't believe how unusual but nice they are...

I had two bags of the Juicy Burst Explosion Watermelon, green apple and cherry liquid filled centers

Two boxes of original and tropical flavoured chews

And three packs of hard boiled sweets original, wild berry and passion fruit flavours.

They are very unusual tastes but they are amazing and the chews were amazing!

    These are also amazing, Britt knows me so well!

    Two body lotions, three nail varnishes from sally hanson, sinful colours and nyx.

    Two lip balms from the body shop (which smell beautiful)

    A MK watch, gorgeous eyelashes, eyelash glue and an adorable little notepad!

    I have used the nail varnishes so far and they are amazing, I can't wait to get more NYX nail        varnishes now that they are sold in the uk now :D can't wait to use everything else too..

The last things I got was a beautifully wrapped scarf, and a gorgeous necklace which comes in a cute little blue bag <3 

- I am SO lucky to have such a kind friend, I am thankful for her every single day and I hope one day we'll be able to meet, thank you again Britt you're amazing!

Birchbox February 2015

Good evening everyone :) I'm excited to say that I will be un-boxing my first ever Birchbox with you guys and explain each product :) you can buy them all at www.birchbox.co.uk/shop 

 Once opening my box I got super excited to see they put all your products in a cute little bag with strings that you pull to close it - It has the BIRCHBOX name and then the logo on the other side.  I think it's a great idea as they aren't all over the place when you open your box. I love how they have made the boxes slimmer too.

If you would like to know more about their new slim box visit;
