Winter Munching… SourcedBox Review

Get a cup of tea and a snack because this post is going to be a long one! I do hope you enjoy it as I always get excited opening my monthly SourcedBox and the winter boxes have been outstanding so far. I’ve given a full review down below of the November box and a sneak peek into the December one for fun!

SourcedBox is a monthy healthy snacks subscription box and it contains all sorts of genius snacks that you can munch on whilst eating smart. I have discovered SO many new brands thanks to the box and it never fails to brighten up my month! It was set up by Marcus Butler and Niomi Smart who are YouTubers. You get about 10 items in each box and the surprise of waiting for what new products you are going to be introduced to is so exciting!

Festive Wrapping

I have had to learn to elevate my wrapping through ornaments, bows and ribbons to make them a little more special. My actual wrapping skills are a little messy haha but I feel this can be disguised very well through decoration! Taking that extra care to put that ribbon on or tie that bow can make it look like you have put a lot more thought and care into your wrapping. It also helps make a more affordable present look more expensive – tricks for those on a budget!

I have put together a few wrapping ideas for you to take some inspiration from or just adapt yourselves. I feel like anyone could do these ideas and it doesn’t take too much time or money!

Winter Outfit…

This outfit post is a bit more special as it’s Christmas and so there’s no excuses to dress up and look all glam! Whether it’s a work party or evening drinks with your friends, this outfit looks so sophisticated and the details in the dress speak for themselves. I don’t think you can go wrong with a classic black dress and I have accessorized with golds and pinks to keep it fairly simple and let the clothes do the talking!

Festive Hair Styles

I can’t believe blogmas is nearly over but that means Christmas is almost here which is so exciting! I haven’t done a hair styles blog before but as I have long hair I thought why not use it! And blogmas is the perfect time to create some content I’ve been wanting to do for a while. I’m not the best at hair but when I make more of an effort I always feel more confident. These three styles should give you a few ideas or inspiration to adapt during the festive season when you want to make a little more effort for those Christmas gatherings!

Mulled Wine

I love mulled wine in winter and it really does make me feel all festive! There is something about winter spices that just warms me inside and makes me feel all cosy. This year I decided to make some homemade mulled wine and it was delicious! Why not have a go at making a batch and invite friends over for festive drinks that won’t cost an arm and a leg?

Hope you enjoy this recipe! Let me know if you make it or what other ingredients you like to add to your wine!
