Crunch Corn: Propercorn Review

If you don't like nuts or can't have nuts then I'm just going to start off by saying how perfect these are for you, as well as if you've had their popcorn too these are just as delicious.

Propercorn very kindly sent me out a pack each of 4 new bags of 'Crunch Corn'. I was quite dubious really, as I am such a huge fan of their popcorn I didn't know if these would be better or worse. Especially since the packet says 'a bit like nuts' I was like meh I don't eat nuts will I even be able to eat them??

Can we just take a second though to appreciate this packing (!!!)





Nevertheless I opened a packet and the look of them proper surprised me I wasn't expecting that at all I was expecting them to literally look like popcorn that hadn't been popped.


The flavour was on point,  although in the Salt & Vinegar pack some too salty and couldn't really taste the vinegar but I was addicted, I eat the whole bag in one sitting without even realising.. oops.

The Salt and Pepper is definitely my favourite though which I wasn't at all expecting but the flavouring was just perfectly portioned between all of them, I even shared them out with my mum and dad and they eat them all on me so i'm guessing they enjoyed them too.


I'm not going to talk about all of them all I have to say is that the flavourings are all just perfect and you might not expect them to taste as good as the popcorn and if you liked the flavourings of their popcorn you will love these.



Some of the popcorn were a little hard to bite into but there was only a handful of them and I guess thats why they're called 'Crunch Corn'. I think that for people who don't eat nuts they should just start putting these in pubs instead, I would definitely be eating them all haha.


A big thank you to Propercorn for sending these out to me, they have really surprised me and I can't wait to see what other flavours or products they bring out next. For all things Propercorn visit their website here

Have you tried the new Crunch Corn? Let me know what you think of them.

AnimalBox: December Review

It's been forever since I did a blog post, due to uni deadlines and none stop work when i've come back for home for Christmas. But for today's post I am happy to announce my future partnership with Animalbox! 

Animalbox is a group of people who are passionate pet lovers who select a range of high quality products which are specifically chosen for the size and breed of your cat. Everyone know's how much I love my cat so to be able to treat her with all of this is lovely, so when Animalbox was looking for bloggers to review there boxes I jumped at the chance. 





For those that don't know, this is Tilly Mint my cat. She is 13/14 years old and she is going to be reviewing the products today.





There were lots of goodies in this box and the first thing Tilly went for is of course the toy. Even though she is a 'senior' she loves her toys and can spend hours just chasing anything that wiggles or makes a sound. Tilly isn't much of a big eater, but she loves her treats and I loved the names of these ones and especially perfect for christmas time (!!!) Tilly is skinny anyway so I don't care how much of these she eats and she can burn it off chasing her new toy. 

My favourite of this is the wet food, Tilly loves wet food but it's expensive to keep buying it so we stick to dry food which lasts months she doesn't mind either way tbh but I like to be able to treat her with wet food when I can. 






This is just one of the toys we got in the box and just look how cute it is with the gingerbreads on!! It's so strong too which is perfect as Tilly has proper strong teeth and claws, so when we play with it I know it won't just snap in half or break off in her mouth. I will of course be supervising so if anything does happen I can just take it away but it's such a cute little toy and she hasn't been away from it since it came out the box.





The other products that I love are the snowman and the blanket, i'm pretty sure the snowman is meant to hang on our christmas tree but she's having none of that, she just claws it when ever I go to even touch it.









Since Tilly also doesn't have a bed, she sleeps on my old dressing gown so I just placed the blanket on top of it as it's nice for her to have her own something. However, she actually kicked it off so I guess she just likes to be comfortable with what she's used to but i've left it there anyway and she is occasionally sleeping on it.






So in this box I got: 

  • IAMS delights: Salmon & Trout in Jelly
  • Play & Fill Stocking: Catnip Toy
  • Pip Squeak Snowman
  • Gingerbread Tease Toy
  • Comets 4 course Meal Treats: Salmon, Turkey, Cheese and Yoghurt flavourings 
  • Cat Grass
  • Pet Throw 

All in all I found this box a proper treat for my cat, she seemed to enjoy playing with her toys and filled herself up on her food and treats. The only ones I wouldn't give my cat is the catnip as she's never had it before and the cat grass, I don't really understand this as my cat goes outside but we have grass so why do we need cat grass? I might try it out anyway and see what she thinks of it. 

SO ANYWAY THE PRICE (!!!!) The monthly Subscription is £14.90, but the products of the box probably value at around £40. 

If you'd like to treat your favourite companion, use this code ukb0la2e which will give you a £5 discount on your first box. 

These are some of the links where you can find boxes for your dogs or cats:


Please let me know what you think of this post and whether you'll be purchasing a subscription for your loved pet.

Womanish Affairs: Teabag Holder Review

This blog is all about a shop called 'Womanish Affairs' created by the very talented Sabah. Sabah has recently just created her own online store where she has a number of the cutest little hand crafted products.  When I saw that she had opened her own store I just could not resist looking at what was on there!!! As soon as I spotted this tea bag holder I just had to have one for myself, if any of you know me you will know how addicted I am to tea so this would be perfect for me. 



Sabah let me choose whatever item I would like. I chose this one as I loved the design and the slogan so much it's so cute and the tea pot cut is so sharp and pretty.  Even though this item was ideally made for her mum, she even made another for me.. how lovely is that?! I was just so excited when it arrived, the quality of it as well every detail is perfect, I actually cannot fault any part of this. Sabah really has put so much time and effort into making all of these. 




I have heard that this weekend was actually about supporting small businesses, so if you know someone who loves tea why not buy them one of these for Christmas or another from her collection. They only cost £6 too like, what is there not to love? The only downside to this shop is that it is so far only available for the UK customers, so sorry to everyone else you will have to wait. 


If you would like to see more photo's of her products just pop over to the shop's Instagram to have a snoop, but I assure you that you won't be able to resist buying something.
