Wooden stag head for jewellery

Wooden Stag head - iWOOT*

I am so chuffed with this! The stag head theme in itself is quite quirky and looks great paired with pastels. I have been longing for either stag head cushions or even a print frame as I love the style of them of them so much. It was just by chance I came across this 3D version online; I knew I had to have it!

This was such a fun little project to do. The stag head arrives flat packed and all you need to do is slot the pieces in together. This was a lot simpler to do than initially anticipated, it has easy to read instructions so anyone can do it! You can then paint it or leave it natural which is the way i’ve left mine. This is such a fun display or you can use it as jewellery holder. Different to the normal way of sorting jewellery, this adds so much character to the room.

Would you believe this wooden stag head is only £10! It will make such a great gift also especially now with Christmas coming up. The iWoot site in general has a great selection of gifts from onesies to sweetie dispensers!

I hope you enjoyed this little review! Let me know what you think, different to the normal way of storing jewellery right? 

Review: Fruitbroo (caffeine free and 100% natural)

FruitBroo hot drinks*

I was so glad to come across these caffeine free drinks! FruitBroo is a relatively new company who sell hot drinks which are made from ingredients that are 100% natural. Totally something I was looking for especially now with winter arriving- a hot drink is a must.

What FruitBroo says; "A new range of insanely tasty juicy fruit drinks specially blended to be served hot. 100% natural with no caffeine, gluten or dairy and only 15 calories a cup."

FruitBroo were kind enough to send me 2 flavours which are perfect for the festive season. Each bottle will make 15 cups worth, it is similar to squash in the sense that you add water to a teaspoon or two of the bottled syrup.

I was pleasantly surprised with the taste as the strength of the flavour is similar to most fruit teas. It is not over powering but if you did want it stronger you could add in more syrup. I am tempted to make iced tea with it so will let you know how it turns out. I really want to try the Honey & Lemon flavour now too! The full range is available online as well as some Sainsbury stores for £2.50. 

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you think of these hot drinks!
