I was so excited when I was asked by this company to promote their business. For some reason I appreciate handmade items more than readily bought items as it adds a more personal touch. The owner 'Izzy' was so lovely, she asked me what I would like and what my favourite colours were and much more. I wanted it to be a surprise so I let her chose for me.

I received my parcel in a padded envelope so the items stayed safe. My products were also in little organza bags so they were presented nicely. Inside I received a hand painted card with my name on the front and inside was a message off the company which was lovely. 

The first item I opened was my little chibi version of myself. This item is so quirky and probably my favourite item I received that was handmade from polymer clay. It was so personal and I respected the work put into it. I love to keep it on my dressing table because it just looks so cute!


The next item was my macaroon necklace. This again was handmade by Izzy and it was in amazing quality. It looked like the creamy texture inside the macaroon and had multicolour on top of it and looked so realistic. I also liked the way this was presented too because the chain was in closed in a piece of card that was decorated. The chain is also an ideal length too.


The last item I saw was the cookie phone charm. Unfortunately I couldn't use this charm because I have an Iphone so it doesn't have anywhere to add a phone charm onto but I have used it to put onto my keys. I love adding key rings to my keys anyway so the charm added a sense of uniqueness to my keys. The charm was handmade as well and again looked so realistic. The texture on the cookie looked exact like a real cookie and I loved the way Izzy added the 'smarties' looking decals too the top.

Overall, I would definitely purchase of Izzy. She could probably hand make any charm or decal which is amazing. If I ever wanted something handmade for me, Izzy is definitely the first person I'd ask.

Your Tea Detox Review

Your Tea (@yourtea or @tinyteatox  on Instagram)
Tiny Tea Teatox (14 Days)
Price Varies depending on the length of time you want to use the tea (14 Days: £20.00)

A few weeks ago I was confirmed to be a promoter for 'Your Tea'. This tea is to help you lose weight naturally without using dodgy ingredients that could potientally harm you or make you ill. This tea uses herbal ingredients to reduce bloating and make you feel healthier.

Extract from the website about the tea I recieved:
My intricately balanced herbal blend will nourish and cleanse your digestive system, providing it the support it needs to replenish and restore back to its natural state. This cleanse will assist with reducing weight, easing bloating, increasing digestion functionality, improving skin clarity, increasing energy levels and alleviate issues associated with food intolerances. Formulated with Chinese medicine herbs and based upon Chinese medicinal principles, TinyTea is the only herbal cleanse on the market that does not produce a laxative effect


When I recieved my parcel it was packaged amazingly. It was wrapped in a bubble wrap packaging to prevent postal damage. Inside the package was a pretty brown boxwhich contained my tea. It contained a small booklet telling you information about the tea you recieved. Inside was 42 sachets of the special teabags. The teabags were attached to a string to you can hang out of your water when making the tea to make the teabag easier to remove.

I was so excited to try out this tea because I suffer with bad bloating and cramps so I was looking forward to see if it would help. I took one teabag out of the sachet and left it in the boiling water for 5 minutes as instructed. I tried the tea but unfortunately hated the taste. It's hard to explain the taste but you could tell it was herbal and tasted a bit like normal black tea. So I couldn't use this tea on myself because I couldn't bring myself to use it. I gave it to a family member who likes black tea and herbal tea to try this out. He had a try and loved the taste so I gave him the box. When he was mid-way into the tea detox I asked him how he felt and he said it made him feel a lot more healthier and he lost weight in result because his bloating went down dramatically.

Overall, I would have loved to have tried this because I have seen a lot of reviews of people's results after drinking and experienced a family members results but the taste just isnt for me.

Even Star Handmade Review

Jewellery Company
Price for choker in picture is £2.50 (plus £1 postage)
www.etsy.com/uk/shop/Evenstarhandmade/



Once I was confirmed as a sponsor to this company we started chatting over email. A lot of businesses chat over instagram or other ways so I found it professional how we chatted over email. The owner Beth was so lovely, she was easy to talk to and kind hearted. 

My item was sent 'First Class' so it arrived really quickly which I was happy about. It was packaged safely with a padded envelope to ensure there wouldn't be no breakages in the post. Inside the choker was enclosed in a purple organza bag and had a little note along side it.

The choker is so pretty! It has a plaited cord with an adjustable loop at the end to clip around your neck. The charm is so pretty and unique and it would look great with any outfit. This choker would look great worn casually with a plain coloured t-shirt or vest and a pair of jeans! 

Overall, I was very satisfied with my products I recieved from @evenstarhandmade and I would not hesitate to purchase an item off them in the future!
