Dog sitting

About a year ago we offered to dog sit for Mr. Specials friend, only for the weekend. It was awful :O The dog was about a year old big energetic labradoodle. Jesus christ. Mr. Special took it for a walk all the way up penglais hill and back, about an hour and a half and the dog came back just as energetic as ever. Are you going to take me for a walk or not? Then at night it kept crying if we left him in the kitchen and barking when we let him be in our bedroom whenever someone would walk in the courtyard...

Did I mention we are not allowed to have pets according to the tenancy agreement?

Mr. Special is still having nightmares about it.

So when I said one of my friends is going away for a week and needs someone to look after her dog, he wasn't too happy about. But this time it was an old dog who barely ever made a sound. A perfect (illegal) dog for us? And he was bless him. But on the second day of us having it Mr. Special took it for a lunch time walk and bumped into one of the letting agents.... F****** perfect... Apparently there is a man living upstairs who has a severe dog allergy and we need to get rid asap!

Mr. Special was shitting himself :D even looking to book into a dog friendly hotel for a couple of nights, before the weekend when we could breathe easy - no office hours ;). But that would have been ridiculous... So we got the friends friend to take the dog for the rest of the time.

And you know what? All the agent (who even rang up that first day to check we would get rid of the dog) did was come to the courtyard and ask Mr. Special "is it done?"!!!!!! WTF?!?! That dog could've perfectly have been sleeping in the other room while that convo took place... FFS!

Ttyl ;)

My little box summer edition

When I saw a review of the May box I knew I wanted this box too. I mean, it has French origins and delivers a variety of beauty products each month. So exciting! So I subscribed instantly and got the June box a couple of days later. Crazy fast.

Just my luck to get the worst one first :D If only I had looked at reviews before subscribing - not good :D
The box is super cute though



In that box were: 
  • Kusmi tea Ice tea sachet, haven't tried yet...
  • A see-through blue bikini bag that is quite cool. I use it for all the pretty-small bottles and make up stuff I have for travelling :)
  • a mini nail polish - the perfect blue-greenish-mint colour but the quality is crap!
  • a vest top that is one size and actually fits me :D 
  • glitter eye shadow... yeap... not using...
  • hair sea salt spray with UV filters - haven't used it yet but am optimistic about it at least :D (read from a review that it's supposed to give volume... Why haven't I used it yet!)
  • a little magazine of girly stuff :D



Overall not the greatest start for me :D and was slowly starting to think I wasted my money on it but decided to wait for the next one before cancelling (if).



And omg the next one was the best: COCONUT!
I looooooooooove coconut :)


Like the box alone is sooo cool 
(I might have an obsession with boxes)

Insides were so much better this time too :)
  • Magazine again, coconut themed
  • Passport cover - all I need now is a passport...
  • Small bracelet that just fits around my wrist :) Cute and not too extravagant :) Plus I like that I got the blue version and not the red one :)
  • a dotted sash bag
  • Yves Rocher noix de coco eau de toilette - smells sooooo nice
  • Ojon rare blend oil moisture therapy 
  • Hand cleansing gel that actually smells like coconut too
  • After sun cream :)
Whats not to love?





How can they possibly follow that?
With the Friends box (sorry the photos are upside down :D I have to restart my comp if I want them rotated apparently :D don't ask)





  • Sweet and salty propercorn popcorn that Mr. Special immediately hid away from me
  • A clip on fish eye camera lens! OMG so cool 
  • A nail care product pouch. Always handy to have with me and looks super cute :) 
  • Banana-mango scented face cream... not too sure about the scent :/
  • Batiste hair spray
  • A sash bag to keep all that in :)
  • A magazine again obvs

Can't wait for the next one already! :)
