Hallo!

Welcome to my brand new blog, thank you for stopping by for a look! This site accompanies my instagram account binksbzz to give more in-depth reviews to the products, items, places I consume, use and visit.

BinksBzz was conceived upon my successful application to become a Bzz Agent. I realised that I'd started to unconsciously review and recommend things on my instagram account before I'd signed up to Bzz and this wasn't really what I wanted that account to be for. With this in mind separating out to a different account seemed a good way to go.

So I hope if you've wandered over here you like what I have to say and want to hear more about my experiences. I'm truthful to a fault so everything you read will be my own experience, good or bad (although most likely in a diplomatic way, I will never be mean about anything or anyone!)

Please do introduce yourself to me, I'd love to hear your experiences with the things I review too :-)

Artemis and Xena

So, in my quest to find the perfect subscription box, this month I decided to give a little known box called Artemis and Xena a go. At first glance I'd dismissed this one as it appeared to be aimed more at a younger teen market and, sadly, I'm very much not in that demographic these days! However I kept coming back to it as it looked like it might meet my desire for a little bit of everything. My experiences with Treatbox and Birchbox had taught me that I don't like just getting makeup (which rules out so many boxes!) but do like getting a bit (which rules out Treatbox); I like getting a little something to eat, a bit of jewellery, a bit of stationary... Yeah, I'm pretty fussy really aren't I?!? A & X looked like it might have this heady mix. It didn't disappoint! At the beginning of the month I have to admit I got a little nervous, my box was late despite a prompt dispatch notice on the first of the month and I began to wonder if I'd been draw...

Spoilabox - July 2017

I can hardly believe it's July already, well 7th July as I write this! The months are really flying by this year and as they do my monthly treats are stacking up.  It was with great anticipation that my Spoilabox arrived again this week, particularly as it arrived amid a truly challenging day! This is the second month of my subscription to Spoilabox and also only their second month so I'm still very much surprised by what they contain.  It's lovely having absolutely no idea what's coming (bar the odd spoiler of course!) and, yet again, I'm thoroughly pleased with both the contents and the service.  The box was dispatched on almost the first day of the month and arrived without hassle via My Hermes who this time left it in my meter cupboard (a whole day earlier than they had estimated, bonus!).  Again the contents was well packaged with a sturdy cardboard outer shell and a pretty tissue paper wrap inside.  All the products arrived intact with no damage which...

Spoilabox - August 2017

I'd hoped to have been writing this to you at the beginning of the August but, as is typical, my Spoilabox was delivered about an hour after we set off on holiday! So disappointing as I'd been expecting it several days earlier but a nice surprise to return to after the holiday blues set in! A post shared by Amy Elizabeth (@mummytreatsandtreasures) on Sep 1, 2017 at 1:54pm PDT This is actually my last box from them for a while, as one of the more expensive boxes (when you take into account the hefty delivery fee) I just can't justify the outlay in the run up to Christmas. I had thought I would keep this one and unsubscribe from Glossybox but I'm actually really enjoying their boxes at the moment (and they're cheaper!) So, as an aside, I can confirm that unsubscribing from Spoilabox is nice and easy (provided you turn your mobile browser to desktop view!) Handy if you're dipping your toes into their water's as it comes with no hidden hurdles....
