Mummy Treats and Treasures

I'd say this is another new box for me but, actually, it's not.  I received a box from Pink Parcel in November too but didn't get a chance to write up about it. This box was received as part of an offer for 50% off and I have to say it's pretty amazing for even full price let alone on a deal like this! The box is aimed 100% at the female of the species being based around our monthly little friend, aiming to make a sucky part of the month just that little bit nicer!  After 30 months off due to pregnancy and then breastfeeding I have to say it's been extra welcome to have a little pick me up! The box arrived via Royal Mail, wrapped in a plastic outer so not only will it not get soaked during the rain but also my neighbours, who took in the delivery, had no idea what was inside!  Inside the packaging is classy and inviting.  The main box contains several different containers separating the sanitary items into day, night, before (a lovely little canvas bag containi...

I think Glossybox is the one box I've stuck with longer than all the others and that's quite possibly because I'm still finding uses for the majority of the products they supply.

(Remember, if you do want to unsubscribe from Glossybox, you need to do so by the 14th of the month or you'll automatically roll your subscription over another month - I'm hearing rumours that it's also a lot less painless a process if you pay through PayPal!)

Ok, so it's not really a malt-loaf, but it does have the characteristics of one whilst being a super easy recipe and much nicer, in my opinion, to those shop bought lunch box ones you can get (and much healthier!)  I've been experimenting with this recipe for several months now and think I've finally cracked it.  Would love to hear your thoughts if you decide to give it a go!
