Love With Food: May 2017

I don't know about you, but I am so thankful that it is finally spring. We had a few weeks of constant rain not too long ago, and I thought I was going to go crazy if I didn't get a bit of sun. I've finally gotten my wish, and the weather ha been absolutely gorgeous. I'm spending more time outside now, and my mood has definitely improved. Who knew that weather could effect your mood so much?

Anyway, I was on my way home from a walk when I spotted my Love With Food box on my doorstep. Needless to say, I was pretty pumped. This month's theme is Savor Every Moment. I'm going to switch things up this month and list everything in the box below. Enjoy!

Home: Room Sprays

I'm a scents person. I like for things to smell nice and fresh, and work hard to ensure that where I live is just that. Room sprays are my favorite way to keep things smelling good. I have quite a collection of sprays that I use, and thought I would share my favorites with you today.

My absolute favorite spray I have ever purchased is the Primark Home White Tea Room Spray. Tea is one of my top favorite scents, and this makes my room smell like a delicious cup of sweet tea. It also has some floral notes that balance everything out, and leave my bedroom smelling so freaking good. The spray is pretty cheap too, and I am still using the bottle that I bought last year since I only need about 3 sprays to really make my room smell nice. The spray comes in a glass bottle with a wooden lid, and it feels way more expensive than it actually is, which my high maintenance self appreciates. 

A recently favorite of mine is the Febreze ONE Fabric and Air Mist* in Mandarin. This is a brand new product from Febreze that doesn't have any aerosols, dyes, or heavy perfumes. I absolutely love the Mandarin scent. It smells like a tropical paradise, and allows me to pretend that I am actually on a tropical island. I spritz this on the couch and my comforter whenever I want to give it a bit of a pick me up. I may or may not have also sprayed this on a pair of funky smelling boots I own and it totally worked to make them not smell like death.

My final room spray is actually an aromatherapy spray that is meant to be used on the face or body, but I'm a rule breaker. It's the Happy Spritz Breathe Deeply. I tend to be an anxious person, and I have found that aromatherapy sprays and oils really do help me to calm down and relax at night. There was a time about two months ago where I couldn't sleep at all. I started spraying my pillow with this spray, and I would fall asleep almost instantly. The calming peppermint and eucalyptus scent helps my brain settle down, and allows me to sleep through the night. I am actually surprised that I like this as much as I do, because I typically don't like eucalyptus. 

Let me know in a comment below if you have a favorite spray for your house. I'm always on the lookout for new scents to try. Until next time! Xo

MiamMiam Box: April 2017

Bonjour! Okay, I'll stop pretending like I know French now. I attempted to dust off some of my French skills today because I'm going to be reviewing a French food box! Yes, you heard me right, a subscription box filled with yummy treas from France! I've been trying different food subscription services for awhile now, and international boxes are my favorite. I found out about MiamMiam after reading an article on Buzzfeed that they were featured in. I decided to give them a try for a month to see what they are all about. Fun fact; MiamMiam translates in English to 'yum yum'. How cute!

MiamMiam comes in three sizes: mini, orignial, and maxi. They also have an organic box and a candy box. I opted for the original box this time around. Each box is said to include the latest and tastiest treats from France that legit French people eat. I'm sold. They also have a shop on their website where you can buy products that are included in the boxes.

My MiamMiam arrived in an adorable yellow, blue, and white geometric designed box with the company's logo in red.  They included a recipe card in the box for Easter cookies, which is a fun touch. They also include a little booklet that let's you know more information about what you received in the box. This will come in handy for me since I didn't apply myself in school, and my French is extremely rusty. I will write a quick blurb about each item I received in the box below. Enjoy!

Haribo Soft Dragibus: I was on board with this box the second I saw that they included Haribo. These are an exclusive with MiamMiam. They look kind of like button shaped jelly beans. I like jelly beans, so I'm sure I will like these. Side note, did anyone else think of a dragon when they read dragibus? Just me?

TUC: These look like big crackers to me. I had to look at the card for this one since I can't tell if they are savory or sweet. The booklet says that they are, " crunchy and melting at the same time".

Pépitos Pépites: How stinking cute are these mini chocolate chip sponge cakes? The package comes with 5 mini cakes, which is a lot compared to other food subscription services. These would make a cute little dessert after dinner.

Chabrior Palets Brentons: I absolutely love butter cookies. They go really well with chai tea as an afternoon snack. These cookies look really yummy, and will be perfect for dunking!

Bahlsen Pick Up!: Who doesn't love chocolate? A Pick Up! is milk chocolate between two cookies. I think I'll save this when I'm looking for a sweet treat.

Brownie Blanc: Unfortunately, this isn't in the photo above. My sister and I already couldn't help ourselves and tried this before I could get a photo. It was freaking delicious. It wasn't too sweet, and both of us could not stop talking about how good it was.

Well, that's everything! I have to admit, this is a pretty cool subscription box. I haven't been able to travel the world just yet, but boxes like this let me feel like I have. All of the items look wicked yummy, and I like how they only include full sized products. Not a tiny sample in the whole box. This is such a cool concept.

Until next time! Xo
