Graze - Box #17

I received this box on Tuesday 21st July and it was yellow this time. My last box was blue so I am guessing it will be a different colour each time. The very old Graze boxes were just plain brown.

Here is what I received this time:-
Sweet Mustard Pretzel
- Sour cream and onion cashews, pretzel bites and mustard breadsticks (129kcal)
| Contains: Sesame Seeds, Gluten, Mustard, Milk & Tree Nuts |
The sour cream and onion cashews are not very nice in my opinion. They are quite sour, a little vinegary and then sweet. The pretzel bites are very nice and are only very slightly salted in taste. I love pretzels anyway! The mustard breadsticks do taste kind of sweet, the mustard isn’t too strong and I wouldn’t say that they taste spicy at all.
Lemon & Poppy Seed Cake with an Afternoon Blend
- Zingy lemon & poppy seed cake, paired with an afternoon infusion tea (79kcal)
| Contains: Gluten & Eggs |
I have had this packet before and it is my favourite Graze cake. It isn’t too lemon strong; I actually wish it tasted more lemony! The poppy seeds just add a little texture to the sponge. I’m still not overly keen on the tea as it smells herby and tastes like regular black tea with a kind of fruit kick. I find that black tea tastes dry and it is not for me. Flavoured/special teas are wasted on me; I only really like regular tea (Typhoo or PG Tips) with one sugar and a little semi-skimmed cow’s milk.
Smokehouse Veggie Protein Power
- Sweet chilli broad beans, hickory smoked almonds, almonds & roasted pumpkin seeds (171kcal)
| Contains: Tree Nuts, Soya & Gluten |
This is also a new packet to me, but I have obviously tried some of the snacks before in different packets. The sweet chilli broad beans have a slight crunch. They don’t have a really strong taste, they do taste sweet and you get the after taste of chilli, but I wouldn’t say they actually taste of chilli. The hickory smoked almonds are delicious, I got them in a packet in my last box and the regular plain almonds in this packet don’t really have much flavour. I definitely prefer the hickory smoked version. The roasted pumpkin seeds are very light and they do taste salty.
Spicy Sriracha Crunch
- Sriracha flavoured peas, salted corn & salted corn hoops (115kcal)
This too is a new packet that I haven’t tried before. The sriracha peas are quite crunchy. I have never have sriracha before and I can say from tasting these peas, I am not really a fan!. They do have a bit of spice, but it is bearable (I’ve had hotter curries). They also taste garlicky, which is why I am not a fan. These are a definite no and pass! I love salted corn, need I say more? The salted corn hoops taste nearly exactly the same as the salted corn, just less sweet. This was an ok packet, but I didn’t enjoy the peas.
There seemed to be something I didn’t really enjoy from each packet I received this time! I didn’t like the sour cream and onion cashews or sriracha peas and I wasn’t overly keen on the afternoon infusion tea or the roasted pumpkin seeds. I still enjoyed my packets overall and I am glad I got a cake. I can’t wait for my next box. I really want to try a Graze Cookie packet (fingers crossed)!

Escada Collector's Edition Gift Set

I’ve always been interested in trying Escada fragrances, but there are so many to choose from and I didn’t want to risk buying a full size bottle. I came across this little gift set whilst I was shopping online at Boots and clicked buy straight away! All four fragrances are in a tiny, but cute 4ml potion looking bottle. Here are the four scents you get to try:- TURQUOISE SUMMER This bottle is a turquoise/clear theme and contains the notes; pineapple, strawberry, raspberry, blackcurrant, peach, violet, orange blossom, vanilla, sandalwood and musk. It smells really strong of orange blossom and kind of like a car air freshener. It does linger quite a while on the skin, but it is not really a strong scent. Overall I don’t like this scent. It doesn’t really smell of anything to me and what you can smell isn’t what I would call pleasant. I give this perfume 1/5 . BORN IN PARADISE This bottle’s theme is the same as Turquoise Summer and contains the notes; green apple, watermelo...

Serial Sampler #41

An advertisement popped up on Facebook with an offer of a free sample of this new fragrance and I clicked straight away! I have previously tested the original scent of this fragrance line and I loved it, so I was also expecting to like this one.   It is Born In Roma Yellow Dream by Valentino and it is a 1.2ml spritzer sample of the eau de parfum.   “ A floral lift of a thousand rose petals, twisted with a new clean and fresh addiction. ” Launched: 2021   Type: Floral / Feminine (Donna) Notes Top: Italian Lemon. Middle: Rose Essence. Base: Clean Accord and White Musks. This is a very soft and delicate floral scent with a fresh musk hint. It is definitely more floral smelling than the original Born In Roma fragrance. I can’t really detect the Italian Lemon. I can pick-up a fruity sort of hint, but it definitely isn’t lemon to me. I can detect the very light Rose Essence and White Musk and it does smell like a clean scent. It smells like a lovely spring day to me. I w...
