Graze - Box #1

Use this code for a FREE box: 3L3RDY3 (you must not already be a member to use this code) http://www.graze.com/

Graze is a website where you can purchase a weekly snack box, which contains healthy treats, such as, nuts and crackers. I say weekly but you can order as many as you want a week, apart from boxes are not sent for or on Sundays. Also if you want the fresh bread you can only order from Tuesday to Saturday. You get four different food items in every box unless you state you want the same thing to be sent out again.
The package came this morning in a biodegradable recycled board box. When you open the box there are four sections and each has a packet of healthy food samples. Underneath the sections there is a napkin. Each food comes in a small plastic box/packet, with a plastic film lid, which you peel to open. You also get a healthy food guide and some offer vouchers for your friends. All of the packaging is recyclable, so it is very earth friendly. I quite like the packaging because it is simple and displays all of the relevant information, but is also fully recyclable, which is definitely a bonus point.

Here’s what I received....
And a closer look at all four....
Lightly Toasted Pistachios
“Slightly toasted whole pistachios”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1008/nuts

They smell like they usually do, lovely. And they don’t really taste any different to regular pistachios, but slightly saltier, which is really nice.

Contains: Pistachio nuts and salt
Naked Goodness Seeds
“Pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds and sunflower seeds”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1011/seeds

They smell like seeds obviously, and slightly like uncooked rice seed. They do not taste very nice on their own, as it is like eating bird food, so I recommend that you use them in a salad.

Contains: Pumpkins seeds, Sesame seeds and Sunflower seeds
Cracking Black Peppercorn
“Crunchy rice crackers with cracked black pepper”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers

They smell really nice and like black pepper and very crackery (if that’s a word). They actually smell quite spicy too. They taste a bit like ‘Snack a Jacks’ but spicy. As you take the last bite of the cracker you get the spicy black pepper taste all at once, which is actually quite pleasant.

Contains: Rice, Vegetable oil, Soy sauce (soybean, wheat, salt), Sugar, Tapioca starch, Corn maltodextrin, Chilli, black pepper, Garlic powder and Onion powder
Cheddar Gorge
“Cheese cashews, salsa corn sticks & herb crackers”
http://www.graze.com/products/browse/1014/crackers

The packet as a whole smells really spicy.

The cheese cashews have a slight and subtle cheesy scent and taste a bit like cream cheese sauce.

The salsa corn sticks smell like really spicy corn, funnily enough! They taste spicy and quite salty too and also like salted tortilla chips/crisps.

The herb crackers have a slight herb scent, but it’s not over powering. They taste a bit odd and like herbs and the texture is also quite weird and a bit like popcorn, but they are nice.

The Cheese Cashews Contain: Cashew nuts, Lactose, Salt, Natural flavourings, Onion powder, Sugar, Yeast extract, Garlic powder, Cheese powder (cheese, whey powder), Paprika, Curcumin, Sunflower oil and Rosemary
The Salsa Corn Sticks Contain: Corn, Vegetable oil, Lactose, Natural chilli flavour, Chilli powder, Onion powder, Garlic powder, Salt and Citric acid

The Herb Crackers Contain: Rice, Rice bran oil, Sugar, Tapioca starch, Soy sauce (soybean, wheat, tapioca starch, caramel), Salt, Tomato, Oregano, Onion, Pepper, Disodium guanylate and Disodium inosinate

My favourites from the box are the Lightly Toasted Pistachios, Cracking Black Peppercorns and the Salsa Corn Sticks. I would not try the Naked Goodness Seeds again because I am not crazy about seeds or salad and they don’t really serve any purpose to me.

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...

Haul: Recent Purchases #3

I just wanted to share with you a few naughty purchases and I’m sure these won’t be the last of this month! From FeelUnique.com I finally got my hands on the Juicy Couture Duo Spray Set , which includes two 7.5ml purse sprays of Viva La Juicy La Fleur and Viva La Juicy . I also bought the Urban Decay Nirvana Build Your Own Quad Palette , as I eventually plan on buying some single UD eyeshadows and need somewhere cute to house them. Lastly, after deciding against the purchase, I listened to the little devil on my shoulder and got theBalm Balmsai Palette . From AllBeauty.com I bought a bigger size of the DKNY Be Delicious Fresh Blossom Perfume (50ml). I am still working my way through the 30ml, but I just couldn’t pass on the sale discount and I love the scent. I also decided to buy a 30ml bottle of Britney Spears Curious Perfume . It was so inexpensive and I wanted to own the fragrance again. I nearly bought the 100ml as it was equally inexpensive, but I haven’t smelled the...
