Samsonite Disney Ultimate 4 Wheel Spinner Case Review
If you’re an avid reader of Cocktails in Teacups, you’ll know I declared this year as the year of Disneyland Paris. As the months go on we do miss Florida terribly but we are making some fab memories on our trips to DLP. So far we’ve managed 3 this year thanks to our annual passes, with another 3 to go (and possibly one in January before our pass expires). Our favourite way to travel is via Eurostar which involves an almost 4 hour journey to London then almost 3 across however by taking the Eurostar we do arrive right into the gates of DLP which is a huge bonus. Flying…

CaseCompany CityMarble Review
A few weeks I was invited by CaseCompany to have a go at designing a new phone case using their trademarked CityMarble technology. I thought it looked fun and as an avid traveller it sounded like something that would be right up my street. I was unfamiliar with CaseCompany but after a quick look at their website I decided that creating my own case was going to be simple & quick so I went ahead with it. According to the people behind CityMarble; CityMarble™ is a new and original way to design and customise your smartphone case. You can create your own patterns with maps (like Google Maps) and print…

TV Show Tie In Toys My Daughter Loves
I’m not going to lie, TV has always been a particularly large part of my daughter’s childhood. As I’m self employed I’ve always needed those few hours every day to do some form of work or admin and although I don’t believe in letting TV be a substitute parent, she does watch it at least once a day. Because of this a lot of the toys my daughter has enjoyed playing with over the years have been part of the merchandise promotion for kids TV shows. She’s had In The Night Garden Toys, and Mister Maker Art Sets, Ben & Hollie’s Little Kingdom figures and she even went through a…

5 Things I Have Learned During the 2017 General Election
This is my first (and perhaps only) political post on Cocktails in Teacups. The reason why I’m writing it is because this is so far the biggest election of my time and although I’ve been eligible to vote twice prior to this time, I’ve only voted once back in 2010. I didn’t vote in 2015 as I felt all the parties were similar and I was so disillusioned. However, this snap election announced in April by Prime Minister Theresa May (a PM none of the public voted for) is going to be a turning point for the UK and the policies will vastly affect the future of the country, including…

5 Reasons Why Sometimes I Take an Unscheduled Blogging Break
You may or may not have noticed that last week I only posted once. As someone who posts every single day like clock work I do often worry how my views will be affected if I don’t post, but sometimes I just need to take a break. In September I will have been blogging for 5 years, blogging at Cocktails in Teacups anyway. Prior to this blog I had a couple of others that I posted to sporadically and I certainly didn’t class myself as a blogger. I started blogging as I needed a hobby, I didn’t think it would actually stick, but here I am. My blog is now…

5 Fun Things We Did in London, May 2017
The weekend before we headed off to Disneyland Paris for a few days, Little Miss and I spent some time in London. This is the second time this year we’ve spent time in our capital city and I think LM loves it more with each visit. This time we had Saturday, Sunday and Monday there and although some of our time was spent with friends, we did have some time to please ourselves and explore. I’m hoping to head back during the summer to do some more exploring. Today I’m sharing 5 of the things we got up to during our visit this time, it seemed better than doing a…
