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…

Lelli Kelly School Shoes at Jake Shoes Review
I can’t believe we’re almost half way through Little Miss’ last term of her first year at school. Although I’m so excited that I’ll have her off for a whole 6 weeks, I know during that time I’ll have to think about buying her new school uniform during that time. A stress and expense every parent dreads! At the moment with Little Miss being in the lower end of school the only thing I need to get that’s branded is her school jumper or cardigan, everything else can be unbranded which does save money. However LM does so much crafting at school I need to have at least 3 cardigans,…

Tales As Old As Time Afternoon Tea at The Kensington Hotel Review
On Monday 22nd May I took the train down to London to have afternoon tea with my best friend Bee. Not just any afternoon tea, because why would we go all the way to London for that? No, we went to have the almost famous Beauty and the Beast inspired afternoon tea at The Kensington Hotel. The Tales as Old as Time afternoon tea is held in The Town House at The Kensington Hotel, it’s possibly the most coveted afternoon tea in the country at the moment and we were lucky to get a booking for May only the week before Bee’s birthday. I hear it’s now completely booked up…

John Frieda 7 Day Luxurious Volume Range Review
It’s been a while since my last beauty review, but I’m well and truly into the parenting groove these days. I pretty much live without make up on, dry shampooing my hair for about a week while wearing leggings and oversized t-shirts or sweaters on a daily basis. Now I have the daily school run at 8:25 each day looking half decent is right out the window. Especially since LM isn’t the most motivated of children in the morning. Fear not, I have a review of a fab range from John Frieda today that has basically finally solved a hair problem that’s been plaguing me for the last year. In…

Getting Through Chicken Pox with ViraSoothe*
Remember I mentioned that Little Miss had chicken pox over Easter and I was going to write about it, well here we go. As a parent one of the of childhood viruses you’re constantly on the look out for is the chicken pox. Every parent wants their child to get it but at the same time, they dread it because the amount of work can be daunting. I vaguely remember having chicken pox as a child. I was 7 or 8 and I remember my cheeks being bright red and itchy. I also remember the week off school and the fact we watched ET for the first time. LM fell…
