Hey Happiness Review
With Christmas shopping on a lot of peoples minds at this time of year I try to shop around and support smaller brands when it comes to the gifts I buy. One such brand I have recently come across is Happiness Boutique and I’ve been lucky enough to receive a couple of pieces from them to really see what their service is like, especially being a company that isn’t based in England. In case you haven’t heard of Happiness Boutique, they’re a fashion jewellery brand based in Berlin. They pride themselves on being a happy soulful brand bringing you statement pieces with real meaning behind them. They wanted accessories that…

Where Amy Ate – The Botanist, Newcastle
A few weeks back when we went adventuring to Newcastle, we had lunch in The Botanist on our second day. Prior to setting out I had googled “Places to Eat in Newcastle with Kids” and I came across a post by Samantha of North East Family Fun that helped me decide on The Botanist. I’d already heard some great stories about it from my non parent friends but I wasn’t sure it would be child friendly, how wrong was I? The Botanist is situated in Monument Mall and you can find the entrance opposide Waterstones. I 100% recommend you take the lift, Little Miss and I underestimated the amount of…

Tsum Tsum Vinyl Collection Review
LINKS REMOVED AS ITEMS NO LONGER FOR SALE Little Miss has been collecting Tsum Tsum’s for a good few years, mainly the small plush ones but since we went to Florida in March, Little Miss has been into the vinyl ones or squishy ones. They’re small enough she can play with them in her dolls house or carry them around in her little bags. Until recently the only ones that have been available in the UK are the squishy ones but over the last couple of months we’ve finally got the Vinyl ones that Little Miss loved so much while we were away so of course we’ve really started collecting…

Shopping Spotlight – Magical Things
One of my favourite things about Disney becoming so mainstream is the abundance of creative people who are able to make more and more unique Disney products available to buy. As we all know Little Miss loves Peter Pan and Wendy but there isn’t that much merchandise available especially of Wendy and especially for children. If it wasn’t for these creative people and platforms such as Etsy, Little Miss wouldn’t have a Wendy dress, we would be seriously lacking in Peter Pan art work and we’d struggle to find shirts and accessories of our favourite character and film. Because of this I am a huge supporter of small businesses that…

What Little Miss Read July & August (and a Giveaway!)
So, the summer holidays are over already, can you believe it? I can’t. It just seems like 5 minutes since they started. We actually had a fairly busy summer, lots of quality time together which I’m so thankful for. Little Miss is still enjoying a story before bed (most nights) so we have some new books that we read over the summer to share with you all this instalment of What Little Miss Read. Pom Pom is Super by Sophy Henn* Everyone’s favourite little panda is back with his third story, Pom Pom is Super. Although this is the first Pom Pom book we have ever come across I’m fairly…

Dermalogica Sebum Clearing Masque From Pure Beauty Review*
Well this is a rarity! A beauty post on Cocktails in Teacups, they haven’t made a regular occurrence for a good year now. Mainly due to the fact that since going to Disney became such a huge part of our life beauty went out the window. Of course I still wear make up, wash my hair, clean my face, I just use high street products or something from my stash. Plus, lets face it, I was never very good at the whole beauty reviews anyway! But a few weeks back the kind people at Pure Beauty sent me over a masque to try, hopefully it was going to be that…
