Hacks for Surviving a Long Haul Flight with a Small Child*
In 50 days I’ll be embarking on my forth long haul flight to Walt Disney World with a child under 5 as a single parent. The first time I flew long haul (also the second time I flew with Little Miss) she was barely three. She turned three at the end of January and we flew the beginning of April. I know I had people tell me I was crazy, that I’d regret it when people were giving me “that look” when she couldn’t settle or ended up bored an hour in. Guess what? It never happened. In fact, as of yet it’s still never happened. Two of our flights…

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.

Betty Spaghetty Mix Match Style Doll Review
Twenty years ago Betty Spaghetty was a huge hit of a toy with my little sister and her cousin and I have to admit she wasn’t one I ever saw making her a come back due to being.. well just being so 90s. With her jelly band material hair, the beads and brightly coloured clothes, she really was the epitome of a 90s toy and Little Miss does enjoy playing with the box of dolls that belonged to her Aunts, but never did I ever see her owning one! But hey, guess what she does, and I’m here to tell you all about Betty. Have you heard about Betty? Betty…

Harry Potter and the Cursed Child First Thoughts
I’m not really one for book reviews these days, I tried to do them but found it impossible to do them spoiler free. So I’m going to say now, this is NOT SPOILER FREE, so if you haven’t read Harry Potter and the Cursed Child yet, don’t read on any further because I’ll end up ruining it for you. This is my personal opinions and thoughts on the latest (and apparently last) instalment of the Harry Potter saga. As an introduction I’m going to give you a few bits of information.

Caketoppers Review
Cake in the mail? I’m there. This morning I was awoken by the dreaded knock of the postman at 8am and normally that would put me in a bad mood for the rest of the day however not today as today I could have cake for breakfast thanks to Caketoppers! Last week Caketoppers emailed me asking if I would like to review a couple of cupcakes with an edible printed image of my choosing on top, and as I can never say no to cake and desserts, I agreed and I’m so glad! I received a Logo Cupcake Sample* which is two cupcakes for £5 including post. A bargain really!…
