August 2017 Fairyloot Unboxing and Review| CarenzaOnBooks

I'm really sad that this is my last Fairyloot review for a while as I've had to cancel my subscription. But, that aside, this was one of my favourite boxes and it makes me so happy to see them grow as a company.

The theme for Augusts box was Other Worlds and this is probably my favourite design of theirs.












The first item was a exclusive Witchsoul candle from Book and Nook. I got Anais, which smelss of Coco, Cardamon and Fig. I'm not 100% sure if I like the scent, but I am happy that I finally got to try and Book and Nook candle.










The next item was this gorgeous exclusive sleep mask designed by Fairyloot themselves. It feels really nice on the skin and makes it easier to sleep, if like me, you can't sleep unless the room is pitch black. It matches the aesthetic the Oven Glove from last months box.

Then there was this exclusive Velaris Pendant made by Oh Panda Eyes. I'm not as big a fan of Sarah J Maas as I used to be, but I love this necklace. It has a vintage style to it and it is something I'm probably going to wear.










Probably my favourite item in the box was this Westeros Tea Strainer designed by Fairyloot. As someone who doesn't drink tea, this item isn't that useful to me. But as a lover of novelty items, this is great. You pull the hilt of the sword of and put your tea inside. My parents have already made claims on this as they are tea people.

Then there is this super cute Neverland notebook designed by TJ Lubrano. I've been following her for a while on Instagram and have been dying to try her products. While I love this notebook, I do wish that it had been lined rather than blank as I can't write in a straight line.









The next item are these exclusive Lord of the Rings magnetic bookmarks from Paperly & Co. There were three sets you could have received and I got Arwen and Aragorn. I would have preferred Frodo and Samwise, but these are super cute and I love adding magnetic bookmarks to my collection.








The final item is this exclusive Northern Lights print by Melissa Nettleship. I love prints that don't have quotes on and this really fits my aesthetic at the moment. It's giving me major wanderlust and makes me want to see the Northern Lights in person.









The book for August's book was Wicked Like A Wildfire by Lana Popovic. I've been dying to read this book and I'm hoping to get to it this month. Is the cover not stunning?











As always there is a signed book plate and letter from the author.













And here is my reading buddy hashtag for the month of August.













Another beautiful Fairyscoop that I'm going to read and enjoy.













I love that Fairyloot includes these matching bookmarks, I'm going to miss collecting them.













And finally, the promotional items for some up and coming books.













I'm sad that my subscription has come to an end, but I have loved every single box I have received. I can't wait to see what they include in their future boxes.

Tsum Tsum Collection 2016| It'sCarenzaB

Hey guys!
How are you?
So this is my very first blog post since May and I thought I'd do something fun and something I have wanted to do for a while was a Tsum Tsum collection. If you've followed my blog for a while, then you will know I have an unhealthy addiction to Tsum Tsum. If you're sat, reading this thinking "what are Tsum Tsums?", I'll fill you in.

Tsum Tsums (meaning stack stack in Japanese)  are a Disney toy that originated in Japan. Due to there popularity, they were introduced in the UK and the USA. They are bean bag sized toys and every month, Disney releases two  collections- one Disney themed and one Marvel/Star Wars themed. I will link a really cool blog that is dedicated to Tsum Tsum here.

I have been collecting Tsum Tsum since May 2015 and it's safe to say, my collection has grown quite a bit. So if you're interested in Tsum Tsum and all things Japan, then this post is for you.

Classics

Micky Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Winnie the Pooh, Tigger, Eyore, Piglet and Marie
This was the first set of Tsums I bought (bar Minnie), I bought these in May 2015 on a trip to Blackpool. It was a very rainy day and I was ill, so I decided to treat myself to my first ever Tsums. These might be my favourites as they were my first ever ones I bought and have sentimental value.

101 Dalmatians

Cruella de Vil and Patch
So this is my very small collection of the 101 Dalmatians set. I have Cruella de Vil and Patch, but there are also two other dogs in this set but I quite like having one dog.

Aladdin

Top Row: Aladdin and Jasmine
Bottom Row: Genie, Raj and Iago
From this set I am missing The Sultan, Jaffar and Abu. I really love this set as Aladdin is one of my favourite Disney movies and they captured the characters so well.

Alice in Wonderland

White Rabbit and Mad Hatter
So I am missing loads from this set and I haven't been able to find them. The one I want to find the most is the Cheshire Cat as he is so cute. I love the Mad Hatter as he does look really mad!

Avengers

Iron Man, Captain America and Spider Man 
Again, I am missing some from this set, but the ones I do have I really like. I think Captain America is my favourite because I love that he has his shield.


Cinderella

Figaro (he's from Pinocchio but I accidentally put him in the Cinderella set)
Fairy Godmother, Jaq and Lucifer 
So in this photo I accidentally included Figaro from Pinocchio- oops!
But this set is also one of my smaller ones, the Fairy Godmother is from eBay and the other two are from Clintons, which is a really good place to buy Tsum Tsum.


Frozen

Top Row: Sven and Olaf
Bottom Row: Kristoff, Anna and Hans
I am only missing one from this set and that is Elsa. My favourite from this set has to be Sven because he looks so cute and is really cheeky!

Guardians of the Galaxy

Top Row: Peter Quill/Star Lord and Gamora
Bottom Row: Groot, Rocket and Drax
This is a set were I have all the characters! My favourite is Groot because of his tree hair quiff and they all look amazing! Usually Tsums are really squishy, but these ones are quite dense.

Lion King

Top Row: Pumba and Timon
Bottom Row: Rafiki, Muffasa and Zazu
I am missing some from this set and I got these from Clintons. I really wish I had the whole set as Lion King is one of my favourite Disney movies ever. Rafiki and Pumba are from the Disney store.

Little Mermaid 


Ursula and Flounder 
Again, a set were I am missing quite a few. Can we take a moment to appreciate how cute Flounder is? Also Ursula has little octopi feet! I love the attention to detail.

Nightmare Before Christmas

Top Row: Sally, Jack Skellington, Zero
Bottom Row: Lock, Barrel, Shock and Vampire Teddy
This is a set were I have almost all of them, the only one I am missing is Sandy Clause. I love them so much as this was one of the first sets I got. Zero is definatlly my favourite.

Odds'n'Sods

Baymax and Dumbo
So these are Tsums that don't have any other Tsums in their sets. Figaro should also be here as I forgot to put him in this photo. They're both so cute and I really want to watch Big Hero Six now I have a Baymax Tsum.

Peter Pan

Top Row:  Tic Toc Croc and John Darling
Bottom Row: Peter Pan, Micheal Darling and Mr Smee
This is a set that is almost complete as I only have 3 more Tsums to collect. My favourite is John Darling because his hat is so big and it makes me laugh.

Snow White

Doc, Grumpy and Dopey  
This is a set were I am missing quite a few, but I love the ones I have as they are all adorable. I do have to admit that I love Dopey the most.

Star Wars

Top Row: Chewbacca and Han Solo
Bottom Row: Darth Vader, Yoda, R2D2 and C3PO
This has to be one of the coolest sets out there as it has all the classic Star Wars characters. I love the droids as they are made of this really shiny material, but Chewie is my favourite because he is so fluffy! Also Yoda has fluff behind his ears, which is really cool.

Toy Story 

Stinky Pete, Buzz Lightyear and Lotso  
This is the final set I have and one of my smallest. I actually bought Buzz recently from Asda as I had been looking for it for a while.

So that is the end of this post, I hope you guys liked it. Also I have a quick announcement and that is that I have decided to make Book Review Monday a weekly feature instead of a biweekly feature. I can't wait to improve my reviews and this means that at the end of the month, I can do a discussion on my YouTube of my favourite book of the month.

All my social media links are in the page called About Me, so if you want to follow me on Instagram or Twitter you can find out my name there.

Love,
