A Belated March 2017 Favourites| It'sCarenzaB

So this month, I am bringing you my March Favourites a tiny bit late. Why? I hear you ask. It's a bit late as recently I haven't been in the mood to blog and I only want to put posts on here that I am proud of. For a while, I have been in this routine to rush posts so at least I'll have posted something. That stops from now on. I am going to be making a separate post about some changes that will be coming your way soon. But, anyway, March Favourites. I have a couple of favourites for March, most of which have been cultural favourites. 

March Favourites 2017

Books

Now, while I had an exceptionally good reading month in March, most of the books I read were either for college or books I didn't enjoy. I do have a favourite book and also a favourite script, which ties in with a culture favourite.

My favourite book of the month was Fangirl by Rainbow Rowell. I had been dying to read this for a while and my friend and I were buddy reading Carry On, but I hadn't read Fangirl. I think I read this in about a week (which for me at the moment, is very impressive). I absolutely loved this book. I have been in a big contemporary mood lately, so this was the perfect book to read. I will be reviewing it soon.






My script favourite is Snow in Midsummer by Frances Ya-Chu Cowhig. I'll go into more detail about why I loved the play in my Culture section. The script was slightly different from the play and it was interesting reading it between the times I saw the play.









Culture

As I was just talking about it, let's keep on talking about Snow in Midsummer. I kid you not, I saw this play 3 times. I absolutely loved it. The cast, the set, the music, the plot- everything was incredible. If I could, I would have seen it more than 3 times. As cheesy as it sounds, I can't put into words how much I love this play.

A certain highly anticipated live action Disney film came out in March. Beauty and the Beast has been widely accepted as a very good adaptation and most people seem to love. I love it. Beauty and the Beast is my favourite Disney film and the live action version lived up to my expectations. I have been listening to the sound track a lot and I have to say that my favourite song is Evermore.

Bits'n'Bobs


My only Bits'n'bobs favourite are the Beauty and the Beast Tsum Tsums. You guys know I love Tsum Tsums, so add my favourite Disney film to one of the things I collect, it makes me very happy.













So that concludes my favourites for March. I'm debating stopping these posts as I don't feel as though they go with my other posts.
Love,

March Fairyloot Review| It'sCarenzaB

Hey Guys!
How are you?

As we're almost half way through the month, I'm positive it's safe to post my March Fairyloot review. The March box was my absolute favourite they sent out as it was their anniversary box. I'm so proud of how far Fairyloot has come and I've been following them since they've started. If you haven't received your box, then do not read this review.

March Fairyloot- Contains Spoilers

So as you can see, there is lots in the box. The grey backdrop I used is actually a scarf that was included in the box. It was created exclusively by GivArt. It's really nice quality and goes with pretty much everything. 










 For the first time, Fairyloot included fairy lights. These amazing Unicorn and Cloud fairy lights were made by Mustard.












 My favourite item in the box was this candle made exclusively by Geeky Clean. It smells like Black Cherry and Lime, which reminds me of a summer fizzy drink. I'm so sad that this is exclusive as I love this scent. 










This is the second time (since I subscribed last September) that Fairyloot has included a pocket mirror. It was designed exclusively by Book Otter. I'm not the biggest fan of pocket mirrors, but the artwork is beautiful.










Another favourite item are these adorable magnetic bookmarks from Bonitismo. I have been eyeing up their bookmarks for ages and am super happy to have these exclusive ones.











The book in the March Fairyloot box was Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor. I guessed this when the theme was announced and am beyond excited to have this exclusive UK version. I'm halfway through reading it and I was lucky enough to meet Laini at one of her UK tour events.








Part of what makes it exclusive is the fact that it's signed (my copy is now signed twice!) and this gorgeous inside cover art.












As this was the anniversary box, Fairyloot made this exclusive purple version which I am going to keep forever. There was also this cool one year anniversary Fairy Scoop booklet, which told you the story of how Fairyloot started.










I was blown away by the quality of this box and I can't wait to see if April will top it.
Love,
Carenza x
