Hello!!

I am opting in and out of book boxes lately, I kind of just buy the box with the theme that I like. This way I'm receiving things that I like and that I am a fan of. This month I received The Box Club's February box Magic Potions. This box is my favourite so far! Everything inside is just amazing!


This box was filled with so many cool things, from Harry Potter to Alice in Wonderland. Some of my favourite books of all time. It is clear that a lot of thought has been put into this box, I am obsessed with everything.



 The book that came in this months box is Shadowscent by P.M Freestone. The synopsis for the book is: Escape to the ancient desert land of Aramtesh, a beautifully described fantastical world, where a poor village girl and a royal bodyguard are about to embark on an epic quest, led by their noses... Can Rakel's talent for fragrances lead her to the scent which will awaken a poisoned prince?


It sounds pretty cool, the picture doesn't do the cover justice. Now I have read the synopsis, I feel as though one of the items now makes sense. I was thinking it was a bit random but in fact, it goes with the
theme of the book.

To the left is in the item I was confused about. Dahkai Flower Rollerball Perfume by Suski Scents. It is quite a pretty scent, both spicy and sweet, not something I would usually wear but I will give it a go. I have been obsessed with perfumes lately, I still have the oils from my trip to Egypt, and they're the most stunning thing ever.



This is my second favourite item, I'll share my first favourite at the end of the blog post, the Alice in Wonderland Necklace by Literary Galaxy. It is such a cute piece, I love the glitter in the bottle as well as the little 'Drink Me' tag. I'm going out today, I plan on wearing this little gem as an accessory.
The next item is a badge, I actually thought this was a tribute to Pretty Little Liars. It is so adorable but it is for the book One of Us is Lying. I guess I am so used to the song from the opening credits of PLL.

I cannot resist a bit of chocolate, so I was more than happy when I saw this is in the box. This item is the Magical chocolatey potion by Kernow Chocolate. I especially love the logo of the company, it's very sweet and bookish.
There was also another badge within the box, I am not sure what the context is but it seems pretty badass. I really need to find a place to put all my badges, I have so many cute bookish ones and nowhere to display them.

The Apothecary bookplates by Book Box Clubs are so cute. I wouldn't personally put them into books but I would use them for notebooks. I love how magical they look, I love anything with a witchy vibe!


Last but certainly not least, here is my favourite item. I have used this every day since it arrived in the box! The Potions Master Take-Out Cup with Artwork by Fable&Black.
I love anything Harry Potter, this is such a perfect item. It reads 'I can teach you how to bottle fame, brew glory and even put a stopper on death' this quote is from the first Harry Potter book The Philosopher's Stone and it said by Snape. He is probably one of my least favourite characters but I am LIVING for this cup, I adore that is it reusable, I take it everywhere with me.

This box was such a brilliant box, all the items were cool and the theme was just amazing! I am not sure which boxes I am getting in March, I might switch it up and try somewhere new!

 I have been wanting to create a sim version of Alice for a while now, in this creation I have made her a modern teenager. I enjoy making this quick Sim, I also worked on a quick building. 



I decided to make Alice a little preppy in the screenshots below, I figure we mainly see her in one outfit so I explored other ones. I kept her hair the same throughout just so it resembles Alice somewhat.



I did create several outfits but the two above were my favourites. Below is the build mode I created, I just played around with size. Huge plants, small chairs etc. I really enjoyed this quick creation, I don't think I'll go onto gameplay with her but this as just something quick to do. 



I think my favourite part of this was magnifying the plants to give it a wild forest feel to the build. Have any of you created fictional places from books? I want to create more, but I am not very confident with Build Mode so I am just messing around with creations. I am not sure what I will be working on next but I don't think I will be playing Sims as much as I like to due to upcoming deadlines.
