This month I decided to do another Owlcrate unboxing video on my YouTube channel. The last time that I did one was in October of last year, and I had a lot of fun filming that video. I think reading is so important and I hope that by doing these book related videos and blog posts it might inspire people to pick up a book every once in a while.
This months box theme was Shadows & Secrets which included a lot of exciting things. The coffee that was included in the box by Bones Coffee smelled like Halloween and it tasted like fall. I will definitely consider purchasing coffee from them in the future.
The thing that I was most excited to see was definitely the Harry Potter themed pencils from Jubilee Design Studio. I will probably never end up using the pencils but they will look lovely on my desk. Another thing that I probably won’t use a lot is the pillowcase by Stella Bookish Art. I mentioned in my video how I have a theme in my room at the moment and I really like the way my room looks. The pillowcase is beautiful and I know I would have used it as a teenager.
The sticker that was in the box was also a great surprise. The artwork is beautiful and I have been using it as a bookmark, but I think I will end up putting it in my bullet journal.
When I opened the box it smelled like berries and that was definitely the soap from Soap Cauldron that I was smelling. I have been using it for a week now and it hasn’t dried out my hands. It smells so good and this is also another business that I will think about purchasing from in the future.
The book in this months Owlcrate box was Ace of Shades by Amanda Foody. I didn’t read the synopsis of the book because I want to read it without knowing anything about it. The cover -which is an Owlcrate exclusive – is also very beautiful.
The May theme is Fight Like A Girl and you can purchase it here.
