Box of OMG Review

Hello everyone! Today I'm going to do a review of the Box of OMG that I recently received in the post. So off we go!:D


So the Box of OMG is a box that you can potentially receive for free in the mail if you sign up to the website here: http://www.boxofomg.tv/ Alternatively you can purchase a mega box for £4.99. The box contains loads of cool stuff including books,toys, wristbands and sweets. Their aim is to help brands connect with children in order to improve their products.

Rocking the Henna^_^
I love the Ruby Redford wristband, definitely my favourite item from the box because of how much I adore wearing them.
The sample books

Oops I ate them...


The box arrived really quickly and I was amazed to see how much stuff you get! I do think some of the stuff in the box is a bit young for me for instance the Moshi Monsters merch, but knowing me, I'll still stick them to my walls in my bedroom...


 The free sample of Skwooshi it comes with is amazing, I didn't even know this toy existed! It turns from a solid playground consistency to a liquid consistency right in front of you!? Magic, that's what that is. http://skwooshi.com/

I'm looking forward to reading the book it came with: Counting by 7s by Holly Goldberg Sloan: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Counting-7s-Holly-Goldberg-Sloan/dp/0803738552


All in all I love this box and I'm definitely going to recommend it to others. I think it's a great way to get kids interested in reading and to get them testing brands they may never have heard of! However, I don't think it appeals as much to teenagers. Because of this I think it would be a fantastic to create a box specifically designed for teens. Things inside could include make-up and accessories etc. 

My favourite items from the OMG box were the wristband and the Counting by 7s book.

Thanks to Sophie for kindly sending me one of the boxes for free.

So I hope you all enjoyed that! Let me know in the comments if you're subscribed to any mail boxes eg. Birchbox:)

Cheerio! Milly x

P.S. Thanks to Sophie from the company who kindly sent me this box for free:)

The Liebster Award!

Thank you so much for Ultracelestial and Lazy Days Beauty for nominating me for the amazing Liebster award, I'm so happy people have recognised my blog, eep! This is a special award created to find new smaller blogs to go and follow and the only criteria for being nominated is that you have a blog with less than 200 followers! (Leave a comment if I made a mistake with that...) So because I was so kindly nominated ^_^ I have to give 11 facts about myself, then answer the 11 questions set by each nominee, then set 11 questions to ask the 11 people I nominate! You following? Just remember the number 11 and you'll be well on your way:p Sooo off we go!

So the 11 facts about me should be a piece of cake as I've done the 50 facts about me tag back in September which you can read HERE

*I've been a bridesmaid twice


*I'm not a fussy eater, I just love food in general (it's a very one sided relationship)*

*I want to be a vet when I'm older*

*My favourite gaming console ever has to be the N64 which I play the original Zelda Ocarina of time on (best game ever.)*

*My birthday is the 7th of January making me a capricorn*

*I have a younger sister called Poppy who's sat next to me on the bridesmaid picture above ^^*

*I have 3 cats, Blackie who's 16, lola who's 4 and Tinka who's also 4*

*I play the Double bass and Violin as my main instruments, I'm working towards my grade 5 on both:)*

*I'm terrible at listening and get distracted WAYYY too easily...*

*I love buying new nail polishes and hate that we're not aloud to wear it at school:'(*

*I can't say the word Squirrel, it comes out either "skirrel" or "squirrl". Luckily the word "Squirrel" doesn't crop up in that many conversations:)*

So now I'm a bit confused because I got nominated twice and therefore I don't want to leave one person's questions out so I think I'm going to do both sets of the questions?!*

So first off it's the questions from Lazy Day's beauty:)

What is your favourite flavour of Ben and Jerrys?

Between mint choc chip or phish food. Great, now I'm hungry:p

Do you collect anything and if so, what?

Yes indeedy I do, rubbers of all things! Infact I wrote a post all about my collection that you are free to read HEREE

What was the last book that you read?

Of Mice and Men for my English Literature GCSE... We had to read it over the Easter holidays and I will continue to reread it until I finish school in 1 year 1 week:( (not that I'm counting or anything)

If you had to only keep one item of make up and bin the rest, what would it be?

I would be so sad if this actually happened. But I guess I'd keep my Maybelline Falsies Mascara or my Mint Candy Apple polish from Essie, because well it's just so pwetttyyy.

Who is your biggest influence and why?

I would have to say Louise from Sprinkle of Glitter (excluding family members and friends:D)

 Where is your dream holiday destination?

I would have to say Australia. I can't wait to travel there during some sort of gap year to go and finally meet family over there!

What made you start blogging?

When I was younger I used to go on website building sites and create pages full of pet widgets and pictures that I loved. A combination of that, Cat's blog and reading numerous articles about how relaxing and rewarding blogging can be caused me to create Miyyi! ^_^

When was the last time you laughed out loud and why?

I'm constantly laughing but the last time was probably when I watched THIS World of The Orange video about an hour ago. (comment if you watch WOTO too)

What is you favourite type of blog post to read?

I love it when bloggers write about a topic that they have a strong opinion on that enables you to see different sides of specific things that you may not have thought about previously. (deep)

And what is your favourite type to write?

Trips to places matched with photo's of the day/time spent there.

 If I gave you £50, what would you spend it on?

Either some new converse, clothes, food or put the money towards buying a Penny board!:D

And from Ultracelestial:

What is your favourite colour?
Green

 Have you ever stolen anything?
I occidentally picked up 2 sweets from the shop without realising when I was 7 and felt so bad that I made my mum eat it.

Favourite band(s)?
Arctic monkeys, The Vaccines or The 1975

 Has a book ever made you cry? If so which?

Yes, so many books! Naughts and Crosses, Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Hunger games, When a Monster Calls are just a few!

 Favourite flower?

Daffodils and Cherry Blossom

My sister calls my Miyyi instead of Milly so I thought it was a cute name for a blog.

Hunger Games Catching Fire

If you had to meet one Actor/ Actress who would it be?

Jim Parsons (obviously;))

And now I have to come up with 11 questions!

10. Favourite subject at school / favourite activity you do if you don't go there :p

Currently I'm #3

Hello everyone! It's that time again over on Miyyi for another Currently I'm which I love doing as its a lovely way of  letting you all know what I'm up to and just have a good ol' catch up. So off we go...

Reading

Miss Perigrines Home For Peculiar Children is a fantastic book so far as I'm about 150 pages in! It's about a boy called Jacob who loves his Grandfather and his creepy stories about his old children's home run by Miss Pereigrine. As Jacob grows up he starts to question his Grandfather's stories and this questioning leads him on to remarkable discoveries. I love how the freaky pictures tie in with the novel and the picture on the front instantly draws you to the book. This is a real page turner which I would definitely recommend for anyone wanting to get into creepy style books.

Watching

Friends, Big Bang Theory and desperate housewives. Oh dear I have a terrible obsession with all of these shows recently. I'm not going to go into detail so I thought I'd just share with you my favourite charaters... Friends: Joey, BBT: Sheldon (obviously) and Desperate Housewives: Susan. So there you go incase any of you were interested:)

Listening To
The Starwars soundtrack on R E P E A T. I'm just loving orchestral movie music recently but Starwars just has to be my favourite.

Drinking
Earl Grey Tea, Smoothies and Mochas from McDonalds, a nice variety:))

Enjoying
The longer evenings! The clocks have changed which is super awesome, how I've missed having the sun out until 7:30. Roll on the first BBQ:D

Loving
Walking! I'm loving walking at the moment, especially now the weather has improved in England:D

Learning
It's the Easer holidays *Loud Cheer* which means not very much at all! But before I broke up I had a frenzy of year 10 mock exams which wasn't the most enjoyable thing I have ever done...
