KNOW THYSELF | THE GAME OF SELF DISCOVERY

Ad – review. We were sent Know Thyself expanded edition for review purposes and all thoughts are my own. 

Know Thyself is a game of self discovery and is the most revealing personality game. It's a game that brings you closer to the people you care about by tearing down those masks and sparking the deepest conversations. It's not like other games that have conversation cards with questions like 'what are your deepest fears?' It digs deeper with  depth cards and archetype cards that spark conversations that explore how you see yourself and how others see you.

The game is for 2-4 players and is designed to speak to different types of people. The game is ideal for date nights, dinner parties and get togethers with family and friends (18+). The standard edition is the core experience of Know Thyself which includes the full base game. Inside the box you will find:

• 54 Archetype Cards - each representing a universal facet of the human character.

• 44 Depth Cards - Question prompts to elicit deeper insight into player personalities.

• Reversible Game Board – Two sides, supporting 2–4 players and two distinct playing styles

• 4 Resonance Dials – Custom score wheels to track alignment between players

• Pledge Card – A solemn pre-game promise

• Book of Rules

• Scorepad & Pen – To record points and track progress

The extended edition includes the above plus  expansion packs which include the following extra cards :   

• Zodiac Pack
• Enneagram Edition
• Pandora’s Box 
• Philosopher’s Kit

Please note: To reduce waste, all 4 Expansion Packs come in 2 double-sided boxes.

If you are looking for magical gift ideas for a gothic or witchy friend or even for someone who just likes items that fit that aesthetic than you need to check out Little Coven.

Little Coven's collection of Witchy gifts are ideal for those who embrace their mystical, mysterious and dark side. From tarot decks, crystals, witchy jewellery and home decor you are sure to find the ideal witchy gift.

Little Coven also have a new girly goth collection where cute meets creepy with a dreamy mix of pastel darkness, pink pentagrams and spooky sweet style.

Within this post I will be sharing six items that make the perfect gifts.

Little Coven have a wide range of collections and the one that stood out most to me is the Dark Forest collection featuring mushroom themed gifts with a magical blend of cottage core charm, earthy witch vibes, and fungal fascination. I absolutely love the print hence why three of the items are from the range.

1. Stemless glass

Featuring dainty florals, whimsical toadstools and beautiful luna moths. Speckled with moon and stars in the background, this glass has a touch of celestial wonder. 

2. Ceramic incense plate

The plate features softly lit crescent moon casting light over a fairytale-like toadstool with colourful flora and flora details. It's great for using with incense sticks or cones. I've found it great for when I'm cleansing my crystals due to a hole at the bottom for my incense sticks to stand and it's also ideal for burning cones on too as it has a stable base. 

3. Crescent moon trinket dish 

The crescent moon trinket dish featuring the same stunning details is ideal for storing your treasured trinkets/jewellery.

RESULTS OF USING THE AMIRO R3 FACIAL DEVICE

I've now completed using the AMIRO R3 Facial Device for 30 days to help with toning my skin. The device is also great for helping smooth out any wrinkles and in my first post I explained about how the technology works. As a reminder the facial device  uses Radiofrequency and ionization to enhance penetration, resulting in a deeper, broader, more even and more efficient effect. 

I also shared an update on how the device works, what it feels like to use and my results after  the initial 2 weeks. As a reminder after 2 weeks I was already noticing that my skin was feeling more toned especially around the eye area and my cheeks.

The device is simple to use with three different setting modes and five different levels of intensity. For the first two weeks I used the facial device, every 2 days testing out the different modes. Then for a further 16 days, I've been using it every day using a different mode each day.  I've also been testing out the different levels, level 1 is a definite must for the first time using the device as level 5 is quite a strong intensity.  I also recommend using level 1 if using the device for the first time in awhile so that you can get use to the intensity again.

Using the device has definitely had a noticeable affect on my skin. I personally have noticed that around my eyes and my cheeks they feel more toned and less puffy. I've also noticed a slight difference in my jaw line. I've not noticed much difference on my forehead however I'm using the facial device for toning purposes rather than focusing on soothing any wrinkles.

AMIRO R3 FACIAL DEVICE UPDATE

 Ad – review. I was sent the AMIRO R3 Turbo Facial RF Skin Tightening Device for review purposes, all thoughts are my own. 

Over the past two weeks I've been using the AMIRO R3 Facial Device. The aim of the device is to rejuvenate your skin using radiofrequency skin tightening. This  is ideal for women (and men) who are looking at toning their skin and smoothing wrinkles. My previous post explained about how the technology works along with what you should get in the limited-edition set. Today I'm sharing with you my experience of using the device and my results after two weeks. 

As a reminder the facial device has 3 mode settings for:

- Eye area for a lightening and brightening look

- Contour for a refined jaw line

- Full face for anti-aging 

The device is easy to use once you turn it on you have 3  different modes to choose from as well as level settings to choose from. It's reccomended to start at level 1 especially your first time using the device until you are use to how it feels.

Before use of the facial device make sure that you cleanse your skin so your skin is clean and fresh of make up and/or oil . Then you can choose which of the three modes to use.

 Ad – review. I was sent the AMIRO R3 Turbo Facial RF Skin Tightening Device for review purposes, all thoughts are my own. 

This year I turn 34 and the older I get the more I'm aware that as we age,  the reduction in collagen production often leads to drooping skin and wrinkles. If you are looking for a way to rejuvenate your skin without needing to worry about the cost or finding the time to see a dermatologist than the AMIRO facial tightening device is for you. Thanks to the AMIRO R3 Turbo Facial RF Skin Tightening Device you can now use RF skin tightening conveniently and safely at home, requiring no professional techniques.

I've agreed to trial the AMIRO R3 Turbo Facial RF Skin Tightening Device and share how I'm getting on in two further posts, after 14 days use and then after 30 days use. But first I'm sharing with you how the facial device technology works, what you can expect to get in the box etc.
