Book Review: The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas

The Spanish Deception is a slow burn enemies to lovers chic lit romance written by Elena Armas. The book/ film went viral thanks to TikTok but does the book live up to all the hype surrounding it? 

I thoroughly enjoyed the first half of the novel, there was lots of humour and snappy ripostes between the two main characters. Ironically  the  humour and chemistry started to fade away as they arrived in Spain for the wedding and moved from enemies/ work place acquaintances to lovers. The storyline became more formulaic and the reader could anticipate what came next. 

Disney Store Zero Light Up Hanging Ornament

Disney Store have released their 2022 Halloween collection. There are several spookily cute hanging ornaments which feature characters from The Nighmare Before Christmas. 

My favourite is the light up Zero hanging ornament (£20). This ornament features Zero sitting on a light up pump and a sign for Halloween Town. The ornament measures 7x6.5x9cm. The pumpkin can be switched on by a switch on the base. It is made from resin and stone powder and can be either free standing or hung from a ribbon. 

The packaging has been revamped so no polystyrene- the inside box feels and looks rather like an egg box - so less mess! 

I am not particularly a fan of Halloween or The Nightmare Before Christmas but I do think that this is a really cute hanging ornament and would make a great addition to any spooky Disney collection.

Disney Store The Lion King Hanging Ornament

The Disneystore/ ShopDisney have started to release the 2022 hanging ornament collection. There are some lovely items but not many animal themed ones. The one that caught my eye is the Lion King hanging ornament (£16) which features Simba, Pumbaa and Timon marching across a log, looking as though they are going to burst into song. This ornament is similar to ethe 2019 Hallmark  version which does burst in to song and light up. This version is more detailed, cheaper and I love the artwork on the back of the ornament.  

The ornament can either hang from a ribbon or be free standing. It measures 12x5 cm and is hand painted and made from resin. 

The packaging has been changed. No longer the stupid polystyrene inserts which crumble as you pack/ unpack the ornament which is great for the environment and pets. The name of the item is also printed on the box which is great if you have a lot to post or pack away.
