We’ve been feeding our 7 month old Toy Poodle puppy, Winter, Butternut Box fresh dog food for the past three months and the transformation has been incredible. After bringing him home from the breeder, we continued with the canned dog food he was used to, but he had really, really bad wind, hit and miss digestion and quite severe tear staining under his eyes - so I started researching healthier options. That’s when I discovered Butternut Box, a popular UK dog food subscription that delivers gently cooked (not raw), grain-free meals made with natural, human-grade ingredients. Since transitioning to Butternut Box, his tear stains have completely cleared up, and we’ve also noticed big improvements in his digestion - he now has considerably less wind and perfectly pick-up-able poos!

​In this post, I’ll share our full Butternut Box review, the benefits we’ve seen, and if you're thinking of trying it, I have an exclusive discount code for readers that gets you 60% off your first box and 30% off your second box - simply visit Butternut Box here and enter discount code AMY4292 - it's that simple!

Stepping into a bathroom, a space often regarded as utilitarian, we often underestimate the profound impact that its aesthetics can have on our overall experience. The choice of wallpaper, seemingly a simple decision in the grand scheme of interior design, holds the power to transform this functional room into a sanctuary of style and relaxation.
