Five Good Things

Im sure you've all seen this before and I thought Id give it a bash. Just a list of things Im really enjoying right now.

1. When my dog tilts her head to the side as if shes confused when you talk to her. Ive seen many dogs do this and its hilarious, but for some reason its always much cuter when its your own pet. I couldnt manage to get a picture of her doing this but heres a general photo of her looking adorable. Her names Molly and shes just turned one. Aww :)


2. Hats and scarves. I love it when winter rolls around and its time to drag out all your warm and cosy accessories. Yo9u can get such pretty ones and it's always hard for me to choose which ones I want to buy. For now Im just sticking to the thousands I already have and hoping Santa might treat me to a nice new snood for Christmas as I still havnt got one. I particularly like this beautiful floral one from Topshop for £16, I might even treat myself to it. 

3. Fish and Chips. Slightly random and rather unhealthy I know. But I bought some as a one off treat for our tea and they were delightful. I'm not too sure if anywhere outside of the UK has fish and chip shops, but if they dont you should try them if you ever come here. Why does everything tasty have to be so bad for you?


4. Angry Birds. Im seriously addicted, I will play this game at every spare minute I get. My boyfriend had it for ages, and as soon as I got my new phone I downloaded it immediately, and I've been hooked ever since. I wont go in to the ins and outs of the game, but its simple, and addictive, and I get so worked up at those little green pigs sniggering at me when I lose.


5. The Body Shop's Vitamin E Hydrating Toner. This toner is perfect for my skin. I have combination skin, with dry pathes but still the odd oily patches and breakouts. Ive been looking for a toner that doesnt completely tighten your skin as that only makes my dry patches worse, and I feel stripping all of the oil out of your skin only encourages it to produce more, thus creating breakouts.

    So in comes the Vitamin E toner to work its magic on my face. It says it is for all skin types which I quite believe as it has worked well with my spots and also my dryness. My dryness is greatly reduced, I dont find myself having to slather on as much moisturiser, and my face is noticably less oily and spotty. When applying it, it actually feels like its taking care of alll of my facial needs, and I enjoy the noticable make-up that it takes off even after Ive cleansed, which makes me feel extra clean.

   I realise this has turned into a really long product rave but I couldnt recommend this more. It retails at around £6 per 200ml bottle, but I found mine on ebay for £3 for two of these bottles. They are definately genuine as Ive bought the full price one before, bargain!

30 Day Challenge: Day 2

The challenge for day 2 calls for a photo fo me a year ago. Well I cant remember what events I went to and exactly what dates they were so this one was exactly that, a bit of a challenge. But I do remember this time last year it snowed, A LOT, for a LONGGGGGG time where I live. We went about 2 month with snow on the ground, which is great fun at first but 2 whole months of wet feet and chapped lips gets a little tiring.

Anyways, heres a photo fo me and my little brother Ben playing on our sledge in the snow last year. It was a lot of fun and I hope it snows loads this year so we can go down the the hills again. The snow was way deeper than it looks here, it came right up to my knees!

My Top 3 Lush Bubble Bars

Like many people I absolutely adore Lush bath and beauty products, my real favourites are their bubble bars. They are so effective at producing loads and loads of bubbles and the scents fill your entire bathroom beautifully without being overwhelming and sickly. Obviously I favour some more than others, Id say my top 3 are:

1. Dorothy - This is a cute tribute to Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, and the song "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" its such a cute design with the rainbow and you only need half to fill your bath. It gives off a beautiful exotic fragrance and turns your bathwater bright blue. I once used a whole bar in one bath nd the water was bright turquoise!
You can find Dorothy on the Lush website by clicking here!

2. Sunny Side - This is a purely golden glittery bubble bar. It makes your bathroom smell heavenly and very citrusy. I love how it turns your bathwater into a glittery golden swirly pool. It may sound a bit disgusting with the glitter but trust me you cant feel it at all and it doesnt cling to your skin in an overpowering, childish way at all during or after your bath. I have often found myself hours after my bath catching a sniff of the beautiful scent still lingering on my skin. It's just lovely, a real pick-me-up.

3. Pop In The Bath- I love the cute design of this one as they come in a range of colours with a big flower shape stuck on the top. I particularly liked the blue based one with the pinky flower as this tured the bath water blue a bit like Dorothy. The fragrance it gives off is floral but in a very light way which is really lovely and relaxing.

I do like other bubble bars but these are the ones I tend to repurchase again and again as I prefer the lighter fragrances and these ones are just perfect for that :)  I have yet to test any of the Christmas Lush products but Ive heard fantastic reviews on them and can't wait to try them out! Which ones do you like? xxx
