Halloween Bath Time

During the warmer months I'm definitely a shower over baths type girl, however as soon as the winter winter creeps up on us I instantly crave baths. I find them so comforting, relaxing and uplifting when it's cold, rainy and dark outside. My go-to bath products are always Lush, I love to use their bubble bars, bath bombs, bath melts, everything is amazing and there's so much choice...I'm also a huge fan of the brand itself and respect them massively for the work they do trying to fight animal testing. 

Lush are always bringing out limited edition products to fit the season, and I got my hands on the Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar!

Lush Wishlist

Winter is the season I fall in love with baths. On a cold, dark evening there's nothing better than running a hot bath and relaxing. Even though I find going into Lush stores pretty intense, and the strong scent scares me off I do adore their products and they make baths so much more amazing.

Here are some Lush products I've got my eye on -

The Comforter 
This is a bubble bar, you break a bit off under running water and it creates gorgeous bubbles whilst turning the water a nice colour and smelling wonderful. I'm a sucker for berry scents, which this is, and whenever I smell it in the shop it makes me feel all calm and relaxed.

Luxury Lush Pud
This is a bath bomb that makes me feel so festive. The scents are calming and warm with lavender and essential oils. It'll also turn your bath all sorts of pastel colours!

King Of Skin
Sometimes moisturising is a chore, especially when you're in a lazy mood and can't wait for it to sink in. King Of Skin is a body butter that you smooth over wet skin and then wash it off, it'll leave your skin silky smooth and smelling lovely. It's got nourishing ingredients like banana and avocado and exfoliating, soothing ingredients like oats and cocoa butter.

You've Been Mangoed
I adore mango, so obviously this bath melt jumped right out at me! The ingredients are designed to wake up the skin and help you feel nourished and hydrated. There's mango butter, cocoa butter, lemon oil, avocado butter and almond oil…dreamy right!

Under £15 Christmas Gift Guide!

Buying Christmas presents is something I love doing, I enjoy thinking of thoughtful gifts that I know people will like. But it doesn't come without expense, and it's sometimes tricky to think of presents for everyone. So I have put together this gift guide for girls and all the items are under £15.

For any candle lovers like myself the Cranberry Ice candle from Yankee Candle would be a great choice, lovely fruity scent and nice and festive - £12.75.
Winter months are the time for lots of hot drinks, so a pretty mug would go down well - the one pictured is from Cath Kidson and it's the Provence Rose Crush mug - £6.50.
Nearly all girls love bath stuff, and Soap & Glory has to be one of the best brands for that. The item pictured is a set of shower gel, body cream, body butter and hand cream, and trust me, this stuff smells amazing - £10.
This charm bracelet from Urban Outfitters is so pretty, I've actually fallen in love with it myself - £6.
No-one likes cold feet in the winter, and slipper boots are a brilliant invention, so cosy and snug. The pair pictured are from New Look and they have little owls on them! - £12.99.
The next gift idea is for book lovers. I love a good chick-lit book and my favourite author for those is Sophie Kinsella…I've read quite a few of her books and my personal favourite is Remember Me? Synopsis all available in the link given. - £3.85.
This Barry M Natural Glow Eyeshadow and Face Blusher palette has 6 gorgeous eyeshadows in it, as well as a pretty blusher - £6.49.
Winter is the season to wrap up warm, and tartan is very 'in' at the moment, so a tartan scarf is a lovely gift. I have one myself and love it! Not sure where the one pictured came from (oops) but the one linked is also lovely. - £14.
Last but not least is the Snow Fairy Box from Lush, lovely bath goodies packaged in a pretty box - £12.50.

I hope this post gave you ideas

on what to get people for

Christmas!

A 'Lush' Bath

There's nothing nicer in winter than running a lovely warm bath, throwing in some nice bath bombs, having a wintery scented body wash, lighting some candles, turning the lights out and just relaxing!
This is exactly what I did the other night and it was one of the nicest baths ever, I thought I'd share with you 2 products that made it so.

These products are the Ponche shower gel* and The Melting Snowman Bath Melt*.
Let's start with this amazing shower gel, firstly I love the colour of it! It's such a bright orange!
It's described on the bottle like this 'This packs a Ponche, with orange juice and cinnamon infusion. Inspired by traditional Mexican punch, this shower gel is bright, fruity and uplighting' and I couldn't agree more. I'm not the biggest fan of cinnamon scents but actually I don't think the gel smells very much like cinnamon. It has a sweet and fruity scent, like oranges, slightly plummy, very fresh! But it has a spicy kick, which I think is what makes it quite festive!
This scent really lingers on your skin afterwards as well, which I adore!

Secondly the snowman bath melt. Can we just appreciate how cute this is for a second?

You put this into the water of a running bath and let it dissolve. It tuned the water quite cloudy but the smell, ooooh it was amazing! This one smelt of cinnamon, but I liked it! It was a sweet and spicy scent, with aromas of almond, cocoa butter, orange, and cinnamon. The best thing about this bath melt was how soft it made my skin feel, it made the bath water feel really smooth and luxurious and left my skin feeling the same.

Combing those two products was amazing. I was left feeling so relaxed, smelling lovely with soft skin, and it really got me feeling christmassy as they both have such warm, wintery scents.
