Autumn/Christmas Lush Haul

I used to have a major love affair with Lush, constantly staining the bath with glitter and bright colours and then all of sudden I was done with it. But alas I have been watching far too many lush hauls lately and was inspired to take a trip down there and build up a collection to sit in my bathroom. I mainly picked up bubble bars and bath bombs as they're the ones you want to come home and have a bath and watch youtube videos too. I did however also pick up a couple of other bits that caught my eye, a few bath melts, a hand scrub, bubbleroon and shower gel.

Clockwork from top left: The Experimenter | Lord of Misrule | Yog Nog | Bar Humbug| Candy Mountain | Milky Bath

A couple of these products are from the Christmas range and  Lord of Misrule I believe is from the Halloween range- I've already repurchased this as it makes my bathroom smell really strong even when it was just sat on the side from the spicy blend of patchouli and black pepper scent. I also love the fact it's a vivid green but produces a strong wine colour in the bath.
Candy Mountain is a Christmas staple with its sweet vanilla scent being a firm favourite among many and I have had this before and love the pink girly bubbles you get from the bar.
The Experimenter I picked up mainly due to the colours and the vanilla scent again. I can't wait to use this and see the rainbow of colours that are produced when it is fizzing around the bath to the sounds of popping candy.

Clockwise from top left: Salted Coconut hand scrub | Lord of Misrule Shower Cream | Mmm Melting Marshmallow Moment | Razzle Dazzle|  Rose Jam| You've Been Mangoed

The Luxury Bath Melts caught my eye due to their small size and the amount of oils that will soothe and soften your skin crammed inside. I have never used these before but am excited to linger in the bath and come out silky smooth and rehydrated. I love the smell of You've Been Mangoed it packs a punch and i'm sure will make you feel revitalised with mango and citric notes very apparant.
I also picked up the Lord of Misrule shower cream as I love the scent of the bath bomb and really enjoy the idea of layering scents and being able to use this everyday is a bonus, though I would use a bath bomb everyday if I could afford too!
The Salted Coconut hand scrub I picked up as I've seen on many hauls lately and made me want to pick it up as we all crave to have the softest hands. With coconut and sea salt this scrub naturally softens your hands and I have already noticed a difference after just a few tries. However the only thing I dislike about this product is the scent, I don't know whether I picked up a duff one or whether this is normal but I don't get any coconut from it.. To me it smells like play dough.
I've never used a bubbleroon before but understand them to be similar to the bubble bars but with extra oils and butters to mosturise your skin. This scent is really uplifting with lemon and rose. I think this one is too be used when I am going to spend a long time in the bath to really get the full benefits.

 The Magic of Christmas and Cinders

Now this is a side note, I have already been back to Lush after watching yet another video to pick up this combination and oh my! I am so impressed i'm in bath heaven Cinders smells like almond and cinnamon and I love the added popping candy. I have been pairing it with The Magic of Christmas reusable bubble bar and cannot describe my happiness. This is my first reusable bubble bar and I've found that it is so much easier to create the bubbles by waving this around the water rather than having to crumble it in and then beat up the water. Again this is an almond and cinnamon scent but I love the fact that it is on a cinnamon stick and has cloves and star anise inside it as well. I am definitely going to have to go and stock pile these to make sure that this is available to me whenever I want.

Sunday Funday #4

 So this week I thought I would do my Sunday collage a little bit different and show you what I've actually done today. I'm not going to lie this is partly due to the fact I haven't had any inspiring moments this week to take any photos, nor have I done anything exciting... There is only so many photos you can take sitting around the house when you're between jobs and waiting for money to come in.

I went down to the seafront with the boyfriend and just had a little afternoon hanging around in the arcades, having a winter stroll and breaking the diet sharing some seafront chips, aren't they always tonnes better when they are from the seafront and in a cone! Of course we all know that the grabber machines are rigged and my beloved My Little Ponies are no longer there for me to waste money on but when you see one you're guaranteed to win a prize then you kind of have to give it a try.

The evening is now going to be filled with resuming healthy food and maybe a game of monopoly in the warmth of the house, We ended up having to buy jumpers, hats and gloves down the town it was deceivingly cold.

Tell me what are your plans for the week? Any ideas as to what I can do to keep myself occupied?

winter bag

I just brought this bag from Next it's a structured tote bag with a winged shape. Its black with a gorgeous wine lining (the pictures don't do it justice) and black velvet ends making it perfect for the colder weather. It has lots of compartments so great for organising for a hoarder like me who has to carry the kitchen sink around. It also has a longer strap too making it multifunctional.

It was £34 and good quality so I think it's more than worth it for the winter season.
