Blogmas 2017 Day 12 - Lush Christmas Haul

Wow this month is flying by! I can't believe it's less than two weeks until Christmas, the rush is on the get everything sorted and presents bought! Sometimes we need to take some time for ourselves to sit down and chill out, and what better way to do that than with some beautiful lush products!
I love their Christmas range, so I managed to pick up a few of my favourite things.

 Snow Fairy Naked Shower Gel

I love this in the original bottle packaging, and this product is exactly the same. It's a hard version of the gel, and lathers up when mixed with water in the shower. The scent is amazing as always, snow fairy is always a winner for me!

Twilight Naked Shower Gel

I always find myself buying the same sort of things when it comes to lush, so I decided to mix it up a bit and try something I haven't used before. I bought the Naked Twilight shower gel and I really love the scent. I haven't tried the scent before, so thought I would give it a go. As usual, Lush never disappoints when it comes to their amazing smelling products.

Berry Berry Naked Shower Gel

Again, another scent that I have not tried before and this one smells so good! It's a very fruity, fun scent and has a bit of a silver sparkle to it. I can't wait to use this one in the shower!

Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb

This is something new and I am so looking forward to trying it. It says it's a jelly bomb, not entirely sure what they mean by that, but it has the familiar Snow Fairy Scent. This will be amazing in the bath!

Candy Mountain Bubble Bar

This is a favourite of mine and I always purchase this at Christmas time. I love how it makes the bath so bubbly and the bubbles last so long too. 

Snow Fairy Cold Pressed Soap

As you can probably tell, Snow Fairy is my favourite scent. When I saw that it came in Soap form, I had to get it! It has that familiar snow fairy scent that we all know and love, so can't wait to use this one. 

Plum Snow Bubble Bar 

This is a very citrusy scent, so it's a little bit different from what I usually get. This is along the same lines as candy mountain, so looking forward to using this in the bath too. 

Everytime I buy Lush products, I just want to have a shower or bath and try all the products! I love how they make my bathroom smell too, it gives off a lovely scent!

I hope you enjoyed this post, what products are you loving from Lush this season?

Stay tuned for day 13 tomorrow xx

Blogmas 2017 - Day 11 - My Favourite Festive Films

Hello and welcome to day 11 of Blogmas 2017! How has your December been so far? I hope you are all having a relatively stress free festive season so far! Today I will be sharing my favourite festive films with you all, and some of these movies are actually my part of my all time favourite movies! So keep on reading to find out my festive favourites!

Elf (2003)

There is something about a grown man behaving like a child that I find hysterical! My eight year old son and I love this movie and find ourselves giggling throughout the whole movie. I love how this movie is set in New York, I think it's so pretty at this time of year. Also the fact that this movie has a little bit of sweet, romantic and also adds some festive cheer makes this a must watch in my house during the festive season.

Home Alone (1990)

This is a family favourite in my house! No matter how many time we have watched it, we still love it just as much as the first time we watched it. I love the fact that a young boy like Kevin can outsmart two professional thieves! Then there's the very heartwarming ending that makes it a perfect Christmas film.

The Polar Express (2004)

How adorable I this film! I love it because Tom Hanks plays a major part of this movie, and also the animation is amazing! It really brings the magic of Christmas to life and a family favourite of ours.

Bridget Jones's Diary (2001)

This movie is definitely a favourite of mine, even when it's not Christmas! It's such a lovely, cheery movie with a festive theme, and if you're one of the few that haven't seen it yet, definitely do!

The Santa Clause (1994)

This really brings the magic of Christmas to life, by turning an ordinary man, played by Tim Allen, into Santa Claus! It's seems very unbelievable to all of his friends and family that he is in fact Santa Claus, but of course in the end, everything works out! A great movie to sit down with the kids and watch.

National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation 

I have saved my favourite movie until last. I absolutely love this movie, and always watch it on Christmas Night, after winding down from the big day. There is something about Chevy Chase and his ridiculous antics in this movie that make me laugh time and time again! An absolute classic movie that is a must watch at Christmas time.

Let me know which movies you enjoy watching at this time of year
Stay tuned for day 12 tomorrow xx

Blogmas 2017 Day 8 - My favourite Christmas Scents

Being the festive month that it is I like to get right into it! I love having a candle or something warming in my warmer to give my home a Christmassy feel. I have a couple of favourites that I will share for you today.

Glasshouse Fragrances

I love their candles. Not only do they smell amazing, but they really last a long time. At the moment I have two of their Christmas candles and I can't decide which one I love more!
The first one is The Night Before Christmas, or Dancing Sugar Plums. It has blackcurrant, plum, lemon and lavender to give you a beautiful magical Christmassy scent. I 100% agree. Each time I smell this scent, I am completely reminded of Christmas!

The other candle I have is Under the Mistletoe, which is spiced apple & red berries. This one has a blend of cinnamon, apple and berries which is a more traditional scent. I love this one too, and I can't get enough of their scents!

Scentsy Wax Melts

I also love a good wax melt, and I particularly like Scentsy wax melts. There are so many to choose from, but at the moment I have been using two.

The first one is called Vanilla Bean Buttercream and it smells like you are cooking a delicious cake in the oven! It has a very sweet scent of vanilla and can sugar, so if you like sweet scents then you will love this one.

My other current favourite scent form Scentsy is Homestead Holiday. This scent combines blood orange, cinnamon and fir needle. Again it is quite a traditional Christmassy scent with the cinnamon, and a perfect scent for this time of year.

Let me know what you like to have burning that makes you feel all festive! Thanks for reading, stay tuned for more tomorrow xx

Blogmas Day 3 - Gift Guide

For Day 3 of Blogmas, I'm going to give you some ideas that will hopefully help you with your Christmas shopping. Sometimes with gifts, less is more and I feel like many people go a little overboard when it comes to gift giving.

I will give you some budget friendly ideas so that you can hopefully save some pennies this festive season!

Kris Kringle Gifts 

If you happen to be doing Kris Kringle gift this year, the Kmart is the place to go! The gifts start at 3 dollars and there is a great range of things that would be suitable for everyone. 

For the kids

Again I have found Kmart to be a great place to get gifts for the kids. My top picks would be some lego, some craft or stationary sets, maybe some outdoor toys like a new bike or a scooter. There are so many great options, bu I do recommend getting in quick because they can sell out of things very quickly.

For Beauty Lovers.

I am a huge fan of The Body Shop, and I always like to buy little gift packs from there each Christmas. My two favourites would be the Frosted Berries Treat Box and The Frosted Plum Treat Box. These both retail for $15.00 each and are a great present to give. 

Each pack comes with a 60ml Shower Gel, 50ml body Butter and a bath lily. 

If the person you are buying for is into makeup then I would definitely recommend a gift card to Priceline or Sephora even, or another makeup brand. Some people would say that Gift cards are a little impersonal, but I think it's great, because then the person can go enjoy the fantastic Boxing Day sales that we have!

For Tech Lovers

Technology is great but it can also be sooo expensive! So instead of buying some fancy new gadget that probably is over priced and won't be used, I would recommend something that would go with what they already have. 

For instance my son has a phone, and is always going through headphones! So that being the case investing in a decent set of headphone for his phone you;d be an option. I also like the idea of bluetooth speakers, these are great to take away with you so you an easily listen to music while you're away. 

VR goggles are very popular at the moment and you can get some great ones for a good price. I recommend checking out places like Kmart & Target to get the best deals. 

That's the end fo my post, I really hope it was helpful, there are so many great gift ideas out there though, so make sure you hunt around! 

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas xx
