November favourites


My oh my, is it December already?
November has gone so fast, it's crazy! 
This past month despite having a wonderful birthday, has been pretty stressful. 
Therefore I am happily welcoming December. I hope this month consists of many happy memories and me simply just can't wait for Christmas. 

Anyway, without further ado, I present to you my November favourites. Enjoy!

My first favourite is my food favourite of the month.This has to be the Covent Garden Vegetable soup.
Soup is so perfect for the season. My absolute favourite flavour is the vegetable, especially this one!
This soup is just so yummy, I am addicted. It tastes natural and yummy and leaves me feeling great.
Definitely recommended.

My second favourite this month is my Soap and glory sugar crush body wash.
I got this as a gift from a sister for my birthday and I am pretty much obsessed. This smells
absolutely heavenly and I am in love. It smells like lime and sweetness. Super yummy!
I will definitely be looking into more soap and glory products and this has been fab.

My favourite songs this month have been 'Counting Stars' by One Republic and
'How long will I love you?' by Ellie Goulding. I love the artists and these songs are pretty much perfection.
I don't really have much to say about this section other than its fab and I recommend you go check them out.

Another thing I have been loving this past month is my Simple oil balancing moisturiser.

My final favourite for this month is my Yankee candle. I got this as a gift for my birthday and
I am obsessed.




 So there we have it, my November favourites. Now time for December and more
importantly Christmas!
I can't contain my excitement! :D

Lush relaxing bath

So the other day I decided to try out some of my gifts and have a Lush bath. 
I was very pleased with the result.


First of all, I lit up my 'fireside treats' candle. This smells so heavenly I could eat it. 
This is (in my opinion) a very autumnal smell and it was just perfect for my cosy lush bath.


Whilst my water was running I added my bubble bar 'the comforter'. I crumbled it under the water to produce bubbles. The only way I can think of describing the bubbles is fluffy and sweet.




As I didn't want to use it all up before I got another one, I still had this much left after using it. However, it still produced plenty of bubbles and well as leaving my bath smelling wonderful and looking rather pretty.



Next, I added my 'space girl' bath bomb. This looked amazing so I was very excited to use it.


The end result gave me a lush smelling bath and I loved watching it fizz away. The oils also left me feeling very relaxed.


I also used this opportunity to try my 'rub rub rub' shower scrub. This left my skin feeling hydrated and fresh. My skin feels so soft and smooth and I really enjoyed using this scrub.

The final products I used were my simple face wash and mango body wash from boots. I love this face wash for the bath as it is slightly thicker than my other face washes and reminds me a little of a mask. This body wash smells amazing and is also great for the skin.

This bath left me feeling relaxed, smelling great and with super soft skin. Overall very enjoyable!
Highly suggested!

Autumn walks

One of my favourite things about the season of Autumn is being able to go on walks and enjoy the scenery. 
I am very lucky to be living near to the Westonbirt Arboretum, and we as a family have season passes so we get to come here a lot. We often take our dogs here for walks and its a really nice place to go.
 We went around mid-afternoon and the weather was lovely. We had a very enjoyable walk and I took this opportunity to test out my new camera. I took quite a few snaps that I thought I would share. I really love the colours and this is one of my favourite places to be during the Autumn. This also makes it ideal for photos.
Enjoy!

Beautiful colour!

More lovely colours.

The colours reminded me of a traffic light.

I just love the colours in this!

Wonderful weather.

We really do live in a beautiful world.

Thought this was pretty cute.

Trees. Trees. Trees.

More trees.

This colour is gorgeous.

After our little walk, we stopped at the cafe for a delicious hot chocolate before heading home.
I had a lovely afternoon and really enjoyed taking some lovely photos.

Non school uniform OOTD



Every year, for children in need my school, allow you to wear non-school uniform if you bring in £1, which then gets donated to Children In Need. 
Since I still had a full day at school, including a mock exam, my outfit needed to be practical as well as feeling happy in what I was wearing so I figured I would share what I decided to wear.



I wore a simple black strappy top from next and added my burgundy knitted sweater from New look. Then I paired that with my black skinny jeans from New Look and my brown boots from Next. I then added my khaki utility jacket from Asos with my tartan scarf which I actually got as a gift from Scotland. For my jewellery, I simply just added my big sister necklace from Claires with my granddaughter moon necklace that I got from my grandma.


This outfit was super comfy and practical for my day.

Thanks for reading,

Lush 'cinders' review



As part of my birthday present, one of my friends gave me a Cinders bath bomb from Lush.
Now I have a bit of an obsession with Lush so this was perfect. 
This bath bomb is in their Christmas collection so I was very excited to try it.
One of the first things I noticed about this bath bomb was the smell.
It basically smells like Christmas. It's made with almond oil, sweet orange and cinnamon leaf oils, and this is one of my favourite scents yet. I can't wait to go and purchase another!
 As soon as I dropped it into my bath it immediately started fizzing away, filling my bath with colour.
As it continued to fizz away, the colour spreading, the wonderful scent started to fill my bathroom.
It kept fizzing and within minutes I had a wonderful yellow bath that smelt heavenly.

This bath bomb made my bath so relaxing and my skin felt so good afterwards. After a week of exams and mocks, this was exactly what I needed.
I defiantly recommend giving this bath bomb a go. 

To conclude.... It smells good, it looks pretty cool and it leaves you feeling great. 
I will unquestionably be purchasing it again.
