Theirs nothing I like more than going to LUSH and raiding their seasonal section. This year I bought so much I uploaded two haul videos! It was all so tempting!


A review of some of my favourites- 

The melting snowman- This bath melt has a cinnamon smell which I'm not overly keen on; however, it was the visual half that won me over. If I'm honest, I'm not overly sure that I'm even going to use it. It will feel as though I am killing Olaf from 'Frozen' which I don't think I'm prepared for!


It is made with enriching oils and cocoa butter so I'm hoping it will leave my skin smooth. I've heard many good reviews from YouTubers SprinkleOfGlitter, Zoella and Gabby about the moisturising qualities of these bath bombs. Fingers crossed!

The Christmas hedgehog-
This bubble bar doesn't have the nicest smell. It has a very strong Jasmine fragrance which is quite overpowering; however, the bath water should dilute this smell and leave you in a Christmas mood!




This is another moisturising product but this one turns your bath water into a frosty blue water. In effect, it reminds me of the sea on a cold winters night but it helps me to relax. When ever I use this style of bubble bar, I find it creates a pleasant atmosphere if you add candles around the bath and have low lighting.

The snow fairy-
Lush bring this shower gel out every year without fail; leading me to believe that it is a popular product. Something many people have told me is that they use this product as a shampoo and it works wonders for their damaged hair and leaves it smelling amazing. 


Snow Fairy smells of candy-floss and all things sweet. I personally pair it with candy mountain as they both have similar colours and an identical smell! Even though it has a powerful smell, it is suitable for sensitive skin and some people claim that it helps their eczema! It lathers extremely well and the smell lingers for the rest of the day (if you shower in the mornings). 

For anyone who loves there bath time, I would definitely recommend LUSH. When entering the store, don't forget your gas masks though because the smell is extremely overpowering! Especially for people with asthma. If the smell is too much, just order online as they have a great delivery service. 

Cheap Christmas room decor!


Before and after pictures

So it's December 1st tomorrow which means that Christmas is fast approaching, although I started singing Christmas songs a good month ago. What can I say? I enjoy being festive early ;)
This is my room decoration this year. It was inspired by Pinterest and Tumblr. It was easy, fast and cheap! I wanted a cosy winter wonderland feel to it and I personally feel that I achieved this.

If you want to give your bedroom a christmas makeover then a Christmas tree is a huge necessity! Green didn't fit in the colour theme I have in my room so I broke tradition and purchased a white tree. For decoration I used a selection of blue and silver baubles as I feel the colours compliment each other very well.

For some reason I had it in my head that I NEEDED Christmas bedding to complete the look so I bought this red and white Rudolph style bedding. They only did this bedding for double beds and I had a single bed. I was so desperate for it that I switched my single duvet for a double one. It drowns my bed a little bit but the atmosphere it creates is definitely worth it! 

Above my bed, I replaced the silver purse and mac lipsticks with two, LED figurines. The one on the left is a snowman and on the right, a penguin. These were extremely cheap and I purchased them for detail and added light for when it's dark.
