BEAUTY: Vanilla BodyShop collection

Hey, how was your week? Mine was good, thanks for mentally asking! Today i will be writing a blog post on the body shops vanilla collection. Now i will have to admit first that i did not purchase this myself, it was a gift, for my birthday. And a mighty fine gift it was! I adore it; i had to snap pictures before it had all disappeared. The collection consists of a shower gel, a Body polish, a Body butter and a soap and i love them all dearly.

The body wash looks wet in the photos, its not i promise. As i said before, I really love this set i think its such a lovely sent and it very calming and not too strong(I cant stand too strong sweet sents) they have it perfect.
Im not really one for going into the body shop usually but have actually seen lots of blog posts on several different blogs that i follow and so think i will be going in the soon to see if i can find some goodies to give as presents to people. My brother is on my list. So if anyone has any recommendations for a good product they sell please comment or DM me on twitter or instagram, links are in the sidebar.
Have a lovely week! Cheerio

BEAUTY: Best lush buys of the year

Hellooo!! Unfortunately, 2014 is drawing to a close. However this then means that its is an appropriate time to start reflecting on 2014, obviously starting off with the best things i have bought from lush(because lush is the best).

Popcorn lip scrub

Angels on bare skin Cleanser

I could eat this, technically i couldn't but you know. This stuff has a sent that can send you to sleep; Its so good. With ground almonds, lavender, rose and chamomile blue essential oils all crammed into this pot you know when you open it you going to get bombarded with an amazing sent. This gives your skin a natural glow and sill even out your skin tone. If you haven't already smelt this pot of happiness please, please, please go to your nearest lush and just smell it, you wont be disapointed.

Ultrabland

Ultrabland is one of those products you just know will only be useful to you if its the type of product you like, personally i love it, but i know many who disagree. It is a gentle face cleanser that helps all skin types. Its a think soft creamy cleanser, which is what i think puts people off. I love it i think it really helps clear out my skin and defiantly leaves my skins feeling revitalized and fresh.

Cupcake Facemask

This is like a packet of chocolate but in a facemask. I don't think i can begin to comprehend actually how much of a life saver this product is! It is specifically for teenage skin, so is very effective at all the things the teenage skin is prone to do. It calms breakouts and absorbs excess oils from the skin leaving you skin feeling fresh as a daisy but still clean and soft. With coco butter, linseed, peppermint and sandal wood oils the smell of this facemask is unbelievable.

Have a good week, cheerio

LIFESTYLE: Reminiscing 2014

so I know this blog post was probably meant to go up 2 or even 3 weeks ago but I unfortuanty had some bad thing happen to myself and then therefor had to just shut off from a few things in my life. Finally, I have got round to writing this blog post. Reminiscing 2014. Good and bad. (PS: I'm writing this post at approximately 4.15am and haven't slept all night so bear with me)

2014 for me, was not the best year I have had but a eventful one non the less.

Some of my highlights have included:

 I've been to festivals: this year I atteneded 2 festivals and honestly they are where I plan to be this summer. I went to South west live which was incredible. Saw many good bands and artists and screamed very loudly with one of my very good friends called Maddie.

I was a  bridesmaids at my dads gorgeous wedding, I was chief mini bridesmade at my dads wedding, one of the best days of my life if I'm quite honest. I thoroughly forgot everything unfortunate that weekend and just concentrated on having a good time.

Spent summers at the beach, Wolacombe is my fave but we went to bude and had a mini holiday where I went on a surf board for the first time ever which was so fun. Still need some practise but by this time next year... Hopefully.

Picked beautiful flowers, this one to others could be quite strange but to me picking my own flowers are usually the best bunch of flowers as they are chosen my you (asdas Moto, asks) I really enjoyed last spring going out and picking flowers.

Spending a fab 24 hours in London with my aunties, this was my birthday present from both my twin aunties and it was one of the funniest 24 hours Ive spent in a while. We got up to so much. We want to a outdoor pop up cinema to watch dirty dancing(fave film revert!!) will upload pics because pictures speak louder than words here.

I got served underage at a restaurant, so um yeah that happened. Only 2 cocktails.

Attended some pretty sick birthday parties, I'm 13, what do you expect me to be getting up too.

Spent some really wonderful days at national trust houses/ grounds, if you know me well, you will know how much I enjoy period dramas and great big old buildings. Therefor spending the day pretending I was Part of a pride and prejudice scene was a day well spent for me.

Luna having her puppies, yes this hasn't officially been said on my blog yet but it is official of insta on the 4th on January at approximately 3am Luna began giving birth. By 6am all 6 puppies where born and what a delight it is to have them. 6 healthy girls.

So long
