Happy body, happy mind! đŸ›€đŸ™đŸ˜Œ

Hi! I’m back, it’s been too long (Over a week!!) I feel like I’ve had no time at the moment so I took this evening out to have a bit of ‘me time’ and to actually write a blog post. 

It’s really important to take time out to relax especially if you feel like things are getting on top of you. Do things that you enjoy but havn’t been able to do, preferably something stress free and relaxing. Life can be busy and chaotic and we often put ourselves last, I think we are all guilty of this from time to time.

So what do I like to do to chill out? I love a good pamper. I’ve really got into bath/skin/body products recently and I just love an opportunity to soak and freshen up. 

I started by running myself a lovely hot bath and getting out my products.

For my bath: 

  • Lush ‘Flamingo’ bubble bar
  • Lush ‘Butterbear’ bath bomb
  • Radox ‘Feel pampered’ bath soak with shea butter and ginger

When I’m in the bath I like to pamper myself further with some lovely skincare…

Skincare/face/body

  • Witch ‘Naturally clear bursting beads’ face wash
  • Vasanti ‘Brighten up!’ Enzymatic face rejuvinator
  • Superdrugs fruity ‘Orange and satsuma’ shower gel
  • Zoella ‘Pretty polished’ sugar scrub 
  • Nspa beauty rituals ‘Radiance boosting’ face mask 
  • Zoella ‘Creamy madly dreamy’ body lotion

After I’d scrubbed with my sugar scrub (this feels lovely rubbed into dry skin and then rinsed off) washed myself & washed my face I then applied my face mask and left this on for 15 minutes. 

I love to wash my hair when I am having a bath too for a completely clean and fresh feeling. Some of my favourite shampoos and conditioners are…

Shampoos and conditioners 

  • Superdrug Anti dandruff ‘Classic care’ shampoo
  • Aussie ‘Miracle moist’ shampoo
  • Argan oil ‘hydrating’ hair mask
  • Kebelo ‘Clarifying’ shampoo (for use once or twice a month, a nice treat!)

Going back to the products in the picture above, I love the Witch face wash and spot products and they have always worked for me going back to my mid teens. I’ve had a few breakouts recently which is why I re purchased the face wash and spot stick, I would 100% recommend their products. 

(Fingers crossed the face mask doesn’t make me break out even more!!)

Once I had washed off the mask I used my Vasanti face rejuvinator. When I’m out of the bath I always apply moisturiser to my face and today I even used my Zoella body lotion. I love the scent of her Creamy madly dreamy body lotion as it is from her original collection, my fave!

Just to mention, I also love candles and wax melts to help me relax so I popped one of my Crumble magic wax melts into my burner. Today I went for Raspberry lemonade that smells so fruity, fizzy and delicious. 

One final pamper product that I used was to give my feet a treat!  I used my foot pedi to get rid of any dry skin, then I used the foot scrub and finally I applied the foot lotion, ahhh.

Ps. A snack and a refreshing drink is always a winner too…

Last but not least, I hadn’t done my gel nails for a while so I thought this would be the perfect way to finish off my pamper evening, especially when I can do it sitting in front of the TV in my pjs! Perfection 👌

I am loving my Sensationail gel nail kit so much and I went for the raspberry/burgundy shade that came in the set, it’s called ‘Miss behave’.

Happy body, happy mind.

My sale bargains! đŸ›

I love shopping so with our Christmas money in hand me and my sister went into town to see what we could pick up in the late December/January sales.

Here’s what I got!

First up I got this lovely fragrance set from Superdrug. 

The set is by Ghost and is their ‘Eclipse’ scent. The set came with a 30ml bottle of the fragrance and a cute rose gold compact mirror. It was only ÂŁ15 and it smells amazing! I havnt had it before but me and my sister just thought it smelt so nice and great for popping in your bag!

Also from Superdrug I managed to grab a few bargains from Zoella’s Christmas range! 

I bought the ‘Best chums’ coin purses for me and my sister. These were only ÂŁ2.99 in the sale. These are so cute.

I also bought her set of three make up bags, these are so pretty so I was so happy to see these in the sale. 

The large bag is clear with a coral strip across the top and Zoella written across the front in the same colour writing. The medium bag is a gorgeous pinky rose gold glitter, it’s beautiful and has Zoella written in white on the front. And finally, the small bag is a material one that says ‘Throw kindness round like confetti’ in rose gold font, I love that quote it’s so lovely.

These were ÂŁ4.99 for all three. They are great to use as make up storage, to pop in your bag or for travelling.

And finally from Zoella’s range I got one of the Christmassy gift sets.

I love the design and packaging of Zoella’s Christmas range with the brown paper look background and printed on ribbon in the corners like it’s been gift wrapped.

This set is the ginger and vanilla fragrance set, pamper yourself with my brand new limited edition fragrance. It comes with a large bottle of the fragrance and a large bottle of her ginger cream body lotion. The design with the little gingerbread men is adorable.

I wasn’t sure about this scent to begin with but it’s definatly growing on me and is quite nice and sweet.

If you’ve seen my blog before you’ll know I love Lush and I missed the Boxing day sale (Gutted!) But when me and my sister went in they still had the ‘Butterbear’ bath bomb on offer. It was half price and only cost 98p!! 

I picked up two for me and two for my sister. I talked about this bath bomb in my Festive Lush Haul, it so lovely for your skin, it makes it super soft because it’s made of  cocoa butter, lovely.

From Boots I got an electric toothbrush. Sounds boring, I know! But highly useful and it was a bargin at ÂŁ20, half the original price. 

Tim got one for Christmas so I thought I might as well get one too. It takes a bit of getting used to but your mouth does feel super clean 👍

And finally, from Waterstones me and my sister picked up Sam and Nic Chapman’s new book ‘Face’. 

It’s a lovely book about all things to do with your face from skincare, make up with different tips and tricks. If you don’t know them Sam and Nic are the ladies behind the ‘Real technique’ make up brushes. I love watching their make up tutorials on their YouTube channel ‘Pixiwoo’ so I can’t wait to look through it properly.

So those are my bargains! I was super happy with them 😊

What did you managed to pick up in the sales? 

Until next time,

Relaxing at Christmas! đŸ›€

We all know how hectic and crazy the preparation for Christmas can be and although I sort of love the craziness it can be a bit overwhelming at times too. I had a list the length of my arm and very few days to get it all done and it was really stressing me out, and at Christmas that’s the worst! So what do you do in that situation? Take yourself away from the stress and give yourself time to relax and enjoy the holidays, then you’ll be ready to face the Christmas tasks ahead. And once your more relaxed those tasks are alot easier to face and aren’t usually as bad as they seem, I mean what could be more christmassy than wrapping & sorting out presents.

Here’s how I wound down, chilled out and relaxed ready for the day ahead…

First up, I ran a lovely bath! 🛀 I love baths so much and I had one Christmas Lush Bath bomb left to use so why not?!

The bath bomb that I had left was my Father christmas one…

I popped this into my bath and it smelt so good.

I didn’t realise he was green inside!! 

I had a moisture bomb face mask left so I thought I would pop this on too! 

If you havnt tried these I definatly would!! They leave your skin feeling so soft. If you want to know more about it my sister wrote about them on her blog, you can check that out here.

Lookin’ good ✌😁

I still hadn’t burnt my Yankee candle wax melt in the scent ‘Christmas cookie’ so I thought, why not do that now too. It smells SO Christmassy & sweet.
And you can’t have a relaxing bath without candles.

& lastly (Once I’d taken the face mask off, of course!!) I grabbed my book to read whilst I soaked…

I decided to start reading one of the Harry Potter books (yes, again) and I went for the 6th book ‘The half blood prince’. I love the later books as you learn so much about the story and they tie up lots of loose ends. This is one of my favourites. 

So that’s how I relaxed and I felt much better and ready to tackle all those Christmas jobs once I’d had some me time 👍

How do you relax? Any bath product recommendations? 

Ho Ho Ho

A relaxing bath đŸ›€đŸŽƒ

I love a bath! So I thought I would do a little blog post about my bath today & how I like it.

I like to run a nice hot bath first and then choose a scent for my burner & a bath bomb.

I went for my ‘Aromatherapy’ scent for my burner as it smells just like a spa, soooo relaxing 🕯

I thought it would be good to use my Halloween, autumnal Lush bath bomb. I mentioned this in my ‘Lush Haul’ blog post, so don’t forget to check that! 

This bomb is called ‘Oh My! Pie!’ And was ÂŁ3.95 🍂🍊🍁🎃

It smells SO lovely. It has hints of pumpkin & cinnamon although this is quite subtle. The main scent is sweet vanilla, so good! 

Here it goes …

When it fizzes it looks really cool as the face of the pumpkin is really prominent, it’s a bit spooky 🎃

This doesn’t create as much bubbles as the bath bars but leaves a lovely vibrant orange colour to the water and it smells great.

(Excuse my bathroom floor & the paint brush that you can see in this picture, we are currently doing some home decor)

I love how seasonal this is and I will definatly be looking out for more of Lush’s seasonal products from now on, roll on Christmas!  

Any bath isn’t complete without a good book to read as you relax and soak. I am currently reading ‘Sleepless in Manhattan’ By Sarah Morgan. 

It’s such an easy read and I was pleased to find out that there are more books that follow the same characters in a sort of series.

I love the New York setting too, it’s really cool. 🗽🌇🌉

Here’s the blurb just to give you a little insight…

‘Cool, calm and competent, events planner Paige Walker loves a challenge. But when she loses the job she loves, Paige must face her biggest challenge of all – going it alone. 

Except launching her own events company is nothing compared to hiding her crush on Jake Romano – her brother best friend, one of New Yorkshire most eligible bachelors… and the only man who’s ever broken her heart.

When Jane offers Paige’s fledgling company a big chance, the ever present chemistry between them starts giving her Sleepless nights. But could Paige be the girl to make the man who trusts no-one take a chance on forever! 

There’s no better way to start the day 👌

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
