A relaxing bath 🛀🎃

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 £3.95 🍂🍊🍁🎃

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 🙂

What’s in my bag? 🎒

I love watching ‘whats in my bag?’ videos on yotube so I thought I would do one for my blog. 

So, what’s in my bag? 

Let’s start with the all important bag! This little black bag is from Primark and was only  £9. I love the faux leather material & suede material on the front. The gold detailing & clasp are really cute too.

I love that it has both long & short straps too and although it looks small it fits a lot in it.

Let’s take a look inside…

I always carry my purse & a hairbrush where ever I go. I love this purse, sage green is one of my favourite colours  (one of our wedding colours too, ahhh ♡) & the patterned birds are really cute. It’s nice and big so fits lots in it too! 

I got this lovely big Brush from Primark for £1.50, bargin!

I also always have a book with me & if you’ve seen my August favourites you’ll know I’m currently reading this Nicholas Sparks book 👍 

I love this body mist from Zoella original beauty range. Blissful Mistful ☆ it smells gorgeous.

Sunglasses 😎 The weather hasn’t been too bad this summer so I’ve carried these in my bag ready. I love having decent prescription sunglasses, I always hated not being able to have nice ones or just not being able to see!

I would defiantly recommend this Revolution Lip amplification lip gloss as it has such good staying power. I’ve eaten and drank and it’s still in place with a good colour. 

I love this shade ‘Joy’ it’s a lovely plum autumnal colour. 🍂🍁

And finally…

I popped one of these fruity bars, from Aldi in my bag incase I got peckish around town. This is blueberry and seeds flavour. It comes from their ‘Foodie market’ range and they do lots of other yummy fruit flavours to satisfy your sweet tooth. 

I hope you enjoyed this blog post, let me know if you did! What do you always carry in your bag? 

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂

August favourites 🤗

I’ve wanted to do a favourites post for ages but I’ve never got round to it. I might have mentioned some of these things in other posts but these are a few things that I have been loving this month.

First up, beauty & skincare…

I have definatly mentioned these first two before and I am still loving these so much! 

Maybelline brow satin in the shade ‘Medium Brown’. This is a make up staple for me now, it’s so easy to apply.

Bourjois Rough velvet edition in the shade 07 ‘Nude-ist’. This glides on really nicely and dries matte. I 💟 this liquid lipstick, it’s my favourite out of all of my lipsticks. 💄

Revolutions New Pro Glow highlighter palette. These colours are so beautiful and shimmery. I particularly like the gold shades as I haven’t tried these in a highlighter before.

And finally…

Niveas intensive hydration after sun moisturiser. We discovered this on our honeymoon and it was perfect to apply after being in the sun all day and for making your skin feel really fresh and rich in moisture.

I love the smell of this too as it takes me right back to our honeymoon…ahhh ⛱

Next up, fashion.

I love this t-shirt from Primark. I love the stripes and the heart patch is super cute. This was only £5.

I’ve been wearing my new Havaianas a lot this month! We’ve had some pretty nice weather so these have been perfect and they are super comfy.

These were only £21 after my 10% discount, I got them in Office.

Let’s talk books…

I love reading and it’s one of my favourite hobbies. These two I have particularly enjoyed and they are by two of my favourite authors. 

The first one I’ll talk about is ‘That girl from nowhere’ by Dorothy Koomson. 

‘Clemency Smittson was adopted as a baby and the only connection she has to her birth mother is a cardboard box hand-decorated with butterflies. Now an adult, Clem moves to Brighton, where she was born, and meets someone who knows all about the butterfly box and what happened to her birth parents.’

This was one of the books I read on our honeymoon and I couldn’t put it down!

I’d also recommend her novel ‘Goodnight, beautiful’ that I read this month too.

I am currently reading ‘See me’ by Nicholas Sparks. I’m up to chapter 8 and I’m loving it already, his novels are just so easy to read.

‘Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. At 28, he’s focused on getting his teaching degree and avoiding all the places and people that proved so destructive in his past. The last thing he’s looking for is a serious relationship. But when he crosses paths with Maria Sanchez one rainswept night, his carefully structures life is turned upside down.’

And finally, food!

A couple of food items that I’ve really been enjoying this month both come from Aldi. This is where we do our weekly shop so I just picked these up to give them a try and ended up loving them. 

This fizzy drink is Raspberry and Mint flavour, it is so refreshing and tastes so fresh and yummy.

The Granola squares in the picture above ☝ are super tasty! They are ‘Crispy oats & Honey Granola bites’ little squares of oaty goodness, be careful though, they are super moreish 🙊

What have you been enjoying the month? Let me know 😎

Until next time,

Roseanne 🙂
