Relaxing at Christmas! πŸ›€

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! πŸ›€ 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 πŸ‘

How do you relax? Any bath product recommendations? 

Ho Ho Ho

Lush Haul πŸ›€

I’ve been waiting until I’ve had a chance to have a nice long bath before doing this blog post so that I could show you the bath bombs in action. 

So here goes! 

First up, the Dragon egg bath bomb.

Feel ready to soar’      Β£3.75

This is the one that I used in my bath this morning, it’s really cool. 

On the outside it is white but once it goes into the water it fizzes and the centre of the Dragons egg is revealed…

This bath bomb contains lemon, jasmine and it has popping candy in too! (Don’t eat it thought πŸ˜›)

Next up is my favourite Lush bath bomb, The Comforter. ‘Berry yourself under a fruity blanket’      Β£4.95

I’ve mentioned this one before because I love it! I always pick this one up when I’m in Lush, it comes from their bubble bar slice range. It’s so lovely, berry yourself in the fruity aromas πŸ“πŸ’πŸŽπŸ‹πŸ‘

I also went for the Honey Bee. Take the sting out’      Β£3.50 

This contains honey, sweet wild orange and aloe Vera. This one is quite sweet & summery.

This is the Rose Jam Bubbleroon. For a rosier mood and softer skin’       Β£3.95     

It’s a Pink-tastic, glittery macaroon shaped bomb with a rose design on top.

It’s so pretty. This one contains Rose oil, coconut oil, shea butter & lemon oil.

I also picked up a seasonal bath bomb…

                            πŸŠπŸ‚πŸπŸŽƒ 

This Pumpkin one is so cute and smells divine!  ‘Oh my! Pie!’     Β£3.95

I was drawn to it when I saw it as I’m loving autumnal things at the moment but when I saw it had cinnamon in it I wasn’t sure. Cinnamon is a scent I’m not really into at all but once I smelt it I changed my mind.

It’s scent is pumpkin (of course!) Sweet vanilla & cinnamon (as mentioned) I think the cinnamon is very subtle and the main smell is the sweet vanilla which I love. 

And finally…

I picked up their Ocean salt face and body scrub. Scrub and soften’  I got the 120ml pot which retails at Β£8.50. 

I also used this in my bath this morning. It makes your skin feel so soft & fresh.

The scrub has lashings of fine sea salt to scrub and clean, organic limes to brighten and avocado butter to soften the skin.

I love this and would definatly recommend this alongside their bath bombs for a proper pamper!

Let me know what your favorite Lush products are or any that you would recommend πŸ‘

Until next time,
