YOG NOG SOAP | LUSH

Lush - Yog Nog £3.40 /100g

Hello lovelies, today I have for you a very festive soap from the new Christmas range at Lush, I fell in love with this at first scent rather than sight although it is pretty cool looking also. It reminds me instantly of cinder toffee, does anyone eat that stuff? Its delicious! 

This soap lathers up like a dream and makes you smell like a huge cinder toffee, with hints of fudge and other festive scents, it is very creamy and also contains moisturing properties being soya yoghurt and it also has a very been very generously dusted with cocoa powder so that will also keep your skin feeling lovely and smooth. 

I love everything about this soap, I am not hugely a massive fan of soap usually it just always seem pointless to me I would rather use shower gels and things like that, but this makes my bathroom smell amazing and it feels so lovely on my skin. It is very festive and makes me smell edible and delicious when I get out. I now need a yog nog moisturiser in my life, come on lush! Although the scent does linger for quite a while so you smell yummy going to bed. I will definitely be buying more of this before it goes out of stock and also have my eye on the reindeer soap!

Have you smelt yog nog yet or got your eye on any Lush Christmas goodies?

MUMMY MONDAY | SNOW DOME FUN & FIRST TRIMESTER IN PREGNANCY

Hello lovelies, on Saturday we had a lovely family day out, we started the morning by Dan taking Oscar for a good kick around at the park and feeding the ducks whilst I did all the house chores then we made our way to the Snow-dome in Tamworth, we couldn't wait to take Oscar tiny tubing for his first time and he absolutely loved it. Everyone who worked there said how adorable he is and it was so lovely to see his little face light up when he was sliding down the big snow slides, he kept shouting weeee. We had a good hour and a bit there playing in the snow, dragging him around the snow on sledges and they had a little snow park there too, we definitely need water proof bottoms next time Oscar had a wet snowy bum after a couple of falls bless him, once we got him all clean and dried we made our way out and looked for somewhere to eat, we didn't realise Tamworth now had a Nando's so we headed straight there and had the biggest chicken feast it was delicious! I had such a great day with my boys and we was all pretty worn out by the time we got home so we all snuggled up and watched Toy Story for the millionth time this year, Oscar loves it!

First Trimester - I'm not going to lie to you its been pretty sh*t, I have been nothing but sick and in agony through out the first three months. I got rushed into hospital a couple of weeks ago and sent to A&E after being in copious pain the night before I wanted to make sure everything was ok with the baby, after 8 hours in hospital everything was fine and I was just told it was a water infection and possible growing pains with it being my second it grows faster and I got to have an early scan to make sure baby bump was ok and he/she was all healthy and growing, was so lovely to see. Oscar has been so sweet since finding out I was pregnant, he has never been so affectionate, he keeps hugging and kissing my little bump and I am trying to make him understand a little more for whats to come for us all. I was really worried and scared when I first found out I was pregnant, it wasn't planned and a lot of issues spiraled through my mind but now I couldn't be happier and I can't wait to have two gorgeous baby's in my life to love unconditionally. I have now hit 13 weeks and the sickness is wearing off a bit so I am hoping it will be a lot better now, the sickness was really bad with Oscar for the first three months then I was fine but with this baby I have been going off a lot more things, my taste buds are completely different this time and next week I get to have another scan to make sure baby number 2 is ok and I will get back to you all. I didn't know whether to post about my pregnancy on here as it might bore some of you but he/she is apart of me and growing inside and this will be great to read back on. I wish I documented everything with Oscar but I will be doing  more mummy posts as they are a huge part of my life.

I hope you all had a lovely weekend and would love to know what you got up to in the comments below x

OCTOBER BEAUTY FAVORITES

Hello lovelies, today I have for you my favorites of the previous month, I;m actually quite early to the party for once this time but don't think this will be a regular thing, I am sure next month I'll be late again, but read on if you want to see what I loved through out October. 

Benefit Majorette - I have worn this every day through out October, when I was wearing make up anyway, it is a cream to powder blusher that just smells amazing! Think peaches, pomegranetes, sweety and floral almost. You can use this as a blusher alone or as the perfect base for your usual blusher for extra oomft and flush but I always use this alone, it is the perfect shade for your cheeks to give it a really healthy glow and just makes you look radiant.

Philip Kingsley Daily damage defence - Again used all through out October every time I have washed my hair this has been sprayed vigorously through out my hair then brushed through with my tangle teezer, it has been keeping my hair healthy, knot free, smelling good and protecting it through heat products, if I have washed my hair on a night time I put all this through, brush it through then leave it in as a conditioner spray as it has got condition properties, but if I am using a heat tool the next day I give it another little spritz to make sure my hair is well protected. This product really is genius and has everything you need in one bottle, I would actually be confident in to say that I would happily through everything hair related in my hair care draw and just have this! It has been my hair saviour and this 60ml bottle is perfect for travelling with. After seeing how much I wrote about this product in my favorites I really should of done a solid review on its own, but there you go, you all need it in your life, trust me! I will be forever repurchasing this miracle hair spray, thank you Philip K.

Bobbi Brown Gel eye liner - This eye liner is fricken amazing, if you have read my post about the Bobbi Brown event I went to not long ago you would have seen that I wrote that I thought it would be impossible for me to use one of these gel eye liner pots but with the Bobbi Brown eye liner brush it is a dream to use and sooo easy! It literally glides on so smoothly and stays put for hours and hours with no smudges or anything. The key is to use confident sweeps rather than doing a little bit at a time which is where it usually goes wrong, you know when your line is just getting bigger and bigger and you just now look like you have a black eye, no one wants that. This is so simple, if I can do it you can! I have even put my trusty Maybelline Black shock gel eyeliner pen down and this has replaced it, its amazing.

Benefit It's potent eye cream - I am quite a bad blogger here, but I never actually used to use eye cream that much, I am getting better as I am coming up to 24 and I am getting worried about crows feet and any wrinkle really, I don't want to be addicted to botox so I need to keep on top of things. This eye cream has been so lovely to use, it sinks into the skin beautifully, the pot is adorable! Not a strong scent to it at all, I have noticed a difference in my dark eye bags, which has also been helped with lots of water and getting into a routine, no more late nights! But I have really enjoyed using this eye cream and will be thinking of repurchasing this in the near future.

Topshop Wicked - This has been the most perfect lip product for me through out autumn, the perfect berry lip toned lipstick which I have just adored, I have never had so many compliments from a lipstick and everyone saying how well suited to it I am and everyone asking me what it is. It stays put for hours, it doesn't smudge everywhere, it feels lovely on the lips and its is very opaque.

Nars Cruella - The only red lip product I have ever fallen madly deeply in love with, I think this deep cherry red really compliments my skin tone and brings out my eyes more strangely. It is such a stunning shade, it stays put through wind, rain, dancing, drinking, eating, you name it this lipstick could pull through it! I just love it, the only downfall is that it can latch on to your dry patches but if you keep those lips well looked after you wont have any problems with this little gem at all, its the best red ever!
