lush father christmas

I love bath bombs. I have a huge collection and they're what I ask for every birthday / Christmas. I sit there completely fascinated by them and the gorgeous colours that fill the water with just one little fizzy ball. If you ready my blog regularly you'll have noticed my growing obsession with products from Lush. I bought this quite long ago and completely forgotten about it. I put it in my wardrobe and for about 2 months I've been opening it to the lovely smell of this bath bomb and I've been wondering what it was! Anyway, I was clearing out old clothes and found this - the source of the smell that seems to be haunting me!




I initially bought this Father Christmas bath bomb as a spur-of-the-moment thing (happens all of the time in Lush!). It smells really nice and I thought it would turn my bath water a lovely pink colour. When I dropped it in my bath I thought it'd become mouldy because it came out bright green! I quickly browse a few blogs with reviews of this and found out it was supposed to be green - panic over!

You can't really see clearly here but it contains little red glitter bits which look really weird when they're floating on the top of the water. It's very festive - the tub was filled with green water and little red glitters and swirls just laying on the top. I found it really left my skin smelling and feeling very nice and soft. I found it smelling very citrusy and quite strong but it is gorgeous! Just like the Snow Fairy shower gel, this beauty is only available  at Christmas. :( Next time, grab one whilst you can!

001. A girl can never have too many purses. This one from River Island is so pretty.

002. Good Morning Hope by Essie is such a gorgeous pale pink colour.

003. Very cute and pretty gold charmed bracelet. 

004. This gorgeous little tea light holder will be perfect for when I get my bedroom redecorated. It will be accompanied by my beloved Baby Powder Yankee Candle tea light!

005. I love the smell of this and the aroma of Yankee Candles actually is so noticeable. It smells so fresh.

Hellooo everybody, what a stressful week it's been! This week has been such a mad one. I've been revising for all 3 exams which I had this week - Maths, Biology and Chemistry. Who makes it acceptable to have exams the first week you're back into school, never mind the second day!

I've not been posting as much for the past couple of weeks because of all the revising and I've just been too busy to sit down and write for an hour. There's not enough time in the day, I tell you! When I have had a moment to sit down and chill out I've tried writing lots of posts but I feel like they're too rushed and I always seem to be getting writer's block. :( I don't want to write and publish a post to my blog if I'm not 100% happy with it.

So, this was basically just to say I'll almost certainly start writing more posts soon and I'll be giving my blog the love and attention it needs again! :)

Oh, one last thing - I'm also now on bloglovin'! If you have a bloglovin' account I'd be honoured if you give my follow button a little nudge :) Click here for a link to my account.

Have a lovely rest of your week!

Today I took a lovely little walk around the reservoir on the edge of the Peak District - well, it wasn't so little because it was about 5 miles! Here's just a few photos I took :)
