my blogging break♡

Hello my blog readers,

You may have been wondering where I have been recently and I have popped on here just to inform you all about my absence!
 I am currently on a BLOGGING BREAK...dun dun dun....

I have several mocks and important things in the upcoming weeks and although blogging is one of my favourite things to do in my spare time I feel as though I need a break. Over the past year, I have been on a roll with blogging every week but I feel as though I need to take a few weeks off to re-think my blog and come up with fresh content as well as prioritising revision etc.  I will be back after all my mocks are over and I can spend time into preparing new posts for you all.

Thank you so much for all your support over the years!

Emily xx

an autumn lush haul♡


Whoops..what can I say. I love Lush and ever since I heard the final release dates I was counting down the days 'til I could get my hands on the new products. I adore all things Christmas based and all things bath based. I basically wanted a massive excuse to go into Lush and spend my money.  I tried to pick the least Christmassy things and tried to lean towards the more Autumn products..which is basically my excuse to go into Lush and buy the Christmas stuff at a later date! 


Candy Mountain Bubble Bar 
This is a returning classic for me. It's the Candy Mountain bubble bar which has the classic Snow Fairy scent which is a sickly sweet candy smell. I love Snow Fairy in small doses, otherwise it gives me a headache. This bubble bar is a pink and white mountain with slight shimmer on the outside. If you didn't know, you break off a piece of this bubble bar and then crumble it under running water which creates lots of bubbles!


Butter Bear Bath Bomb 
I love this so much! This was one of my favourites from last years Christmas range. Butter Bear bath bomb is the Butterball scent in a bear shape. It smells like subtle vanilla and contains cocoa butter chunks which melt in the bath and leave your skin feeling silky smooth. I really recommend this for the non-glitter and non-colour lovers or for those with sensitive skin because it has amazing qualities and it is just plain white. I will continue to purchase this over and over this festive period. 


Cinders Bath Ballistic 
This is a bath ballistic I have never owned before and I don't know why because I love the smell! It smells like hot fruit punch or mulled wine. It smells a little spicy and a little fruity. I think I read somewhere that it contains popping candy so it sounds like a fireplace crackling. I am excited to use this. I'm guessing it turns your bath an orangey shade!



Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar 
I'm not always as keen on the Halloween ranges at Lush but this caught my fancy last year and I never bought it! I'm so happy I did this time round. The sparkly pumpkin is a pumpkin shape covered in gold glitter. It looks so pretty! It's quite a citrusy scent. It contains juniperberry, lime oil and grapefruit oil. It's not exactly a warming festive smell but it is quite refreshing. I wish they had made it smell like pumpkin pie or something!



Star Dust Bath Bomb
This is a new release from Lush this year. It's another bath bomb. It's plain white on the outside but the lady in Lush said it contains stars and underneath you can see a bit of blue. This smells like vanilla like Butterbear but it's a bit fresher as it contains Rosewood and Bergamot oil. 


Yog Nog Bath Bomb
This turned my white pillow a powdered orange colour...whoops! I believe this is a new release as I believe it was a soap before. It smells like christmas baking and caramel and contains lovely ingredients like clove bud oil which make it smell like Christmas. I also read that it contains cocoa butter which acts like a bath melt and makes your skin silky smooth! It turns your bath a bright yellow shade.
