Hello Gorgeous.

So, for christmas, my brother actually got me an amazing gift. My Lush obsession is becoming a little unhealthy (and gradually more expensive!), so he got me the Hello Gorgeous box.

I am obsessed. I love it sooooo much!! It is such a lovely gift! I was so excited when I unwrapped it, yes, even though it's in a pretty box and had ribbon around it, he still made the effort to wrap it!! Bless! :)

It's a lovely little flowery, purple gift box filled with gorgeous goodies!!!

The box contains;

• Think Pink Bath Ballistic
• The Comforter Bubble Bar 200g
• Vanilla Deelite 100g
• Rub Rub Rub shower scrub (140g)
• Gorgeous moisturiser (10g trial size)

As you can see, I've not used by Think Pink yet. I'm waiting until I've used up the bubble bar!! but I love this little ball! anything that changes the colour of my bath water is fine by me!!

I am in love with this bubble bar. My sister picked it up in the shop and I wasn't keen on the smell, it smells a bit like strong blackcurrant juice! but you only need a small chunk crumbled under a running tap and my bath is bright pink and full of bubbles and smells lovely and fruity!

The Vanilla Deelite feels so lovely on my skin! and I love anything vanilla so I knew I was going to love that.
It's not an overpowering scent but it smells sweet and comforting and kinda makes me wanna lick my arm.....

The Rub Rub Rub shower scrub is amazing. I put this on dry before I get in the bath or shower and when I wash it off my skin feels heavenly!!!

The Gorgeous moisturiser I've only used once and it's lovely but I can't see myself buying a full size version of this because I have really dry skin and tend to stick to what works for me otherwise it really dries out, but if you're skin isn't as dry as mine this is literally 'gorgeous'.


I really do love Lush, especially when I go and select bits and bobs myself to put together as a gift for someone, but their gift boxes really are perfect gifts because you can get thee smaller ones as a lovely treat or you can go all out and get a big one to really spoil someone/yourself!!

I think they are pretty reasonably priced too, that's what I love about them, there's something to suit most budgets!

Anyone would be lucky to get one!

Even my brother was impressed. After I opened  it he said, "That's a boss shop that, it smells dead girly and bathy and nice."

What are your favourite Lush products or gift boxes?!

p.s boyfriend, if you read this, flowers give me a sore throat and make me sneeze....a bath bomb/bubble bar would be fine if you would like to say sorry after any fights we may possibly fight in the future!...not that I want to fight, but if we do, it's probably because I'm skint and have run out haha! ;)

Body Beautiful?

I didn't know whether or not to write this post because I know it's a touchy subject.

I can't and would never speak on behalf of somebody but myself, as I only know about myself and my body.

I've struggled with my body the last few years. I used to be slimmer than I am now, then I got a boyfriend and we stayed in all the time and got takeaways or we went out to eat. Obviously it was fine for him because he had a naturally fast metabolism and had a hard time putting weight on. Good for him, bad for me.

So, yeah, we split up and I was trying things on for a 'girls night out' and I realised how much my body had actually changed. I actually cancelled on my friends, even though it was all in aid of cheering me up, got into my pj's and cried...and ate.

I've always loved eating. Like, I REALLY love eating. It's one of my favourite things ever, but I knew I had to go on a diet to feel better, so I did, and I made myself miserable. I can't not eat the things I like because if I restrict myself, I'll just eat wayyy more than I normally would anyway.

But I decided exercise was the way forward, I stopped my diet and decided I HAD to eat breakfast even though I hate eating it, and I had to have lunch and dinner at a reasonable time and with loads of veg or with fruit after each  meal. Anyways, after about.....3/4 months I lost 25lbs and I've managed to stay at that weight for the last 2 years, well not, that's a total lie, I've put on 4lbs, but I'm already on to getting rid of that.

I don't want to be thin, I know I'll never be thin, I'm not built to be thin, that's not what I'm aiming for. I'm aiming for happy and healthy. So after new year, I'm going to take up running again and eat more fruit and veg, that's my plan.

I'm still not very comfortable with my weight because I'm only 5'1 and a size 10/12 and my frame is quite small so it doesn't sit right on me. I do kinda like having a bum though, I must admit! I don't like to be called 'curvy' though, I don't know why, but one of my friends said it once and I was just got defensive. I think that's the medias fault though, putting labels such as 'curvy' and 'skinny' on people, I hate that. And the term 'real woman' for someone 'curvy' like, erm, hello? all women are real....aren't they?? I mean, if you pinch us, we're all actually here, real, not a figment of your imagination.... Sorry, I'll stop before that turns into a proper rant.

My boyfriend now is super active and always moving so I don't see him all the time, but he's fit and it kind of makes me want to do more...I haven't yet but I am determined,

Another thing about putting weight on  in those years, my boobs got bigger....I had quite big boobs anyway, I was a DD by the time I was 14/15 and I've always hated having boobs, in school I always felt weird because I had them before everyone but this one other girl, and I hated PE and getting changed and having to run and all the boys being really immature. When I put weight on, they got even bigger and they're still the same size now.

I'm still the same, I get so self conscious, I never, ever have them out, I get so paranoid.

However, I'm thinking as a new years resolution, I'm not going to make stupid ones like, 'I'll keep my room tidy' or 'I will limit my pizza intake to one a month' - ( impossible ones! ), but to accept that I have boobs and that, it's not so bad, everyone has them now, and if I like a dress but it shows a bit of cleavage, I don't have to immediately dismiss it.

I'm feeling a tiny bit more confident about myself now that I have started to relax, I've started wearing dresses too! I'm glad that I got myself to this point though, on that night I cancelled on my friends, one of my first thoughts was, 'I'll never get another boyfriend', and it really pisses me off that I thought that, now I can honestly say, I would never change to make someone like me and I'm glad I didn't. I did get another boyfriend, despite not looking that much different to when I felt so rubbish, and he just adds to it, he's so nice to me and makes me feel good. I'm happy, and when I'm happy, I smile... a LOT and I don't panic over the slice of pizza or cake I just ate, and life is easier that way!

But, I am going to look after myself next year, get fit and work with what I've got!!

I don't know why I wrote this. I think it was just so I have it in writing to remind myself to work at it. :)

Home & Away

So, I'm feeling a little glum lately. I keep catching colds so I'm always sick and feeling crap and find myself curled up in my pj's watching the soaps with my sister.

I am addicted to Home & Away. Seriously though, some of the girls in that show definitely make me want to get off my bum and go to the gym and eat better!!! I am seriously lacking that motivation right now, and am not comfortable in my size 12 jeans, I'm only 5'1 and it just doesn't feel right. I must admit though, I love having a bum...boobs not so much! haha.

Just thought I'd share my three fave girls from the show! - Yes, I know how sad I am posting about a soap but I definitely need a holiday in summer looking more like this haha! This is a motivational post for myself really!!


Samara Weaving who plays Indi Walker is just super gorgeous like, in a model kind of perfect way.

Demi Harman who plays Sasha Bezmel, Indi's half sister, she is so gorgeous and so adorable! I love the retro, quirky kind of style she has.

And the there is Rhiannon Fish. This girl is unreal, like she is just one of those people who would look still perfect and flawless in a bin bag!! 

I am going to look at this post daily and get off the couch, even if it's for a quick walk!! 

But yeah, if you love a bit of drama and good looking girls...and boys of course, I say give it a go!!

Too many girl crushes to be had!! haha!!

Who are your girl crushes??!!
