I always like to feel fresh and this Radox works a treat and smells great. I love to keep my face nice and dirt free.

The LOVE I Have For Soap And Glory

This huge soap and glory set i received as a xmas present from my mum. I love this so much inside you get everything a girl loves and needs which all of it smells amazing! It also comes in a handy little bag and the box I'm sure i will get use out of to store products. I haven't tried all of the bits inside yet but I'm working my way through. 

At the moment these two products i have been using so much and to be fair they seem to be going a very long way. As i have wanted to relax feel pampered and refreshed over the christmas break these are the best for it! 

ORANGEASM body wash - This smells so fresh and as you can tell of oranges. Every time i have used this my skin has felt super clean and also tingly fresh when I'm done. I have also felt more energetic and awake for the day. 

WHIPPED CLEAN shower butter - This stuff is AMAZING i have never felt so soft and smooth after using a product. Also the smell is a dream! A small amount of this goes a long way along with the body wash. This also doesn't bring me up in a rash which is really good as quite a few other brands do as my skin is quite sensitive.

Check out there full range of products here at boots as i really recommend them. As some of there products are quite pricey i would purchase these as a little treat here and then for myself!

2015 Happy New Year

Firstly i hope that everyone had a wonderful christmas and new year! I have had the BEST time and feel so lucky to be surrounded by some amazing friends, boyfriend and family. I haven't really blogged since october as i haven't been well at certain points and also super busy so i just want to say a big sorry for that. This year i am planning to blog as much as i can! I promise as much as i can guys! This new year my main focus is to get healthy, focus on creating some new textiles projects (maybe try kick off my business) and trying not to worry about anything as this always seems to get in the way of what i do in life. Im certainly looking forward to a happy and enjoyable 2015. Also i would just like to say thank you for everyone for spoiling me this xmas i really appreciate everything that i got and loved spending time with my loved ones too.

Thought i would add this pic in of the tree as my mum was super proud of it

Quick Stop At Primark

I popped into primark at Tottenham Court road the other day just to pick up a pair of cheap pumps for work. I ended up buying a few other bits which caught my eye. 

This black cardigan is well worth the purchase as the weather seems to be a bit out of control recently. Its perfect to throw on with a T-shirt and jeans or i bought it to pair with the dress i bought. They do a range of colours and the three quarter length batwing sleeves are perfect for the current weather situation and layering. 

Batwing cardigan - £12

This dress is my FAVE not only was it £5 but it is so comfy to wear. The tie at the bottom is really cool to as its made like shirt sleeves! with a pair of tights and black wedge heeled boots or even some flats its perfect to dress smartly with this one item. This is what i love with primark dresses they can be style so many different ways and can be worn casual or smart.

Shirt dress £5 (sale) originally £13 

I swear by these pumps. They are the most comfy shoes i have had from primark in a long time. They do a good range of colours and patterns too. I have quite long toes so pumps normally show some toe clevage haha! but these have a longer section at the front from there other pumps which they cover very well. For £4 they are perfect to wear with any outfit, i personally find them so good to wear to work. However they are quite thin so i advise not to wear them constantly to work as you may feel like your walking bare foot! Especially if you work long hours. But for £4 you can't go wrong.

Pumps £4 

Quick Cookie Fix

Soooo here something a bit different. I decided to share this as all you guys out there that love a quick sweet fix or don't have time to bake should give this a try! Im no expert on baking so the Betty Crocker cookie mix is £1.49 from Tesco. All you do is add two table spoons of water to the mix. Use a teaspoon to scoop mix onto a baking tray and then they go in the oven for 10-12 mins. 

They are so yummy especially when they are still warm! The mix makes up to 8 cookies but you could make more out of the mix depending on the size and thickness of the cookies you want. The cupcake mix from Betty Crocker is also amazing too. Overall its quick, cheap and easy.
