Feeling Festive...

Is anybody else feeling really festive this year? Because I definitely am...

First up, I will apologise for not finishing Blogtober. I lasted until day 24 (which was better than I ever thought I'd do!) but I unfortunately did fail miserably a week before it ended. But I am back now!!

I don't know what it is this year, but I am feeling festive like no other this year. I always get into the Christmas spirit very early, but this year I literally cannot wait. I love everything to do with the autumn/winter seasons especially Christmas. Another reason why I think I love Christmas is because I am away from home at university so I know as soon as I finish this term, I am home for three weeks with my family and friends having lots of fun and happy times! I am excited to start my Yankee Candle advent calendar this year too, because I have only ever had the chocolate advent calendars (Cadbury’s wins every time), so that is something else new to look forward to! I can’t wait to go Christmas shopping, to the Christmas markets, ice skating, hot chocolates and candle lit lush baths all the time. My heaven! I love spending time with the family over Christmas when everyone is together. Putting the Christmas decorations up, winter walks with my dog and big scarves. I currently have my Yankee Candle in Christmas Cookie burning also!

I hope you are all looking forward to the Christmas season and maybe even getting excited already like me too! I’m going to go and watch The Holiday now – one of my favourites for this time of year!

Lots of love, Em x

Festive Lush Sale

I know that my last post was about Lush as well, but I just can't resist Lush products during the festive season. My last post was showing the purchases I made when I saw that the holiday collection had arrived in Lush. This post is to show the bargains I grabbed during the Lush sale after Christmas had passed! 

Back four from left to right: Snowcake soap, Father Christmas Bath Ballistic, Christmas Eve Bubble Bar, Ponche Shower Gel. Front four from left to right: Christmas Eve Bubble Bar, So White Bath Ballistic, Cinders Bath Ballistic, So White Bath Ballistic. 

I went to the Lush sale around three or four days after Christmas and still managed to get a few bargains! The Lush sale is somewhere that I usually head down to every Boxing Day (I'm sad, I know) but this year I couldn't make it. I still managed to grab a happy little carrier bag of goodies for the bath!

I got a piece of the Snowcake soap, which in the shop I loved the smell of. Now I have it home, I'm not too sure on the scent. I'm not too keen on it! I must have got a bit over excited. Then I got a Father Christmas bath ballistic which I have had before and surprisingly turns your bath a festive green colour! However, this one did stain my bath last time I used it so I best be prepared to clean after I use this one! I grabbed two of the Christmas Eve bubble bars which I have never tried before, but have heard good things about so I'm excited to try that. I grabbed a classic which is the Cinders bath ballistic - a must have for me at Christmas time. The two last things I got hold of were the Ponche shower gel which is orange and tequila which smells soooo good and two of the So White bath ballistics.
I heard of the So White bath ballistics on Zoella's channel. This bath bomb is normally one I would walk straight past, but I had a sniff when I was in the store and it was to die for so I just had to grab a couple. 

The best part of this little haul is that I managed to grab all of this for just £15!!! Bargain!

I hope you enjoyed this festive, bargain haul!
