My Favourites whilst being ill.

So as you may or may not know, I haven't been very well recently and ultimately had to have surgery.
I figured I could get some blog posts written up whilst I'm laid up recovering as I'm not able to do much else.
It's very frustrating not being able to do anything for yourself and having to listen to your body a lot more with regards to moving around so it's taking a while to do anything!

Leading up to my surgery I had a LOT of baths as they really helped ease the pain I was experiencing.
I love a good bath and after living somewhere that didn't have one, it's been a god send here that we have such a nice bath. I have some faves since moving in but as I'm not allowed to have a bath currently due to my dressings, it's actually been nice to use some of the products I wouldn't have been using due to my love of baths.

One of my favourite ever shower ranges is from Original Source, and I'm sure I'm not alone. I think they smell amazing and leave my body feeling so refreshed. My faves are the lemon and the mint ones out of the ones I've tried although I need to try some more I feel as I love these so much. Are there any you guys recommend?  I am currently using both and have the tiniest amounts left not wanting to completely finish them. Not sure if this has something to do with a need to have closure... I watched an episode of Big Bang yesterday and Amy was trying to rid Sheldon of his closure issue... let's just say it made me think!
If you are the only person on Earth not to have tried them, you really need to. Most supermarkets have these on special offer every now and again. Although a good dupe is the Boots own range, they are pretty good too and are something silly like 70p!

I've also, of course, been loving my Lush stash. I've been sparingly using my unicorn horn bubble bar along with northern lights bath bomb for a super colourful bubbly bath. As with everything lush, it makes your bath look and smell awesome. As soon as I'm allowed a bath again (stupid dressings) I'm getting my Comforter out as it's my absolute favourite and I need that scent in my life!

Beauty wise, I haven't really been using much as I haven't worn make up for a couple of weeks now as being in bed doesn't call for much of a made up face...Although I'm sure those around me would be grateful for a no-make-up-i-woke-up-like-this make up look... But I neither have the time or energy to do that. *chuckle*
I have however, been trying to make sure I moisturise to make sure my skin is still getting some sort of looking after and have been mixing it up between my Simple moisturiser and my Younique one. They are both lovely and make my skin feel gorge. They are both fab because you need the smallest amount and they have lasted me for ages.

I've also been using my Honey lip scrub from Lush as my lips have been rather dry, so I use this and then chuck on some Carmex to help moisturise them too. I'm all about the face moisturisation it seems! I'm usually shocking at remembering, so my face has definitely felt the benefit and is thanking me for it.

The last skin care item I've been using loads is this Simple Kind to Eyes Revitalising roll on. I may or may not have stolen this from my boyfriend... what he doesn't know won't hurt him. The metal ball on this coupled with the moisturiser feels so lovely under your eyes first thing in the morning and really helps me to wake up. Plus, lying around is surprisingly tiring, so I have been using it during the day too.

Lastly, I have been loving my current book of choice. A colleague lent it to me after I'd mentioned loving the film and wanting to read the book. It's taken me a while to pick it up, but while I've been off work I gravitated towards it and am struggling to put it down. I would say regardless if you've seen the film or not, the book is a must read!

If anyone has any ideas of what else I can be doing or any reading  recommendations whilst I'm holed up in bed, I welcome the suggestions with open arms!

Much love

Lush Loving 💜

Hi guys, so I said I was going to do a Lush review of a few products I've recently purchased. I got a gift card for my Birthday this year and wanted to try a few new things with it so this is what I got.

Facemasks:

I picked up two of the fresh facemasks, Cupcake and Catastrophic as I like what they said they could do to help my skin, plus they smelt really good.
After using them both, (hideous pictures below to amuse you!)

 I have to say that I definately prefer the Cupcake one. I just feel that I could see the benefits more with it, plus it didnt make my skin feel dry.

This is definately a re-purchase!

However, my mum preferred Catasrophe so used it up for me!

Lips:

I went to Australia in January for my friends wedding and was going to miss her hen do so I thought I would buy her a few Lush products to soften the blow as I was Maid of Honour... I popped in quickly as I had 5 minutes before leaving for the airport.
I've always loved Lush lip balms as they smell amazing but had never tried the lip scrubs. I had a very helpful sales lady and she showed me the bubblegum flavour and the popcorn flavour. I decided on the pretty pink bubblegum one as thought my friend would prefer this.
For anyone who hasnt tried the scrubs, you basically rub it on and then lick it off!
I was in Oz for 3 weeks, and between us, we nearly used it up! Fair to say I brought one for myself as soon as I could! I am still loving it now, although am using it less regularly than I did in Oz otherwise I would be constantly be buying it. I think it really does the job as well as tasting amazing and it is definatley one to try!

Bath Stuff:

I have been buying a lot of bath bombs and bubble bars recently but the product that have really stuck in my mind has been the Comforter. 

I really enjoyed using this as it wasnt just one use, I just kept breaking bits off to use as and when, and I loved this because I hate using things up straight away with just one bath especially if I like them!

What are your favourite Lush products at the moment?

Much Love
