What I Got For Christmas 2014

3 January 2015
I know I'm a few days late with this one but I told myself I wasn't going to post my very own What I Got For Christmas post but then reading through everyone elses I changed my mind. It's a post that I love reading, there's no other reason but I'm nosey so I hope you all having a snoop at mine as I love all of my presents, a lot! I also want to post a disclaimer that I'm not bragging at all with these, I've a small family and group of friends and half of these I wasn't expecting to be given so I'm extremely grateful and still in shock if I'm honest. 


It wouldn't be Christmas without a massive tub of chocolate, its just tradition and this year I was kindly given Celebrations, pity it isn't as full as this anymore. I hold my hands up, chocolate is a weakness. Also one of my friends bought me this Festive Friends Gift Box* from Lush for Secret Santa which smells incredible and I'm so grateful. It's filled to the brim with Christmas bath bombs and honestly I don't even want to open it - it just looks that pretty....


I've been moaning for the past two months that I haven't a clue what time it is work and sneakily checking my phone when I can wasn't cutting it so I was given a watch which is an absolute life saver. Its so dinky and the face is really simplistic so I love it. I just need a brown one and I'm set. It feels amazing not having to rely on technology again!


I rarely ask for jewellery because frankly I'm quite scared of losing the usually expensive pieces but this year I thought I'd chance my arm and ask for a Pandora ring* as my big present I guess and Santa not only bought me one but two so I was absolutely flabbergasted on Christmas morning - if only you could have seen my face! Both of them are incredibly beautiful and I love them to pieces. 


These were a few presents from my friends, I'm always keeping on about how amazing Soap & Glory smells but I hadn't tried anything from the Sugar Crush range yet so my friend took it upon herself to buy me some, verdict - it smells amazing too. Also I like buying Topshop Christmas socks and makeup bits and pieces for my friends each year so they decided to repay the favour and bought me lip products which look so dark but are actually brown and berry - bang on trend and fluffy socks, which you can never have enough of! 


Every year I get a few DVD's* because I rarely get round to buying myself them through the year, Boots always seems to call first so I was given a few, TFIOS was a must and then the second Spiderman which if you've seen the ending is equally as heartbreaking and of course anything with Zac Efron is superb so that too. Also some lovely smelling Ted Baker* bits which came in the cutest box ever. 


Another big surprise was my TV*, I had one when I was younger but it was took off me so to speak to replace one downstairs as I didn't use it all that much but nowadays I need one so they bought me a lovely white one to match all of my furniture and the quality is amazing. I've already tested out several dvd's, you can see what I did over Christmas lol! 


Lastly chocolate, chocolate and yet more chocolate. Please don't judge, I have a serious problem and yes I did get several selection boxes at the age of twenty oops but in my defence they're still amazing as they were when I was six/seven, except now I receive hot chocolate and cute mugs as well. 

I also received a few CD's such as One Direction, Taylor Swift and The Script because they're all incredible and a few other small things such as hand creams and small beauty sets but thats most of it. As I said I'm incredibly happy and grateful to everyone and I'm not bragging in the slightest but I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and Santa brought you everything that you asked for, of if you're too old for it, your parents. I can't wait to start blogging regularly again and if you have any similar posts to this please leave me a link in the comments, I love reading them!

Thanks for reading, Jenny xo

Lush: Bloomin' Beautiful

18 August 2014
Although I'm an avid Lush lover, I don't actually own that much from the brand and more surprisingly I've never featured anything Lush-ish on my blog, crazy I know! This Lush Blooming Beautiful box was something I was bought for my birthday & honestly it had been forgotten about until I had a right old drawer sort out the other day when I found it & knew it had to be used! The packaging is beyond cute - these little boxes from Lush are perfect for gifts since they're so nicely decorated, just all round girly and they smell amazing.

Lush Pop In The Bath Bubble Bar Review and Image

So I may have went a tad overboard with photos but how could I not? They look amazing! The Pop in the Bath Bubble Bar got bashed around a little in the box despite being filled to the brim with polystyrene (talk about alliteration - did I say enough words beginning with B?) One of its petals has broken off a little bit but its not really noticeable and still usable so I'm happy! Both of these bath bombs smell incredible and I actually kept the box open overnight by accident - I just couldn't fit everything back in again and was pleasantly surprised to wake up to a very nice smelling bedroom - a mix of citrus and vanilla.   

The second bath bomb, the Think Pink Bath Ballistic is my favourite of the two and I just had to take a close up of the flowers on the top - they're so pretty and its a little sad to think they're just going to disintegrate in the bath, it almost makes me want to keep them on show in my room, almost. Aside from looking pretty and smelling great I can't wait to actually use both of these, whenever I've used Lush bath bombs in the past they've left my skin feeling refreshed and ever so soft so I'm hoping these will be the same. I really need to start venturing into my local Lush store from now on as I always forget to so feel free to leave me recommendations to check out or just let me know what your favourite bits and pieces are from Lush?
