Not Another Lush Haul?!

Okay, so... another Lush haul. Whoops. I just can't seem to keep away lately. Everything looks so cute and I want it all. I popped in to my local Lush recently and told myself I would allow myself to buy ONE thing. Just. One. I don't need any more bath products I told myself, I have storage full to the brim of the stuff. Alas, I managed to pop more than one item in my basket, naughty Zoe.

Just look at this little cutie, I couldn't leave him there could I?! The Baa Bar Bubble Bar is perfect for just before bedtime, it is a lavender scented one and creates a really soothing atmosphere, and makes quite a good few bubbles too. I also bought the Mum Bath Bomb in pink, but silly me forgot to photograph it and I used it pretty much as soon as I got home from shopping that day. It is a really nice one and super affordable too. The Mum Bath Bomb created a lovely pink bath and smelt a mixture of lemon and roses.

Just. Look. At. Her. Elsie the Giraffe (You're Havin' a Bath) Reusable Bubble Bar is probably the most adorable product I have ever seen in Lush. This creates a fair amount of bubbles and smells of lemons and limes; a zesty scent lovers dream. The lovely sales assistant that was helping me that day told me she had got ten uses out of hers. I didn't really believe her, I've never managed to get more than four uses out of any Lush bubble bar, even the wands. BUT she was right and I was so, so wrong to dismiss it because I've had ELEVEN - yes, eleven uses out of mine so far and still have a tiny bit left. Well worth the money in my opinion. Note to self: always listen to Lush employees!

My main reason for going into Lush that day was because I wanted to have a sniff of the Yummy Mummy shower gel. I decided it wasn't the scent for me and got distracted by the Plum Rain Shower Gel as it smells beautiful and I kind-of want to shower in this forever. Okay that is a bit of an exaggeration but take my word for it, it smells lovely. The scent is a strong fresh plum, sadly the scent doesn't seem to linger on the skin for very long afterwards, but I still really like it and will more than likely buy it again.
I am the ultimate impulse buyer and I always manage to pick something up when I'm stood by the till: this is one of those purchases. I have tonnes of lip balms and certainly do not need to buy any more for at least a Year, but I am a bit of a magpie when it comes to zesty scented products so this Key Lime Pie Lip Balm came home with me. As lip balms go, I think this is a pretty expensive one. I've only used it a couple of times so far but it seems to keep my lips moisturised and smells of lime so in my eyes it is amazing.

Have you picked anything up from Lush recently? Is there anything you really want to try?

Beautiful Blooms from Blossoming Gifts

Is there really anything more lovely than having a beautiful bunch of flowers delivered to your door?

Why not treat yourself or the ones you love to a stunning bouquet from Blossoming Gifts. They cater for all budgets and have a huge selection of flowers and gifts to choose from. With Mothers Day just around the corner, Blossoming Gifts really are worth checking out.
The stunning bouquet I picked is called Rose & Iris Ready to arrange. I adore roses and they are my favourite flower. I just love to see such gorgeous bright yellow roses alongside the pretty blue iris. I love the contrast of these colours together, I think it works really well and the flowers are just beautiful.

I was so impressed with the delivery, they arrived packaged really well in a box and I was looking forward to being a little creative and arranging them in a vase. I did cut them down ever so slightly to fit well into the vase after taking these photographs. I am definitely no florist but I think I have done an okay job at showcasing these pretty petals.
I'm certainly no flower expert; yet I did mainly pick this gift as I wanted to be able to arrange the flowers myself and I just loved the vibrant colours. We have them in a shabby chic looking vase on our kitchen windowsill and they make me smile every time I walk past.
I received the flowers over 2 and a half ago now; and they are still going strong - the blue iris only recently begun opening up. I think they will probably last another Week which is pretty impressive.

Breakfast in Bed For Mothers Day!

Hi everyone! I hope all of your lovely Mums out there enjoyed your special day Yesterday, and that everyone spoiled their Mum with lots of love too! 

I thought I would share with you this Breakfast in Bed I put together with the help of Roberts Bakery this Mothers Day. I did boiled egg and soldiers with delicious Roberts Bakery Soft and Fluffy white bread, as well as a cup of tea and some refreshing orange juice to wash it down.

I think a special breakfast in bed treat is perfect for Mothers Day!

Here is a handy guide to make the perfect breakfast in bed!

Special Mothers Day Cards

As Mothers Day will be here this Weekend coming, I thought I would share with you a beautiful card perfect for the occasion. You may have seen me feature Made With Love Designs in my Valentines Gift and Date Ideas, and so I am back again with a lovely card from their Mothers Day collection.

This card is the Flutter Pink Butterfly Mothers Day Card, costing £4.50. I'm sure you will agree with me that it is a beautiful card, made even more special as it is handmade. I am not the crafty type so being able to buy a handmade card like this is great. I love the design and the 3D butterfly, I know this will go down a treat on Mothers Day - that too with it being personalised; which is very thoughtful and makes the card so very personal to the recipient. I love a personalised touch, and think it is really thoughtful that you are able to choose the colour of the ribbon used on your card.

You can check out the Made With Love Designs entire range of Mothers Day cards on their website here.

Last Minute Gift Ideas for Mothers Day

Yardley London Daisy Gift Set Molton Brown Seamoss Stress Relieving Hydrosoak Personalised Mug Red Herring Giraffe Print Scarf

Mothering Sunday is just around the corner (15th March!) which means that some of us that like to celebrate Mothers Day are planning special things for our Mums and Grandmas. I know it isn't all about the gifts; its about showing your appreciation not just on Mothers Day but every day, but I do think it is nice to give a card, treat her for dinner, do all her chores around the house, or spoil her with something she would like. Here is a little list of some last minute gift ideas if you are still looking for a present.I have played it safe with a scarf; a mug, a perfume and a special bath soak for a good pamper.
