LUSH products

My goodness I'm so so sorry I'm a terrible person. I may have led you into thinking that I've changed my ways and will be posting more often but I did warn you that it would be harder once school started but that's no excuse I know.

So last Sunday I went to LUSH and spent ages in there looking and smelling every product I could. That was my first real good look at LUSH as I had no time limit and wanted to make sure I was getting the products I wanted the most. I ended up getting two ballistic bath bombs and two 100gms soaps. I've already used one of the soaps but the rest are still beautifully wrapped and you won't get to see what's inside until I use them. But you can always look them up on the LUSH website.

So here is my LUSH load.

So I already used the Porridge Soap and it smells scrumptious. This is what 100g grams looks like. Not very much for $6.50 I know but the soap is creamy and silky. It's a bit rough applying it though - because of the bits of porridge and I definitely wouldn't recommend it if you're shaving but in terms of smell, it's one of the only ones I really liked and I would definitely recommend it. Also if you're wondering whether the porridge bits block your drain, I asked the girl in the shop the same question and she said that, from experience that had never happened to her, and it hasn't happened to be so far so that's good. The porridge bits are quite small anyway so you should be fine.

The Miranda Soap is also one of the only three soap smells (that they had in that shop) that I like and it smells really nice and gentle but still strong enough to have an effect. Obviously I haven't used it yet as it's still in it's lovely Lush Fighting Against Animal Testing paper. I think this would be good as a shower soap.

I was pleasantly surprised at the smell of this Honey Bee Bath Ballistic. The smell is simple, light and soothing.

Smells amazing, looks amazing. Its the Phoenix Rising Bath Ballistic

The 3rd favourite smelling soap that I didn't buy was the Godmother Soap which I was also pleasantly surprised to have liked but it is an extremely strong smelling soap so if you do get it (or if I do) I would definitely use it as a hand soap.
Although I recommend these products, I am definitely not saying you should order them online without smelling them first. Only buy online if you've used/smelled the product first because I found that a lot of the things that I thought would smell nice didn't appeal to me and a lot of the products that seemed uninteresting were actually some of the ones I bought and liked. Besides everyone likes different smells and what I might like, you may not. I am simple giving you descriptions of what the product is like and what I like.

That's all for now. I really want to try to post more but we'll just see how it goes. I don't really read books and I'm terrible at deciding whether I like movies or not and why so there probably won't be many reviews although I will try. I am seeing Saving Mr Banks tomorrow with my grandparents before it ends so I hope that it will be good. I'm no good at writing stories either; short or long.

Anyways, ta ta for now,

Lush obsession and my week cont.d

Hi guys, yesterday I told you that I was starting to get obsessed with Lush. Well, I don't think I'm obsessed but I definitely do love it right now. Last night I used the Snowcake Soap and it made me smell so nice....mmmm.....that sounds a bit weird.... It's hard to describe the kind of scent it was. It wasn't very distinctive; like it isn't a flavour. It just....smelled......clean.....
It was so hard trying to use the soap without rubbing off all the golden sparkles but I ended rubbing off a lot of sparkle anyway :(
Anyway, I'm probably not going to use my bath bombs for a veeerryyy long time as they are so precious (and not cheap) and I don't want to waste them even though I really want to try them.

My box of LUSH goodies :D (minus the soap)

My hands before I had even taken the soap out of the packet - already covered in gold!

I also went shopping at Typo yesterday and I bought..... Airline Bag Black, 2 rolls of Christmas wrap (which I don't think look Christmassy at all so I'm going to use them for birthdays), a Tote Bag with a cute forest print (I saw the fox on it and had to get it), a Red Transforma Tablet (which is now on my iPad), a little Tiny Book which is actually a storage compartment (I thought it would be good to put a little present in e.g. jewellery), and a 2014 Peanuts Calendar :) Yay!
So as you can see I also have a bit of an obsession with Typo. I seriously have little self control when shopping; I just, love, everything!
Plus there was a sale.

Oh oh oh! And I found this little website (well, you've probably all found it before me as it was the top hit on Google) which print your Instagram pictures and it's sooooooooooo cute!!! My favourites are the Stickers and the Mini Book. And everything is so mini!
If you want to print your Instagram pictures in a book but not a mini book, Blurb is a good website to go to. They also print your pictures in different layouts (e.g. cookbook, photo journal) but I think the Instagram book is cute and easy to do. You can also sell your book online! They do all the work for you. You just set the amount of profit you want to make and they sell your book.

Well I think that's all for now,

Thank you for supporting this blog,

Jody

Gosh I'm sooo sorry

Guys I'm so sorry, I'm really bad at blogging and I'm really lazy and forgetful so I haven't posted in a long time. I also still haven't posted my favourite photo app reviews yet but I will get onto that tomorrow. Well let's see, first of all, Merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a lovely Christmas surrounded by family and/or friends and eating lots and lots and lots and lots of delicious food! Did you know I have never had an advent calendar before? Can you believe that? I have always wanted one but I always forget to get them and I don't know where or when to find them because it's not exactly a Christmas tradition for me and nobody buys them for me. But I told my grandma this and she said she'd buy me an advent calendar next year. Oh and if it's not too expensive (which it most probably will be) I really want a body shop advent calendar next year of there is one because they look AWESOME! So that's something I want to do next year. Also, if you watch Youtubers then you may know that some people attempted Vlogmas this year. I thought I could do something like that next year. Let me know in the comments if you have suggestions, I know it's a really long way away but I am really in the Christmas spirit (which mainly involves eating as much as you want and anything you want without anyone judging you) and I can't wait until next year's Christmas. It would be nice to just skip 2014 and do Christmas all over again but unfortunately it's not going to happen. Also, I have just discovered LUSH (from youtubers; namely Zoella) and I am seeing a dangerous obsession forming. Luckily the prices deter me a little bit but when there is a sale (like there is now) I am there and aimed with cash $$$ (well, not much of it now). So if you don't know what LUSH is, it is in the beauty/health products category. Basically they sell, soap, shower gels, shampoos, perfumes, bath melts and bath bombs and more! Now I had never heard of a bath bomb or a bath melt until I started watching Zoella but they look so cool and I can't wait to try mine which by the way..... I bought my own little Christmas gift from LUSH today.

And it was on sale - which is why I bought it. All the Christmas gifts were 50% off (as no one is buying Christmas gifts anymore) so this box was only $10 and came with a Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic, a Luxury Lush Pud Bath Ballistic and a Snowcake Soap. They also sold these products individually and the Christmas creations were also on sale but I thought it was cute and easier to get myself a little Lush gift box.

Now a warning to those planning on going into Lush, it is a very smelly shop and those who are sensitive to smells do not go in. I'm not a fan of strong smells, it's inherited. Although I am most definitely not as bad as my dad who absolutely cannot stand strong smells. But some of their products just smell and sound so delicious. You can go on their website to get an idea of the kind of products they have. So if you have no idea what a bath bomb is, well, I don't really know what it is but you put one in your bath (or half or a quarter depending on whether you want to use the whole lot in one go or save it) while it's running and it will dissolve and fizz and bubble and turn your bath into a swirling pool of colours (or so I imagine) and all the oils and scents that are in there will come floating out and make you and your bathroom smell fragrant with whatever type of bath bomb it is. Some of them - depending on what is inside - are meant to wake you up in the morning whereas some are meant to calm you down after a hard day. They are also a kind of soap, that cleans and moisturizes your body....mmmmmmm...... I mean.....that's what I think.... check the online store for more details - LUSH

So I had a lovely shower with my new Snowcake soap. I then made my bed and changed the sheets, updated my status on Facebook, edited some photos, uploaded those photos onto Facebook and now I've been writing this post for you. I am sooo tired now so I will a part 2 of this post tomorrow. Keep updated by email if you like (on the sidebar). And stay tuned for a "My Fav Photo Apps" review and another post about my Christmas week and the pressies I got :)

Until then,

Merry Christmas
