Monday Fashion Sketches #10

The design on the left was an experiment with coloured pens. The right hand design is a casual and modern outfit for young adults.

The overalls kind of failed because I couldn't really see the lines and I'm not sure if the colours are right but I the intended affect was for it to be cute and colourful. I think the one on the right was meant to be more sophisticated.

Yeah, the one on the right is definitely not a favourite of mine although I do like the sunglasses. The one on the left is kind of a girly playsuit.

The one on the left is a modern, casual, summer outfit whereas the on the right is kind of retro

Stop Wildlife Crime

Wildlife crime is now the most urgent threat to three of the world's most best-loved species - elephants, rhinos and tigers.
You can help by supporting rangers who work tirelessly to protect endangered species like tigers, elephants and rhinos, which are targeted by poachers for the illegal wildlife trade. Backing rangers ensures they are properly equipped, trained and compensated. Rangers serve as forest guards, eco guards and field enforcement officers. However they often earn very little and they may go without receiving their salary or seeing their family for some months. Rangers are often at the crossfire of wildlife crime and often have to face dangerous gangs of armed poachers. Every four days, a wildlife ranger is killed in the line of duty. Please help these rangers serving on the front line to protect these beautiful animals.
Please back a ranger, sign the pledge and spread the word so that you and everyone else can make informed decisions before buying animal or plant products. Or simply send a card to show them how much you appreciate what they do!

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,

Jody

Monday Fashion Sketches #8

There are only 3 for you today as there is an uneven number

You may notice that the costume on the left is heavily based on the Italian Carnevale character Arlecchino but I like it as kind of a fun carnival/circus type dress.
