Inspired by quotes

Hello everyone! 

So with summer drawing to a close and the busyness of preparing for sixth form recently I have been thinking about what i would like to achieve this coming school year-not just academically but also in myself too. So that's when I turned to Pinterest for inspiration and its endless ideas! 

So here are some quotes that I've found and will mentally take around with me in my mind throughout sixth form...

This quote is really important to me as it will encourage me to seize opportunities that I come across everyday. Whether it be a big opportunity or a something small.

Sometimes if I've had a bad day I tend to dwell on it for quite sometime.  However now I want to see everyday as a new day full of new opportunities!

I love this quote and the photograph too! I want it to remind to always be myself, however every now and then launching myself out of my comfort zone.  Hopefully then my confidence will build! 

This again is also about coming out of my comfort zone every now and then which will then open a new page full of new opportunities.

So I hope you have enjoyed this post and have been inspired by these quotes as much as I have.  They just gave me that little lift I needed! 

Something new... I have now decided that once a week at the end of one of my posts i will add a quote that has inspired me or made me smile!

Lush-Avobath & Butterball


Hello everyone!

So today I have a lush review for you! 
Butterball-
When I bought this bath bomb I think I always new I would prefer it over Avobath just because it has a really subtle smell.  The smell reminds me of vanilla fudge.  However when I used it I loved it even more because of  how moisturising it is right from the of start.  However one disappointment with this bath bomb was that after, my skin felt slightly clammy and sticky.
However overall I really enjoyed this bath bomb and would like to purchase it again. :)
 
Avobath-
 
 
Now out of the two of them this was probably my least favourite. In the lush booklet it says that it contains 'lemongrass' which is distinctive from the smell, 'bergamot', 'Avocado' and 'olive oil'. At first I really enjoyed the smell and was excited to use it.  However when I did use it I found that it was way to strong smelling for me.  It has a very intense fruity and citrusy smell which meant it wasn't long until I had had enough of it.  The description of it in the Lush booklet states that it will 'nourish the skin', however I wasn't fully convinced. 
 
So overall I wasn't too impressed with this bath bomb.  So I will probably not be purchasing it again. :( 
 
I  hope you enjoyed this review! 
Have you tried out these bath bombs on any other Lush products?  If so let me know what you think of them in the comment section below. :)

Africa



Hello everyone! 

I have been really enjoying doing all my blog posts recently however cannot do many at the moment because I am away on my happy holidays! It has been so great to be away for a while just to chill after my stressful GCSE's (I'm so glad it's all over!). 

So I thought it would be nice to do a blog post just to tell you about my holiday to Africa in pictures!












I hope you enjoyed this slightly different post and I also hope the pictures have persuaded you to go to Africa. Don't worry as I have been adding to my long list of many beauty related ideas for my blog posts that I hope you will enjoy reading in the future. 

Have you ever been to Africa? 

See you soon! Xxx
