It's been a while, you know that song, Eat Sleep, Rave Repeat. My life has been going something like this, Vibe, Work, Sleeeeeep, Repeat. With gym and circuits chucked in the middle. But yeah, I thought I'd kick it off with a few things I am lovin.
If you guys didn't now, I am now working with the company of my dreams. Lush.3 weeks ago, Lush opened the world's largest Lush store. 3 floors of Lush heaven, a mecca if you will, residing in London's very own Oxford Street. And they didn't stop there ... 200 new, YES. NEW. Products. A tiny bit of wee just came out. I am hoping to venture up there in a couple of weeks time, but my lovely managers took lists of goodies we couldn't wait to try and bought them back for us.I had a lovely selection of bath bombs/melts, their pretty straight forward. Smelling lovely of course. But the golden wonders I received, Cup o Coffee face mask, Hair custard and Damaged hot oil treatment. All of which I am in love with.
Cup o Coffee, is like dunking your head in a bag of coffee beans, refreshing and energising. Not to mention what it does for your skin. Talc, Kaolin, Agave Nectar and some ground coffee for exfoliation. I love the smell of this, and I hate coffee. Best used in the morning, if your feeling sleepy and need a perk up. Or when your hungover. Yeah, when your hungover.
Hair Custard. THE. SMELL. Argggghhmaaaaagaaaaawd. The smell. Argan oil, coconut oil, fair trade cocoa butter, egg whites, vanilla. And THE SMELL. This is pre blow dry treatment as well as a styling cream. It makes your hair feel soft as a babys bot, but gives it volume. I want to say this is the egg whites ? But who cares, soft, yummy, scrummy, I WANT TO EAT IT.
Finally the cherry on the top. Damaged hot oil treatment. Some cocoa butter or something in this, maybe vanilla. (I am too lazy to go find the packaging, it's my day off alrite) But it made my hair so soft it may as well have been waterproof. TRY THIS. TRY IT ALL.
One thing I can't wait to get my hands on is the makeup.As much as I love all the things Lush. I do use other things, be it a fair few but there are things. Aloe Vera Gel. My spots life saver. I love Grease Lightening, but sometimes this little thing helps the little blighters go. Finally Baths and massage bars. I am working out a lot more these days, I blame the two weddings I am going to, one I am being a bridesmaid. Exciting, but I need to get this booty in shape. So most evenings I will spend in the bath. My favourite, Big Blue and Sunnyside, topped with a rubbing down of hottie or wiccy massage bar. The water looks like mermaids water.
Mind Blown 💨😮🔫
Pair this, with my iPad and Vampire Diaries. Perfect evening.
Vampire Diaries probably deserves a mention. Bit late on that wagon, but yeah. Vampires, werewolves, witches, blood. It's like an action packed less sparkly Twilight, but with better actors. Ooooh. Sorry KS and RP. You are better in other films. My spiraliser, I've been wanting one of these bad boys for ages. I got one. It's amazing. Courgettii with pesto, plum tomatoes, a sprinkle of parmesan cheese. Bon appetite. Chicken, satay sauce, with carrotii and veggies. Yum.
As well as working on my body I am trying to get my mind in check. I am a firey passionate person by nature, but want to put in more positive outlets. AKA I am one mad B****. I already crochet. Now I Yoga and Meditate. I am still working this into my routine but the little I have done, I am loving. Youtuber Yoga with Adrienne, she is my yogi master. Check her out. And am test running some meditation apps. Headspace, Digi Pill and calm. I will let you know how those work out. And that probably won't be to the end of this year at the rate i'm blogging ...
Finally, I am loving my mum. I embarrass her so much on my Facebook, but she truly is an inspiration. My inspiration. And i've always said that, even before she got "The C word." (Do watch BBC's adaptation of that by the way !) Mum has now had all her treatments, chemo, mastectomy and radiotherapy. It's now recovery. Or rather back to work full time and kicking my ass, even now, at sprinting. Yeah, she's even joined the gym again. A month after radio finished.
