Lush Bath and Easter Dinner!

So I've had this bath bomb since Christmas and actually haven't chance to use it because I've been at uni. But now it's the Easter holidays so earlier I had my first bath in about a year, and used this amazing Golden Wonder Bath Bomb from Lush that my sister got me for Christmas! :) It was nice and relaxing after cooking dinner for my family earlier :)



It looked too good to not take a million pictures. I never buy bath bombs, especially not special ones like this, and needed picture memories of this moment!



Hope everyone has had a lovely Easter Sunday!

50 Facts About Me



  1. I hardly ever cry at films, but I cried at about four different points in My Sisters Keeper. Its the saddest film I've ever seen. I also regret not reading the book first even though I own it.

Snickers Ice Cream Recipe

Ingredients:
4 Snickers Bars
150ml Whipping Cream
260g Condensed Milk

Firstly you need to chop up the Snickers bars into little pieces so they're easier to melt


And then melt the Snickers in the microwave, making sure to check it every 20/30 seconds so it doesn't burn! 

Add the condensed milk to the melted Snickers

Whisk the whipping cream, (use an electric whisk if you have one! we don't so we had to break our arms using a normal one haha!)

Add the condensed milk and melted Snickers to the whipped cream



and mix!

Pour it into a container, and then freeze for 5 hours!



Et voila! This is probably the best ice cream i've ever tasted, and it was HOMEMADE! It's all gone now and I want to make more!

My sister has been going crazy over this lip balm, I wouldn't get it for a long time because I just don't think any of them actually work or cure dry lips, but I eventually caved in, and it is really good! Whilst I'm not convinced it has got rid of my dry lips completely, it has definitely helped, and its the most AMAZING smell ever, I could literally sniff it all day.

Burts Bees Rejuvenating Acai Berry Lip Balm - Boots - £3.69

Me and Katie went home for the weekend recently, was very happy to be re-united with my beautiful dogs! :)

Also brought this DVD whilst I was at home, i've seen it before and loved it, even if it did make me feel a little claustraphobic! And £1.50 is such a bargain!

My other little baby!

Me having a cheeky nap on the mega hot train on the way home.

Went for a yummy curry with the parents whilst we were at home!


This is what I spent my clubcard points on.. magazines and sweeties, iIthink I have good priorities...?

Is it sad that I took a picture of this? Its limited edition chocolate orange and I was so excited to try it! I'm not sure if it beats their other Muller Corners but it was still nice!

Me and my friend brought red noses the other day and were going to wear them this Friday on a night out, i wonder how many people will try and steal them?

Exciting shopping trip of a poor student! I've had a really bad cold this week so been stocking up on cold & flu tablets, lockets, and these yummy Beechams blackcurrant drinks, I might just drink them even when i'm not ill! And I was also in desperate need of pillow cases, my pillows have fake tan blotches all over them and look quite disgusting it's actually embarrassing..

This was actually meant to be a Green Thai Curry.. although it just looks like a plate of rice and vegetables, it was still AMAZING :)

Cheeky treats

This is what i got my mum for Mothers Day, she loves crafting and making cards so I got her a few little things, I hope she likes them!

Got a new paint by numbers, I've already done one and its on my wall, I want to do loads and frame them all in my next student house next year!

I brought this with my boots points, I am in LOVE with the colour!

We made Oreo Cupcakes!

And Apple Crumble! YUMMY.

I've also been on a few nights out recently so thought I would try and include some pictures where you can see what I'm wearing and my make-up, but unfortunately the pictures aren't too great, I should take some of myself before I go out but I always forget!


This was for my friends Texas themed birthday, hence the denim shorts, shirt, and sombrero hat!


This was my friends 21st birthday and I think my dress is quite an old one from New Look :)

This was the first time I've ever been on a night out without fake tan on, and I was actually pretty happy with how my makeup looked!
