Beautiful Bubbles!

Beautiful Bubbles is a company that makes hand made Bath & Body products, run by the lovely Claire. A few weeks ago we had a little swap of products and i am thrilled with the gorgeous goodies she sent me.

I was so excited when my box arrived that i ripped it open immediately. I always feel like a kid at xmas when new products arrive.

Excuse the rubbish photo but as i said i just couldn't wait and had to open my box straight away. I could smell the products inside as i opened up the box and was greeted with a lovely big mix of Grapefruit and sugarcane bath bomb, Scrub & Room spray. Two handmade cold process soap slices and this amazingly cute snowman soap.

 

I love the pretty soap slices they both smell great and look beautiful. I have them ear marked for my downstairs bathroom so when people come to the house they can wash there hands with a real bar of handmade soap.

The snowman soap is just adorable. As soon as my 4 year old saw it he tried to whisk it away so Ive promised to share it with him lol. Priced at £4.50 Frosty the snowman would make a brilliant gift or stocking filler that's hand made and really unique. It comes wrapped and tied with ribbon which finishes it off perfectly.

 

The first thing that hit me when i opened the packaging was the beautiful fragrance. Its described as a luscious fruity wood fragrance with top notes of bergamot and rose. Sweet rich Blackberries, dry leaves, with an amber cinnamon blend and a hint of peppermint. Its a beautiful fresh light clean smell that is really xmassy.

Pretty and glistening it reminds me of a snowy day crisp, fresh and cool.

Now i have been using the snowman soap for a week and a half and it is fabulous it lathers really well and leaves skin beautiful and soft. Pop over to Beautiful Bubbles and have a look for yourself at all her gorgeous handmade goodies here xxx

OOTN Lady In Red

Last night i went on a much needed girls night out with my gorgeous girls. Every now and then we get together and go out for a night, no children, no men just a good old girlie chat and the odd Vodka (Cough Cough) So i thought id show you a few pics although i forgot to take them as i was getting ready so excuse the rubbish shots.

The dress is from misguided and i wore it with gold heels and a gold clutch. I had a fringe cut in a few weeks ago and I'm wearing my Halo hair piece which i love. I don't feel dressed up on a night out without it in.

The only jewelry i wore was this ear cuff. Ive been looking for a nice ear cuff for a while and i picked this up at New Look for just £3.99. Oh and i wore my wedding ring of course too :)

Red lippy from Estee Lauder in Watermelon. Its a gorgeous creamy texture and it really lasts well. I do have a soft spot for Estee Lauder lipsticks and i love the fact that this one has a bit of a gold coating which makes it feel very luxurious.

I will be spending today chilling out with my boys and having a lazy day. Back to the gym tomorrow.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend xx

Back to the gym!

 Well after 5 years of gym dodging i decided to bite the bullet and sign myself up to a gym membership. The last 6 months or so my weight has been creeping back up and my clothes have been getting too tight. 

After a short induction i did an hrs workout so come tomorrow i imagine i will be seriously aching but i know it will be worth it once i get into my stride. Wish me luck xxx

Halloween Collection at Marshmallow blends

I know its a bit early for Halloween posts but this last week i have been making new goodies with a Halloween twist.

I love Halloween, mainly because my boys enjoy it so much and we always go to a party of some sort or go trick or treating with the kids. I must admit i had my boys in mind when i made most of these products and they have gone down a storm in our house.

 Glitter Critter Bath Dust £3

Fragranced in a gorgeous Blood Orange scent this bath dust fizzes up when sprinkled into the bath water and turns it a pinky red shade with a touch of black glitter. Also hidden in there are a few critters so beware.

(Not suitable for children under 36months due to small plastic parts)

Halloween Soap (Fragranced in Blood Orange) £3

 These cute pumpkin soaps smell so delicious and fresh. SLS free they are bound to be popular with adults as well as kids.

Candy Shop Mixed Melts (Soy wax) £3.99

I had to add some candy themed products for Halloween and these mixed bags of melts will make the house smell just like a sweet shop. Perfect to set the mood for trick or treaters. 

Marshmallow, candyfloss and toffee apple. The only problem is deciding which sugary treat to burn first.

Lime Slime Bath Bomb £2.75

Inspired by the slime in ghost busters. This magical bath bomb turns the water bright green colour and is fragranced in an uplifting zingy lemon & lime fragrance. Oh and did i mention it has a hidden bug in the middle :)

Pumpkin Cream Soap £3.99

Last but not least is my Pumpkin Cream Soap. Made with coconut milk for added creaminess and silk for a silky luxury feel. Fragranced with a warming blend of pumpkin, cream and a hint of spice. These will be available very soon as they are curing right now.
