Letters To My Dogs

Image
To My Beautiful Ruby Doo,    I really hope you know how loved you are. To me, love is not even a strong enough word to describe how I feel about you. You have had a really awful past before I rescued you - you have been beaten and neglected, but yet you are the most affectionate, loving and obedient dog, without a single 'bad' bone in your body. I cannot even begin to understand how anyone could hurt you. You have had many homes, but you are in your forever home now and will be with me for the rest of your life, no matter what. I remember the first day I met you and I wasn't sure about you. You were a rescue, we didn't know what your breaking point was, we didn't know whether we could trust you. I remember the point where we bonded. We were on a dog walk and I got lost and stuck on a very steep slope. Mia disappeared and left me, you turned and came back for me. You looked at me and tried to show me a much less steep area I could get down and you wouldn't l...

Lush Fresh Handmade Christmas Bath Products 2018

Image
If you are a fan of bubble baths like I am, this blog post might interest you. I first tried Lush bath products just less than a year ago - I had previously thought they were overpriced, I didn't like the smell of the shop and thought they were a bit of a hippy brand (no offence intended!) but I had no idea what I was missing out on. From the first time I tried a Lush bath bomb, I was converted and now I am obsessed. Two of my absolute favourite bath products from Lush, are the 'Brightside Bubble Bar' and the 'Comforter Bubble Bar'. From these bubble bars, I get around 4 baths worth of gorgeous scent and bubbles, they don't dry out my skin and they not only fill the bathroom with their scent, but also leave your skin smelling amazing afterwards. I will also add, if you are worried about the bright colours or glitter staining your bath, I was worried about this too before I tried them but I have never found they have left any staining in my bath and the glitte...

Testing 3 Make Up Revolution Foundations

Image
Make Up Revolution have massively stepped up their game in the past few years - back when they first started, I would have never bothered even trying any of their foundations because affordable foundations usually have a rubbish shade range and the pale shades are usually orange. However, when they released each of these foundations, the shade ranges have been amazing! Also, in case you didn't know, all 3 of these foundations are cruelty free, so there's an extra bonus. So I have now owned and tried these three foundations for a while now and thought I would share my thoughts on them. For reference, I have oily / combination skin that is acne prone (but currently quite clear) and I also have mild acne scarring and rosacea, so I have quite a bit of redness to be covered up. Revolution Fast Base Foundation Stick - F1 - £5.00 This has been a very popular foundation since it was released - I have mixed feelings on this foundation. It is very quick and easy to apply, blends...
