Light a candle and chill...

This is exactly what I've been doing lately. Turning on my Macbook, lighting a candle, cuddling up and browsing! Browsing for what exactly? Everything and anything in preparation for moving out!! I've been looking at bed linen, plates, bowls, cutlery, storage boxes etc. Where am I moving? To CARDIFF in TWO WEEKS into university halls. So as you have already guessed, I got into university and I chose to go to Cardiff to study Journalism, Media and Cultural Studies! 
By the captials... I'm guessing you can tell I'm EXCITED!

So this really isn't much of review post of a new product or a OOTD, but a simple post showing you my favourite Yankee Candles that I have been burning for the past few weeks!


Fluffy Towels - This is a gorgeous fresh scent that smells exactly like clean washing on the line!


Here I have Mango Peach Salsa, Vanilla Lime, Sandalwood Vanilla and Country Lemonade!
As you can see I love sweet and fresh scents, that brighten up my cosy room. These scents are perfect for these summer months but I really need to start getting some warmer ones ready for autumn and winter at university!


This is Winter Wonderland, I had this last christmas and I love it. I love the china setting that it came with!



Also here I have Island Spa and Mandarin Cranberry, again two very sweet but fresh scents in my collection!! Each of these individual candles get burnt in my glass jar in the first picture which I got for £3. 

Sorry this is such a short post, but I am soo busy preparing for university! It is so strange having my pay  
at the end of the week and usually spending it on new Zara bags or jumpers from Topshop. Now I'm spending it on cushions, plates and tea towels? Seriously!! 

I'm really enjoying picking up things for my room at university and I am planning on doing a university room tour for my first video on a new project I am planning. So keep tuned for that!

Thanks for reading and have a lovely day! Good luck to all that are preparing for university and congratulations on your A level results!

Bath Time with Mj

So as you can see it's BATH TIME! I sure do loveeeee my baths. I don't have time for many. God that sounds dirty. I have showers daily I promise, but I try to make time for a luxury bath at least twice a week! So I can relax and use one of my many treats from Lush.

   I must also note that I did not go out and buy all of these together! This is a small collection I've built up in June. 

So here is one of the fairly new bath bombs in Lush called 'Sex Bomb' priced at £3.20, the bomb is huge. The bath bomb is full of lovely ingredients such as Jasmine, Clary Sage, Ylang Ylang and Soya Milk. 



Next is the 'Dorothy' Bubble Bar, decorated with a pretty rainbow on top. It leaves the bath a pretty blue colour and smells divine. It's a really fun treat at just £2.99, also allowing many uses as you crumble a small section into running water. 


Here is the 'Rose Queen'. Now I don't usually like the smell of roses, but this bath bomb isn't too strong or overpowering. It is packed with natural ingredients such as Rose Absolute, Cistus Oil, Tiger Lily Petals, Amaranth flowers, Apple Blossom and Larkspur Petals.


Now this is my favourite bath bomb!! It's the 'Butter Ball' priced at only £2.45 each. Now this bomb as Cocoa butter and Ylang Ylang oil leaving your skin silky smooth and smelling beautifully! But it's yummy vanilla fragrance that sells it for me!! 


This is the 'Creamy Candy' Bubble bar which is priced at £2.50 and has multiple uses! You crumble a small section of this and hold it under running water, it turns the water pink and gives off a similar smell to the 'Rock Star Soap' another favourite that I have previously posted about. The Bath bomb is packed with Almond Oil, Vanilla Absolute, Cocoa Butter and Cream of Tartar.


Here is the next bath bomb called 'Think Pink' priced at £2.50. I love the three flowers on top, really pretty colours! When I put this into the bath, it turned the bath pink and smelt gorgeous but it also contained small pink hearts that floated in the bath! They were soo cute and such a sweet touch!


This is 'Space Girl' priced at £2.10. The bath bomb is covered in pink and silver glitter, as you can see in the picture. This floats around the bath making it soo pretty! Inside this bath bomb there is space dust, also known as popping candy, which I must say gave me a fright as I entered my bath! It also contains Grapefruit Oil, Bergamot Oil and Almond Oil, making it extra yummy!


Last but not least is the 'You've been Mangoed' luxury bath melt. Now this item was priced at £3.10 but again it can be divided to provide you with three luxury mangoed baths! It contains Cocoa Butter, Almond Oil, Lemongrass Oil, Avocado Butter, Mango Butter, Lemon Oil and Lime Oil. Sooo many Oil's, that as you can guess leave your skin nourished and feeling silky smooth! 


I absolutely love popping into Lush and seeing their new products! Have you tried any of these bath products from Lush?
