3...Relaxing Things.

After the holiday madness I think we could all do with a bit of relaxation, I know I could. So today I am sharing 3 things that relax me.

A Lush bath has to be at the top of the list. Its the easiest thing to do, just add a bath bomb or crumble a bubble bar under the running tap, moisturise and chill. 
Another thing that relaxes me is reading. I cant really get into novels or any kind of deep book so I like to flick through a 'coffee table' kinda book. I got The Ultimate Natural Beauty Bible for Christmas and I love it. It is a super easy read for a few minutes or so. Finally, listening to music with headphones in. Any kind of music relaxes me I either put the radio on or, as of recent, Justin Biebers new album...I'm a bloody belieber now!

What do you do to relax?

London: A Little Haul.

This is part two of my little London series and I am going to be sharing the bits I bought whilst I was down there. 

I actually got a decent amount of things. I didn't think I'd end up coming home with a lot of stuff but it wasn't as expensive as I thought...which was kind of dangerous haha! 

At Camden I ended up getting a silver-ish skull, which I fell in love with. I got it from a little shop full of skulls and mythical creatures. The man who owned it said his friend hand makes everything. Knowing it was handmade made me love it even more.

On Friday we visited a lot of the charity shops which were ram packed with old records. I ended up leaving with a Lionel Richie vinyl because Lionel is life...and it was only £1, barg! I also nipped into the Lush, of course. I picked up a creamy candy bubble bar and a blackberry bath bomb. Finally I ordered my new granny glasses and picked them up later that evening. They are not everyone's cup of tea but I love em (plus they fit my massive head).

In London we stopped off at Liberty where I spotted this illustration book. I instantly fell in love with it. The woman who served us in there was soooo lovely too.

And finally, Brick Lane. I had to go to Rokit! I ended up getting a coat, I was pretty surprised actually because a lot of things in vintage shops are like a 90's oversized look and I don't really suit that type of fit (I like baggy clothes not oversized, there is a difference!). But the coat I dug out is a gem! 

The last purchase from my trip was a bunch of chocolate. How can you leave a trip away without picking up some chocolate?! Dark Sugars on Brick Lane is the liveliest, modern chocolate shop I have ever seen! Old school Justin Timberlake was blasting out of the doors, you could literally hear it from down the street (I wasn't complaining though). The staff were so friendly, dancing around, taking pictures with people all whilst shoving chocolates into everyone's mouth who entered the door. I must have consumed about 10 chocolates whilst I was in there. We ended up spending £12 on different chocolates, it was deffo worth it though!

So that's everything I got. I have probably forgotten about a lot of the things that I bought but these were definitely the best of the bunch.

A Small Lush Haul.

When I say this is a small Lush haul I mean its a small lush haul... I don't think I've ever walked away from Lush with only 3 products before but the store in Manchester is just manic on a Saturday afternoon. I went in with an idea of what I wanted and I was out as quick as possible!

The first product I went for was the Tea Tree Toner Tab. I had seen these lurking about in the Lush stores for ageeees and always wanted to pick one up to see what they'd be like. You just drop the small tab into some boiling water and let the steam and vapours cleanse your pours. I have been having troubled skin again recently so I am looking forward to giving this a go.

The next two things I picked up are bath bombs. The first one I went for was Space Girl, it is my all time favourite. I love the sweetie smell it has, the colour it turns the water and basically everything else about it! I then reached for the Fizzbanger which I am sure I've had before but I am not too certain. Anyway, I really like the smell of this, to me its smells really fruity and lemony.

So, that's all I got on this trip but I plan to go again very soon and get A LOT more.
