Three from Lush Christmas 2021.

It's the most wonderful time of the year! Christmas lights are up, it's appropriate to have hot chocolate multiple times a day, and somehow glitters mysteriously start popping up all over the place. And let's not forget bath season is in full swing and a trip to Lush is basically mandatory. I recently picked up three products that really caught my attention among the many gorgeous goodies of the Holiday collection and thought I'd share my picks in case you're still undecided about what to get.

A Charlotte Tilbury wishlist.

Although I'm still in full-on Autumn mood for now, with less than 40 sleeps 'till Christmas *screams internally* a part of my brain that was completely focused on pumpkins, fluffy scarves and golden leaves, is now compiling mental wishlists for Santa and Black Friday.
I guess it makes sense to start with Charlotte Tilbury products as they're always on my mind and my cart is forever overflowing with new shades of lipstick, gorgeous skincare and everything rose gold. Who else feels like a pre-Holiday self treat?

A Paula's Choice duo I love.

The temps have dropped and it's finally starting to feel like Autumn! The edges of the leaves are turning golden outside my window and the air is getting colder and colder everyday.
Now is the perfect time to upgrade my routine, much like a change of wardrobe to suit the seasonal changes, and add more nourishing and hydrating products to my rotation. With the radiators turning on inside and the crispy breeze outdoors, my dry skin needs some extra love or else it'll start to look parched and flakey. Enter this Paula's Choice duo that made my hearth flutter from the very first application.

Lush Halloween 2021: Two spooky picks.

It's that time of the year again, when my favourite products hit the shelves at Lush and the smell of everything cosy and spicy fills my home. This year's Halloween collection is super colourful and full of variety, with a mix of old favourites and fun new additions peaking from the counter. After a lot of thinking and sniffing around, I decided to grab two pieces that perfectly represent the two sides of this cheerful festivity.

Loving lately: late Summer edition.

My favourite part of summer is here at last - the mid-September days that smell like the beginning of Fall, when Pumpkin Spice Lattes come back at Starbucks and the Halloween collection appears on the shelves at Lush. Now that the scorching heat is a distant memory it's easier to look back and appreciate the things that I enjoyed during this hellish season. Have I mentioned that I dislike summer with a passion yet?

A look into my beauty wishlist.

It might be the cold and the smell of rain in the air that make me want to bundle up, stay cosy inside and daydream about all the beauty bits I'd like to buy, but I think today is the perfect day to share my current wishlist.

3 things I loved in January.

Even if January usually gets a bad rap for being the longest, slowest, most depressing month of the year, I'm not going to complain as it's been a few good weeks for me. I stayed cosy and took it slow, but also started working on a few goals for the new year. It's all about getting the balance right, I think, and finding nice things along the way that keep you happy and inspired. Here are three things that brightened my days.

Be My Lush Valentine.

The countdown to Valentine's Day has begun! Whether you plan to celebrate V-Day, Galentine's Day or you're just going to stuff your mouth with marked down chocolate and binge watch all the soppy movies on Netflix, we can all agree that it's the perfect excuse to treat yourself. And speaking of treats and self-gratification, of course my mind goes straight to Lush.
Today I'm sharing my favourite picks from the Lush Valentine's Day 2021 collection, which is a stunning mix of old glories and new lovely bits that will get you excited for lover's day in no time.

A 2020 beauty recap.

I'm just as keen to leave 2020 behind and never look back as anyone else, but before I can turn the page and focus on the good things that New Year will hopefully bring, I'm sure a good ol' beauty recap won't hurt. In retrospect, 2020 has been an odd one for obvious reasons, mostly focused on self care and skin products with some makeup bits here and there for those 'feel better' looks meant to boost the mood more than anything. Of all the beauty bits I've tried for the first time and those that were already well loved, these are the ones that stood out the most.

What I've been watching lately.

Between two lockdowns, the Holidays and the weather lately, I feel like I'm turning into a proper couch-potato and it seems I may have reached the deepest regions of Netflix where the weird movies are. The silver lining is, however, that I've accumulated enough experience to start a new career as TV critic in the new year.
Today I'm sharing some recent favourite watches in case you need some inspiration.
