Current Obsessions.

I don't know if its just me or if everyone gets like this but if i like something i tend to obsess over it for months on end. I notice patterns in things i buy, for example i will love a certain colour and the next 10 purchases i make will be in that colour. Different tops, jumpers, eyeshadows, nail varnish, it could be anything but it will all be in the same colour. It can even be a certain item like last month it was shoe's. I brought 3 pairs of shoes last month, THREE! Two of them being open toes pairs. I hate to admit it but they were pretty much the same?! 

I never put myself down as someone with an addictive personality but i'm starting to realise that saying that, isn't a reliable statement. Any hoo, now that I'm coming to terms with the fact that maybe i might just have that addictive personality trait, i might as well embrace it, right? 

So here's what I'm obsessing over this month.

Metallic's

Metallic is everywhere at the moment. Copper especially. I'm currently saving up for a mortgage with my boyfriend Kori so I'm always imagining our interior design. I'm constantly drooling over Pintrest and home ware sections of shops, dreaming about how i will decorate when we finally get our own place. One thing i know for sure is that whatever colour themes we go for, each room will have a metal. I love the way different textures compliment each other and i think adding metal into the mix creates more dimension to a room. We have a 'bottom drawer', which is a draw we fill with things we have bought in preparation for our future house (well it started off a a draw, its now a few boxes) I have recently been buying a lot of Metallic things, like photo fames and fruit bowls, which i have been trying to save and put by for our new house but they are so pretty that i'm using them now - oops. 

Aldo Mules - I WANT!

Mules

OH MY GOD. i frikkin' love these shoes. Last year they made waves in the fashion world and i desperately wanted a pair but Kori, my Mum, Sisters and any other family member i told would squeal in disbelief that i liked them. Everyone i knew and asked seemed to hate them, which unfortunately steered me clear from purchasing a pair (peer pressure sucks). But this is the second time around i keep seeing them in shops and swooning over them and I'm not letting peer pressure get the better of me and i will be getting some! Watch this space. 

Lip Liners

Everyone and their mum has either tried or at least read about 'Kylie Jenner's Lips'. Since trying out the matte, flesh tone look myself it has rekindled my love for lip liners. No, I'm not over drawing my lips but i am loving how much longer my lipstick lasts during the day with the added extra of a lip liner. I don't know why i ever stopped purchasing lip liners but i'm glad this Kylie trend has become a thing because i've fallen back in love with how sharp and defined liners make my lips. I'm also a matte lips kinda gal,and its so hard to find a matte lipstick that doesn't crack. I find liners work perfectly for that effect as they have the perfect consistency that doesn't end up looking too 'cakey'. My favourite right now is Rimmel Eastend Snob.

Sports Bra's

My fitness game is on point right now. I feel the healthiest i've been in a loooong time. I'm working out 4/5 times a week and can actually say i'm loving it. So as you can imagine by working out pretty much every week day, i need a good amount of sports wear to get me through the week. With the amount of sweating I'm doing theres no chance of wearing the same item twice so i've had the luxury of going shopping and actually being able to truly say "but i neeeeed all of this". My favourite place for sports wear a the moment is H&M the quality is amazing and its half the price of bigger brands like Nike and Adidas. 

I don't know why i added a photo.
As if you didn't know what broccoli looks like, hahaha! 

Broccoli 

Okay, this is a weird one and no I'm not pregnant. But i cant stop eating broccoli! I've even started eating it raw and nibbling on it before i cook it! (is that even safe?) I can't get enough, putting it in stir fry, pasta, soup, every time we have a veg dish you can bet ya bottom dollar theres broccoli in it! I can't explain it, all i know is, right know i'm loving broccoli!

Do you get obsessions over weird things or is it genially just me?

Lush Haul | Easter 2015

I am without a doubt a Lush addict. I love nothing more than a good bubble bath on a Sunday evening, relaxing with a book or watching Netflix, and of course no bath is complete without a concoction of bath bombs, bubble bars and beautiful smelling shower gels! So as you can imagine I'm always stocked up with Lush beauties and get very, VERY excited when they release their seasonal products! 

 

So last weekend i splurged out and purchased a whole load of the new Easter editions and here's what i thought of them. 

Hoppity Poppity

Not only is this bunny super cute but has popping candy in it too!? And for only £2.50 i think its  This bath bomb has a very herbal smell too it as it's made with lime oil, lavender and violet leaf. I must admit I'm not the biggest fan of herbal scents so it's not my favourite smelling bomb but the added extra of popping candy and the cuteness factor makes it a winner for me and is defiantly going to be in my re purchase list.

Bunch of Carrots

The reusable bubble bars that Lush do are my favourite product as i can use them again and again. The Christmas Magic Wand Star will always be my favourite with out a doubt but these carrots come quite close! Made with Sicilian Lemon Oil, Bergamot Oil, Buchu Oil, these carrots smell yummy and fruity but the oils make sure the fruitiness isn't too empowering.The blend of both oils and lemon create an amazingly gorgeous scent! (so much better than a real life carrot). 

Golden Egg

I LOVE GLITTER! Some people really moan about the glitter products Lush bring out but i love them! So this was the first item i ran over to and popped into a bag before i had even smelt it, and my god doesn;t it smell amazing too! Made from Sweet Wild Orange Oil, Colombian Cocoa Butter, Bergamot Oil, Olive Oil this bath melt smells like sweet like caramel and toffee. With the blend of cocoa butter and olive oil you are sure to be leaving the bath with your skin not only smelling but feeling like soft caramel too. This bath bomb makes me feel like a glittery fairy princess that sprinkles scents of melted caramel behind me and i love it! 10 out of 10!

Fluffy Egg

That famous Snow fairy scent is back! This time better as its in the shape of an egg, and a fluffy one at that. (except its not fluffy, slightly confused?) Obviously this is one of my favourites Lush scents but along with the famous smell comes the famous bright pink colouring and nothings better than bathing in pink water! A firm favourite of mine! 

Great Eggspectation - Pink

This is the most priciest bomb out of the bunch but rightly so as it's supposed to be a 3 in 1 product. But to be perfectly honest i wouldn't say you get 3 uses out of it. I'm not sure if thats because i'm greedy but i found that half the egg wasn't enough. It didn't put on a good enough show for me so i ended up sticking the other half in the bath too. The surprise inside was a small chick which was super cute but again was so small that i felt it wasn't big enough to use on it's own so ended up using it with another bomb. On the plus side the scent was beautiful. Vanilla is one of my favourite smells and when combined with Grapefruit Oil and Lemon Oil it makes it uplifting and leaves me feeling bushy tailed. Perfect from a morning bath.

There's just something about dropping a Lush product into a bath that makes it so much more enjoyable. The smell, the fizz and all the prettiness it brings to bath time is why i am and always will be deeply in love with Lush! With that being said i think its time to run myself a warm bath, create a Lush concoction and zone out for the next hour, or so.
