BEAUTY: LUSH MOTHERS DAY 2018



I know Mothers Day has been and gone but I thought i'd share a few of the Mothers Day products that I was kindly sent over, they unfortunately didn't arrive until after Mothers Day but a few of the items are still available on the Lush website but they will be gone very soon.

The first product is Mum in a Spin, OMG i'm super excited to try this. It has a lavender and Ylang Ylang scent so is perfect to help you drift off. It makes the water pink. I love the reusable bubble bars and think this is very similar.

The Antiope Naked Shower Gel is a orange scented product, which refreshed and rejuvenates the skin.

The Honey Bear massage bar has alot of really good reviews over on the lush website. It has a gorgeous caramel/vanilla scent. With cocoa butter and shea butter to leave the skin feeling super soft.

The Purple Loosestrife soap looks beautiful and would make a wonderful gift. It has a floral scent, a trio of Rose, Hibiscus and Lavender to create a lovely parma-violet scent. It's such a pretty soap that I almost don't want to use it.

The Madame President is a bath bomb, it has a grapefruit scent and antiseptic properties. It turns the water a gorgeous purple colour and the stars seperate and fizz too!

Citrus are doing it for themselves!  is a new marbled bubbleroon. It has a citrus scent of grapefruit and lemon oil.

As I metioned above the Mothers Day products won't be around for much longer, so if anything takes your fancy then check them out now! They also have some of the Mothers Day gift sets too so check them out.

REVIEW : SAY HAPPY MOTHERS DAY WITH FREDDIES FLOWERS



MOTHERS DAY 2018 - SUNDAY 11TH MARCH 2018 


Freddie's Flowers is an flower subscription service. It's £22 per box and you can sign up for weekly deliveries. No delivery charges and they take payment on the day of delivery so your not tied into a set number of deliveries. Use the flower calender to organise your deliveries

Freddie's Flowers deliver all over mainland UK and their vans choose routes to keep emissions down, they also make some deliveries by bike.

Why not treat your mom to a flower delivery this Mothers Day, you could pay for a few weeks and she would get a fresh delivery week after week.

The flowers come packed into a box which can be left so you don't have to stay in waiting for your delivery. Mine had actually been left in the side passage all day as I had them delivered to my mum's house and they still looked really good when I got them out of the box.

They arrived in a long cardboard box and the flowers were wrapped in brown paper and tied using string. The flowers were placed really well and there was brown paper at either end to reduce the risk of the flowers getting damaged.

Inside the box was a little booklet that told you some information about the brand and a little information about how to arrange flowers and what to do with your flowers.

I used this information to arrange the flowers and i'm super happy with how they have turned out. They look really unique and unusual, it's not just a bunch of Roses or Lillies. There are some gorgeous Pink and Purple Tulips, purple Iris, Crinkly leaf pittosporum and Birch twigs. This creates a beautiful arrangement of flowers. 

I love how bright the flowers are and they look amazing in my bright blue vase. I'm tempted to cut a few of the Tulips down and pop them in a smaller vase. There's loads of flowers, my vase is bursting with flowers!


I'm really impressed with the flowers, you get loads of flowers for £22! It's such a gorgeous bunch of flowers and honestly i've paid more for alot less flowers and flowers that were boring and bland from a much bigger brand but Freddie's Flowers are so different and such a lovely smaller brand who deserve your custom. It's a great price and I was really happy with how the flowers were packaged. It's a lovely brand and such a great idea. I'd love to recieve some gorgeous fresh flowers every week!

LIFESTYLE: MOTHERS DAY GIFT GUIDE 2018


Mothers Day 2018 is on Sunday 11th March 

Today's post is a Mothers Day Gift Guide to give you a few ideas on some lovely gifts you can get your mom this Mothers Day. I love to treat my mom and Mothers Day is a great time to go and buy your mom something nice to show her how much you appreciate her. I actually bought my mom a bottle of wine and some gorgeous Yellow Lillies a few weeks ago just to say thanks! 

First up are these Crabtree & Evelyn hand creams. I think hand cream is one of those products that I hate to buy but I always use it. I think they make a lovely little gift, the Crabtree & Evelyn ones are so so good and smell amazing. 

Why not buy your mom a nice new Fragrance? I don't think you can go wrong with smellies. My mom loves the bottle of YSL Black Opium that I bought her for Christmas. Here's a couple of my favourites right now, Victor and Rolf BonBon, it smells so good, really sweet. Another scent i'm loving is this Ariana Grande perfume, it's a nice fresh scent for everyday. 

Has your mom got a charm bracelet? My mom has a Thomas Sabo charm bracelet and I love buying her new charms. This is my Pandora bracelet and they have so many gorgeous charms. It's such a nice gift idea and they have a charm for everything. 

I love this Rose Gold photo frame by Addison Ross from Amara.com, I think a photo frame with a lovely thoughtful photo inside is a lovely gift. My mom has recently become a nanny to two beautiful grandchildren so a lovely photo frame that she can pop in her living room and show off her grandbabies is a lovely gift idea. 

How gorgeous is this Ted Baker Candle. It smells lovely and it looks fab. They have other colours and scents so be sure to check them out. I love the pink one and it will look fab in my living room as I have a blush pink theme. My mom would love the Burgundy one. 

I picked this bag up in Accessorize the other day, I went along to a blog event at the Bullring Birmingham store. Again i'm loving this gorgeous Blush Pink colour right now. I already have this bag in Mustard too, it's such a good size and a lovely everyday bag. Accessorize actually have £10 off if you spend £50 so have a look you could even treat yourself and your mum!

I love getting things personalised, I think it's really thoughtful and shows that a lot of thought and effort has gone into the gift. How lovely is this personalised wine glass from giftsonline4u.com, I think most moms love a glass of wine, mine does! So this personalised wine glass will be perfect.  I will get her a nice bottle of rosè to go with her lovely new glass, it's a really good size too which my mom will be pleased about!  The engraving is really nice and clear and the glass came in a box which makes it really easy to wrap. I think it's such a nice touch getting it personalised and if your mom isn't a fan of wine they also stock champagne flutes and other glasses. They also stock a personalised label that you can stick right onto any bottle. giftsonline4u.com have loads of personalised gifts to choose from so head over and check them out. They stock loads of lovely gifts such as frames, jewellery and mugs which can all be personalised. They offer free standard delivery so order now or pay just £5 for next day delivery to guarantee delivery before Sunday. They stock a huge range of gifts for everyone all year round so think of them for your next special occasion.   

I also picked out this Joules Mug from Amara.com again they stock other colours too. I'm loving the pink floral design. It's a great size, I like a big mug. The floral print is really pretty and would make a lovely gift, it comes in a nice box too.


I hope you got some lovely gift ideas from my gift guide, i'm very excited for my first Mothers Day!
I need to pick up a few bits for my mom to go with her wine glass and wine, I was thinking of booking us a spa day so we can have a nice chilled day together. What have you got your mom for Mothering Sunday?

GIFT GUIDE: MOTHERS DAY GIFT IDEAS


Mothers Day 2017 - Sunday 26th March 

With Mothers Day just around the corner I thought today i'd share some Mothers Day gift ideas!

I don't know about you but my mom is pretty amazing, and I always go a little over the top when Mothers Day arrives. Here's some really cool gift ideas that you can get your mom this year. 

How gorgeous are these Ted Baker Rose Gold Earrings *from Amara. I think they are stunning and would make the perfect gift for Mothers Day, They come with a little pouch and a Ted Baker Gift box which makes it look really special and they are only £25 which I think is a great price. This Scarf from Joules * also available at Amara is just gorgeous, it's so so soft and the colours are lovely. It's a really lovely scarf, my mom loves a good scarf and these are perfect for this transitional period between winter and spring where its a bit chilly outside so you want a thin scarf just to keep the cold out. You really can't go wrong with flowers, whether you pick some up from the local supermarket or have them delivered from a florist they can make a wonderful gift. My mom loves Lillies they are her favourite and purple is her favourite colour so these are perfect. 

My mom has recently started using make up brushes and has been quizzing myself and my sister on how we apply our make up so some new make up brushes would be the perfect gift this mothers day. These Body Shop* ones are so lovely. The bristles are so lovely and soft and they are so easy to use. They look great and are really affordable too. I've also included a couple of other brushes below. I really like the Look Good Feel Better Brushes and this blusher brush* looks amazing. The bristles are so soft and fluffy!! I also thought i'd mention this Soeco stippling brush* as I really like the Soeco brushes they look fab, i've recently spotted them in my local Bodycare and they are really good value for money. 

Why not get your mom some new skincare bits. I love Liz Earle and use their skincare everyday and I know my mom would love to add some Liz Earle bits to her routine. This is the Liz Earle Glow Getters collection.* For £29 you get the Hot Cloth Cleanser ( MY FAVE) and a gentle face exfoliator and a deep cleansing mask along with 2 Pure Cotton cloths. It's such a good price and comes in this gorgeous gift box which is designed by Jessica Tibbits.

How cute is this Mothers Day soap from The English Soap Company*, it's a really lovely gift. It smells so so good!! How cute is this gift set from The Pretty Little Treat Company. This is their Pretty Little Treasures Gift set *which contains really cute little products such as an Eye Gel, a Lip Balm, a Hand Cream and bath milk. The gift box is so pretty and the packging on the products has angels on and Clints mom loves Angels so she's going to be so excited to recieve this on Mothers Day. 

If your looking for something a little more on the pricey side you could treat your mom to a bottle of perfume, this Tiziana Terenzi Fragrance * is avaliable at Harvey Nichols and is a woody, spicy oriental scent. It's really strong and has top notes of Bergamot and Red Currant. The bottle and the packaging is gorgeous and so luxurious and would make a lovely addition to any moms dressing table. 

You really can't go wrong with a scented candle and my favourites are the Neom Travel Size candles. I love Tranquility and Happiness, they are my favourite scents. They retail for about £16 and smell amazing! 

How cool is this Scrabble Light from Red Candy*! You use the stickers to spell out different words, they would be so much fun especially to personalise for different occasions. They light up from the mains and the stickers are reusable so you can change them all the time to say different things. I think these would be amazing in a nursery or kids room aswell as in a main room. 

I hope you enjoyed my Gift Guide and I gave you some inspiration for Mothers Day. Even if you can't afford to buy your mom something get her a card and show her that you are thankful for everything she does for you.
