Lush Valentines Day Goodies

Image
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, its time to start thinking about how we're going to spend the day - will you be spending it with your other half, having a night out with friends or just showing yourself some love with a good old pamper? Whatever you decide, there's always time to fit a LUSH bath into your routine and they've released a limited edition Valentine's Day collection especially for the occasion. Much like Christmas or birthdays, Valentine's is just another excuse to treat yourself so this range of bath products couldn't be more perfect. Plus, they'll leave you smelling sweet if you've got a big date night planned! My boyfriend and I have decided we're going to cook a nice three course dinner and get a bottle of our favourite fizz instead of going out and although we won't be leaving our flat, I still intend to get glammed up and make a bit of an effort so I'm looking forward to having a pamper in the bath ...

I think depriving yourself will only lead to an unhealthy relationship with food and therefore more binging on the bad stuff.  I've been trying out a few new healthy recipes recently and after putting the above pictures on Instagram and getting asked lots of questions, I thought I'd pop a little post together with a quick overview of how I make each of them. I've been pretty obsessed with turkey mince at the moment as its really low in calories and super high in protein. It isn't the most ex...

The new Beauty Box in town // Beautycon Box

I have to be honest when I say, I'm not a big fan of beauty boxes. When I started blogging, I signed  up for Glossybox and although I thought it was a great idea to have a surprise box delivered each month, I was often disappointed with the content. I do not disrespect Glossybox because I liked receiving the boxes, I just give my honest opinion when I say that I do not think they were good value for money and for this reason, I have canceled my subscription. That being said, I have never reviewed other subscriptions to the beauty set because I did not want to risk signing up and being disappointed again. However, when I was contacted by Beautecobox a while ago and asked if I wanted to try their July box *, I couldn't say no. After reading the concept behind their box and seeing the products to win, it was an offer too good to be missed. Unlike other beauty boxes, Beauteco offers its subscribers a "menu" each month which gives them the possibility o...
