Spa Day Routine


French Lavender 3-Wick Candle from Bath and Body Works



 Epson Salts from Life Brand (SDM)
Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate from Clarins 


Purete Thermal Fresh Cleansing Gel by Vichy
Mia 2 Keith Herring Collection by Clarisonic
Wonder Mud Face Mask by Biotherm

Having a little spa Sunday is such a wonderful pleasure. Slipping into a hot bath with your favourite book or TV show (currently watching Sherlock) and just relaxing. Is anything better? No. Not really.

Lavender has always been one of my favourite scents so the French Lavender candle scent from Bath and Body Works is my ultimate bathtub candle. It basically sits next to the bath 24/7, because it's my bath scent, such a relaxing and calming scent (or to some, it smells like their grandmothers).

I always sprinkle plain Epson salts in my bath while the water is running, its supposed to help with muscle relaxation, and to be honest, I think it works but I've never not used it. Otherwise, I've recently been loving the Tonic Bath & Shower Concentrate from Clarins, it smells like eucalyptus, which is super fresh and earthy. I've always been more of an earthy and/or citrus scent lover so this bath oil/tonic was something I fell in love with right away.

I, like many, also love to put on a face mask during my bath. I wash my face with my everyday cleanser first (Vichy) and put it on my Clarisonic. I got this in December and I've noticed a difference in my skin, it's a lot more even and it takes makeup off amazingly better then my cleanser and hands. 

After attending a Biotherm conference, we were rewarded with a jar of the new Wonder Mud face mask. I remember trying it on the back of my hand at the conference and loving it, so when I knew I got to take it home, I was ecstatic! It exfoliates as you massage it onto your face, so you get rid of any dead skin. When you take it off, it leaves your skin with this beautiful natural glow and your skin is amazingly soft. I think it's wonderful that they use natural algae extracts because I've always preferred the use of natural ingredients over artificial (as I'm sure many of us do).

Once my bath is run and prepared, and my face is ready, I hope into the bath and just unwind. We all need some time to just relax and unwind and this is my current favourite way to do it. If you try any of these products, please tell me what you think of them!

Review: The Sex Bomb Lush Bath Bomb

I'm sorry I have lacked in post lately. I have been super busy with school and life! But I am really going to work hard to post more!





This is an amazing bath bomb that I know a lot of bloggers enjoy. But. Its not my favourite. The smell is wonderful and girly. It captures that tangy rose smell perfectly and really softened my skin and made me feel so wonderful! 

I think the biggest issues for me with this bath bomb is I'm not a huge fan of rose smell. I prefer lemon and citrus sents. So for me, not in my top 3 but I would use it again.

Review: Dragon's Egg Lush Bath Bomb

The Dragon's Egg Lush Bath Bomb is described as a "Citrus sherbet-scented fizzy firecracker". I got this as an early Christmas present from my grandmother and it smelled amazing so I had a bath this morning. This Dragon's Egg Bath bomb is a citrus scented bath bomb that just explodes in your bath.  It starts out as a pink bath bomb with little colours popping out of it. Once you put it in it fizzes and bubbles and as the pink melts away it started to turn orange!




By the time it is almost melted your whole bath should be a bright orange and once the bomb gets right to the middle its starts to bubble into a gold shades and pretty much sparkles shatter out of it. Once the bath bomb was done fizzing, I hopped in and shortly after I heard this popping. It scared me a little at first, Is my tub breaking?! But it was the little colourful dots from the bath bomb popping and crackling!



The one thing I always notice about bath bombs is the water feels quite a bit thicker, or more dense I could say. But your skin feels a millions times softer and the aroma the bath bombs make you want to never leave the tub. The Dragons Egg was no exception. It was a wonderful bath.

One thing I do hazard though is once the tub is drained you will notice your tub covered in orange and gold sparkles. Just rinse of the tub and your be fine, and yes, it can go down the drain. Lush is a vegan company and everything is organic and fresh products, so its safe for yours drains. Also I was absolutely covered in sparkles and still am about 12 hours later. If you don't like the idea of gold sparkles all over your body, this is not for you. Fortunately for me, I currently in love with sparkles and shimmer - it's very Christmassy - so I love the turn out. Please by skin is so soft. I loved the Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb from Lush.
