Hey guys! A few weeks ago, I was lucky enough to be invited down to the Lush Christmas Event, where I got to see the Christmas collection, watch demos of the new products, and even made a Butterbear bath bomb!

We all know how products in general tend to be so over-packaged, and around Christmas there is even more waste.

Hey everyone, today I'm sharing my Booktube-A-Thon 2017 wrap up. I managed to complete all seven challenges, with a day to spare! And I know this is late, but is anyone really surprised?
The first challenge was to read a book with a person on the cover and for that I chose Sailor Moon Vol.4 featuring Sailor Jupiter on the cover.

Over the last two months, I've really started to get back into reading. I used to be a big reader but I've been in a massive reading slump over the last 2-3 years, reading maybe 4-ish books across then. This year though, since April, I've already read over 30 books, and I really attribute this to getting into watching Booktube videos. So this year I've decided to take part in Booktube-A-ThonAnonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148555719803853967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253495453291407303.post-62790084608677331982017-06-14T09:00:00.000+01:002017-06-14T09:00:08.896+01:00Disney Day - DIY Cushions!

Hi everyone, welcome to the first of two Disney Day posts this month! This week I've got my April & May haul, as well as some Disney books I've read and movies I've seen.
First up is this adorable BB-8 salt and pepper shaker!

Hi all! I wanted to start a new series here on the blog, maybe once a month or every second month, called Disney Day! I'm thinking hauls, wishlists and maybe something on cool Disney stuff I find in the shops. Anyway, today I have a little haul. These are some things that I've gotten recently enough (Feb to March) and make me so happy!

Calling all Pokemon fans! Today I have reviews of some of the products from TonyMoly's Pokemon collaboration! I think this collection has been out since maybe October.

Hey guys! As promised, today I have part 2 of my 2016 favourites to share. This part is all the non-beauty related things I loved in 2016. I've got TV shows, movies, apps, and more to share!
Beginning with movies, the first film of the year that I loved was Disney's Zootopia/Zootropolis.

Happy New Year! I hope you all had a great 2016 and are ready for 2017. Looking back at the past year, I can definitely say it was a really great year. Sure there were some tough times (I'm looking at you, FE1s) but I got through them and it was really worth it in the end (passed, woot woot!). Overall, the good things of the last year really outweighed the not-so-great: I had a great last Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14148555719803853967noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5253495453291407303.post-50572547663239258042016-12-28T09:00:00.000+00:002017-01-05T16:03:09.507+00:00America Haul 2016!
Hi everyone! Today I have a little American beauty haul to share with you guys. I was in Chicago and Wisconsin last month and picked up a few things! Also, I know I've been MIA since March, but bear with me, it's been a busy couple of months with college, a wedding and post-grad exams (which I still have a few left to do in March!).

Have you ever gone and bought a product simply for the packaging, without caring in the slightest whether or not it would be any good or not? Hoping that it would, of course, but being ok if it weren't. I have. And I'm not ashamed, not even a little.

Today I have my February favourites to share with you guys! A few of these were also favourites in January, but I didn't get a chance to write about them and they definitely deserved mentions so I've included them here.

I saw this mascara being used by one of my favourite YouTubers for quite a while before this was released in stores back in January.

A few months ago I did a Korean beauty haul and one of the things I picked up was the Too Cool for School Egg Mousse Pack. This is a mousse mask made using egg whites and claims to make your face "as smooth as the egg surface".
I used this mask religiously 2-3 times a week for 3 weeks to see how well it lived up to its claim.
