January was such a weird month - I'm yet to settle back into the routine of blogging so I really want to say thank you for sticking around through my inconsistent posting! This month I decided to embrace blue toned photos rather than fighting the dreary winter lighting, but it may be time I invested in Photoshop. Let me know if you use it and if you have any tips ;)
For February I'm hoping to finally go completely vegan - I'm very nearly there except for the odd dairy product. The online community has been so supportive and helpful and seeing so many people participate in Veganuary was really inspiring. I also have a bunch of new vegan products to review and I'm planning on trying out some more new recipes too.
The Favourites
Lush Bubblegum Lip Scrub
This little pink pot is a sugary, edible scrub that exfoliates your lips to make them super smooth. It's a sweet treat that's perfect for the colder months, plus it really tastes like bubblegum so I've been using it at every opportunity.
Hurraw Chai Spice Lip Balm
Mmm. I love the smell of this lip balm - just like hot chai tea. The flavour isn't the strongest but it's an all natural formula of organic, cold pressed oils which leave my lips lovely and soft after a good scrub.
Lush Happy Hippy Shower Gel
I've been really addicted to grapefruits the last few weeks, so I'm loving this grapefruity shower gel to wake up with in the mornings. Lush shower gels always feel so thick and foam up a treat from only a little amount.
GOSH Eyebrow Pencil in Grey Brown
For ages I was after a cooler eyebrow colour to better match my brows, and I found just what I wanted with this eyebrow pencil. It's a few shades lighter than my hair colour which is ideal for a natural, everyday look. It's a soft consistency so the pencil does wear down quickly, and it's not as long lasting as I'd like, but I'm happy to carry it around for touch ups because the shade is just perfect for me.
Nakd bars
These natural snack bars have been on offer at Holland & Barrett and I just can't get enough of them. They're a great vegan snack to carry in my bag and as you can get them in pretty much every Tesco they're my favourite treat for the cinema too. Let me know if you have a favourite flavour :)
