Lush treats

Hai everyone!

I get very excited when Lush release new products- bit geeky I know but I dont care. The new Mothers day goodies have been out for a few weeks now and I am especially loving all the bath bits. Lots of classic floral smells mixed alongside sweetie strawberry notes perfect for not just the mummies of the world.
Lush have released 6 new bath products, shower gel and a body conditioner. I have tried 4 of the new products so far.

So we have Yummy Mummy shower gel and Body Conditioner, a sweet and fruity fragrance with both. The shower gel is a very pretty lavender colour with lustre, it contains geranium oil which is very toning, refreshing brazilian orange oil and skin softening carrageenan extract. The body conditioner has similar ingredients but infused with fresh strawberry juice and ultra moisturising murumura butter.

Both of the leave your skin super silky soft all day.

One of my favourite new bath bombs is Rose Bombshell another amazing skin softener, perfect for these winter days. Full of soya milk and Rose absolute from Turkey it leaves your skin toned and soft.

 This gorgeous bomb also contains rose petals from a fairly traded womens co operative in Kenya that Lush works with, these are the less attractive ones that would usually go to waste but they are just are good as the pretty ones.

Mother Superior is the mimosa, Sicilian lemon scented bubble bar which smells amazing- very similar to the fantastic Rub Rub Rub shower scrub. This bubble bar is an angry faced nun who is desperate to make everyones bath as bubbley as possible. A new favourite with me.

Go check out the other lovely bath products and treat your mother's and yourself!

All SeWn uP

Hai everyone, so it seems I went missing for afew months- 3 to be precise, sorry about that. I started a new job at H&M and Christmas happened and I felt I had no time for my life let alone writing.. but I'm back.
It also turns out I'm growing a tiny human inside of myself; or a tiny kitten :-)

 Unfortunately this meant most of December I felt like being sick all the time, thankfully this has stopped.. It's all new and exciting stuff but very confusing at the same time, who knew such small people needed so much stuff!
Anyway because of this Im trying to get back into being more creative as I'm thinking once I finish work I will have time to make stuff(wishful thinking maybe) but I really want to get back to doing arts based fun things. I've started knitting again, a blanket for the small one and this last week been looking at sewing.
I've made a few items in the past- tote bags, a very lopsided cushion, and a  dress, this is something I want to concentrate on -  attempting to make clothes so re teaching myself the joy of seams, darts, zips and patterns.
Watching the Great British Sewing Bee is very inspiring :-)

Sewing Bee greatness

So this week I went and bought a 1960s inspired dress pattern as I love that era. From the shape of the dresses to the prints and colours.
I've been practising putting in zips and different seams and also trying to work out the art of darts.
So far I have done a lapped zip, going to try a concealed one next- anyone with fabric/sewing knowledge please pass on tips/help- its all very welcome.

Todays sewing effort.

Well must dash but I will post again in the next few days, I think its going to be a beauty/bath related post.
Hope u come and follow what im up to- hopefully I will begin pattern cutting in the next 2 weeks!
