Post Ireland and UK depression.

Hello My Lovelies,

I do apologise for that lack of posting on my behalf over the last three months, well no quite a lack of posts, 0 post to be exact.. (sorry) The only person I can blame for that would be myself. I am a shocker for starting things and never finishing them, and I really need to work harder at learning to finish challenges that I start.

Over the last few days I have been thinking about my trip to the UK and Ireland which I took almost a year ago with 2 good friends. We spent 3 weeks traveling through England, Scotland and Ireland on a Contiki Tour with what can only be described as the greatest group of people you could ever possibly meet, I would consider almost all of them Family now. On that trip I made a bunch of friends that I will have for life, from all over the world and I'm soooo so thankful that I got to meet them and spend the time I did with them.

And due to it being St Patrick's Day yesterday, I had a massive feeling of post Ireland depression, wishing I was back over there in one of the greatest countries in the world with some of the greatest people on this earth, not only my contiki family but also just the general Irish population and people. The Irish are some of the greatest people I have ever met, they are probably the closest people to Australians you can get in terms of their sense of humour and their drinking culture. I just love everything about the Irish, they always seem so happy, carefree, welcoming, hospitable and not to mention their fantastic accents, I could listen to them speak all day. I have always had a love for the Irish, I also love the fact that my Dad's side of the family originated from Ireland many many years ago. 

I don't just have love for Ireland, but also for London and the rest of the UK as well. I just think London is one of the greatest cities on this earth, you can just go for a walk for a couple of hours and see so much amazing and incredible things. I felt safe walking around the city at night, a city that I had only been in not even 2 days. I would get on a plane right now and be back there in an instant if I could. I would seriously drop my life here in Australia this second if someone offered me a ticket and a job in London or anywhere in Ireland.

I am planing on saving up my money and going back over there before the end of this year to work. The London Pubs program seems like the best option for someone like myself, having worked in pubs and restaurants since I was 16, hospitality is what I know, and the pubs and drinking culture in London and the UK would be awesome fun to experience from both sides of the bar, not only drinking in them but also serving behind them. It would be an amazing learning experience and so much fun!

I just wish I could get paid to travel the world, experiencing different cultures and opening my mind to different traditions from every corner this amazing earth has to offer. That would be my dream.

I will leave you with some random pictures from my trip away and hopefully I will be able to share some new ones with you in a few months time when I am back over there once again, living it up in such an amazing country.

LUSH Christmas Bathtime Favourites

So yesterday I was in Highpoint Shopping Centre and I walked past LUSH and couldn't help but go in and check out what bath bombs they had in stock. I  usually go in an buy one or two at a time, but when I got in there I found they had load of limited edition christmas ones!! 

And because I couldn't decide on what ones to buy the lady suggested I buy the gift box 'Christmas Bathtime Favourites' which had most of their festive collection in it, so….. $60 later thats exactly what I brought. 

It smells so good and the box is so pretty!

So in it you get 10 different bath bombs, some are new and others come back every year before christmas, of the 10 I have only used 2 of them before which are the 'Avobath Bath Ballistic' and the 'Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic' which I loved! 

Golden Wonder Bath Ballistic:
Unwrap your Christmas spirit, with stimulating sweet orange and lime oils.

This is the one I used last year and loved it! Its covered in a gold shimmer powder and its filled with crazy bright colours inside which makes the water look amazing and it smells amazing!

Shoot For The Stars Bath Ballistic:

A magnificent bath bomb with our Honey I Washed The Kids fragrance.

Both ladies working in the shop at the time told me at different times how good this one was, it was both of their favourites. They said it is filled with a silver shimmer powder and little glitter stars. This will be the first one I will use for sure.

So White Bath Ballistic:
For the fairest bath of them all, delicate rose and uplifting bergamot for when you need a moment of calm.

In Zoella's recent Lush Haul she raved about this one, and it smells wonderful!

Cinders Bath Ballistic:
Be transported to the fireside with warming cinnamon leaf oil and crackling popping candy.

Im excited to try this one and see how it acts in the water, obviously its not edible popping candy but I am curious to see if it reacts similar to popping candy when put in the bath.

Father Christmas Bath Ballistic:
Refreshing mandarin oil provides plenty of festive bath time cheer.

This will be the one I will use on christmas eve. It sounds and smells like the best addition to the bath just before christmas.

Luxury Lush Pud Bath Ballistic:
Relaxing and comforting lavender scented pud, perfect for a bedtime bath.

Im not to sure how this one will go, I'm not the biggest fan of lavender, actually I hate the smell of lavender, although it doesn't smell to strongly of lavender I'm just hoping that once it hits the water it docent explode with a lavender smell, but I have a feeling that the water is going to look amazing with all the colours.

Avobath Bath Ballistic:
Like a reviving, lemongrass spa bath, complete with an avocado and olive oil massage - almost.

This is also one I have used before, this one is available at LUSH all year round and great for any day, so fresh and relaxing.

Snowman Bath Ballistic:
Let this big softy moisturise and nourish you with creamy cocoa butter.

The lady in the store said that after using this little guy your skin will feel amazing because of the cocoa butter in it. I am a big fan of cocoa butter so I have a feeling I'm going to love this one.

Bombardino Bath Ballistic:
A softening lemon cheesecake scented bomb, for pure Alpine indulgence. 

This was by far the best smelling one, I was going to buy it regardless of it being in the box or not, it smells so amazing, it has a really creamy scent and it is apparently based on a european christmas drink. If this is true I want to try the drink!

Think Pink Bath Ballistic:
Bathe in sweet, fragrant pinkness with an explosion of confetti hearts.

And this is the last one in the box, I'm pretty sure this is another one you can get all year round in LUSH, it smells really sweet which I love, and judging by its colour the bath is going to be pretty amazing!

Well that is all from me today, I hope you have enjoyed this post.
Have a wonderful Christmas with friends and family :)
