My first time at Lush

Hey so over the weekend I did something very exciting! I finally went to Lush! I saw the store while driving to lunch and I was like "We have to stop!" If you don't know what Lush is, it's a brand/store that makes handmade cosmetics, bath soaps, beauty items.... Its a really cool and original concept. Their bath bars/ products are so colorful and yummy smelling, and look like pastries; they are so perfect looking. I didn't buy anything beacause it was my first time so I thought I'd go home and do some research on which products are best. Also, I'll probably wait for Christmas to buy them since they're kind of on the more pricey side. But I guess its worth it for what it is and the quality. SO here are some pictures of my experience at Lush!!

These are bath soaps/bath bars (not really sure what they're called.) But these were the Christmas'y ones. They had snowmen, and stars, and just little cute holiday themed packages.

Some more bath bars which looked good enough to eat!! 

These are all face masks, they're all for different skin types and preferences. These are really cool since they are handmade and natural... (They had masks with ingredients like lavender for dull skin, chocolate for oily skin, honey for deep cleansing...)

These are their face cleansers, which look pretty awesome. They're like rolls and you just cut off how much you want. I'm thinking of trying their Agua Marina cleanser, since its good for sensitive skin. And it looks like a giant sushi roll!

Just some more products that I liked or  thought were cool.... The gorilla perfume, shampoo bars, some more bath bars, ...

I am so excited to go back to Lush and buy some things I've been looking at on their website! Hope to go back soon. Their customer service is actually pretty good too. The employees try to help you out with everything and find what you're looking for, recommend products for you preference.
Anyways, hope you all enjoyed these pictures and hearing about my first Lush experience.. :)

Hey ya'll!December is finally here, but its still kind of warm where I live...Anyways I saw this on youtube recently and it seemed fun so I decided to do it. This is the Holiday Tag which was created by Macbarbie07 who is a beauty guru on Youtube. Soo here goes!


1) Which holiday do you celebrate?
- I celebrate Christmas!!

2) What are you doing for the holidays this year?
- I'm visiting family in New Jersey and Rhode Island, which I'm very excited about.

3) Favorite Holiday Drink?
- Either the Caramel Brulee Latte or White Peppermint mocha from Starbucks... I basically love all the holiday drinks at Starbucks! :)

4) Candy Cane or Gingerbread Man?
- Candy Cane!!! And I've also never had a gingerbread man so I wouldn't know how it tastes but I love candy canes.

5) Favorite Holiday/Christmas Song?

8) What is most important to you about the holidays?
- I think the most important thing for me during the holidays is just spending time with family and having a good time. Everyone is so happy during the holidays and so am I. Its so important to be with family and let them know how much you love them and appreciate them by spending time with them and making memories. I also love the food part of Christmas, that's pretty important too. ( Who doesn't like cookies and milk and Christmas dinner?) :D

Enjoy this picture of my dog wishing you Happy Holidays in his Christmas sweater!

My winter favorites!

          Hi everyone! So I just wanted to share some of my essentials and favorites for the cold winter time/holidays!

          I absolutely love winter fashion because I love wearing warm sweaters and scarves and boots!

           My next favorite of winter is the hot holiday Starbucks drinks. They are so amazing and make you feel so happy inside! :) My favorites are the caramel brullee latte, peppermint hot cococa, and the white chocolate mocha.

          Okay, the next thhing I'm going to talk about is a must have essential for winter. My skin gets really dry in the cold days so my hands will get all cracked, my lips chapped, face dry. So I'' always use a good mositurizer. I like to use the L'Occitane cream for my hands, Carmex or EOS balms for my chapped lips, and my Neutrogena  Naturals moisturizer for my face.

And I think that's all for now, guys! Leave a comment below of your favorite wintertime products/ items.
