One of my favourite stores ever, has paired up with Edingburge chocolatiers Edward and Irwin, and have been hosting a stall at this years Islington Chocolate Festival. Six chocolates have been created exclusively for Gorilla Perfumes and are being used in the multi-sensory experience of chocolate and perfume pairing. These have been dreamed up using such ingredients to either taste like or complement six of the Gorilla Perfumes fragrances.

Me and my Husband have just come back from a fantastic weekend in London, another mini holiday I may have hijacked for Lush. We had a whole day of beautiful scented activities, that pleased all of our senses. We started our day by visiting the Gorilla Perfumes store at The chocolate festival (which I will be posting another blog about) as well as getting to interview the gorgeous Jon who is the manager of the store. Finally, we stopped by Lush Oxford Street for a shop and ended our scented day at the scented cinema. So as you can imagine, I have so much to tell you! But where to begin! Lets start with the reason I planned this little get away. The Gorilla Perfume Scented Cinema!

I was so excited to be asked along to blog the Gin Fizz Event taking place on the 28th November. I haven't had a night out since having my little one, I love a good rhythm and blues band with a gorgeous double bass, and I do not have to be asked twice to find a reason to dress up. So this came at a perfect time, as I was well in need of letting down my hair and kicking off my shoes (metaphorically speaking of course).

It seems that when it comes to the smell of a Lush Store, people either love it or hate it. I love the anticipation of walking towards a Lush store, being pulled in by the magical 'Lush Scent' and exploring what products my nose will lead me to. I love the image the fragrance presents to me, like a loony toons aroma cloud turning into a hand and beckoning me to Grannies pie in the window, or Charlie entering the chocolate factory. The smell of a Lush store is a friendly smile welcoming you in and hinting of the wonders inside.

My blog really has been the medicine I needed. It has kept me positive through my pregnancy and encouraged me to look after myself even after having my baby. Though I am one who usually sports a sunny disposition, sometimes I still struggle and recently things had gotten me a little off track. Luckily my trip to Poole couldn't of come at a better time.

One of the things I really value in a company is good customer care. I would count this as providing what I have paid for, offering advice when possible and being polite. It doesn't really take a lot to make me happy. Yet sometimes I find myself not shopping in stores just because I feel uncomfortable with people, (Yay the joy of an anxiety disorder). However when it comes to Lush, I have never been made to feel awkward and, as my son often comments, I feel like I'm a part of their very happy family.

I love how they describe their products, I love their funny puns and I love their quirky product names. I am also delighted by the fact that I now own a Lush product that shares the same name as my blog!

It is a well hidden secret that I'm a bit of a Lush addict and also a bit of a Makeup one too! Okay it's not a secret at all, you wouldn't even have to spend two minutes with me to work out just how obsessed I am. So I thought I would take a moment to bring two of my loves together.

Anyone who knows me, will know about my unhealthy obsession with dresses. Nothing makes me feel as good as getting made up and putting on a stunning dress that stands out. Sometimes however it can be a little difficult to find the perfect one. This can be made harder if your a plus size, interested in clothes that aren't in main stream stores or you live in a town with minimal shops.

My love for make-up may have turned into a bit of an addiction lately. This has not been helped by the fabulous promotions Make-up Revolutions have been offering. I took the opportunity, however, and one of the things I picked up was their new Ultra Contour palette. I've never ventured into the world of contouring, but I was rather interested to give it a go and to see if I could master the professional look others seemed to get from it.

With two young children, our house is sometimes a bit crazy. We all run around doing our daily tasks, and though we love our lives, it can sometimes leave you a bit frazzled. Luckily the whole family are big lush fans, and these products have often helped with normal daily situations. When we don't get to relieve our aches in a long bath, we can still take the time to recharge ourselves with a refreshing Lush shower.

One of my favourite aspect of Lush is their fragrances. When I found out they had one shop dedicated to their perfumes, (as well as actually making a perfume with Gorilla Perfume) it became the top of my wish list to go. Having recently delivered my second son, I've missed out on some great lush experiences, so when I heard Gorilla Perfumes Islington were having their one year birthday celebrations, I knew this was a perfect time to finally go and visit.

I've talked a little in my blog about how growing up I never had much confidence. I was bullied through out school and no matter how I looked there was always a reason someone didn't like me. As I grew up and found myself, I became happier and when I was offered a chance to model, I didn't understand why, but I gave it a try. Through modelling my confidence grew, I couldn't believe it when I got pictures back and I didn't look as bad as I thought I did. I worked so hard to accept myself for who I was, and to not change but improve on things I wasn't happy with.

I am lucky enough to be in Love, and even luckier to be loved in return. I do not take it lightly how fortunate I am in the fact that me and my love are able to build a life together. I often think back to the time when people in our situation (mixed race marriage) would of been hurt or ridiculed for simply loving one another. I can't help getting teary when I think of the pain caused and the anger felt for such a ridiculous reason. All love is beautiful, the world could not possibly be worse off for people sharing their love and being kind to each other.

Growing up I never felt beautiful, and I'm pretty sure the more I become unhappy with myself the worse I looked. Beauty Icons are very important in a young girls life. They do not just teach us how to dress and how to do our make up but they also offer comfort. They are there when we are growing and reaching out to learn who we really are. So a beauty style Icon for me is not about being perfect, it is about being yourself, overcoming your trouble and striving for positivity.

I love a variety of fragrances. Some scents I prefer for the particular feelings they invoke, and others for the memories. It may sound strange but scents are important to me. I love the smell after it rains; the smell of my child and the scent of my husband. They all remind me of different emotions such as love, safety and comfort. So when it comes to choosing a suitable fragrance for bath time, it needs to be more than just a "nice smell" it needs to wrap me in the atmosphere I desire.

My own business involves creating paper craft items for parties and helping people plan weddings and other special occasions, So parties are something I can't help throw myself into.

I am ready for picnics on beautiful rugs while I sip tea, lazing around in the sun and feeling the green grass beneath my feet.

I have never enjoyed Easter much, though I occasionally enjoy chocolate, it's not really something I get that excited about. So I was 'egg-static' to find out that Lush did an Easter Range and I could have lots of treats that I could enjoy and that were good for me.
I loved the Lush Easter Range, all the bright colours and gorgeous spring scents. One of the first things that drew me towards the Easter range was the the bright, shiny Golden Egg. Now I know for some people anything glittery puts them on edge, they don't want to deal with the glitter tiny up thats ensues. But for me, it spurs a childlike excitement that has me skipping around the room.

Our faces are so important. They greet our loved ones, offer comfort to those who need it and share our emotions when we can't quite find the words to express how we feel. A happy face can do a world of good and give people a positive impression of who you are. If you haven't picked up from my blog already, I am an avid promoter of positivity. This does not mean I am constantly in a good mood, believe me I can struggle to find the sunshine on a cloudy day as much as the next person. But I also believe that if we are in a place where everything looks bleak that its hard to pull yourself out unless you change your way of thinking.

This bath bomb comes in two colours. There is the Yellow 'no yoke', which is shaped as a large easter egg decorated with pretty green flowers. Then there is also the Pink 'great eggpectations', brilliantly displaying one side of yellow dots and the other with blue dots. When split open we find a hidden surprise inside, the pink egg hatches a little yellow chicken and the yellow egg a cute white bunny.

Though it is a beautiful vibrant yellow I feel this bath bomb sometimes gets over looked for all the glittery and colourful items. We all know that feeling now and then! So I decided I needed to give it a try. Just a couple of little blue flickers told me this Bath Bomb had a hidden secret and I had to find out what that was.

I was so excited when I heard that my hair piece was on its way for the Annabelle's Wigs Hair Piece Challenge. I couldn't wait to see what styles I could create using it. They had matched me with the 3/4 Wig Hairpiece 'Raven'. A long black, straight hair half wig with layers.
When it arrived I was amazed to see how close the colour suited my own hair and it felt so natural to touch. It is attached with two flexi combs at the front and back of the netted cap. It is easy to put in by simply parting the front section of your hair, and slipping the combs into the parting. Once the front and back combs are in place it feels very secure but you can also add extra bobbi-pins if you would like added security. After the hair piece is inserted the rest is up to you, have fun playing with it and wear it in whatever style you like.
