Short but Sweet #2


A Little Lush Haul.





Whilst in Brighton, I popped into the Lush. I was planning on only picking the Tisty Tosty bath ballistic. But a the this happened…… *evil laugh*

Twilight Bath Ballistic

Blackberry Bomb Bath Ballistic 

Tisty Tosty Bath Ballistic

Think Pink Bath Ballistic

Granny Takes a Dip Bath Ballistic
No lets be serious, who doesn't love lush? I'm addicted and can't have a bath without one! My motto is "why have a bath,when you can have a lush bath?" (Not Really) But i am most excited about the Think  Pink bomb, because it smells of snow fairy which reminds me of christmas and I LOVE christmas. I am also super excited about the new Granny Takes A Dip bath bomb, it looks and smells awesome!

Fathers Day.

Fathers day.

As you probably know, last Sunday was father's day. My sister, dad and I had a really nice day and I thought I would share what we did. I suppose this is kind of a cafe review as well, but it was such a nice day I just had to write about it!!

 The first thing we did was go out for breakfast, with my friend Forest (see previous blog post) and her family. The cafe was called Pretty's, and I'm sorry I don't have a picture of the outside but they were re-doing their front so it didn't look great.
The inside was really nice and cosy with adorable quotes all over the walls. Here are a few pictures:







I had an Egg Royal which was sooooo good!! My sister had Eggs and Soldiers, Forest's little sister had a Croissant with Jam, Forest had Scambled Eggs on Toast, my Dad had Bacon and Spinach Benedict, and Forest's mum had a Full English. It was all really good and we will definatley be going back!!

We then walked around East Dulwich and popped into a few shops. I wasn't allowed to take pictures in most of the them but I got a few shots in this super cute vintage shop.




And of course, a day out with my Dad wouldn't be complete with out a stop at Starbucks. I was soooooo happy to see that they had brought back the Mocha Cookie Crumble, and brought out a Coconut Mocha frappucino!! I had to get it, and I can tell you, it is like drinking a liitle bit of heaven!


We then went to my Dad's friend house, but guess what, I left the camera at home!! *congratulates herself for being so generally amazing*.

But there you go, my Father's Day. Hope you liked those pictures and that you had a lovely day as well. 

Enjoy!

Neutrogena Visibly Clear : Review


Neutrogena Visibly Clear : Review

Neutrogena is one of our favourite skincare brands. Their visibly clear range is designed for spot prone skin. There's a variety of different cleansers, exfoliants and moisturises to suit different skin types. All great at soothing, clearing, cleansing and reducing problematic skin. We own quite a few products from the range, and thought we would share our favourites!!!


We own the Pink Grapefruit Cream Wash, Pink Grapefruit Oil-free Moisturiser, Pore and Shine Daily Scrub, 2-in-1 Wash and Mask.


This was both of our first ever skincare product, and to this day we still love it. It great for mornings and before you go to school because the scent is a great pick-me up and you instantly feel awake. It's a very creamy texture and is great for dry skin.


The oil-free factor is great for the teenage oily t-zone, and helps reduce spots. It has a very light weight  formula and doesn't block your pores. It's a great first moisturiser for those new to skincare, and is great paired with the matching cream wash.


THIS.IS.AMAZING. It actually does what it says on the tin! It mattifies  the skin and gives you a gorgeous, healthy glow. It clears your pores and keeps your skin visibly clear (skincare joke). It has an amazing scent of tangerine and lime. Perfect.


We got this as a recommendation from Essiebutton (one of our favourite you tubers, go check her out!). If Essiebutton loves it, you'll love it. We find it's better as a face wash than a mask. Although when using it as a mask it does leave your skin feeling a lot cleaner and is a really face mask as you only leave it on for 5 minutes.

There we go our review of the Neutrogena Visibly Clear! Hope you get some helpful tips!

A day out in Brighton.

A day out in Brighton.


During the half term, I went to Brighton with our friend Lottie, and Ruby was going to come but she went to Cornwall (see last blog post). I will be going to Cornwall at the beginning of the summer holidays so I shall do a blog post on that as-well!




We drove down to Brighton, which I'd never done before, as I had always got the train. We parked near the north lanes which I had never seen before, there were more independent shops and boutiques. It was super cute we found these adorable necklaces.







We came across this little cake shop and popped in for a bite to eat. I had a chocolate brownie, and Lottie had an oreo cupcake *drools at the thought*. 





Oh look, we found Lush!! *gasps in surprise* 


This made me laugh!!


After a day of shopping and strolling through the lanes, we went for dinner in a Vietnamese restaurant called Pho. Here's what we had to eat:


I opted for the Spicy Green Mango Salad topped with Pork, Dried Shrimp and Peanuts. I also had an Apple, Mint and Lime juice.


Lottie had a Pho Chay, which was a noodle soup with Tofu and Button Mushrooms. She had a Carrot, Apple and Ginger Juice.




After we had our meal, we took a stroll down the seafront, but the weather wasn't great and it started to rain so we retreated to the car :) .

Sorry that this was so long, but I hope you liked it!!

Enjoy! X
