IT - Alexa Chung - Book Review

Lately, I have found myself glued to this unique book. I think even from the appealing cover of this book, you can tell its going to be a good read. I was right, in fact it was a great read. This book is not a story book that involves characters and plots, but is simply focused on Alexa Chung's life, sense of style, her inspirations, and small childhood stories. With her quirky doodles and photographs combined with her amazing writing, I found it being the perfect read. If your into fashion icons, such as Alexa Chung, and taking a look into there life and how they developed their individualized sense of style, then I definitely recommend this book. If not I'm sure you would enjoy this book, personally I think its hard not to. If your looking for a good book to read, then definitely give this book a try!


Hey everyone, I apologise for not posting last week as I was very busy with school. Now since it is the holidays I have been writing posts a lot so I'm ready when school goes back to not miss a week. Comment some good books to read, since I've devoured this one and need a new one to read. Hope your all well and I will see you next week!

How To Jazz Up Water

These days water is often taken for granted by many people when in reality we wouldn't be here without it. The recommended daily intake of water is approximately 2 litters and yet so many people fail to meet this amount (including myself). I think the main reason is because we are all so busy and just forget to. So today I thought I would share some easy ways you can make your water more appealing and yummy! 

Detox Water

This is a very simple and may I say, an extremely easy way to give your water a slight burst of flavour while making your water look amazing. Basically what you do is fill your water bottle with cold water, then just chuck in your favourite fruits, and there you have it. My two favourite flavours I alternate between are lemon with a bit of lime and mixed berries.

Cordial

I know people try to avoid cordial knowing its full of sugar but my thoughts are its better to have cordial than not drink water at all. You can still get your daily intake of water just with some added sweetness to make you want to drink more. Also when I am choosing a cordial I tend to look for the ones with less sugar and more natural ingredients, thats why I love this brand of the cordial in the picture!

Tea

Lately I have been drinking so much tea, I think I could be addicted. I just absolutely love tea and I have so many different flavours I vary between each day. At the moment I have been loving peppermint tea with a squirt of honey to add some extra flavour. The reason tea is incredible is because it hydrates you while giving you a boost of antioxidants. There are many different types of tea so you can choose the best one that suits you. The brand of tea I use is T2 which literally has every tea flavour imaginable!

Thanks so much for reading! Please leave some suggestions of what posts you would like me to write. Hope you are all well.

Lush Haul

If you read my previous post you would know I went to Melbourne last week which was amazing! This week I decided to show you the products I purchased at Lush and give my opinion on each product. When I walked into the store it gave off a relaxed vibe filled with delicious scents. To be honest, I think I lost track of the time whilst I was in there delving into each product. I wanted to buy everything in the store because everything is so appealing, but because I was on a tight budget I couldn't, even though I wanted to. Anyway, here are the products I did happen to purchase, enjoy!

Oatfix face mask

This delicious product applied all over the face is sure to leave your skin feeling incredible. It has the consistency of poridge and the smell is to die for (not literally). When I first used this I found it easy to apply and because it has the sticky consistency of porridge, it does not slide of your face once put on. I left it on my face to dry for about 15 minutes and once I had removed it, my face felt clean and refreshed. This face mask focuses on sensitve skin by softening an and moisturising it. It has a blend of bananas, vanilla and oats to cool and and nourish your skin while also reducing redness. I have been using this mask on a daily bases and have found my skin feeling a whole lot better!

Honey Bee Bath Bomb

This fizzy bath bomb coats your water in soothing honey while making your bathroom smell delicious. As soon as I dropped it into the water, instant bubbles appeared at the surface and fizzes filled my ears leaving me very satisfied. Lush are famous for their incredible bath bombs and I can totally understand why. I absolutely love this bath bomb and I can't wait to try more Lush bath bombs soon. 

Mint Lip Scrub

My friend (Zoe hah) told me about this unique product and from her description I was very eager to try it. Basically it is a scrub for your lips. You rub it into your lips then lick it off leaving the result as a tasty sugar lip butter. Once I had tried it, I loved it so much. I chose the flavour mint because when I lick it off it would give my breath a little burst of mint also. It also gave me that sort of tingling feeling in my lips and thats when you know you've found a good lip balm. I love the concept of this product and Lush have done a very good job at creating this. 

Thank you so much for reading, hope you enjoyed it! Also click 'here' to be taken to the Lush website if you wanna look at some of there amazing products! I will catch you guys next week for another post and in the meantime you should comment below :)
