Mother's Day Recommendations

Hi all!

I've done a quick post to share a few Mother's Day ideas that you can send or arrange as a surprise. These are all local to South Wales so are great if you don't want to travel far or give local!

I have personal experience of each of these places, treatments and products so can fully recommend as a gift for your mum (or any other worthy female in your life!)

Lush Spring Collection

Hey All

Last week L and I headed to Lush Cardiff to see what treats they have in store this year for spring. We were excited to head down and stock up on our favourite shower gel from last year Yummy Mummy (here's our review from last year of it. It still has the same scent but is now a shower cream and slightly shimmery).

So onto this years treats. As soon as I saw the Happy Mother's Day set I had to get it for my mum. It's an amazing tin which comes with paper impregnated with seeds which you grow in the tin after. What a great idea to use the packaging. It also has a great mix of products including the amazing sunflower bubble bar below which smells like sherbet lemons (I think this one is an exclusive but rumour is it may appear in the kitchen. I'll be snapping it up if it does!). Definitely a great treat for mum's or yourself.

Another amazingly packaged item is the Good Egg! How cute is he, I want it for myself. It also includes the amazing humpty dumpty bath bomb that L and I instantly fell in love with and had to buy. It lasts for 3 baths. This one contains a great mix of bubble bars and bath bombs.

Along with Humpty Dumpty I had to buy Golden Egg. Look at the glitter on this bad boy!! Golden Egg is a bath bomb melt. It has a luxurious coating packed full of cocoa butter to soften the skin and then has a bath bomb inside. It smells amazing like sweet toffee and cocoa butter too. It's amazing!!

Ultraviolet is a new bubble bar added to the mix. Check out that blue shimmer and amazing colour. The girls get the most amazing amount of bubbles. We got given a little tip which was to buy a cheap sieve crumble the bath bomb and then run it under the hot tap to get the best bubbles and smell released. Ultraviolet joins the bubble bars below to create and amazing set.

This little guy the Ladybird bubble bar was a big hit with L (she used him last night so expect a full review soon) and I. L couldn't resist buying one and I'll be popping in to grab one soon. He smells like peppermint and produces an amazing red bath.

Somewhere over the rainbow was a instant hit with L and she was very pleased it was in her goodie bag as she was debating buying it but resisted at the last minute. It's soooo pretty. We weighed it to see how much the whole thing would cost but unfortunately couldn't leave with it. Apparently this is a great one to clean you're make up brushes with too.

This is bouncing bunny how cute is this little guy!! He's a bath jelly which I'm still trying to get used too I currently have one and spend a lot of a shower chasing it round the tub. This one smells amazing though like chocolate orange so I'm excited to try it. I'm going to pop it in the freezer as apparently that makes for a great treat post exercise aching muscles!

And last but by no means least L and I's favourite item. We've both bought one so far but will be back for more it's Yummy Mummy. This is my all time favourite shower gel. It has an amazing sweet almost strawberry scent but it's not cheap or sickly smelling as you'd expect. The scent also lasts on your skin so long!!! If you've not tried it I'd definitely recommend getting one.

Expect lots of lush over the next few weeks as L and I couldn't resist buying lots of the collection whilst we were there! Have you grabbed anything yet?

Lush Yummy Mummy Shower Gel

Hey All

On Sunday we posted about our visit to the Lush Cardiff store for their Mother's Day and Easter Event. 

One of the first things we tried was the Yummy Mummy shower gel. It's an amazing purple colour and lathers up really well.

It's got a sweet smell to it almost reminds us of strawberries. It's main ingredients for scent are Brazillian Orange Oil, Tonka Absolute (this contributes to the sweet smell), Carrageenan extract for moisturising and Geranium oil for balancing and toning.

Neither of us have actually tried Lush shower gels before so we were excited to have the product tested on us in store and even more excited when we found it in our goodie bag.

One of the most impressive things we've found is how much the smell lasts. I've never noticed the scent from a shower gel stay on the skin before. It leaves a beautiful after smell which lasts even longer when paired with the Yummy Mummy body conditioner which is a great in the shower moisturiser, perfect for cold mornings when you don't want to wait for a moisturiser to sink in.

M is already planning to buy more to stock up before it gets discontinued! If you've not smelt it head down to your local lush. It's a great one for mum's or as a treat to yourself.

Their mother's day range is so perfect, there are sets ranging in all sizes and with products that smell as good as these why on earth would you go anywhere else??

And have you SEEN the Mother Superior Bubble Bar?? So cute!!

Love L and M

Mothers Day

As it's Mothers Day we decided to not do a chemical of the week post this week but they will be back next week.

We hope you all have a lovely day with your families. What did you get your Mums or receive as a Mum yourself?

I got my mum a Cath Kidston shopper bag, a selection of lush stuff and some jewellery. 

Have a lovely Sunday
