Yankee Candle!

Rainwashed Berry

My oh my, this is such a beautiful scented candle! This is actually the first Yankee Candle I've tried, I've wanted to try these out for so long!

Yankee Candles are very expensive, therefore I've tried avoiding them. But, today I discovered that you can get smaller candles, almost as if they're testers. Of course these are far less expensive but unfortunately, do not last as long. 

As part of my Pamper Evening, I used the Rainwashed Berry candle (a Friday night treat!) whilst in the bath. The scent is delicious! It's as if someone rounded-up all Autumnal berries and put them together! It smells like Autumn/Fall to me which is exciting. I'm hoping this will last quite long, although it is a small candle. I'll be re-purchasing this candle in it's normal size in the near future as it's such a lovely scent!

Highly recommendable! The color of the candle is even pretty!

Pamper Evening Essentials!

We all know that Friday night evening after a long week at work or school and you just want to relax whilst eating chocolate or crisps in front of the television!

Instead of taking the unhealthy route, I like to have a pamper evening. A few hours to yourself is all you need if it's been a particularly hard or busy day. You don't have to talk to anyone, all you do is relax.

So to kick of any pamper evening, I'd start to run the bath so that you don't have to wait around, with that chocolate temptation rising higher and higher! I love getting bath bombs to plonk in the bath or sweet bubble bath's but unfortunately I don't have them tonight, so I opted for a shower gel which makes lots and lots of bubbles!

Then I'll wash my face because we don't want our make-up heading south for the winter with all the moisture from the bath:P

I absolutely adore this combination! It's so good for your skin and removes make-up so well. I won't go into this too deep as I'll make a blog post about skincare soon. But I use this combination to wash my face before stepping into the bath using a cotton wool pad for the cleansing lotion and a flannel for the face wash.

I like "dramatic" baths as my brother puts it, so candles are an essential, scented ones are always a treat!

I feel candles set the mood and just add to the relaxation

After the bath is full I'll actually get in, which is pretty straight forward. I like to try different beauty products in pamper evenings, and the two treatments I've been using most and am seriously running out of are slightly more expensive products and are a wonderful gift.

I apologize that you cant even see the text on the bottle on the right as it's actually worn off which is an inconvenience, nevertheless it is Pecksniffs body oil which leaves your skin silky smooth and really moisturizes. I tend to use this after i use the Sanctuary Body Scrub so that i exfoliate my skin before putting the body oil on top. I recommend these two products as they are a lovely treat and the body scrub has actually lasted me ages!

I'll then use a moisturizing shower gel to shave my legs and I use Lemon Burst Wow Refreshing shower gel by Anovia.

I really enjoy this and it's brilliant for shaving and it moisturizes very well (I think you get the idea that I like moisturizing :P). Also it smells like lemons, what more do you want in life?!

After all the jobs are done, I just relax and enjoy!

When I'm done I will then wash my hair in the shower with my Tresemme combo which i reviewed in a previous blog here if you'd like to read. If I'm feeling like i want to treat my hair further, I'll use a masque to repair any dry or damaged hairs on my head so that my hair's ready for the weekend!

I like to use this as my hair's fairly wavy and this is a nice treatment to keep my waves under control! Of course we all have different hair types and we like different brands, so choose the hair masque that you prefer to complete this part of your evening. You're supposed to apply this to towel dried hair and leave for around 10 minutes.

So after this is works it's magic i rinse it out with a wide comb and then leave my hair to dry. Then my face is starting to dry from the moisture of the bath so I want to keep my skin hydrated so I apply a light moisturizer by Simple which is brilliant, again I'll include this in a skincare blog post in the near future.

Then I'll apply a body moisturizer or polish to my legs and arms to keep them nice and soft. To finish off the evening I'll paint my toenails...

In a previous blog post, I talked about the perfect nail colour for autumn and this is one of my deep red wine colors!

I then let my nails dry and watch tv or youtube, feeling all fresh and pampered!

Oh my, Chanel?!

Well, well, well. How could such a classic, simple bag be so complex when it comes to purchasing?! Of course I'm talking about Chanel.

Now, I wish I could send all of you lovely readers one of the bags above, but unfortunately the price tag is enough to put most people into cardiac arrest.

Chanel bags are a classic. Always have and always will be. These Couture pieces would go with any outfit as there's no crazy pattern or bold print on it. We must wonder, if a piece of such high quality, extremely wearable and will last forever, is really worth spending nearly thousands of pounds on.

A lot of people don't understand the time and effort that's put into couture pieces and that they are very hard to copy or create a 'look-a-like' of. In foreign markets like Spanish markets, I've seen "Chanel" bags sold very often, with people telling you that it's "REAL!" Of course, we know it isn't as you would never find a Chanel bag for 20 Euros!

These bags are one of a kind and a pang of jealousy rushes through me if I see someone with such an eye catching piece haha.

Beautiful. Chic. Elegant. Classy.

If you are someone who loves Chanel then don't give up on buying one of these gorgeous works of art as they are amazing and you can't find much, if anything like this! I'm certainly not giving up anytime soon!

Little Black Dresses!

A little black dress is a key item in any woman's wardrobe!

These are cute, simple, chic and sweet and you can certainly accessorize them in anyway; whether you want a bright pink chunky bracelet or a fine set of silver earrings!

One of the many great things about these dresses are the fact that they are in pretty much any shop you walk into, there'll be at least one depending on the size of the store. They're also easy to order online as most websites have a special category for them, they're just that amazing haha.

The price range for these simple yet sweet dresses are enormous as they can range from £5 to £100 depending on how high the quality or how big the brand is. So there's no excuse ladies! :P

If you are looking for a designer label dress and have the money for it then go for it, but if you're a teenager like I am, who's constantly changing I think a dress with the smaller price tag is the best option!

There's so many inexpensive dresses out there on the high street as well as online. I recommend missguided.com as I have my eye on this particular dress which is only £6.99 but is still beautiful.

 As for high street shops Primark is great for finding dresses that are for a one off occasion. I know it's not everyone's cup of tea so if you prefer slightly higher quality then New Look is always great and H&M always has a bargain.

Sweetheart, square, halter, curved. Empire, natural, skater, bodycon, babydoll. Pick any style that flatters your shape and keep this dress as your savior. The best friend of your wardrobe!
