Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown Urm, ok hi! 👋🏼 Putting my midweek breakdown 👀 on pause to let you all know I’ve got two more books to share 📚 (because I’m a millennial who clearly needs some validation) 😅😂
⠀
Let’s get down to business:
⠀
🌸 “Surprise Me” by Sophie Kinsella ⭐️/5
⠀
Honestly I’m so mad I read this, Kinsella books are usually cute and romantic but this one was a bag of shit 🤷🏼‍♀️
⠀
🌸 “Would Like to Meet” by Rachel Winters ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
Super cute, charming little romcom about how romcoms work. It’s basically a romcom in a romcom?!! 😂Full of adorable meet cutes and funny one liners BUT the main character is a bit frustrating on how unaware she is😅 probably only the downer for me! 💖
⠀

📖 BOOK REVIEW: “Tweet Cute” by Emma Lord
⠀
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
This was SO cute, I can’t even handle it. 😍A sweet, lighthearted story full of food, twitter and cheesy puns. 🎉
⠀
The characters are super likeable (apart from the v controlling Mum, ew)  and the writing just flowed really well. It’s kind like a present day telling of “You’ve got Mail” but with a few other elements chucked in for good measure. 💖

Manic Monday ritual: Four Lush products I use for a little “me time”

Manic Monday

Monday is such an important day and it does around seven days a week. Now, make no mistake, I love my job but sometimes on a Monday you just need to give yourself a little bit more me time. Just really, reward yourself for getting back into the swing of the week. Lush to the rescue.

So when I get home, there are five products that I like to use through my manic Monday evening and allows myself to calm and soothe down. I do also sometimes use these products throughout the rest of the week, but these are mainly for manic mondays without fail.

 

Pink Peppermint Foot lotion

I adore pink peppermint foot lotion and I honestly think there’s no other product out there that can beat it. It literally leaves your feet in mint condition. It has a beautiful, delicate smell of mint thats not too powerful when spreading out over your feet. The mint also helps boost the circulation right in your feet, really allowing them to refresh after a long day, stomping around the offie in heels.

I repeatedly buy this product because its just so damn good! I put this on every Monday after work and just slip some comfy socks over. The feeling in your feet is amazing.

Lush pink peppermint lotion

Lush: Rosy Cheeks facemask

I am a big fan, of lush and their fresh face masks. I’ve tried a few and my skin has always felt amazing afterwards. however theres one in particular which is my die hard favourite. Rosy cheeks facemask, just makes me feel so, so good. Its such a cleansing face mask and its actually really perfect to use in the hotter seasons because it cools you down immensely.

I usually pop this on after dinner, when my Manic Monday is just about winding down. It’s best to leave it on for the full 15 minutes so you can reap the benefits of your skin smelling fresh and feeling smooth once its all taken off.

 Lush Rosy Cheeks face mask

Lush: Sleepy Body Lotion

Now, I am sure you’ve heard f this one before. I know I am pretty late to the game when it comes to the gorgeous Lush sleepy body lotion. It’s the perfect recipe for winding my body down to get the perfect nights sleeps for the next day. I really think lavender is the perfect scent for calming and soothing your body and soul. For me, the smell is heavenly and just simply perfect.

This is something I lather all over myself no less than half an hour before bed. Partly because I really want this to be one the last few things I use before bed so my body can concentrate on absorbing all its lavender goodness. This really does help me fall off to sleep, so much more than I thought it would. Its particularly amazing for hot summer nights, when its actually a little difficult to get to sleep.

 Lush Sleepy Lotion

Sleepy tea

My favourite bedtime drink. I am actually banned from drinking this unless I am going to bed straight after. Resoning being, i once drank it before we were about to cuddle up and watch a film and i just ended up snoozing off. Pretty much from the beginning of the film.

My favourite sleepy tea is Clippers, snore and peace. Its a comforting infusion that balances chamomile and lavender, making it smell delicious and taste heavenly. Its the best drink to have, just before lights out. I first tired this tea when I couldn’t sleep one bit, (two years ago during stressful uni deadlines) and its just sorted me out.

Lush sleepy tea

So there you have it. My die hard Manic Monday products. I really lush does do the best products for treating and balancing your body. I love my little Monday ritual and look forward to it towards the end of the working day. If you give any of these products and try and and add them to your bedtime routine and please let me know what your thinking!

If you’re interested in learning about another gorgeous beauty product then have a read of this!

Full lockdown has definitely allowed more time for Full lockdown has definitely allowed more time for reading and I’m not mad about it... 💁🏼‍♀️
⠀
Second book of 2021 all done ✅ (currently on my fourth - we won’t talk about the third 😫)
⠀
“The Love Square” 💗 by Laura Jane Williams
⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
⠀
The perfect swoony, sweet read to escape lockdown for a few hours. Didn’t grab me as much as her novel “Our Stop” I do have to admit. (Really recommend you read “Our Stop” if you love a romance! 😍)
⠀
Started off really well, really fast paced but the plot became a bit dragging in some places. Our main gal is not reallllly in a Love Square and I think a lot of needed detail to help the story was just missing??🤷🏼‍♀️ I never really felt like there was this big aha moment. BUT the ending was cute, sweet and redeemed it for me... 😘
