Why I Love Autumn!

Hello Lovelies! 

Its officially Autumn (or Fall) ! Like many others, Autumn is one of my favourite times of year and there are many reason whys I am very excited about this season despite the rather unpredictable wet and gloomy British weather (We can skip past that part).

Today I thought I would share with you my favourite things that I adore about this time of year.

Cosy Jumpers

There is nothing better than putting on a thick cosy knit jumper to keep you warm on those cold crisp mornings. I also love being able to whip out my winter coat collection, boots and layering with scarves, you could be wearing the simplest of outfits underneath but look stylish on the outside (well I try!). The only issue I have is when I go shopping, I usually get farrrr to warm (Especially in Primark) and end up stripping of my layers.

Dark Nights 

Autumn also means that the days are shorter and the nights come earlier, the clocks will go back an our on the 29th October in the UK which means we get an extra hour in bed!! Now who can complain about that. There is just something that is really cosy about coming home and getting a candle lit Lush hot bath, putting on my cosy PJS whilst having a hot chocolate . The mornings are of course darker too which can make it a little harder to get out of bed in the morning but something about the brisk morning chill that really wakes me up.

Crispy Leaves 

The sound of the the crispy leaves crunching under my feet is literally music to my ears and that's when you know that Autumn has finally arrived. Of course you also have the concors falling from the trees which just reminds me of my childhood. With the weather being that extra bit nippy it also means Coffee dates (or Hot Chocolate for me!) with friends or loves are a must.

Halloween 

Of course one of the main reasons that I love autumn is because it means Halloween is comingggg!! I really love Halloween and am really hoping that I get invited to a fancy dress party because I love dressing up. I have already seen some Halloween themed items in the shops and I am getting rather excited and do wish I lived in my own house because I would go to town on the decorations. This also means that I can watch Hocus Pocus on repeat! Plus Halloween is close followed by Bonfire Night, something I dont usually celebrate as I am often in work but hopefully I will make it to a display this year. 

Most of all I love Autumn because it means CHRISTMAS isn't too far away!!!!

Whats your favourite things about Autumn?

Lush Liverpool Blogger Event! Halloween Range & Spa Tour

Hello Lovlies!

So a couple of weeks i was very kindly invited by Lush Liverpool to their exclusive blogger event! I was very excited as i have only ever been to one other blogger event which was at the Lush in Chester so i was looking forward to meet more blogger in my area. I absolutely love lush and incase you didn't know i actually worked in the Liverpool last year during the Christmas period so i was also looking forward to seeing some familiar faces. I wasn't sure what to expect from the event but i was guessing it would have something to do with the new Halloween range and their spa and i was correct. So i will talk you through the event and also talk you through the new products, here we go....

So prior to the event i met up with the lovely Kathryn who writes the blog 'Cherries In The Snow' , we had met at a previous Lush event and i would definitely recommend giving her blog a read!

So we met up and walked over to the store where we were met by a massive group of fellow bloggers it was great to get to know new people and have a chat with them. Once the store doors opened we were welcomed into the store and were split into little groups to go around the store (there was also some edible goodies put on for us too! Haven't had a good scone in along time). 

All around the store there were different stations with Lush employees giving demonstrations and helping us find the perfect products for us, there was Andy on one station making the comforter bubble bar & cupcake face mask, Rosie was telling us more about the makeup range and gave us a few haircare tips.We were also given little sample pots so we could try out new products i grabbed a sample of the I Love Juicy Shampoo and the Million Dollar Moisturiser which Victoria from INTHEFROW always ravs about and so far i am loving it and maybe need to purchase the full size. 

Of course the moment we were all waiting for the HALLOWEEN Range! Now i absolutely love this season and i especially love Lush's take on this spooky time of the year and i think this year they have gone all out and even added some more autumnal items into the mix! Now I'm not going to go into super detail on all the products as I'm hoping to do a post dedicated to the range so hang tight for that one!

There are some old favourites back from previous years like the Sparkly Pumpkin Bubble Bar (my favourite!) swell as the Lord Of Misrule Bath Bomb & Shower Scream! There are also some fabulous new products on offer this year and i cant wait too try them all out! There are two new soaps, 2 gifts, 3 bath bombs, a bath melt and not to forget the beautiful knot wraps! Im pretty sure there is a product for everyone in this years range.

Lush Spa Liverpool are very proud of there English Countryside Spa and for a very good reason, its amazing! In the past i have been treated to a treatment here (review) and it was the best massage iv ever had the VIP treatment starts from the moment you walk into the store and leaves you feeling on cloud 9 for the rest of the day.

During this event we were given an exclusive tour of the beautiful spa with live demonstrations and demonstrations which gave me a real insight into the different treatments and am really looking forward to visiting the spa again (already have a Tailor Made booked!).

There is so much i could say about Lush's Spa so i think i may do a separate post about the different treatments! Maybe i just need to try them all...Just so i can tell you all about them of course! Research purposes hehe!.

I have to say i had a wonderful time at the Lush event and a massive Thankyou to Lush Liverpool for inviting me along! (Psttt who's excited about the Christmas Range launching on the 1st November? ME!). 

Have you got your hands on the Halloween Range?
