Latest Lush Loves

 One of my greatest pleasures in life is bathing. I swear I was a mermaid in a previous life- I should get me a clam bra. Due to not being a mermaid however I've opted for the next best thing. Lush (https://www.lush.co.uk/) makes me so happy. If you live near a Lush shop you will know what I mean when I say it's a shop you will definitely smell before you see. I adore the shop and always make sure I have a daily visit to keep my precious supplies topped up like some crazed lush-loving magpie. Not one to be selfish, I thought I'd share my favourite Lush products with you lovely people in hopes to spread the joy these products bring to my bathing.  

Here are a few things I have been loving in the last month...

"Candy Mountain" 

Candy floss sweetness mixed with dolly mixtures. This little beauty will turn your bath into a cloudy marshmallow mountain of bubbles, and transport you to candy land. I love this little pick me up if I'm feeling particularly fluffy. 

"Mmmelting Marshmallow Moment"

Another one to satisfy any sweet craving is this little beauty. This little beauty leaves my skin feeling super soft and I love to pair it with my brand new shower gel obsession- "Imperial Leather" Marsh mallow. Do you notice a theme here?! 

"Intergalactic" 

I was transported to Space. This bath bomb was visually fantastic. Blast off happened and after I was left with a gorgeous glittery blue sky to relax in. The aroma was sharp and spicy with Lush comparing it to aftershave. This is definitely something I'd repurchase in a heart beat and it brought me to a happy place. 

Perfect night sky.

"The Experimenter"

Saving the best to last for this one. This was my first time using "The Experimenter" and it was glorious. So much so, I had to go out and buy more.  There are no words to describe how funkadelic this bath bomb is, so I've linked you to a fabulous video of the product from my Instagram. 

 Described on the Lush website as having a "poppy candy" scent that descends into a sweet vanilla aroma. 

This one was just fabulous. Well done, Lush!

Living Coasts, Torquay. PENGUINS!

 Tonight is meant to bring the coldest night in three years according to tabloid reports plastered all over my Facebook feed (we will see)- but yesterday brought me penguins. I absoloutely love penguins, and I am lucky enough to live near Torquay. Torquay brings me Living Coasts.

"Welcome to Living Coasts, an all weather attraction, located on Torquay seafront in South Devon, where there’s plenty to see and do: mingle with the playful penguins, get up close to the otters, octopus and seals, and much more. Visit Penguin Beach to walk with the African and macaroni penguins and catch our entertaining feeding time talks.

Below the decks the fun doesn't stop. With more fascinating habitats and creatures, there are games, activities and panoramic underwater viewing areas for our stunning species..

Open to all, our Living Coasts Café is free entry to non-visitors too, so come in anytime for family friendly, local food and drink with panoramic sea views overlooking the Bay.

Grab some feel good shopping at Tradewinds Gift Shop anytime without visiting the zoo. It's packed with wonderful products to suit all ages, from plush toys and games to books, clothing and confectionary. There's also a huge range of Fair Trade jewellery and local art. All profits go towards our conservation work."

 Perfect. It was a fantastic day out, and you actually get to be among the penguins. Day. Made.

 Of course, as ever I was camera happy and had to capture all the cuties I met. 

Enjoy!

"An attack on one is an attack on us all"

 Yesterday brought the sunshine and it also brought "GAY PRIDE" to the city of Plymouth. Gay Pride is growing more and more every single year, and it is an absolutely fantastic, well thought out day. Quoted as a day that is about "bringing people together"- and that it definitely is. So many people came together to make it awesome, and namely Ricky-Lee and Jazmine who put on such a fantastic display. The crowds where entertained from early noon to evening- and that is definitely a task in itself. I am happy to say they succeeded and there was not a moment where I was not in awe by what was in front of me. I will forever support causes that will stamp out the horrible hate that still sadly surrounds the world we live in. 

 Check out my snaps from an extremely successful Pride. I am insanely excited for next years already. 


 Well done all who made it great! 

Camping!

 I am definitely someone who acts on impulse. Last week, I really wanted to go camping. So, on Saturday, my other half and I headed off on a last minute camping trip. I am lucky enough to live about a 10 minute drive from Cornwall, which opens up a variety of camping hot spots and sites.

 We ended up in Perranporth in a lovely little campsite called "Tollgate Farm". Highly reccomended to anyone wanting somewhere to camp! Glorious staff and extremely helpful. There is even hot food available for those who want breakfast or an evening meal.

 The best bit was however, the little farm section on the campsite. I met a rather lovely pig. I am a sucker for animals.

 Perranporth also had a pretty amazing beach bar called "The Watering Hole". Right on the beach and fabulous. 

Enjoy my pictures from this weekend!

Note to self: must remember socks and warmer bedding next time... 

Cat friend!
