Sarah Loves...Vanilla

I think Spurs boy is under no illusion that I love Vanilla. The flat is now full of candles, pot pourri, incense, bath products and I'm not sure he's noticed how much Vanilla ice cream I bought yesterday!

So here are my favourite Vanilla things

Lush Vanilla Fountain Bath Bomb

Lush Vanilla in the Mist Soap

Yankee Doodle Vanilla Cupcake

Body Shop Vanilla Body Lotion

M&S Soft Vanilla Scented Spheres

M&S Inclusion Vanilla Candle

 

M&S Soft Vanilla Infusion Sticks

 

Ikea Vanilla Vodka

Green & Black's Vanilla Ice Cream

I had a look around etsy for a friend's present and I came across something vanilla on there too. I love it and they sell so many items similar, perfect! Can't eat them though - althought they look good enough to eat!

 

Vanilla Slice by British Cream Tea 

I guess I could eat all the ice cream before Spurs boy finds them :-)

For Christmas I Got...

I hope you all had a good Christmas and that Santa was very good to you all!

I had a good Christmas, I have drunk far too much alcohol in the past few days and definitely need a detox now although the New Year festivities will bring more drinking :-)

I had a early Christmas present... I am no longer single :-). I've noticed on some blogs that I read that they don't tend to name their other half by name and instead give them a nickname. So I am calling mine "Spurs Boy", he is indeed a Tottenham Hotspur season ticket holder and myself as a Manchester United fan this is going to cause some banter... well opposites attract right?

Don't want to say too much as I don't want to curse it, but I've known him for over 3 years and he makes me happy :-)

And for Christmas he bought me books... I have had my eye on the Penguin Classic clothbound re-issues (20 books in total) that were released this year (2009) and Spurs Boy bought some of them for me :-) which means he had listened and knew which ones were my favourites (although in time I would like them all!).

I now have The Hound of the Baskervilles, Alice In Wonderland, Wuthering Heights, Great Expectations, Little Women and Oliver Twist. They are truly beautiful.

He also bought me some Lush goodies so he must have been reading my blog! I was indeed spoilt. But it's lovely. Enough before you all need a sick bucket :-(

I also got lots of jewellery, make- up, gadgets for work including a desktop Henry hoover for my desk! Haha! I will be travelling 'up north' on Tuesday for more presents as I visit my Dad and the rest of my family.

I will post my The Good, The Bad and The Ugly of my week tomorrow. What did you all get for Christmas?

Sarah Loves... Lush Cosmetics

I do I love Lush, absolutely love it!

Lush life believe... in making effective products from fresh organic fruit and vegetables, the finest essential oils and safe synthetics. We believe in buying ingredients only from companies that do not commission tests on animals and in testing our products on humans. We invent our own products and fragrances. We make them fresh by hand using little or no preservative or packaging, using only vegetarian ingredients and tell you when they were made. We believe in happy people making happy soap, putting our faces on our products and making our mums proud. We believe in long candlelit baths, sharing showers, massage, filling the world with perfume and in the right to make mistakes, lose everything and start again. We believe our products are good value, that we should make a profit and that the customer is always right.

Great for all those Christmas gifts where you are after something a little bit different and all girls love it!

Here are some of my faves;

Perfect for getting over a hangover then Too Drunk is the perfect cure or maybe if you find getting up in the morning difficult then try Up You Gets. Do you love cupcakes? Well try Cupcake as your face mask - don't eat it though! My other face favourite is Ocean Salt which I use every other day. 

I have wavy and sometimes unruly hair but this is perfect to tame those frizzes and curls so you gotta try Curly Wurly. Tried a shower jelly? Try this one Sweetie Pie is absolutely devine!

There are also the normal but wide selection of Christmas gift boxes available and there are lots to choose from with a variety of budgets! Lush is great and let me know your favourite lush products!
