Hey everyone,
After hearing so much hype about Lush Cosmetic's Christmas products, I finally gave in and bought a few items. Although I do love the odd Lush bath bomb, I've never been the type of person to go in and buy loads. I've heard that this smells quite like Snow Fairy, but I wasn't convinced enough to buy a whole bottle of it! So I settles for the Candy Mountain bubble bar instead- a girly, fairy-like cone of delight. As soon as I seen this little gem, I wanted to buy it. The pink and white swirls, and a silver sheen bright enough for any glitter lover made me realise why people love Lush! It just looks so cute, and I had to remind myself to snap a few pictures before rushing to take a bath and use it straight away.
Although I find scents quite hard to describe, from what I can recall this smells like sweets and candyfloss and Christmas all rolled in one. For those of you who don't know, you crumble the bubble bar under hot water and it creates big bubbles in your bath. By big, I mean HUGE. In all honesty, it was the most amount of bubbles I have had in one bath in my life! It also turned the bath bright pink and glittery- exactly what I expected.
I will definitely be repurchasing this nearer to Christmas, along with more Lush items! This quirky delight retails at just over €3.
Have you tried Candy Mountain? What Lush products will you be buying this season?

Hey everyone!
Before I get started, I have some exciting news for you guys! I've been shortlisted for Best Youth Blog in the Blog Awards Ireland! This is a huge milestone for me, especially since I've only been blogging a year. I've got some tough competition, so fingers crossed I make the shortlist. Congratulations to everyone else who was shortlisted, it was great to see some of my favorite bloggers among the different categories.
I also received my Junior Cert results on Wednesday. To anyone that doesn't know, the Junior Cert is the first set of state exams we take here in Ireland. I was thrilled with my results! 5As, 6Bs, all honours/at higher level. It was so nice to see that my hard work paid off! I was delighted with my A in English especially, seeing as it is my favorite subject! I received my first Pandora charm as a gift from my parents [seen below, the bracelet was a gift from my friend for helping at the wedding!]
Ok, now back on track- my outfit! I wore this outfit to the cinema last night. Myself and my friends went to see "White House Down" [which was brilliant in my my opinion, definitely kept me on my toes- and you can't say no to a bit of Channing Tatum either..] Can you believe that my mam picked this top up for me in Penneys for a mere €1?! I love the simplicity of it, adorned with a leather rim around the neckline. Paired with, of course, my trusty leather panelled leggings to compliment it. The shoes are a newbie to my blog, although I've had them for a while. Lets just say that I can barely last an hour in them, they cut the back of my feet and theyre too big! But that colour...
T-shirt; Penneys/Primark
Leggings- ^^
Bracelet- Pandora
Shoes- Doc Martens
Lipstick; Kate Moss for Rimmel

Hey everyone!
Finally nice to see that we're getting some good weather! Although it's warm, the sun is still trying to urge it's way through those typical Irish clouds. It was my cousin's communion yesterday and below is the outfit I wore to it. I can't remember the name of the shop I got the dress in [it was a local one] but I do remember it was as little as €10 last year! Last Summer, I had a small obsession with feather earrings, so as you can see the feathers have made their return [although debut to this blog]. Hope you like it!
Floral dress- can't remember the name of the shop but the brand says 'sugababe'
Wedge sandals- Heatons
Pink cardigan- Gap
Feather earrings- Penneys/Primark

Hey everyone!
Items used;
Hairspray neon pink
Essie silver chrome
Kiss nail art pen in black
Steps;
1. Paint your nails silvers- this is the easy part!
2. Starting at the left hand corner of your nails, paint a diagonal stripe with the pink and fill it in- so half of your nails are now pink [but at a diagonal]
3. Grab your black nail art pen. If you don't have one, just take normal black polish and use an old eyeliner brush instead! Paint a black line separating the silver and pink.
Easy as 1-2-3!
