Tips to turn your day around!

HELLO MY SPARKLERS!!!

Before we dive straight into this post, I just wanna say thanks for everyone who voted on the polls, you guys voted for Cinna to live and you shipped Everthorne *facepalm* (why?!). Anyway, the polls are now closed and I'll be taking them down soon, if you want more or have and suggestions write to me in the comments.

We all have those days where we messed up. BIG TIME. Those days where we just want to crawl into a hole and not show your face to anyone again. So you made a mistake today... Well guess what? CONGRATULATIONS! You've proved that you're human! Here are a few tips to get you smiling again, and hopefully turn your day around.

1. MUSIC
Why was music invented? I'm actually not sure  but it does a GREAT job at cheering us up! Feeling sad? Don't listen to sad emo songs, listen to upbeat songs that make YOU feel happy. Get yoself a feel good playlist with all your favourite up lifting songs and just listen and let the music move you. Get up and DANCE. Its scientifically proven that singing makes you happier, so listen to your favourite jam and get yo groooove on guuuuurl! Seriously. Sing and dance like no one else is watching. I mean, who cares what anyone else thinks?

2. Get ACTIVE!

Do something completely new, go ice skating, learn how to play the guitar, go sky diving (a bit extreme), just do something you've never done before, and it doesn't have to be as extreme as the previous examples. if you don't have the opportunity to do something new, just get active, include a bit of fitness in your daily routine, do 20 minutes of exercise in the morning, go jogging, go cycling, do a workout, being active is a great way to boost your happiness!

3. Stop and smell the roses

Not literally. We're so caught up in life, we forget to be grateful for the little things. With so many deadlines to meet and meetings to attend, forgetting about the little things is easy. Just surround yourself with nature. Take a long clam walk in the park, in the forest, on the beach, wherever, and just be grateful for everything you have, instead of being worried about the things you don't, because that is the key to happiness.

4. Give someone a HUG!
Okay you don't really need a reason to hug someone, jus' give 'em a nice big HUG! Surround youself with the people you love and the people who make YOU happy! Talking to your friends is always a good idea, if you need to take your mind off of things. Spend time with them. Go shopping, go out and about, have a marathon of Friends (do you really need a reason for this one?). Spending time with your loved ones is sure to get you happy!

5. Generate some gooooood karma
Go around town doing positive deeds by yourself, or with your friends. Get a bunch of sticky notes and write positive messages on them, "Good luck today", "You are an amazing person", but most people find that by making others happy, they themselves find happiness. If you're feeling generous, why not write the notes on a £1/£5 note? Put these wherever you want, in a newspaper, in a book at the library, literally ANYWHERE! This is one of my favourite steps, so if you wanna, please do it, and contact me and tell me how it went, or comment below!

I hope these 5 tips have been of some help to you! Don't forget to comment below and follow me on blog lovin' right here. 

Luv ya guys!

And may the odds be EVER in your favour!

LUSH Haul

HELLO MY SPARKLERS! Uh huh, that's my thing now... I kinda like it, tell me what you think in the comments.

A few weeks ago, my chummy dragged me into Lush. Now I HATED Lush. So many smells concentrated in one small shop just made me feel sick. I didn't know what all the buzz was about either. I mean £4 for a bath bomb? WHY?! Anyway, after I got used to the smell, I fell in LOVE WITH LUSH! After realising that we couldn't buy the whole shop, my chummy and I spent about 2 hours trying to decide what we products we should get. Here are the ones that I picked up:

Mint Julips lip scrub

Does anybody actually know why it's called Mint Julips?

Mint Julips Lip Scrub

Key Ingredients: Organic Jojoba Oil, Tagetes Oil, Peppermint Oil, Vanilla Extract

Imma say it outright, I'm IN LOVE with this lip scrub. I was a bit hesitant after looking at the price tag, (£5.50), but OH MY GAWD it's sooooooo good! I think I've already eaten about half of the jar. Personally, I think that it's the best lip scrub at the moment. You're supposed to scrub it on your lips to sort of exfoliate your lips and make them fresh. I'd totally recommend it because it's GREAT for dry lips. And even if you don't have chapped lips or anything, it's DELICIOUS so just eat it.

It was supposed to have a flower on it... 

Creamy Candy Bubble Bar

Key Ingredients: Fair Trade Organic Cocoa Butter, Fair Trade Vanilla Absolute, Almond Oil
I'm so excited to use this bubble bar! I actually had no clue what bubble bars are or what they're supposed to do. Basically, you're supposed to crumble a bit of the bubble bar under running water, and it creates TONNES of bubbles and leaves your skin silky smooth. ! It a sweet-smelling bubble bar and smells kinda like candy floss.

Boopity boop bop

Ickle Baby Bot

Key Ingredients: Lavender Oil, Sandalwood Oil, Chamomile blue oil
I actually got this for my 7 year old brother who LOVES bath bombs "cos they fizz and smell nice". Ah, life's so simple when you're seven. AAAAAANYWAYS, the bath bomb looks ADORABLE, my brother actually felt bad about "drowning" the lil robot, but when it came to the actually bath bomb itself, it wasn't that good. My brother and I were very disappointed, it gave off a very very faint lavender scent, but nothing much else. But, I guess you get what you pay for, as the cheapest Lush bath bomb (£1.95).

So purty!

Sex Bomb

Key Ingredients: Jasmine Absolute, Clary Sage Oil, Ylang Ylang Oil

Okay, okay, I'm not gonna lie, the name put me off a lil bit, but oh my GAWD it smells AMAZING!!! I'm not even kidding, it's not too rich or sweet, it's just PERF! It's one of the prettiest bath bombs too, in my opinion, with the pinks and purples and the rice paper rose in the middle. It's got a sweet, floral ish scent, can't wait to try it!

Twilight

Twilight

Key Ingredients: Tonga Absolute, Lavender Oil, Benzoin Resinoid, Ylang Ylang Oil

Okay, this was the first lush bath bomb I ever tried and I've fallen IN LOVE with it! It's got an AMAZING scent! The bath bomb has many layers of pink and blue and turns the water a sort of glittery violet colour, and smells like lavender! Lavender is my favourite scent atm, I just love it! This is an amazing bath bomb so you MUST buy it! 

Sakura

Key Ingredients: Lemon Oil, Jasmine Absolute, Orange Flower Absolute, Mimosa Absolute
Okay I wanted to buy this because it smells sooooooo good. I'm actually really surprised, I hate lemon and citrus scents or flavours, I just hate them, but I could hardly notice them in Sakura. The bath bomb was inspired by Japanese Cherry Blossom or something, I think and it smells so rich. I'm really really bad at describing smells, so I'm not even gonna try, It smells good, it looks good, I can't wait to use it.

That was my  not-so-big Lush haul, I've never EVER bought anything from Lush before. Ever. #lushvirgin? Tell me if any of this helped you in the comments and tell me your favourites and stuff. Don't forget to follow me on bloglovin' here.

May the odds be EVER in your favour.
