The Perfect Staycation!

Hi Guys! 

This is a bit of a different blog post and I am super excited to see what you think.

A staycation? You may be asking, it's a word that was used ALOT in 2014! A staycation is a holiday within your own country. (Like a vacation but your not going abroad...just incase your still confused ) There was a lot of talk last year about exploring your own county and saving the environment by having a Staycation rather than jumping on an emissions fueled plane.

I'm not against going abroad at all, in fact I'm quite fond of it however I am trying to be more adventurous and explore the UK more this year too. 

The last weekend of January my boyfriend and I packed our bags and headed for a long weekend by the coast. More specifically, a weekend in the beautiful Bournemouth. 

The multi coloured beach huts all along the seafront. 

We got the train down on the Friday morning, I did take the day off work but hey, it's holiday and I'm entitled to so many days so why not! The train from London Waterloo cost me £30ish return which wasn't too bad at all.

We stayed in a Travelodge right by the seafront which was lovely! I love a great hotel experience as I really have a thing for hotels but I have a massive soft spot for Premier Inn's and Travelodges! They're affordable, great quality and really great for a weekend/long weekend away. We stayed in a large double room and it was lovely!! The bed was super comfy, the bathroom was nicely decorated and clean and the room provided us with everything that we could have possibly needed... Tea and Towels!! 

Whether you work full time or you are in Education book yourself and friends/family/boyfriend or girlfriend or even go on your own!! Just find one weekend this year to go for a long weekend by the coast! Sometimes I think it is exactly what you need, breaks everything up and chills us out!

One of my summer goals this year is to visit as many places in the UK as I can, it's actually a year goal rather than just a summer goal and I think. 

Why don't you try it too? You can even explore somewhere just for the day! When I was younger if the day was meant to be a hot one mum and dad would take us to the Isle of Wight for a day! 

There is so much to see in The UK and I really haven't seen that much of it in the grand scheme of things and I would love to change that! 

I'm going to leave links to the things I needed when booking my Bournemouth staycation and also some of the things we did and I would recommend! 

I am going to try and do a blog post about everywhere I visit in the UK this year, a. Review on the place and what I did! 

Thanks for reading hope you enjoyed this blog post. Any places you think I would enjoy please leave me a comment!

Thanks,

A Lush Review - Unicorn Horn

Hi Guys!

Following on from my last blog post about Lush's Melting Marshmellow Moment Bath Melt (if you haven't already checked it out then please do!) I decided to tell you all about Unicorn Horn today, and I cannot explain how excited I was to use this and how excited I was to blog about it. It is just soooooooooooooo pretty!! 

Unicorn Horn is again from Lush's Valentines collection, I haven't been in since so some of the products unfortunately are a bit backdated that I will be telling you about. 

I really hope that now you understand my excitement! It is the most beautiful bath thing I have ever ever bought! 

Unicorn horn is actually a bubble bar, which means you pull chunks off or just run it under the hot tap and it creates bubbles, so you can get plenty of baths out of it! 

The colours in it are incredible and the colours run all the way through it. This bubble bar is great for if you need something to brighten up your bathroom and if your having a rubbish day it is sure to relax you and brighten up your life too! 

It leaves your skin feeling great and super soft which is lovely, and it turns your bath a beautiful pinky colour leaving behind trails of sparkles. 

The smell is not super strong again which I like but it smell is an acquired scent I think. It's a mix of Lavender and something very very sweet but somehow it works and I can't get enough of it. 

Although this was only part of our Valentines Collection here in the UK it was launched in Japan about a year ago do hopefully it comes back next year or just for a different occasion which would be ideal. 

Overall rating for this lush product is a definate 5/5. I cannot explain to you how much I love this beautiful bubble bar!

Thanks for reading. 

Any lush recommendations for me? I'd love to hear them!! 

Love
