NIGHT TIME PAMPER ROUTINE: LUSH PRODUCTS


HEY GUYS! S today's post involves one of my all time OBSESSIONS....LUSH! Over the past couple months it's been safe to say that my Lush obsession has gotten a bit.....out of control! I find their products so fun and interesting to use and learn about. I love that their skin care is gentle and feels soothing on my face rather than tightening and irritating. I have acquired quite the collection over time, lol, in the post you will only see some of my Lush faves! Seen above: 2 Close to You massage bars, Love Locket bath bomb, Space Girl bath bomb, Pink bath bomb, Fizzbanger bath bomb. 

After a long day of work I remove all of my makeup. I recently purchased these Simple Radiance wipes. I loveeee the Simple brand makeup wipes. I usually use the original ones and I think I like those better. They are great for sensitive skin. 

Next I cleanse my face using Lush's Angels On Bare Skin. This might just be my FAVORITE Lush product. It is such a gentle cleanser that gently exfoliates with ground almonds to remove dead skin. It is not overly drying either. 

This is Lush's Serum bar called Full of Grace. It is full of antioxidants and rich hydrating antioxidants. It helps give your skin radiance and even out your complexion. A girl who works at Lush told me that you can use this as a base for your mask to keep your skin from getting dry. 


Catastrophe Cometic is my second favorite mask from Lush. I out it on all of my redness and break outs. I usually Oatafix mask on the rest of my face while using this. Oatafix is my favorite because it smells amazing and is sooo moisturizing on my dry skin, but unfortunately, mine recently expired. 

The best part..bath time! I love having a large bottle of ice cold water to drink while taking a bath. It really helps you cool off in a hot bath. I always light a candle as well. This is a Bath & Body Works candle is just one that I had stocked up and hadn't used and smells like strawberries!

For this bath I am using a piece of one of my Love Locket bath bombs that I had left over from a different one. I am also crumbling a leftover piece of Melting Marshmallow Moment bubble bar and the Pink bath bomb which has little hearts inside. My favorite bath bombs are Sex bomb, Dragon's Egg and Twilight. I also love The Comforter bubble Bar. 

Prettttyyyyyy! It smelled soooo good and sweet!

This is a piece of my Neon Love soap from Lush. Made with fruit juice and yogurt. It's nice and moisturizing and smells fruity! I also love Sexy Peel and Sultana of Soap.

That's a Nikki Phillippi video btw! One of my fave, if not my fave Youtubers!

I laaaaaaav using a lip scrub and this one is the best one that I've tried. It exfoliates your lips, plumps them, moisturizes them and removes dead skin. It also tastes great and it's minty fresh! LOL

DREAM CREAM. IS. AMAZING. It is sooooo moisturizing even on the driest areas. Sometimes I get a little flare up of eczema and putting this stuff on once makes it disappear. It's magical. It is a little pricey but it lasts a longggg time.
I love Lush's massage bars in general. This one, Tender is the Night, smells delicious. They make your skin sooo silky smooth and they make you smell amazing!

And that wraps up my night time pamper routine! As you can see, I love Lush products! I hope you guys enjoyed this post! What is your have Lush product!? Thanks for reading!

MY VALENTINE'S DAY! 2014




Perfumes: I used this really sweet and yummy smelling lotion called You're All Mine from Victoria's Secret. In the middle you will see the Tender is the Night massage bar from Lush. This works like a solid lotion and smells SOOO. GOOD. It is part of their Valentine's Day collection. I layered it with my favored PINK scent which is Fresh and Clean.

Hair: I used this root lifter by Rock Your Hair. Do not let the gorgeous packaging deceive you. I extremely DISLIKE this product. It didn't five me too much of a lift. It just made my hair IMPOSSIBLE to brush or even finger comb through, it actually hurt and later it got really flakey. 
I used my 1/2" wand by Nume to curl my hair and then I brushed through the curls to create relaxed waves. 


And of course my boyfriend is so special <3 He gave me a beautiful silver necklace by Brighton with a sparkly blue pendant that I am absolutely in LOVE with. I know that he put a lot of thought into picking it out and it is just perfect for me!! He also stuck that cute heart garland into my gift and gave me these AMAZING Lind't strawberry cheesecake chocolates & a hello kitty choc. bar!

I have him a really sleek Kenneth Cole watch, some Godiva chocolates & Lush's Charity Pot moisturizer bc he loves that stuff! :)

I hope you guys enjoyed reading! What did you all do for V-day?

PS. FIND OUT WHERE I GOT THE CUTE & INEXPENSIVE SHOES I WORE ON VALENTINE'S DAY IN MY PREVIOUS POST.

CUTE BOOTS FOR A FIFTH OF THE PRICE!?

Hi guys! I hope you all had a lovely Valentine's day and Valentine's day weekend! I am in the process of editing a post about my V-day...and while doing so I found something really sweet to share with you all!

So, me being easily distracted while editing my blog,  I started searching for some cute lace up heels that I saw Steve Madden post on their Instagram a few days ago.

While looking through all of the cute shoes on the Steve Madden website I discovered something really exciting....a pair of boots that are IDENTICAL to a pair that I purchased at Target this past week! (and I wore them on Valentine's Day, so I happened to take pictures of them, LOL) This made me realllllyyyyy happy because I love these shoes. I fell in love with them when I saw them bc they are ADORABLE and I have been searching for some cute black booties with a western flare. BUT I got mine at Target for $27.00 and I swear, I cannot spot a single difference in the ones I saw on Steve Madden for $149.00. SCOREEEE!!! Wanted to share this with you all because if you really like them then you should go grab them from Target...I feel like Target switches out the shoes that they have in stock so fast!!! :0 Love you guys!

2014 VALENTINE'S DAY GIFT GUIDE FOR HIM & HER!


Hi Guys!! It's almost that time of year! Valentine's Day! Personally, I have always loved Valentine's Day. Mostly just because I love girly stuff and my dad has always given me chocolates on that day. LOL. But of course, Valentine's Day is even better when you have someone special to share it with...whether that be a friend, boyfriend or girlfriend! 
I am sure that anyone would be happy recieving chocolates, a giant teddy or an oversized card for v-day but I have came up with some ideas for those of you who want to get your special friend something a little bit more special and unique this Valentine's Day! 

PS. You can find everything that I mention through my links which are from luvocracy.com it is a great site that will help you find the best prices on everything that I've mentioned. I would love if you guys would "Trust" (follow) me on Luvocracy!



1. I believe that I have yet to say this on my blog but... I AM OBSESSED WITH LUSH. I think that gift set is perfect for any girl because it gives her a reason to pamper herself and now she has some lovely smelling products to do it with! Plus, that set is limited edition for Valentine's Day! Also pictured is another Lush v-day product..the Love Locket bath bombs.

6. This simple gold heart-shaped pave necklace from Kate Spade is perfect if you want to give a girl a simple piece of jewelry that she can wear every day as a sign of your love. FIND IT HERE

7. Michael Kors' wallets are the greatest because they are so roomy and will last forever because of their amazing quality. This ones serves as a wallet or a clutch for a night out. It is perfect for Valentine's Day because... it's pink, duh! FIND IT HERE



1. Cologne may seem like a given but it is always a good gift because it is not something that your boyfriend may want to go out and spend money on for himself. I love the smell of this one by YSL. FIND IT HERE

2. Sometimes thinking of something to get for a guy for Valentine's Day can be difficult. For them it seems easier because they can always go for jewelry! Here is a classic bracelet from Swarovski  that is neutral enough for a guy to wear night or day. FIND IT HERE

3. Lush has great stuff for men too! My boyfriend loves this 'Dirty' shower gel that I got him. It is good for sore muscles after working out and is really awakening with the smell of spearmint. The gift of a massage is also very loving and thoughtful for your significant other. Make it extra special by using one of Lush's massage bars! I LOVE the Close To You massage bar from their v-day collection. It smells AMAZING. FIND IT HERE AND HERE

4. I don't think I know anyone that would not want a giant box of Ferrero Rochers. They are too good. Plus, a box of these is a little more masculine than a heart-shaped box of chocolates.  FIND IT HERE

5. This is the Mahogany Teakwood candle from Bath and Body Works. It has a nice masculine scent and I know that my boyfriend loves when I get him these because it makes his room smell fresh and clean! FIND IT HERE

6. This is probably my favorite guy gift that I have shown here. I think that this Michael Kors watch is so sleek and classic...what guy doesn't like a nice watch! FIND IT HERE
