Halloween Lush Haul :)

Halloween Lush Haul :)

As many of you will know I am obsessed with Lush and over the past few years have started to get into the Halloween spirit so as soon as September rolls around I get very excited for the new Lush Halloween collection and this year they definitely didn’t disappoint! I have so many bath bombs stocked up but I always need to buy the entire Halloween collection as soon as it comes out ❤

Ghostie Bath Bomb- This is one of the classic bath bombs that I absolutely LOVE from lush 🙂 It has a gorgeous citrus scent and develops some lovely colours due to the small pops of colour in the middle of the bath bomb 🙂

Punkin Pumpkin Bath Bomb- This is a classic bath bomb which has gone through many iterations throughout the year and I love how it has ended up 🙂 It has a fantastic cinnamon and orangey lime fragrance 🙂

Screamo Bubble Bar- I love a bubble bar and this one looks so so cool! I believe this is a new one this year and I love it 🙂 It has some really cool colours and makes the bath a gorgeous magenta 🙂

Alien Bubble Bar- I believe this is another new bubble bar for this year and I absolutely LOVE the look of this one 🙂 I have yet to actually use it but I’m very very excited it 🙂

Bat Art Bath Bomb- This is a bath bomb that has been around for a few years and I absolutely love it- it smells amazing and has such a cool colour although my mum definitely hates it because it stains the bath!

Bubble Bubble Toil and Trouble Bubble Bar- I don’t remember ever seeing this bar before but it looks really cute and apparently slightly glows in the dark when it has been crumbled in the bath which if true is so cool!!

This one isn’t Lush but I wanted to add a special mention at the end of this post for the Vanilla Pumpkin Bath Bomb from The Body Shop 🙂

Let me know in the comments which of the Halloween Lush Products is ur favourite 🙂

Decorating for Halloween 2021 :)

My family always makes fun of me because I am such a big Halloween fan who decorates their room with pumpkins and watches non-scary Halloween movies throughout September and October and drinks Pumpkin Spice Lattes as soon as I can 🙂 Since last year I feel like I have stepped up my Halloween decorating- I have added some more Harry Potter bits, some more Nightmare Before Christmas bits, lots of candles and some more other bits as well 🙂 I haven’t actually bought that much stuff for Halloween this year as I already had quite a few bits already and am trying to save some money but I did get a few little bits 🙂

Let me know in the comments how you decorate for Halloween 🙂

Pumpkin Carving :)

Pumpkin Carving :)

Every year since I was little I have carved a pumpkin for Halloween 🙂 When I was younger I used to carve pumpkins with my older brothers and then I started doing it alone and then last year my friend Barghavi came round for a Halloween themed weekend and we carved pumpkins and watched Halloween movies and then did sparklers as well 🙂 The last few years I have been carving Disney themed pumpkins which has been so much fun! I have carved Jack the Pumpkin King, Sally, The Oogie Boogie Man and Zero all from The nightmare before Christmas 🙂 This year I’m planning to carve Stitch into my pumpkin 🙂

Let me know in the comments what pumpkin designs you have carved ❤

6 Halloween themed movies I’ll be watching this year :)

6 Halloween themed movies I’ll be watching this year :)

I have become such a lover of Halloween over the last few years and one of the main things that I love to do is watching Halloween themed movies 🙂 I wrote a blog post a few years ago about some of my favourite Halloween movies that are my must watches during the spooky season but this year I have added a few more to the list 🙂 Some of them are actual Halloween movies and some have a great Halloween scene or have a definite spooky vibe/great villain 🙂 I hate Horror movies so all of the Halloween movies I have picked in both of the lists I don’t think are too scary 🙂

  1. Halloweentown- I watched Halloweentown many many years ago but haven’t watched it since but I came across it on Disney + the other day and it triggered a long forgotten memory so I have been wanting to watch it ever since 🙂 Screenshot 2020-10-21 at 16.20.28
  2. Beetlejuice- I have actually never seen Beetlejuice the film however I have listened to the soundtrack of the musical and I absolutely love it so thought I would finally watch the movie 🙂 img_9200
  3. Coco- Coco takes place on The Day of the Dead which this year is the 2nd of November and is a Mexican celebration where people gather to pray for and remember the people in their lives who have passed away but just be warned this movie will definitely make you cry!! Screenshot 2020-10-21 at 16.21.19
  4. The Haunted Mansion- This is another film on this list that I have never seen but I have heard so many people talk about and I had no idea that Madame Leota was from this film! I found it on Disney + the other day in their Halloween collection and I am actually really excited to finally watch it 🙂 Screenshot 2020-10-21 at 16.20.58
  5. Mean Girls- I realise that this definitely isn’t a Halloween movie however it does have some of the best quotes about Halloween and one of my favourite Halloween scenes with Cady dressed as an ex wife which is truly iconic! Screenshot 2020-10-21 at 16.28.47
  6. Harry Potter- I always love watching the Harry Potter series around this time of year as especially the first few films have such a cosy vibe to me and I absolutely love the scene of the great hall covered in Pumpkins for the Halloween feast 🙂

Let me know in the comments what your favourite movies are to watch at Halloween 🙂

Kew Gardens 2020 :)

Kew Gardens 2020 :)

On the 10th of October Hannah and I headed to Kew Gardens which was so epic! We took so many amazing photos, walked over 20,000 steps and I absolutely loved it 🙂 It was great for during this time because most of the things are outside and they had some autumnal trees and the greenhouses were really warm which was nice as it is starting to get colder 🙂 You had to wear masks inside the greenhouses and when ordering your food but apart from that everything else was outside and we were able to just walk around and take photos 🙂 I like that it was organised into different countries which made it really cool and I took three different jumpers so that I could get some different photos 🙂 I think my favourite parts were: the greenhouses, the autumnal trees and the Queens garden 🙂

Thank you so much Hannah for keeping me company and taking the photos 🙂 Be sure to check out Hannahs blog here 🙂

Let me know in the comments which of these photos are your favourites and which jumper was your favourite 🙂

Belgravia and Kensington 2020 :)

Belgravia and Kensington 2020 :)

On the 28th of September I met Hannah at Victoria for a lovely photoshoot day in Belgravia and Kensington 🙂 I managed to get a few Autumnal photos which was really nice and a few photos to finish off the summer vibe 🙂 We took a change of clothes so we could take a few more photos in the one day and stopped off at Elan Cafe to change and have some lunch which was so nice 🙂 We started of at Victoria and walked along towards Peggy Porshen through Belgravia and found a few spots to take some photos 🙂

After our photoshoot in Belgravia we walked along towards Elan Cafe near to Kensington. I love Elan Cafe as it is so photogenic and pink! The food was really good as well 🙂 I have been to Elan Cafe once before but I went to the one near Oxford Street last time so it had a different vibe to this one- this one had a sweet theme which I loved wheras the one I went to in Oxford street had a more flowery vibe 🙂

After Lunch we then headed towards Kensington where Hannah had picked out a few different places to take photos and I was so excited as I had bought this dress from Primark a while ago and I had been looking for an opportunity to take photos in it as I had an idea of taking a Folklore inspired photo in this dress as it really gave me that vibe 🙂

It was such a nice day and I had so much fun thank you so much Hannah for keeping me company and for taking the photos 🙂 Be sure to check out Hannahs blog here 🙂

Let me know in the comments whether you prefer my dress or the Harry Potter jumper and Jeans 🙂 and where your favourite place is to take Autumnal photos 🙂
