Good Day Lovelies!
Today I have a beautiful little treat to start the week. It's one of those sticky days, where you feel all tired with sticky eyes. As I'm definitely in need of a pick me up to refresh myself, I thought lets try this little H&M Dead Sea Mineral Mask. I had it lying around and as I read it's meant to give a radiant complexion to tired skin, I thought this was perfect! The mask is made from natural seaweed and rock salt. so it's pretty fresh!
Once applied it's a white coloured mask with a greenish tinge. It feels quite cool when first applied and then you can feel it tighten. I have quite a little face, so I only need about half the packet. So for a price of 99p, this mask is even better when you can get 2 uses from it!
After leaving this mask on for 10-15 minutes whilst having a little relaxing time at the same time, I washed it off.
And the verdict?
My skin actually feels clearer and more glowy. My skin feels fresh and free of dirt and impurities that however hard you try when cleansing you just can't get rid of. Once again I am really impressed by the H&M masks. They are incredible value and actually work. My other favourite is their coconut water mask, so if you get a chance definitely test them out.
Have you tried any H&M masks before?

Good Morning Beauties!
I hope you've got a tip top Sunday ahead of you today! As it's so chilly outside, I thought I'd share with you some things which are keeping me lovely and toasty, cosy and in tip top condition to tackle the winter weather.
Nothing beats burning a beautiful candle and relaxing in just pure candlelight bliss. The White Company Winter candle is one of those perfect candles to achieve this! The smell of this candle with its cinnamon, cloves and orange aromas just screams Christmas every time! It's a lovely change from Yankee and Jo Malone candles. The packaging is so simple and elegant, that it creates such a cosy winter feeling when placed any where.
In this weather my hands take a battering and definitely need some in depth TLC! I've been using this Josie Maran Whipped Argan oil intensive hand cream. I'm currently obsessed with everything from Josie Maran and so I'm loving using this hand cream. The fact that it's vanilla scented is an added bonus for me. The hand cream itself is quite silky and smooth. It's not greasy at all and works a treat. I wouldn't say it's the most intensive one out there but it does work its magic!
Lastly I'm all about slipper socks! Socks are literally one of my favourite things for feeling all warm and cosy. I recently found some gorgeous cream slipper socks from Crabtree and Evelyn and they're the softest, fluffiest and cosiest socks in the world. Putting these on is something you would imagine in slipper sock heaven!
What are your perfect tips for staying cosy in winter?

Good Morning Beauties!
Today is definitely one of those frosty and cold days but instead of the usual grey clouds, the sun is shining and the blue skies are peeping through! I love this winter combination, it just feels so fresh and crisp outside. Now all that would make it truly festive is if there were a little robin hopping about.
However because the temperature has dropped, I thought I would share with you something which can be enjoyed whatever the weather!
Festive popcorn! Now I thought this was a nice little treat to spice up the weekend, and it's incredibly easy to make and eye catching at the same time.
So here's three flavours, which would make cute little extra gifts for people or a nice little xmas movie marathon accompaniment!
1. White chocolate and cranberry popcorn
2. Salted caramel
3. Chocolate orange and marshmallow
They're so easy to make and to be honest I don't really follow recipes, I just guess and pour. But for each of these flavoured popcorns, you start by popping your corn in a saucepan of a little oil.
Once popped, you can do whatever you want.
Drown it in melted white chocolate,
Melt butter + sugar to form some kind of caramel,
Add essences, decorataions, sprinkles, glitter, crunches, chocolate drizzle, dried fruits, nuts! The possibilities are endless.
If you would like me to put together some kind of recipe for any of the flavours, just let me know, but to be honest you can make any flavour popcorn in the world! It's so quick and easy because once made you can just put it onto a baking tray and pop in the fridge for about 10-20minutes. And then voila it's done!
Have you made any flavoured popcorns before?

Good Morning Lovelies!
I hope you all have a lovely friday ahead of you and a fab weekend planned.
As I've been feeling pretty poorly lately I thought what better medicine is there than a little treat from Jo Malone!
As I can never resist temptation, something which I've been after for a while may have found itself in this very special treat place.
It's a beautiful Jo Malone cologne in the scent Wood Sage and Sea Salt. This scent is pretty much described as sea air and salty spray. Considering I love the sea, beaches and scents which are fresh and slightly woody, this one is perfect. It's like the English coast in a bottle.
I do have a collection of Jo Malone colognes but I have to admit that this one is probably my new favourite. It smells incredible, it's not too overpowering, it's fresh and woody and the salty scent makes it too addictive not to spray again! It lasts a long time and wears really nicely on the skin. I kind of have that feeling that I've found my perfect scent! This scent will definitely be used all year round and will 100% become a staple in my cologne collection.
Now I'm just lusting over the other products in the Wood Sage and Sea Salt collection!
Have you tried this cologne/have a favourite Jo Malone cologne?
