LUSH Review: Blackberry Bomb

It's been a while since I've done a Lush review, so here goes!
------------------------------------------------------------------
As the title suggests, I will be reviewing Lush's (probably) most favoured bath bomb, Blackberry Bomb. It's iconic 'BOMB' text and purple colouring definitely strikes me as a a good'en, also, IT'S ABSOLUTELY MASSIVE.

LUSH Blackberry Bomb Bath Bomb


The bomb fizzes amazingly, not being too quick if you're a person who likes a long fizz, but if you don't like it to be too long then it's not! It's my personal favourite, that being one of the reasons.

It turns the water a beautiful lilac colour (picture above) and it's very relaxing if you've had a stressful day, as the colour lilac is meant to soothe the mind. I have a very un-sensitive nose so for most bath bombs I can never smell the scent as much as I can when the bath bomb is in a whole, but with this one I really can smell it, which was a great moment for me!

Overall, I absolutely love this bath bomb! The smell, the colour, the fizziness and especially the little bonus of the note that says "Boom boom!" which I love to find, it's my favourite thing about Lush bath bombs. 

Retail Price: £2.95 - Which is AMAZING for this bomb.

Best pair it with: Sunnyside Bubble Bar

I've tried to keep this post short and sweet, but if you prefer the longer ones let me know!

I made rainbow cake!

My friend Eleanor is a huge baker, and I've always wanted to make a rainbow cake.. So that's what we did!

I warn you now.. We did not make the typical rainbow cake as we realised last minute that we had no ovenproof glass.. So we made rainbow cake/souffles!

To follow the recipe we used, go to: http://sortedfood.com/#!/search/double%20rainbow%20cake/

If you're wondering why it's not one big cake.. We didn't have the resources for that.  And if you can't see, we used the Wilton Food Colouring for the colour!

I hope you use this recipe, and if you do, comment down below!

14 Year Old's POV: Futures and careers

So, I have just recently moved into my third year of Academy (Or, high school as some may call it), and it's the first year I've gotten to actually choose my own subjects. It is compulsory to take core subject such as English, Maths, RE (Religious Education) and PE. I think that's it. When we were just going through the process of choosing our subjects we were also getting help in lessons from our guidance teachers on knowing which subjects were for what career. It was all good, the websites we went on helped a lot, but I had a dilemna. I have no idea what I want to do.

When you have complete choice over anything you could do, you suddenly feel very pressured. I had to pick a career that would provide me with money to live off of but I also had to pick a career I enjoyed. Again, this should be easy, but it still wasn't. The careers I would like to do are very hard to get into such as acting and media. I would love to be an actress, or be a professional youtuber. In all honesty, I'd also love to have my own radio show, or chat show! But soooo many people have these exact dreams and goals as me, making it so difficult.

I was just getting so stressed and I had no idea what to do. I would just stare at this sheet of paper with subject choices with my pencil in hand at the ready. The way the system worked was, there were four columns: Sciences, Expressive Arts, Social Subjects and Technical (Design & Manufacture, Computing, things like that). Those were quite easy considering I had to take one of them. And after that I would choose 3 more subjects in addition to those, and 2 reserves in case any of my chosen classes were full. It took me a while, because I would choose a career I wanted, and then the next I would like a different career. All I want to do right now is something in media. That world just seems so attractive to me! I'm a very open person, I'm also very attention-seeking when it comes to it so I doubt privacy would be an issue for me, unless they were trespassing into my house, that's a completely different issue. I'm outgoing so I would love to be interviewed and going on chat shows. It's not even the glamour part that's attractive to me, it's just the fact that people will see me doing what I love. That sounded so cheesy.

Making decisions this early in life is such a task, but my advice to anyone who is, or will be going through this decision is: Go for what you love. If you love science, go down the science route! Take every science you can and do your very best. Set yourself a goal, and don't stop until you achieve that goal.

I love you!

The best thing for your skin: Coconut Oil

It's been so long since I posted! But I think this post will make everything better!

------------------------------------

The massive 460g tub!

So, I discovered Coconut Oil on Lady Smart's blog I knew I had to try it. I will admit, it took me a while because for some reason I procrastinated. But since getting coconut oil I will never look back! It's absolutely fantastic and I will not lie when ordering it I was hesitant. I ordered from the brand 'Coconoil' and got it in a whopping 460g tub. I have linked the website but I just got some from Amazon. The oil starts off wax-like when it's cool, but it melts at the touch of heat.

I use it on my face and my hair, but I haven't used it for cooking just yet, but Lady Smart talks about using it in cooking as well!

For my skin:

This is my 'half a teaspoon' of the oil before it has melted.

I put coconut oil on my skin every night after doing my night time routine of cleansing my face (A full list of the products I use will be listed below) and then I just get around half a tea spoon of the wax-y oil. A take it off the spoon then rub it into the palms of my hands until it has completely turned to liquid.

I usually don't use my moisturiser when I apply coconut oil unless my skin is breaking out because it is so nourishing and soft to the skin. The oil helps to fade scarring and also really helps brighten the eyes! I have a lot of scaring on my forehead from previous spots that I have picked at and within a week of putting it on every night the scars have completely faded.

For my hair:

Coconut oil is great for the hair! It softens it, boosts it so it looks more 'alive' and also helps your hair to grow faster. Every Friday night I have a what-I-call pamper night where I add in a face mask to my skin care routine, I wash my make up brushes and now coconut oil has been added! I don't wash my hair before adding the oil in as I will be washing my hair the next morning (But I'll get back to that). I bend over allowing all of my hair to hang down and take just a bit more than I usually would for my skin, but you really don't need that much as when it melts you end up with a lot of it! Once it has all fully melted, I rub it into the roots of my hair and then slowly bring my hands down. If I need any more then I just pick some up and melt it again! 

Now, the reason I do it in the evening is because it is an over night treatment (Also, when it's in your hair, your hair looks soooo greasy)! I put a towel over my pillow as it can stain and just sleep with my hair loose. In the morning I just pop in the shower and do my usual hair routine using the same shampoo and conditioner that I always do!

My skin care products are: Neutrogena Pink Grapefruit Facial Scrub (Right)/Wash (Left)
