LUSH Halloween/Christmas haul

When Lush had its Creative Showcase, I looked at every possible instagram/facebook feed I could find. Pining, yearning, wishing...
And then, it happened. They announced that the Halloween and Christmas range would be ONLINE in a few seconds. So, naturally as any sane person would do, I went online and filled up my basket. Of course B made me delete more than half, because I may get a little crazy when it comes to Lush...
BUT I RECEIVED THE BEST PACKAGE EVER TODAY.

So here it is people, my first blog post about LUSH, and it is a haul people.

It took every ounce of self control not to rip this package to pieces


First off: I love how Lush packages everything so carefully. Thanks Lydia, for making sure this one got to me safely.
Are you ready for this? Because I sure was.

Beauty in a box


So here's what's in the box:
  • Black Rose Lipstick
  • Ectoplasm Jelly Bomb
  • Golden Wonder Bath Bomb
  • Golden Wonder-Giant Bath Bomb
  • Snow Fairy Jelly Bomb
  • Christmas Sweater Bath Bomb
  • Snow Fairy Sparkle Jar
  • Twilight Sparkle Jar
  • Twilight Shower Gel
  • Lord of Misrule Bath Bomb
  • Shoot for the Stars Bath Bomb
  • Once Upon a Time Body Lotion


Okay so really there is a TON to be excited about. But I picked out my favorites and most anticipated ones for me to talk about a little.

Twilight Shower Gel

I am a huge fan of the Sleepy/Twilight scent. For years I have had trouble sleeping, but putting Sleepy Body Lotion on me at night works like a charm. So naturally, I have been eyeing Twilight Shower Gel for way too long. It showing up in the list of Christmas range products made my entire week. Of course I bought this lavender smelling necessity. 

Once Upon a Time Body Lotion

Smelling like sweet apples and feel a little like Snow White? Yes, please!
Once Upon a Time has been on my list for a long time. The hype has lived up to its name for sure. Better make sure to stock up on this one, because I need this in my life permanently!

Golden Wonder-Giant Bath Bomb

The Golden Wonder-Giant Bath Bomb. Why wouldn't you be excited? This bath bomb is 3 times the size as a normal Golden Wonder! It is absolutely massive and absolutely amazing. This bath bomb will only end up in a bath when it is a very special occasion, because a present like this will not be wasted. 

Look at my box, my box, my box

Okay so there is plenty of stuff I feel like I need to tell everyone about. The black lipstick that changes colors, the sparkle jars that puff out stardust, the jelly bath bombs and the return of golden oldies. But maybe that'll be for the next time.

Bath time has not been this anticipated in a long time.

A small list

I have been thinking a lot lately about what I want this blog to be or become. Obviously it is going to be a very personal one. 
So here's a small list of everything I want to write about:
  • The many adventures and stories with B.
  • Every day life and struggles, thoughts and ramblings.
  • LUSH.
  • Cooking/baking
  • Attempts at hobbies (painting, handlettering,...)
  • Adventures with friends/family
  • Dreams/hopes/wishes
Lets just say I'm done with being insecure. I am still discovering who I am and where I'm going. And that's totally okay.

A year goes by so fast...




A year ago I said 'Yes, please!' to my wonderful husband. 365 days of absolute bliss.
And here is what I have learned:


  • When two people love each other unconditionally, nothing can keep them apart (or no one).
  • Dishes are very difficult to do every day. Or any day.
  • Put two people with ADHD together in one house and it is a complete mess. 
  • You can work out anything if you not only listen, but try and understand each other.
  • You can find an annoyance in every flaw. But you learn to fall in love with every single one of them.
  • Dad jokes occur not only in dads. 
  • Dreaming about dogs together might just turn out into a full blown obsession.
  • Saving up money is hard when you want all the stuff.
  • As much as I want to slap him, he makes me laugh two seconds after.
  • My husband is the funniest man in the world. (I'll deny I wrote this forever)
  • Waking up to the person you love most, is the best feeling in the world.
  • We fight. With everyone else, but never with each other. 
  • Sharing is caring. 
  • My husband is the biggest goofball I know.
  • Giving up is not an option.
  • Sharing your deepest and darkest secrets, is nothing to be scared of. 
  • Unconditional love is incomprehensible and wonderful.
  • Trust is key.
  • Apparently there is someone more clingy and PDA-wanting than me.
  • Aparently I like (love) the whole clingy/PDA thing.
  • We do it together. Whatever it is. Together.
  • Being the big spoon is not that bad.
  • I still have dishes to do.
  • I really don't like doing dishes.

There are so many things I have learned about living with the love of my life. But mostly, I can't stop looking at this man and be grateful. I may never figure out how someone this compassionate and loving exists, but I'll forever be grateful.

Sweetheart, ma bebie, you saved my soul. Never stop having wild adventures with me. 
I love you.
