learning to relax

I've been not so pleasantly surprised by the overwhelming increase in workload in this first term of the new year. I've found a decreasing amount of spare time and an increasing amount of desperation for time spent in solitude.
I feel like I've finally relaxed into a good little routine of how to fulfil this desire.
I always plan ahead for when I will have my relaxing day and make sure I have any homework done early so I don't have to think about it while I'm meant to be relaxing
As soon as I get home, I put any school materials out of sight, so they can't remind me of any remaining school-related stress.
I grab the latest issue of Vogue, or my current favourite book and head strait to the bathroom to run myself a relaxing bath. I always try to have some pampering products handy for my relaxing day. On this occasion I had a really nice coffee scrub from Ishka and a leftover christmas bathbomb from Lush.
I spend as long as I possibly can soaking in the tub and make sure whenever my mind drifts to school, I suppress those thoughts completely.
I always feel so rejuvenated and reenergised after these pamper sessions, and it has reenforced in me the importance of taking time for myself, no matter how busy and stressed I might be.

LUSH : Titsy Totsy, Dragon's Egg and Twilight

Ahoy Sailors,

My name is Meghan, and I am a Lush addict.

Over the past two weeks, I have made countless trips into Lush. 

I have been loving their bath bombs, and probably have had a bath every single day these holidays.

I thought it would be a good idea to show you a few of the bath bombs I have had, share some pictures, and give my opinions on them.

so here goes...

Titsy Totsy Bath Bomb

Unlike most Lush Bath bombs, this rose scented beauty doesn't provide much colour to your bath. Despite this, Titsy Totsy is one of my favourite bath bombs. The rose smell it very fresh and clean smelling, and reminded me of turkish delight. This is one bath bomb I would 100% recommend.

Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb

The Dragon's Egg bath bomb was a nice colourful surprise.

Despite it's colourless exterior, as it fizzed it revealed a sparkling golden centre. 

 It had a very sweet, lemongrass scent that was very refreshing.

My only issue with this bath bomb was cleaning it up. The bath bomb had confetti in it that suck to the bath.

III.

Twilight Bath Bomb

This was one of the most relaxing bath bombs I have had. The prominent lavender scent almost put me to sleep. I personally wasn't ecstatic about the end colour of the bath, a rather dull lavender colour, but in general I enjoyed this bath bomb.

So there you have it. Some of the bath bombs I have had recently.

I purchased a few more lush products recently so if you would like to see another post like this, please let me know.

Ahoy Sailors,

While I was in the spectacular city of bath, I took some photos of all the gorgeous historical sights and thought I would share a few. I honestly fell in love with bath. The architecture of the city is absolutely gorgeous. We visited roman baths and went to the fashion museum, which of course, I loved. I honestly think bath is one of the most beautiful cities i have visited.
