Bath Essentials

I'm back posting again, and I'm going to share with you my bath essentials. Baths are such a great way to relieve stress, relax, maybe read a book and I always feel so refreshed after one!

The fist thing I do when I run the bath is get into a dressing gown. The dressing gown I have is a plain white one from Penneys (Primark) that I haven't had very long.
The next thing I do is wash my face. I'm using this LancĂ´me cleanser, which is very gentle and great for your skin. It's not a very deep cleanse, but it does the job!
  I love Lush products, and the Karma bubble bar is no exception. It smells warm and fruity, and gives the best bubbles and colour to my bath. It's really relaxing, and I might just have to repurchase it!
I light Yankee Candle's Fluffy Towels, which is my favourite of their candles, as smells fresh, clean and crisp.
While in the bath, I used the Boots extracts Brazil Nut Body Wash, which I absolutely love! It smells so delicious and the smell lasts after you wash, which is a huge bonus.
After the bath, I like to use this Argan Oil Body Lotion, as it leaves my skin feeling super soft.

While the body lotion dries, it's nice to use a face mask, and the Soap&Glory No Clogs Allowed mask is brilliant for getting rid of black heads and clearing pores. This is a self heating mask, which feels so nice and you can really know that your face has had a good cleanse after using it! 
Next I brush out my hair with this orange Tangle Teezer that I'm in love with for my tangled hair, and apply some of the Percy & Reed Wonder Balm, which helps make your hair silky and smooth.

Then, finally, my favourite part - nails! I filed my nails, used a Lush Charity Pot sample and painted my nails with Rimmel's Professional Finish in Celebrity Bash. What I love about this nail polish is its brush, which is rounded at the top for an easy and sleek application.

Thank you so much for reading my bath essentials, hope you enjoyed!

Where I've Been/Life Update

   Soo, it's been a while...

 Sorry that I haven't posted in about five weeks, but I have a very good excuse (trust me). The laptop that I usually blog on has broken, and it's taken longer than it should have to get set up with blogging on mobile. I do, though, have some interesting life updates!

  On the week of the 11th of August, I attended Westend Stage, a summer stage school in Central London, held in Guildhall. Musical theatre is my biggest passion in life, so getting to go to something like this for a week was the most incredible experience I could have asked for!
  I stayed in the school's accommodation, and was in a flat with four other girls, Imi, Kat, Corina and Megan.
  On Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday we had classes; drama, dance, singing and a masterclass. Our masterclasses included working with Jo Hawes, leading child casting director in London, Rob Houchen, currently playing Marius in Les Mis, and Wendy Ferguson, playing Madame Thenardier in Les Mis. On Wednesday we went to see Les Mis in the Queen's Theatre, and it was absolutely stunning. If you're in London and want to see a show, I strongly suggest you see it.
  On the Friday night, there was a cabaret competition between all of the flats. Our flat teamed up with a flat of five guys to perform 'Les Mis in 120 Seconds' and we ended up winning!  A video of our performance can be found here. These guys are all so talented and it was great getting to perform with them and become such good friends.
  On the Saturday we were in Covent Garden, and had a disco that night, as it was our last night in the accommodation. On Sunday we got to Her Majesty's Theatre early in the morning for our showcase that night.
  Her Majesty's is home to Phantom of the Opera, my favourite musical, so I was kind of freaking out when we saw some of the costumes and set backstage! The showcase went really well, and then it was time to say goodbye and back to reality. I have to say it was the best week of my life, and the friends I made and lessons I learned I'll carry with me forever, as cheesy as it sounds!
 
   I'm now back to school and things are getting busy with studying for Junior Cert and all of that, but I have some blog posts that I can't wait to put up (if I can get it working properly, that is) so I'll be posting again soon!
                                    Thanks for reading,
