CROWN AND GLORY GLITTERATI, OCTOBER BOX

This month's Crown and Glory Glitterati box was definitely a good one. Although I was sad that it wasn't Halloween themed, the fact that this box was so lovely made up for it! If you like constellations, stars and black glitter then this is the box for you!

FIRST POP! VINYL FIGURE - DANCING GROOT BOBBLEHEAD

One of these things is not like the others ... it's the first Pop! Vinyl figure in my collection! I've been eyeing up Pop! figures for a while, and the temptation to start a collection has been immense (especially since I sell them at work!), so I was thrilled to receive this little chappie.

LOOT CRATE UNBOXING, SEPTEMBER'S 'SUMMON' BOX

Yes, I was once again lured in by Loot Crate! Sepetmber's theme was Summon, and featured items from Pokemon, Supernatural, Blizzard, and Kid Robot. Seeing as I am a big Pokemon fan, and both me and my boyfriend love Supernatural, I thought this was a good theme to go for - and I wasn't disappointed! 

WHITTARD'S ALICE IN WONDERLAND TEA CHEST

Ok, so this posts combines two things that I love - tea and Alice in Wonderland. What could be more perfect? Last month I bought this quaint little tea chest from Whittard, and now that I've had a good chance to thoroughly test it (read as: drinking copious amounts of tea) I thought I would share my thoughts. So here's my review of Whittard's Alice in Wonderland Tea Chest!

LUSH KITCHEN LIMITED EDITION SCENTS

 

Over the past few weeks, Lush Kitchen ran a little scent versus scent competition - pitting old favourites against new releases - and the winners were made into limited edition perfumes sold exclusively in the Lush Kitchen. I got up early specifically to order my favourites, and I'm glad I did as these babies sold out fast! They will be releasing another batch some time in the future, so don't worry if you missed out! Until then, here's what I ordered.  

100 BOOKS IN A YEAR CHALLENGE

I've seen a lot of people online mentioning this challenge - to read 100 books in a year - in their bucket lists. The more I hear about it, the more I want to do it. I love reading, but sometimes books can just get forgotten about, and before I know it I've gone a few weeks without reading anything for pleasure. I'm hoping that this challenge will make me remember this hobby and to get back into reading more regularly. 

LUSH HALLOWEEN HAUL | A STOPMOTION FILM

Every holiday, Lush brings out a limited edition range of products, and every year, the one I look forward to most is their Halloween range! This year, I thought I would celebrate their Halloween range release by making a cute little stopmotion film showing you what I got. Enjoy!

GUILTY PLEASURES | SPOOKY SOCKS

Today I'm coming at you with a quick light-hearted - and Halloween related - post! As Halloween draws near, more and more themed products come into stores, which is freaking fantastic. It means that people like myself, who basically want spooky themed items all year round, take this time to stock up on everything. Including socks. Yes, that's right, Halloween socks. 

COLLECTIVE HALLOWEEN HAUL & MINI VLOG

Here is my first Halloween post of the year - as well as my first foray into vlogging, ever! Join me on my Halloween shopping, and see what spooky themed things I got in my haul. Are you guys as excited for Halloween as I am? I've been buying things like crazy, and now my house is decorated with bats, snakes and moons - perfect!

YOU BEAUTY DISCOVERY BOX, SEPTEMBER & OCTOBER

September's You Beauty Discovery box arrived a bit late for me due to a delivery fail. I'm not sure what happened to the little parcel (maybe one of the other people in our building took a fancy to it? Maybe it was put in a 'safe place' and got taken out with the rubbish? Who knows!) but the lovely people at YBD were kind enough to send me another box, no questions asked, when I emailed to say it hadn't arrived weeks after being dispatched. But this late arrival meant that I got both September and October's boxes around the same time. So So here is what I picked for the last two months' You Beauty Discovery boxes.

OXFORD STREET BIRTHDAY LUSH HAUL

Last month my partner and I took a trip to London to celebrate my birthday, and the main goal of the day was to visit the Oxford Street Lush store. I'd heard tales of this gigantic Lush store with exclusive products and I had to visit it! I chose five things for my birthday, and then treated myself to a perfume too. Here's everything that I got!

BRAND SPOTLIGHT | OUR TINY BEES

Ok guys, today I would like to talk about a brand I've only recently found out about (but have fallen in love with!) - Our Tiny Bees. Not only are their skincare and candles natural, they use honey and beeswax which supports British bees and beekeepers. If you've been with me for a while, you will know that I love bees, so this is the perfect brand for me. Keep on reading to see what Our Tiny Bees products I have, and what I think of them.

MONTH IN REVIEW & UPDATES

Firstly, I must apologise for being a bit absent online over the last month. A lot of things have been going on in my personal, professional and academic lives and it's just been a bit hectic to be honest. So I thought I'd just have a little chat with you guys, and let you know what's been going on, and what I'm planning for the future.
