I mean lets be honest there's just so much stuff to try.
I recently hauled a few things from Lush, so as usual I'd like to review them.
Today we're going to be talking about Big Blue.
Big Blue is one of their bath bombs from their permeant range. It is meant to evoke summer time and the seaside, as it contains sea salt & seaweed. It's scent is perfect beachiness, which I think is really nice & refreshing.
The combination of seaweed & sea salt makes for really exfoliating yet softening on the skin.
It also contains oils which act to clear the mind, cleanse & as an antiseptic. So if you're feeling a little stressed & are having some skin issues this bath bomb is the one for you. I actually keep getting bitten at the moment, due to the weather & the antiseptic in this bath bomb has soothed them lovely!
The only thing I don't like is removing the seaweed from the bath. It does tend to get stuck in the plughole, so be prepared to get it out with your hands (not so relaxing).
I've been wanting to try some different haircare for a while now & I luckily got these with a Superdrug order. Win!
These are the Toni & Guy Cleanse & Nourish Shampoo & Conditioner.
I usually stick to 'colour protection' ranges with haircare, however I'd love to find something new!
I have used Toni & Guy shampoos & conditioners before and loved them so that's already a good place to start.
So firstly the shampoo smells quite nice, but a little like an aftershave & the conditioner smells a little like baby powder. Which I'm not a big fan of, however once out of the shower the two smells are pretty nice together.
The shampoo is one that you have to work a little bit to get it to lather & move around the hair. I also feel like it cleanses the hair quite a lot. In the sense of it leaves your hair feeling a little stripped after you've washed out the shampoo. I think it also helped remove a bit of my colour build up.
You then use the nourishing conditioner to add any lost moisture into the hair. The conditioner is a little easier to work through your hair & is super nourishing. I really understand the relationship between the two products, they work great together!
After using both of these my hair feels really soft, with a little less colour build up. I also noticed that it's not as frizzy too, which I love as I do struggle with frizz at the roots!
Another great thing is that it doesn't make my hair greasy either, some shampoo's make my hair greasy after only a day. This one however I managed to go three days before washing again.
I never used to be a tea drinker but when a doctor recommended herbal teas, I thought what the heck!
And you know what, I really like them.
I prefer having hot drinks before bed so herbal teas are a great choice as they're caffeine free.
They are also good for you!
Below are some of my favourite teas:
I generally get my tea from Tea Pigs, because I know what like from them.
My favourite teas by them are the Super Fruit, Lemon & Ginger & Sweet Ginger.
The Super Fruit tea is great for if you're feeling run down or I like it for when I'm feeling congested. It can have quite a strong taste which freshens you up. The ingredients are berries & hibiscus flower. Which leads me to think if you served this cold with ice it would taste pretty similar to Starbucks' Berry Hibiscus Refresher!
The Lemon & Ginger is a bit more tame on the other hand. It's nice and light making a very refreshing combination! I think this would also be great served with ice in the summer! I have also read that lemon is great for the immune system and your skin.
The Sweet Ginger is perfect for those with a sweet teeth. It would make a great dessert replacement if you're trying to cut back. Ginger is another ingredient which is great for your immune system. This tea is another one which is ideal for if you're congested as ginger can help open up your airways.
Tea Pigs do have other flavours available on their website, so it's definitely worth taking a look to see what you fancy. They also do sample packs which include two tea bags, so you don't end up wasting your money on tea you might not like!
