I have done a few videos/ posts like this in the past & had a great response to them.
I know I am only covering the more simple things that you learn as an equestrian, however some of these things are very useful to know.
Today we're talking about how to lunge a horse.
Lunging is a great way to help with training & exercising a horse. If a rider is unable to ride they might be able to lunge instead. If your horse has a lot energy & you'd rather not get on straight away it's a good way to get some excess energy out. If your horse is young or lacking balance. Honestly there are SO many reasons to lunge a horse!
There are also different types of equipment you can lunge a horse in. You can simply use tack with a lunge line, or add side reins or a pessoa (which is what you can see Jem in here).
So there are a few key things when it comes to lunging. I would say that one is to try not to let your lunge line get too slack, it's best to keep some tension on there. This will reduce the likelihood of the horse turning or falling the circle into you. Another key thing is the same shape you want to create whilst lunging. What I mean by this is between you the horse & the lunge line (possibly a lunge whip too), you want to create a triangle shape. Preferably more of a right angle triangle, so you are positioned towards the backend of your horse.
Another key thing is confidence. You need to lunge with a confident & encouraging attitude to get the best our of your horse.
I normally tend to stick to the info when it comes to these Lush blog posts, however I just can't with this one. This is their Milky Bath Bubble Bar & you know what I think it's one of my new favourites.
If you love a clean crisp bath experience, you will love this. It has a lovely clean scent & produces pure white bubbles. Very pretty!
It is also really quite moisturising without covering you in glitter.
Last but not least, it's time to take a look at Lush's Sparkly Pumpkin bubble bar.
This one is a good old classic of Lush's Halloween range, however I have to say they do seem smaller this year.
I couldn't find any info on this one however judging by the smell this very similar to the pumpkin bath bomb, as it is quite spicy too!
So quick update, having used this bubble bar - it was beautiful! It wasn't too glittery & the scent is gorgeous! I'm really disappointed I won't be able to get hold of it until next year!
I know Halloween has been & gone, but it doesn't have to be that way!
We all know that whenever there is a holiday is a Lush aftermath that follows.
So prepare for some more Lush reviews.
Today we're going to be talking about Lush's Pumpkin bath bomb. I believe this is a return item, so it did appear in last years collection.
Lush say this is a vanilla & spicy cinnamon bath bomb which is sweet & comforting. Think baking cinnamon bread! That's this bath bomb. Personally I really loved this bath bomb!
I know I'll definitely be picking some up next year.
As usual Lush have you covered on this one, with their Yoga Bath Bomb.
This one is actually a repurchase for me because I enjoyed it so much the first time I used it.
I will warn you now this bath bomb does have some glitter in it, so if you're not of a fan of that it might not be for you. However it's scent is pure bliss & relaxation. I'm not really sure what it is about this bath bomb but it really is relaxing, creating calm & peace whilst you bathe.
So if you're in serious need of some chilled you time, this is a bath bomb I would definitely recommend!
That's right, I have another Lush demo & review for you.
What can I say, I'm just in love with the stuff at the moment.
So the product we're reviewing today is their Dragon's Egg Bath Bomb.
So this bath bomb is meant to be very citrusy making it refreshing & invigorating.
It is also meant to change you bath water to a beautiful golden colour, hidden inside the egg.
I will say the citrus scent of this bath bomb is right up my street, I love scents like that. It really does refresh you & perk you up a bit. I also love the little colourful bursts it gives off whilst fizzing away.
However the only problem I had with this bath bomb is it didn't completely dissolve, so I was left with a big lump floating round my bath.
I mean let's face it we all love watching Lush demos, there's something oddly satisfying about them!
So today we're looking a bath bomb, which is from Lush's Christmas range.
I haven't heard anything about this bath bomb, I hadn't even seen it before.
So this one was a total surprise to me.
It's the Star Dust bath bomb.
It's description reads: Soak in starlit waters bearing exotic gifts of Fair Trade vanilla & precious Peruvian rosewood.
So although this this bath bomb seems a little dull, it's anything but! It fizzes revealing a light pale blue colour. It also reveals an array of colourful tiny stars, which is super cute.
Over time these little stars dissolve making for a super moisturising bath.
Due to it's size I imagine this probably one of their cheaper bath bombs available & I'd say definitely give it a try next winter!
This time we are talking about The Lord of Misrule bath bomb.
This bath bomb is another one from their Christmas collection, however the scent isn't this Christmas so I see no reason why you couldn't use this at any time in the year.
It's description reads: Revel in the bath with this wine-coloured, mystically-scented soak.
Firstly I love the scent of this bath bomb, I really couldn't describe it to you but trust me it's amazing!
After using this bath bomb I think this is my new favourite!
It fizzes away to reveal a deep purple/ pink colour, creating a really comforting & relaxing feeling for your bath water. The scent becomes a little less intense in the air, but leaves you smelling gorgeous all day & the next.
It isn't a glittery bath bomb, which is nice as some can be a little too glittery.
It's also really moisturising on your skin. I wasn't expecting that from it at all, so it was a nice little surprise. It makes your skin really soft & helps moisturise any nasty body acne you have.
Overall, love love love it! It creates the perfect bathing experience!
I know Christmas is well & truly over, but we all have some Christmas Lush stuff leftover.
So I figured it was still worth doing a little review of the some their products.
Especially if it's likely they're going to be back next year.
The one we're talking about today is the Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar.
This a reusable Bubble Bar, which comes on a stick. A lot like the Snow Fairy one!
However this one is very different from snow fairy in so many ways!
Firstly the stick is much better & can hold the weight on the product much better, in fact it's actually a cinnamon stick. Which is brilliant idea if you ask me, it also looks super cute too.
So how you use this is you simply whirl it around in your bath water & it creates cinnamon scented bubbles. It is also meant as a multi-use bubble bar!
So onto my thoughts.
I like this concept & I like the smell of cinnamon a lot. The reusable aspect of it is great too, as it makes it much better value for money. The only thing I will say is this product is a little glittery. This doesn't bother me, but if you hate glitter you'll not be a big fan.
The only other thing I will say is the bar tends to break down by the stick quite quickly, which can lead to it falling over so just be aware of that when using it.
Overall though I'm enjoying using this bubble bar & still am! I just wish the scent was a bit stronger!
