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!
Coconut oil is a staple item that everyone should have in their cupboard. Why?
Well it's just so damn useful!
You can use it for a ridiculous amount of thing from hair treatments to cooking ingredients!
So I'm going to share some of its uses with you below.
Oil Pulling - Teeth Whitening
I haven't really looked into this use much as I already have a teeth whitening method that works for me (Doll White Strips). However there are a lot of company marketing/ selling this method.
Hair Mask/ Oil
You can either use this as a overall hair mask or as a hair oil. I personally prefer to use it as an oil. I use it sometimes to add some moisture to the ends of my hair. As I have long hair the ends can get pretty dry so sometimes they need some added moisture from an oil, coconut oil is perfect for this. Plus it smells great.
Facial Oil
Again another I don't tend to use, but a lot of people swear by coconut oil as a facial oil. Use it overnight to add moisture to the face & to reduce oil production in the daytime. Some even use it as a cleansing oil to remove make up.
Cuticle Oil
This is what I mean by a multipurpose product, basically you can use this as an oil anywhere on the body really. A lot of people like to use it on their cuticles as part of a manicure.
On Pets/ Animals
Whether it's a dog, horse or whatever pet you may have you should have some coconut oil lying around just in case. I know last year this was an essential for my horse as he had a lot of dry scabby skin on his fetlocks (ankles) & it was the only thing that made it better. If your animal is suffering with any flaky/ scabby/ dry skin issues apple some coconut oil to the area a few times, you will see a difference.
Cooking
A lot of healthy recipes these days use coconut oil in them. It can be using in baking for flavour & in cooking to add your diet. Using it to grease a pan can help add to your good fat for the day. It can be very helpful if you're very strict with your diet or counting your macros.
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!
With everything I do, I like to tie in all of my interests.
If you guys didn't know, I have a horse & having been horse riding for many years.
This also seems to be a topic I haven't seen many blogs cover!
So onto the product I want to talk about...
Coconut oil!
Coconut oil is a holy grail in general for a lot of people, I don't use it much for myself. My horse however...
My horse has very pink skin (he's an Appaloosa colour, so it's a mixture of black & pink) and this means the minute the ground dries out he gets scabby skin. Specifically on his fetlocks, which is not ideal. What can make this worse is if the horse over reaches too, which my horse does sometimes.
I didn't really know what to use on them, as a lot of products we've used in the past haven't worked that well. Some of the products we have been recommended & used in the past have also had a lot of strong chemicals in them, which I don't like the idea of much.
So I decided to go all natural & try coconut oil!
It is amazing stuff!
It's completely got rid of any scabs on his first fetlocks & reduced them significantly on his back fetlocks. We still apply it daily to keep the fetlocks moist & prevent new scabs forming, but it seems to be working at keeping them at bay.
He also has been suffering with some mild sweet itch and the coconut oil has eased that too!
He's pretty much stopped scratching both his tail & mane.
