Lush Christmas Haul

You've probably seen my recent Halloween Lush haul, and know how much I love the launches at this time of year. I can never resist the festive products - they're always some of my favourites. Once I dipped my toe into the Halloween products, I knew I'd also need some Christmassy ones too.

Grace and Honey Candles

I love watching Becca's YouTube channel and learning about the different books she's read and loved.  I'm also a huge fan of candles, especially since moving into our flat, so when I saw Becca made her own candles, with a bookish theme, I knew I'd have to order at some point. And now with the winter weather finally closing in, a candle haul was 100% necessary, and I wanted to share which candles I picked up with you!

Day of the Dead Feasting | Wahaca | Gifted

I've always been a fan of Mexican food and have enjoyed eating at Wahaca in the past. Despite already visiting the restaurant, however, I didn't really know much about the chain, except that it was co-founded by MasterChef winner Thomasina Miers. Last week, I was invited along to their Día de Muertos celebrations, to learn a little more about Wahaca as a brand, the food they offer and the culture they celebrate*. Safe to say that after a round of margaritas and plate upon plate of delicious food, I was in love with Wahaca.

End of Year TBR

I'm not usually one to create a to-be-read (TBR) list, as I have a habit of picking anything but the books I intended to. However, with the end of the year fast approaching (I mean, where did the summer go), I've decided to make a list of some of the books I have on my shelves that I want to read before 2020 hits. I'm still going to leave room for mood reading, but here are five titles that I'd love to get to this year.

Vanilla Pumpkin Range | The Body Shop

This is my favourite time of year - the Pumpkin Spice Lattes are back at Starbucks, the cosy candles are out and the Vanilla Pumpkin range is back at The Body Shop. There aren't many collections that I look forward to year after year, but this is one of them. I'm sure I will stock up over the course of the season, but I thought I'd share the three items from the range, which I picked up recently.
