Hey guys, so I recently ordered several things from Pretty Suds for both myself and my mum (we share products). In-case you guys didn't know I am a representative for Pretty Suds in my local area (distributing products locally without delivery charge) - This does NOT mean I get things free, I still pay just like the rest! So what did I get?;



Mr Snowman (Burner) - £8.95 each
Since we are in the festive season my mum desperately wanted to get her hands on this beauty. It's the perfect wax burner for Christmas, so first off you place the tealight at the bottom (there is a gap at the back to slide it in) OR you can easily just slide the snowman's hat off and place inside that way. (Awesome I know!) Then you add the wax melt inside the hat at the top. Having the hat being removable it makes life x10's easier to clean as your not worrying about knocking the entire burner.

Candyland (Bath Bomb) - £3.95 each
First off, I'm in love with this bath bomb because of the colour (pink right?) plus its a rather large size product compared to any you get regularly off Lush etc... (Well I personally think there is a difference in size) As for the scent, WOW! It's so sugary, sweet and soft vanilla like mixed with strawberries so tasty.

Space Cowboy (Bath Bomb) - £3.45 each
This is something very different to what Pretty Suds normally offer, purely because of the design right? It's an large, circular space ship style product with lots of different bright colours (perfect for kids or if your a product lover like myself). When it fizzed away in the bath it left the water a nice soft pinky colour, however I felt like the scent could of improved it seemed as though it wasn't very strong.

Magic Egg (Bath Bomb) - £4.95 each
I put off buying this product for so long because of the expensive price tag it comes with, although its a perfect purchase as a one off luxury bath or to give as a gift. It comes wrapped beautiful with a big red bow on top! You can pick which Pokemon character you wish to have inside (I choose Pikachu of course), the shell of the bath bomb was very unique and different its main colour was white but had a speckle of different light colours of blue, green, pink etc... Plus the size of this product is HUGE, a lot bigger than a regular bath bomb, it took awhile to fizz away in the water orginaly starting to give a milky cream colour to ending up fizzing out a bright pink and blue the closer to the center. The water ended up being a soft voilet (super cute and different to anything I've ever seen before), and the smell was so strong and sweet plus you get a free small toy!

Clean The Air (SOY Wax Melt Bar) - £1.95 each
You get 12 squares on this bar, I usually burn about two chunks a go and the scent lasts several hours. As for the smell of these, I originally expected a fresh, soft 'clean' scent to follow on the name but instead this is much more food like with a hint of orange and spice.

Duvet Day (Little Beanies) - £2.95 each
I was unsure what to expect when ordering these, I originally thought the scent would be very fresh, clean cotton like. But when they arrived I felt like they was very different, very sweet and reminded me a lot of the millions sweets you can buy at a candy store. The tub itself isn't overly huge, but you get a very decent amount of beanies inside - when I first tried them out I burnt three at once, it was way strong and powerful and honestly I think I could of gotten away with melting just two! I honestly love the idea of the little beanies, you get a lot for your money and once the scent starts to die down just add an extra one to re-lift the smell.

Overall, I'm in love with the purchases with my favorite being the Mr Snowman, Candyland and Little Beanies. If yous haven't already be sure to give my Facebook page a like where I represent Pretty Suds (click here).

I recently went on a small New Look splurge purchasing a few things I thought would be great for times like now, and for the winter season which is fast approaching us. Plus I just wanted to find an excuse to do a bit of online shopping right?!



Black Heels - Size 6 (UK)
So the first thing that was the main reason why I wanted to purchase was for these black suede heels, they zip up the back and are stretchy crossed lace like patterned on the front. When I got these I was slightly overwhelmed with how high they was, something I wasn't anticipating if I do say so! I would estimate them to be a good 5 or 6 inch heel height, and when I put them on I feel as though the backs of them push my feet forward more making it difficult to walk in... However I refuse to give up on these beauties and will be practicing to walk around the house in them during the next few weeks. 





Baby Pink Ribbed Body Suit
I recently purchased a baby pink ribbed jumper from Lipsy, but it's cropped and honestly I get rather insecure when wearing a crop top.. I just hate showing skin! (I'm not fat or embarrassed just not a fan of it). I bought a size 10 thinking about the length of this as I'm tall but was worried it might not fit as I've never worn one of these before... It fitted perfect! It's slightly loose around the waist area but in length it's perfect, the shoulders are more 'off the shoulder' style but there is one major problem with this. At the bottom of this it has a button like shutting, I assume to make it easier to go the bathroom when wearing the product right? But WOW! It's majorly uncomfortable to wear with a pair of jeans over the top, I'm not sure if I will wear this or use it because you feel the plastic dig straight into your leg as you walk! Note to myself - buy one without this feature next time.



Batwing High Neck Tan Jumper
I purchased this thinking it would be great for the fall season, high neck because I love that style, but a lightweight knit material for the cooler days... I ordered a size medium (thinking let it be slightly loose and baggy) but WOW! It's huge.... Originally I was going to send this back but just decided to keep it now, I do regret not buying a size small, because honestly I would say this jumper could easily fit a size 12-14 whereas I'm more of a size 8-10. But I've just tucked the jumper into my jeans and sort-of make do with it... 



Knitted High Neck Vest Jumper
This jumper was something different to what I've seen before, the vest top like sleeveless armed was just something which intrigued me... Again I went for a size medium thinking let it be loose and over-sized as during the winter times I prefer a loose baggy jumper to snuggle up into, but my bad! The medium must be around a size 12-14 because it's just huge, I doubt I will be wearing this unless I wash it and try to shrink it in size... A bonus is the material is very soft and cuddle-like. 


Hey guys! Just a quick post today about February's issue of Glamour Magazine, which this month I feel is more 'fall' themed than winter which will still are in. One thing a lot of people look for is freebies right?! Well this month there isn't all that many, in fact whats included is; Channel sample, Tresemme sample & a graze coupon (which are always included in the Glamour magazines in case you never knew!). Now personally, I love the samples included as you can usually use them for 2 days... But I always struggle when it comes to foundation or BB colors as I'm so porcelain pale skinned...



One thing I did love about this months magazine was it included a lot of jewelry and wearable products throughout... Which I loved to read and mark down which I would wear, or want! Plus there was a big feature page on sportswear which I thought was pretty clever as most people will still have a 'New Years Resolution' to keep fit! Plus the coloring flowed great with the 'Winter' season and just made it so eye catching.



Thank you for reading (sorry it was short guys I've been busy with assignments!) x
So the December months magazine arrived and I was super excited! First off because the beautiful Tanya Burr is on the front cover, but secondly because I got a super cute and perfect Clinqiue lipstick! AND it has Christmas stories / fashion, everything perfect for this season!


One thing I did notice in this months magazine was there where a lot of lipsticks advertised throughout the magazine, some super cute warm winter thick jumpers for the fashion & style pages. Plus a freebie sample of Angel which is by far a favorite of mine before even getting this magazine!





Hey guys! So two weeks ago QVC (UK) had some amazing offers over on there Yankee Candle Show, I couldn't help but resist purchasing some new candles to add to the collection!
I found this amazing set of three Large Jars for £43.50 (They usually retail for £20 each!!!) The first candle which i'm very common with is;


  1. Home Sweet Home Large Jar - This is a favorite of mine, it has a hint of cinnamon with spices blended it. It almost reminds me of the outdoors, fresh forest which is overgrown with oak wood and trees. It is just perfect and makes me exited for Christmas with it's winter feel!
  2. Cinnamon Stick Large Jar - This candle has an extremely strong scent of cinnamon burst out, it is 100% very winter like reminding me of sitting in warm blankets with a cup of hot coco!
  3. Fireside Treats Large Jar - I have never experienced this candle before, and was very exicted to try it out! When it arrived the first scent I got was super super sweet and candy like, reminding me instantly of the scent you get when you open a bag of marshmallows! I can honestly say I have fallen in love with this candle, it is my 2nd favorite (First being Vanilla Cupcake) I just love the sweet scent!
Overall, I'm super happy with this offer QVC had for us! It is still avalible on there site, let me know what your favorite Yankee Candle is? :-)

Yankee - "White Garden"

This candle again, was purchased off QVC's website for the spring collection as part of the mothers day gift set. This candle is a white color and smells very Winter like, gives me a feel of Christmas, it a very icy smell. The scent is strong and can be noticed very easily!
