Review // Lush Valentine's Collection 2016

Yeah, I know. Valentine's was 5 weeks ago. It's taken me a while to work my way through my Lush stash, alright? At least this review will be helpful for any products that return next year or pop up in the Kitchen.

Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway // My Experience

We've already established that I bloody love Ant & Dec. Saturday Night Takeaway has been one of my favourite TV shows for years. I don't care if that's unrefined. In fact, I'm pretty certain I cried tears of joy when it returned in 2013. For the past three years, every week that it's been on, I've applied for tickets. I even put it in my 101 in 1001 goals, but my attempts were fruitless. Well today I'm here to tell you that dreams do come true. Finally- FINALLY- I found myself to be seated in the Saturday Night Takeaway audience.

*Long post ahead. I have a lot of feelings so don't expect me to be concise*

I loved Amber's skincare confessions because honestly? I'm terrible with skincare too. I'm trying to get better. I just kind of... forget. Kat's jumper dress is crazy and I love it! Everyone should read Terri's boob scan experience. Check yourselves!  Ness's post on reading more for less is full of great tips for finding books on a budget.

#ScentMemories with The Library of Fragrance

March 21st marks National Fragrance Day, and Scent Memories are encouraging people to share their scent stories using the hashtag #ScentMemories. To mark National Fragrance Day and the Scent Memories campaign, The Library of Fragrance asked me to share my own memories with some of their fragrances. 

I know people say scent is the most powerful memory trigger, and I definitely experience this a lot. Just recently, I was walking down a road in London and suddenly became aware of a really strong scent emanating from one of the buildings. I still have no idea what the smell was, or how my past is linked to it, but suddenly I was 16 years old again, wearing my bootleg My Chemical Romance t-shirt, walking down a very specific part of my Sixth Form corridor to reach the art shop. I couldn't believe how specific and vivid my memory was, and all triggered from this one waft of a mystery scent!
Because of this, I knew the Scent Memories initiative would be really fun to get involved with, and I've chosen some really special memories to share with you today. They all have a particular theme in common, so it will be easy to tell where the happiest times of my childhood were spent!

Top 10 books of all time

Recently I realised that I've never written a post on my favourite books. I've written about my favourite endings, my favourite books of 2015 and even my favourite books about death. Way back in 2012, I wrote about the five books that shaped me, but they're not quite the same as my favourite books. So here it is: My top ten books of all time. 

Fundraising with Team Honk and Wayfair

Running is not my forte, as you may have worked out for yourself. There is precisely one time a year when I run, and that is when I crack out the PE lesson on long-distance running. Of course, all the 8 year olds floor a lap of the school field in about 10 seconds flat but I'm, well, not so good. There comes a time every two years where I challenge myself even further: The Sport Relief Mile.

The only photo I even have of me running is this old-school snap from 2012
