REVIEW: Soap & Glory's Glam-A-Lot Frangrant Body Spray




Soap & Glory has always been a favourite of mine. The smell is so recognisable and unique.
This is my favourite ever product...like, ever.
The description of the smell is "Fresh flowers, layered on a Woody, Vanilla Musk base".
Whenever I wear it I've been complimented on how nice I smell and what it is I'm wearing, so it must be doing something right! The smell is long lasting also, so if I put it on first thing in the morning, you'd still be able to smell it 3-4 hours later, which means this beauty lasts ages!
The packaging is really cute too. I love the style of Soap and Glory. How they use black & white images gives it a vintage feel.
The bottle is a kind of dark lilac colour, with a grey base (which you can see in the photos). It's 250ml, and I bought it from Boots for £6.50!! It is however, one of those products that I would be prepared to spend a lot of money on, only because I know I'd get my money's worth out of it!

Do you like Soap & Glory products? Which one is your favourite?

ღ Yankee Love..

I am such a nerd when it comes to Candles. I have so many tea lights and candles in my house, I love them so much! I know I'm not the first to rave about Yankee Candles, and definitely won't be the last, but they are so strong in scent and look so elegant and beautiful.
For Christmas I got a set of samples in scents such as Fresh Cut Flowers & Lilac Blossoms. I have so many Cinnamon candles lit around Christmas so it's a nice change to have some lovely spring scents.
I also got a Pink Sands melt and oh my god, that is now my favourite ever. It is such an amazing powerful scent, the whole of my upstairs smells gorgeous.
I wasn't really sure what to make this post about really, but I thought I'd make it in to a kind of wish list of my must-haves and ones I would love to own.

ღ J'aime Décor

As an aspiring Interior Designer, I'm constantly looking at buildings and houses and imagining the inside. My dream is to design my own house. Even what the building itself looks like, and then creating my dream inside. I love simplicity. I love nudes and off white colours, I just can't wait to be able to express myself in that way.
I thought I'd share some of my favourite photos that inspire me, and maybe give you some inspiration also if it's something you're interested in.

ღ Youtubers


It's safe to say, I spend a lot of time on Youtube. 
I love watching so many people, I always wait for CTFxC to upload everyday, it's like something I NEED to do before I go to sleep! 
I think the main reason I enjoy watching videos is because you learn new things everyday and you get to watch videos that you have a massive interest in, for example make up tutorials or gaming videos. I love, in a way, escaping to another place and not having to worry about any problems I have, even if it's just for a couple of minutes. I feel so many different emotions just in one video, or in one vlog. Sometimes you can relate so much to a person or their situation, and there's something comforting when people sometimes classed as "Internet Celebrities" are just "normal people" and have normal people's problems.
Here are just a few Youtuber's I absolutely love!

ღ Exercise Regime

This morning I started my new exercise regime. I find it really difficult to get motivated, and I've tried and tried to stick to something but it's never worked.
Over Christmas I wasn't at work for just over two weeks and I really saw the weight pile on. After a few days back at work I thought, enough is enough, I'm going to sort myself out. 
So I better get cracking with what I'm going to be doing!
I find it really hard to get up in mornings, so I decided to put my phone at the other end of the room. When my alarm goes off I have to get up! I've got an exercise bike so I put that in my bedroom right next to the alarm. I got up at 6am and did half an hour on the bike, then 100 crunches, 100 side crunches and 20 squats. I felt so much better after I did it, I'm definitely going to be continuing with this every day. I was a lot happier at work and when I got home I did some weights.
I've got a target weight and measurements and I've given myself a year to achieve it so here's to trying!
