Life's little pick-me-ups...

08:13 Unknown 12 Comments

Hi everyone! So, it's safe to say, this week has been completely rubbish for me and my flatmates. One thing after the other seems to have happened and we're all well and truly tired, fed up and feeling very sorry for ourselves! So today, on a quick trip into town we popped into The Body Shop for some lovely little treats, we were all in need of a bit of cheering up. I must admit, The Body Shop isn't somewhere that I go to very often, I have no idea why because I absolutely love the products! The Body Butters have always been a favourite of mine, I remember my mum having various ones when I was growing up and certain ones evoke lovely memories...I remember us buying the pink grapefruit one on our way to Paris on holiday so as soon as I smelt that today I just wanted to go back!

Pink Grapefruit Lip Butter  /  Satsuma Hand Cleanse Gel  /  Pink Grapefruit Hand Cleanse Gel  / Satsuma Body Butter

Anyways, I picked up some of their satsuma body butter...it smells divine, i'm literally sat here sniffing myself... thats a bit worrying, but it smells SO nice! I got the matching hand gel...you can never have too many, these ones smell gorgeous, so much nicer than some of the overly alcohol smelling ones that are around...hence why I also got the grapefruit... I can't help myself! The last thing I picked up was the pink grapefruit lip butter, it makes your lips super soft and smells incredible (the smell thing is becoming a bit of a theme here!) I now smell a bit like a fruit salad but i'm in my comfy clothes with tasty new Twinings fruit tea and the Sylvia Plath book my dad had sent up to me, feeling very glad this week is over! I hope yours have been good!

    Ah, nothing like a good old splurge at The Body Shop! I love the body butters, the mango and papaya one sends me right back to when I was about ten - love how scents can bring back such happy memories! Hope this next week is happier for you :)

    I definitely need to have a look in there much more often! I do it all the time, like certain perfumes will remind me of certain places! xx

    I do love Body Shop, I was in there today but i've spent so much lately so I decided against buying anything. I love the little heart tin gifts they do and the make up is the best too, I swear by it!

    That is so cute that bought beauty/ relaxing this for you and your flatmates! Also loving the new eco-friendly bags Body shop have now.

    Ha, I am the same if I get new products that are scented. I am like "what is that great smell, oh it's me, that's good!", you just look weird if you are caught smelling your arms or something..

      Ha! Thats so true, I must have looked like a total lunatic just sat here sniffing my arm! It's the only place that do lovely fruit scented products that don't smell artificial, it's so lovely!
      And totally agree about the bags, although we did all feel as though we were carrying little lunch bags around because of the lack of handle!
