The Cowbiscuits Christmas Speech

This time of year is so busy, so much to do, so many people to see, so many days spent in bed all day hungover -  it's chaos! I'm back home in Devon now, then back in Wales on Boxing day.

So I've decided not to force any posting and rather let them come to me until after this busy period just so I can chill my brain out which feels a little frazzled around this festive time and have a proper relaxxx. 

I just want to say a massive thankyou to everyone and anyone who reads my little blog, I know I'm just a tiny fish in such a massive pond these days but I do this for me as my own little scrapbook and for no other reason. 

Thankyou to everyone who has supported me this year, checked out my Youtube and commenting on my posts - it means so much!

Wether you celebrate Christmas or not this time of year is always a weird one that seems to last forever so I hope you enjoy any time off you have, any time you get to spend with loved ones and any treats you may get (also the food - ohhh the food!). 

Be safe and have fun!

LUSH Father Christmas Bath Bomb

Hello!

'Tis the season and all that so here is a little review of LUSH's ultimate festive bath bomb - Father Christmas*!

At first glance this bath bomb doesn't look exciting or anything special, little Santas face looks like he's been stuck in the snow for a while and knackered from making all those toys, but once it's in the bath theres an awesome festive treat:

It's Bright Greeen!!

The novelty of coloured baths does not wear thin on me one bit so as soon as I dropped him in the hot water and he started fizzing out green I was so excited for my neon bath!

Not only does it suprise you with the cool colour change it also have tons of bubbles too which most bath bombs don't produce - maybe it's his wicked beard?

The smell is basically Snow Fairy which is the most popular LUSH product ever, people literally buy tons of bottles in the 3 months it's around for. I usually wait until the Boxing Day sale and grab a small bottle for myself. I love the scent, it's sickly and it's sweet but it does grate on me after a while as I prefer deeper scents. But for this bath bomb the scent was like a lighter cotton candy version of Snow Fairy and was actually not that overpowering.

I also used my Miss Patisserie soap bar*, their website is all new and fancy now so I couldn't see it on there but I'm pretty sure it's a lavender based one and they have a lavender soap which is similar online now.

Have you tried any of the festive LUSH range yet?

Christmas 2014 with John Lewis.

I've been sitting on this post for weeks!

I was invited back along in mid-October to come before the John Lewis Cardiff store was even open for trading to be one of the first to check out their Christmas 2014 range.

Armed with a cup of tea I was shown one-on-one by one of the management team around the Christmas department about all the different 'themes' for 2014. There was the popular 'Croft' which is subtle, frosted with hints of green; 'Festive Friends' which is perfect for families with little ones; and my personal fave - 'Copenhagen' which is very Scandi and simple.

Obviously John Lewis have just released their Christmas Advert which is always the biggest talk over on Twitter. As we were walking around looking at the new plush toys that had come in etc me and my tour guide for the morning were placing our bets on the advert star being THIS little sausage dog with a scarf. We were all wrong and it was of course those penguins!

What do you think of JL's Christmas 2014?

Hope you have a good weekend planned, Ross is away allll weekend so I'm spending my weekend laying on the sofa, watching Netflix and eating junk food!
