A trip to LUSH :)

I know I know, everybody seems to be on a complete Lush binge at the moment, but really who can blame us!? As it starts to get colder and the nights begin to get darker, there seems nothing better than thinking of long, hot, lovely smelling baths! ... Well ...seeing as I have a 10 month old, the chances of the long part for me are doubtful, but 2 out of 3 isn't bad, and il take it!!

So we took a trip to Lush last week, and I managed to sneak myself two little treats..YAY!

I think I seriously could spend hours in there just reading things and smelling everything... but as we didn't have all day, I stuck to the section where I knew I wanted to pick up some bits!

I went for Candy Mountain bubble bar and my all time favourite, The Comforter. Both are bubble bars which you crumble under running water, to create lovely pink, insanely bubbly baths!! They both smell gorgeous and girly! Very sweet smelling.

 

I have used The Comforter for years now, and I always go back for it, because it smells so good! it gives so many bubbles with just the tiniest piece! You get quite a big piece for your money, and even now I still can’t believe how long it lasts! You get a lovely pink, sweet smelling bath and you can feel how soft the bubbles are when you’re in the bath! Super pink and girly! perfect for a girly pamper night!! 

 

I also went for Candy Mountain as I’ve heard lots of good things about it, and it smells similar to The Comforter, so I was immediately sold! I have yet to try it, but I already can’t wait!

 

Also the great thing about buying Lush products is that when you have them in your bathroom, they just make the whole room smell INCREDIBLE!! Like I needed any other excuse to go back for more! ;)

Baby Hawk Mei Tai Carrier *review*

As it is international baby wearing week, I thought now would be a good time for a review of my favourite carrier!

After struggling to find a carrier that suited me, I stumbled across the baby hawk carrier after seeing another mama on instagram using one.

I loved that it had fully adjustable straps as I'm very petite I always struggled to find one that comfortably fit my frame and made carrying my daughter a pleasure rather than a struggle! Not to mention all the different colours and patterns to chose from!

As soon as I received my carrier, I tried it out around the house to get a feel for it, and gain confidence in putting it on and getting my daughter in and out of it. We first tried the front carry and I was amazed at how comfortable and light she felt!! The straps supported in all the right places and I instantly knew I was going to love this carrier!! We then went on and tried the back carry, My daughter loved this also and she sat quite comfortably in this position also :)

Now I've had my baby hawk mei tai carrier for around 3 months, and I have waited until now to review it as I wanted to use it and try it out so I could give my honest opinion on it!

Honest opinion?

I LOVE it!!

I used it when we travelled abroad in August and it was a life saver! I almost felt smug watching others around the airport struggling to hold their kids, luggage and paper work, while I was hands free and not to mention stress free! I had previously travelled on a plane when my daughter was 5 months old and it really was a struggle! I had another sling carrier but I wasn't confident using it and I didn't feel it gave the support I needed, I don't think I even used it at all on the holiday! But the baby hawk was different! As we had travelled to Italy this time for our holiday we took walks up steep mountain villages and the carrier again was a life saver!

Plus as a side note.. As my daughter is now 10 months old and into everything, I can't leave her for a moment, so this morning I actually applied my make-up with her in the back carry position.. we sang row row row the boat.. which made doing my eyebrows difficult but so worth it every time i saw her face in the mirror behind me! (high five for wonky brows!)

I just cannot rate it enough! I would deffinately recommend this carrier for smaller ladies, if you are struggling to find one that gives a good fit and good support. For ref I am 5ft tall and size 4-6.

Where did I buy it? I got mine from a lovely site called www.sasaslings.co.uk
I spoke to a lovely lady over Facebook before I ordered and I was lucky enough that the colour I had wanted was on promotion!!

Anyone else in love with this carrier?
What is your favourite carrier?

I'd love to know! :)
