Lush, 'The Godmother' Soap; Review

Last week I did a review of Lush's 'Peace' Massage Bar which you can read here. But this week I thought I'd talk about another purchase from the gorgeous, heavenly place - otherwise known as Lush. This is their soap called 'The Godmother'. It has a very sweet smell and it lingers on the skin afterwards which is just incredible and that's one of the main reasons I love it. It's smell is very similar to pear drops which, as a favourite of mine from many years ago, means that it holds the key to beautiful memories.

I usually am quite fearful of bars of soap and I find them to be quite drying on the skin. This however doesn't dry the skin at all. It cleans and nourishes the skin without using harsh chemicals that often lead to the dehydration of your skin. And finally, with it retailing for around £3.10, it's a complete bargain. Please go out and purchase this - I pinky promise that you will not be disappointed.

Lush, 'The Godmother' Soap

A week of happy #3

1. Catching the train again - it's super simple I know, but I hated catching trains alone for longer than I could remember. But after catching one a few weeks ago I realised it wasn't even that bad. Now I feel confident to catch them whenever I need to without the stress of worrying about it for days in advance. I conquered my fear!

2. Spotify - I used to spend far too much money on iTunes each month, so when I realised it would be cheaper for me to get Spotify Premium I jumped at the chance. To say that I love it is probably the biggest understatement ever. I love that I can have such a vast array of music literally at my fingertips, and make so many of my own playlists for any type of event/mood. 

3. Meeting Adele - kind of anyway... if you saw my post yesterday then you'll know that I went to Madame Tussauds where I got the closest I'll probably ever be to my Queen - ahhh! #sadalert

4. Seeing a show on the West-End - it's something I've always kind of wanted to do, and it was amazing. Wicked is just fabulous and all the cast were insanely incredible. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat and now that I've seen one, I want to see them all (that just reminded of Pokemon - "Catch them all"... don't judge me...).

5. Going on the London Eye - I've done this once before about 11 years ago, although things haven't changed that much it was lovely to experience it again. The weather was perfectly clear and we could see for miles and miles. I would recommend this to anyone going to London who hasn't done it before. 

6. Wagamama's - I've wanted to go here for so long, and now I can finally say that I have - and that I loved it. The food is insanely good, and you get a lot of it! The fruit juice is the best thing too, I'll certainly be returning. We went to the one in Leicester Square, so be sure to go there if you're around that area. 

7. Going to Lush - I've always been a little intimidated by Lush - not that the staff aren't super inviting and lovely, I just tend to feel a bit suffocated. However, when in London I decided to bite the bullet and have a look around. I even ended up buying a few bits and pieces so expect some posts on those coming very soon! But more importantly I've now fought off that fear - yaya! 

8. Compeed Blister patches - seriously, these saved my life. After walking around London my feet were ruined. These helped stop my feet from hurting quite as much. Absolute god-send to give my feet some comfort - heavenly!

9. Clean bed sheets - today I changed my bedding and washed it, I've already made it up and I'm trying to resist the urge to go and relish in its goodness. But, no. I'm going to wait till I'm tired and then relax in the joys of my beautifully clean and lovely smelling sheets. Lets put it this way, I'll not be going to bed late tonight!

10. Reading a lovely romantic book - when I was in London I purchased 'You're the one that I want', by Giovanna Fletcher. I won't talk about it too much because I plan on writing about it as soon as I've finished it - it's a good'un. 

(I know this is a couple of days late, but time has just been escaping me lately) xx 

Lush Massage Bar, 'Peace'

As its name suggests, this really is the most peaceful addition to my night-time routine. It's one of the first things that I've ever bought for Lush and it just grabbed my attention. Its smell is so unique, it's not sweet or sickly or too heavy for an evening. It has hints of shea butter, cocoa butter and olive oil; all scents are so subtle that they just blend in to one which is both soothing and comforting.

I use this after having a shower in the evening. I tend to have a long shower, unwind and get nice a fresh for the next day. With some relaxing music on in the background, a darkened room with a candle flickering away and gently rub this over my skin and let it soak in before putting on a comfy dressing gown and settling down with a good book before heading to the land of nod.

It doesn't create any extra liquid on the skin, or leave a heavy residue. Instead it provides my skin with a soft to the touch feel and with just a little extra care than a normal moisturiser. I'm in love with it, it's perfect for those cooler summer evenings where you have a little extra time to pamper yourself. Retailing at just £6.95 it's a steal. I would highly recommend this and I have a feeling I will be repurchasing it time and time again.
