Spring is on its way!

Need proof? I took these photos yesterday in the countryside and it made me excited for the approach of spring.

More proof that spring is on its way... Lush have just announced their Mother's Day products so I'm going to give you a tour around the range!

First up we have similar ballistics to last year but in different scents. If you didn't see the Lush Mother's Day range last year, they are flower shaped ballistics on sticks.. very cute. So this year we have Avobath, Space Girl and Vanilla Fountain and they cost £3.60 each for 110g.

Avobath is the ballistic to choose for waking up in a morning in my opinion! It's full of zesty lemongrass and mashed up avocados which soften the skin. It's lovely to have this as an option because many mums don't like girly, flowery or sweet things (e.g. mine!).

Space girl is much more girly ballistic! It smells like love hearts in my opinion but Lush describe it as blackcurrant fruit pastilles. Either way it is wonderfully sweet and girly.

The last flower is also a sweet one, Vanilla Fountain. This is the same scent as Vanillary perfume and Vanilla Puff Dusting Powder. It's more than just vanilla to my nose.. more like toffee!

This is the Happy Mother's Day gift and it consists of one of each of the flowers in a vase which is actually two Keep It Fluffy Ballistics. These are a lovely vanilla and jasmine fragrance, girly but luxurious at the same time. This gift is all held together by a cute little knot wrap. You can bag one of these for £18.50.

This is Tiny Hands. Lush are well known for their solid products which need less (or no) packaging and are therefore more environmentally friendly. This is a solid handcream which means no pot and so no plastic! It is full of argan oil, aloe vera, cocoa and shea butters to soften your hands, especially if they are dry or cracked. The fragrance sounds lovely too, vanilla and mild florals for a nice girly smell. These are £3.95 for 60g.

The mamma mia day gift box makes a refreshing change in my opinion because this year it is not dominated by sweet, pink and girly things. This box contains The Olive Branch shower gel which is a gorgeous gel with a mediterranean style scent of mandarins and olive oil. Creamed Almond and Coconut Smoothie is a really softening smoothie which you use in the shower and it smells like cake to me! I use it for shaving mostly but I love how softening it is on the skin. Miranda is another softening product which smells of refreshing and zingy kiwi fruits, it is one of my favourite soaps that often gets overlooked. Sugar scrub is a fennel, ginger and lavender smelling scrub that is excellent for cellulite. Finally there is a Tiny Hands solid handcream as described above! This box is £19.96.


So I hope that's given you some Mother's Day ideas or even some ideas for things to buy yourself!
