Lush Mother's Day Collection*

Hello! I hope you all had a beautiful Mother's Day, and was able to relax and enjoy time with your families. We went all the way to Aldinga Beach for a hotel lunch with my Mother-In-Law and let me just say, it was great to get some proper fresh air. Yes, I'm shading you, big city! Today I'm posting about the Lush Mother's Day collection, which arrived one and a bit business days before Mother's Day, and since I had two long appointments Friday and yesterday, I'm not getting a chance to write this until now. I'd love to be less busy for a hot minute! #justsayin'

I love flowers for Mother's Day, and this year I got a stack of goodies from the school Mother's Day stall and a tripod and accessories for my iPhone - all fantastic presents, but nothing even remotely floral! Along comes Ups-A-Daisy* with its fluro orange petals and bright pink centre, all smelling of a garden in bloom. Ups-A-Daisy is a chunky flower, too, with quite a bit of weight behind it. And it's double-sided, with the flipside bright yellow and blue. A bath bomb full of essential oils like bright orange oil, soft rose and soothing rosewood, perfect for pampering Mama!

Let's talk Pink Custard*, because frankly I haven't had dessert in ages (excluding the Lemon Curd Tart I had at our special Mother's Day lunch yesterday, but who's counting that?!). I generally prefer my Custard laced generously with brandy (is it Christmas yet?) but who can resist a pretty pink concoction that's more fun than the Mother-In-Law asking to see my pussy on Sunday (she obviously meant the photos of my cats, Nutmeg and Pumpkin, in my iPhone). I'm a huge fan of Lush shower jellies, the wibbly wobbly goodness is a bucketload of fun! A shower jelly scented with lavender and tonka, how can you go wrong?

Honey Lip Scrub* is self-explanatory, and although I occasionally have honey on my toast, unfortunately I do not like having this scrub on my lips. For some reason, I can't take the smell of this, and it would have to be my least favourite Lush lip scrub. Ones I'd recommend instead of this include Popcorn, Mint Juleps and my personal favourite, Sugar Plum Fairy (unfortunately a Limited Edition release and not currently available). We are all different when it comes to scents, so I imagine bee-lovin' honey fans would love this.

Haha OMG my poor sweet Elsie The Giraffe* arrived with her foot detached and I'm simultaneously amused and horrified. I'm sure she'll adapt to life without her yellow hoof (I had to gently shove it back into place for her photoshoot), and it won't cause her to end up in hot water. Bahahaha, THAT'S EXACTLY WHERE SHE'LL END UP.... SHE'S A BUBBLE BAR! And a reusable one at that! Poor Elsie will be in hot water over and over again! And the bathroom will smell of lemon, lime and grapefruit. Bring on the demise of Elsie!

Your Mother Should Know* is a bubble bar with a very strong scent of grapefruit, rosewood and neroli. I happen to enjoy strong scents as long as they're more citrussy than floral, but some people may find this BOOM fragrance a little much. Your Mother Should Know pearls of wisdom like 'treat others with respect', 'honesty is the best policy' and 'life's too short....'. I was taught these principles as a child and think it's so important to pass these life lessons onto my son, as his Mother, and just from one human being to another.

Oh Deer Sugar Haul!

Hello! I mentioned in my Mother's Day Gift Guide that I treated myself to an Oh Deer Sugar haul, and I wanted to show you that today! I saw that they were releasing a Mother's Day collection, checked it out and immediately fell in love with the Ombre Macarons. I love bath and shower products, and these babies were pretty and the scents sounded amazing! At only $15 for three re-usable bubblebath macarons, it was really a no-brainer. Then things kind of snowballed from there.

A little background on Oh Deer Sugar for the uninitiated. Oh Deer Sugar is a four year old South Australian non-edible bakery that makes vegan bath and body products. The products are not tested on animals and all the ingredients are ethically sourced. But most importantly, their products are the shit, you guys. The Shower Moose is something else, with two different varieties making my Monthly Favourites (Oh Peachy Keen Peaches And Cream here and the Oh Passion Rose & Passionfruit here).

Despite my addiction to the deliciously fragrant moussey delight that is Oh Deer Sugar shower moose, I thought it high time that I branch out a little and experience more ODS goodness. So that's enough waffling (and there is a non-edible waffle in this haul!), let's get on with the goodies!


Oh Deer Sugar Haul!
~ Ombre Macarons Bubble Bath (Mother's Day range)
~ Candy Krush Waffle Bath Bomb
~ Lemon, Lime & Bitters Donut Bubble Bath
~ Bubblegum Grape & Blueberry Chocolate Block Soap
~ Confetti Fawn Jellybeans & Popping Candy Chocolate Block Soap

Ombre BubbleBath Macarons from the Mother's Day collection. So pretty!

Candy Krush Waffle Bath Bomb. So waffley!

Lemon, Lime & Bitters Donut Bath Bomb. So orange!

Oh Confetti Fawn and Oh Bubblegum Chocolate Block Soaps. So colourful!

Mother's Day Gift Guide!

Well hello May! With Mother's Day fast approaching, I thought I'd put together my recommendations for lovely presents, in the form of my (hopefully!) helpful Mother's Day Gift Guide! I'm a Mum myself, so I'm well aware some of us have a tendency to put ourselves last. So this Guide will be focussed on gorgeous products that Mums can relax and pamper themselves with. Because if there's any day we should indulge in 'me time' on, it has to be Mother's Day! Read on for some delightful pampering gifts ideas and let me know which is your favourite in the comments!

GUESS 1981 Eau de Toilette Spray*
This fragrance comes in a cute pale pink box and the bottle itself is minimal and stylish, with a round design and a square silver lid. Described as elegant, sophisticated and graceful, the scent is feminine, modern and sexy. Guess 1981 would be perfect for date night, as it's sensual and musky with a strong floral scent. In terms of composition, the top notes are violet and ambrette seed, with a fruity and floral heart of pear, jasmine petals and sandalwood and a base of musk, amber and cedar wood.  Available in 50ml and 100ml eau de toilette bottles, you can either go all out and buy this as Mum's major gift, or get the super-cute smaller size and add it as an extra gift to spoil her!

Available from May. Stockists unavailable at time of posting. Priceline and Chemist Warehouse stock Guess fragrance though, so my best Guess (haha) would be there.

Oh Deer Sugar Ombre Bubblebath Macarons
This three pack of ombre bubblebath macarons are possibly the cutest thing I've ever bought! I fall more in love with Oh Deer Sugar every time I step inside this South Australian non-edible bakery, and I went so far as to treat myself with an online haul the day they released their Mother's Day range! (Look out for that blog post in the future). These smell amazing and are pink, pretty and the perfect Mother's Day gift because everyone loves a fragrant bubblebath, right? The scents are apricot and grapefruit, peaches and cream and peony and nectarine. I talk about Oh Deer Sugar Oh Peachy Keen Shower Moose in my March Favourites and the Oh Passion Rose & Passionfruit Shower Moose in my September Favourites, such is my love for these products.

Available at Oh Deer Sugar in Regent Arcade, Adelaide or at Oh Deer Sugar online.

Sally Hansen Color Therapy Nail Polish*
The reason this is 'color therapy' is because the formula contains Argan Oil, so it's supposed to 'care while you wear'. I love multi-tasking products, and this is a nail polish, top coat, cuticle and nail oil in one! I have trialled these polishes and I really love them. I think combining nail colour (which a lot of us enjoy wearing) with a nail treatment is a fantastic idea, because multi-tasking for the win, right guys? I can recommend the shade Pampered in Pink (third from the left in the above photo - check out my Manicure and Review of that here) because it's bright, cheerful, feminine and I love how it looks on my nails. I think a lot of other Mothers would love it, too!

Available at Priceline, Target, Kmart, Chemist Warehouse, Woolworths and Coles.

Urban Rituelle Wellness Cleansing Bars*
If you're looking for something a little bit special this Mother's Day, I can highly recommend these luxurious cleansing bars from Urban Rituelle. They're a bit more expensive than other soaps, but they are high quality, super large in size so they last ages and the fragrances are out of this world! Before I wax lyrical about the scents, these cleansing bars from the new Harvest range are also palm oil free, vegan friendly and Aussie made using 100% naturally derived ingredients. Being a huge citrus lover, I was delighted to trial Grapefruit, Lemon, Pineapple & Celery; Blood Orange, Papaya & Mandarin and lastly Lemon Myrtle, Lemongrass & Muddled Mint. The other fragrances are Guava, Cranberry & Goji Berries; Rose Infused Coconut Water, Cucumber and Aloe and lastly Coconut, Honey, Almond & Chia.

Available at Urban Rituelle online or click here for Stockists in your area.

Weleda Tinted Lip Balm in Rose*
I've really been enjoying my Weleda Tinted Lip Balm in the Rose shade lately and think it would make a great addition to any Mother's Day gift. The formula is creamy and slightly moussey, the product feels beautiful on the lips and the finish is a flattering, shimmery light pink colour. It's like wearing a balm that's hydrating and moisturising your lips, nourishing them and making them softer whilst also giving you a soft wash of colour. This range also comes in Nude, but this is too light for my skin tone, and Berry, which I don't have so I can't comment on that one. The balm smells of rose petals and vanilla, which is an added bonus! Click here to read my probably too cheeky Brand Focus on Weleda.

Available at David Jones, selected health food stores, pharmacies, online stores and Weleda online.

Natura Siberica Active Organics Revitalizing Bath Salts*
I highly recommend these Revitalizing Bath Salts from Natura Siberica; I've used them before and seriously didn't want my tub of goodness to end! They provide an incredibly relaxing bath that would be perfect for Pamper Sunday, or Pamper any-day-of-the-week! The fragrance of these herbal salts is freakin' delightful. Even my nine year old son, who turns his nose up at a lot of smells despite producing questionable ones himself (heh), went "ahhh" when he smelt these. The ingredients include Siberian Ginseng, Rose Hip Oil and Calendula Flower Extract. I've reviewed this lovely product here.

Available at Natura Siberica online or discounted at Chemist Warehouse.

Harvest Garden French Green Clay Facial Masque*
To add to Mum's 'me time' on Mother's Day, you can't go wrong with a lovely face mask. I'm a big believer in Pamper Sunday, which usually involves a relaxing bath, a face mask and a DIY manicure if I get around to it! This Harvest Garden Facial Masque contains French Green Clay, Olive Green Australian Clay, Matcha Green Tea and Aloe Vera extract. The super-fun part is that you mix it yourself and paint it on with a brush; I love this because it brings out the artist in me! The benefits are refined pores, a reduction in irritation and revitalized skin. Clay draws out impurities, clarifies and detoxes the skin. I love Harvest Garden products and you can read my review of more from their range here.

Available at various pharmacies, health food stores, florists, giftware stores and Harvest Garden online.

Rustic Bliss Lemon And Lime Bath Milk*
Have you guessed yet that I have a penchant for bath products? This lemon and lime milk dissolves leaving you with an amazing, zesty, citrus-smelling bath that is super relaxing! I love the sweet candy-like fragrance of this Blissful bath milk that's invigorating and soothing at the same time. Check out my review of this gorgeous Rustic Bliss product here.

Available at Rustic Bliss online.


Linking up with Monday Makeup Madness, Life This Week, Open Slather and Mummy Mondays!

What are your plans for Mother's Day this year? Do any of these gifts take your fancy?

Max The Unicorn Mother's Day Gift Guide!

Mother's Day is fast approaching, Sunday May 8 for those of us who aren't super organised! I normally have a lovely, relaxing day with my family, with lunch out and most important of all, no housework or cooking. Who am I kidding, I never cook on the weekends anyway!

I love helping hubby buy a lovely beauty gift for his Mum, usually taking advantage of a department store Gift With Purchase offer (they are the greatest). I must say, hubby has really stepped up his game, because I've been on the receiving end of some magnificent presents lately!

I've put together a little Gift Guide, in case your struggling for gift ideas. It's quite pamper-heavy, because that's the way I roll. I hope this inspires you and helps you find a Mother's Day present your loved one will cherish. Happy Mother's Day to all the Mums out there, I hope you have a truly beautiful day with your family!

Natura Siberica Oblepikha Shower Gel*
I fell in love with Natura Siberica Oblepikha And Honey Body Scrub and raved about it here, then I was lucky enough to be sent the matching Shower Gel to try as well, and it didn't disappoint! The fragrance of the scrub and gel is so beautiful, kind of like an orange and mango smoothie! There's a ton of beneficial properties in the sea-buckthorn (Altai Oblepikha) ingredient (check out my linked Review of the scrub for more information); suffice to say this gel is energising, uplifting and a real winner. This is a beauty that Mum will want on display because the packaging is just that pretty!

Available in Chemist Warehouse and at Natura Siberica online.

Benefit Cheekathon, photo via Adore Beauty

Benefit Cheekathon
I'm not going to lie. I literally just bought this from Adore Beauty yesterday. They were sold out when I went into Myer, so I thought I better step on it, especially since this is a Limited Edition release! If you're a fan of Benefit, you'll know their Box O Powders normally set you back $51 each. This gorgeous set of five (yes, five) selected Benefit powders only costs $98, so you are basically getting three for free. And they are full size! This is extremely good value for money. Contained within the set, along with a powder brush is Dandelion, Hoola, Dallas, CORALista and Rockateur. Mum can blush, bronze and admire the pretty packaging to her hearts content with Cheekathon. Can't wait for mine to arrive!

Benefit Cheekathon is still available online at Adore Beauty.

Urban Rituelle Soaps*
Even though I received these bars of soap in my Bloggers United goodie bag at the Adelaide event, I'm no stranger to this brand! A while back I went through quite the UR phase, buying their gorgeous vegetable soaps in Guava, Honeysuckle, Grapefruit, Green Tea, Lime Splice and Mango. These Botanical Soaps are huge bars (200g) and come in beautiful packaging. As with all Urban Rituelle soaps, they leave you with lovely soft, clean skin and a smile on your face! The brown one (in the brown packaging) is infused with natural vanilla, lavender and geranium essential oils and the pale yellow soap (in the green packaging) contains natural lemongrass, lemon myrtle, grapefruit and eucalyptus essential oils, so it's very fresh and fruity. Highly recommended for an indulgent addition to Mum's shower routine!

Urban Rituelle soaps can be found here. 

Pink and Red Nail Polish
There's something so pretty about red and pink nail polishes! Although I love experimenting with colour (God only knows I've had blue, turquoise, orange, gold, black and green nails) if I want to feel amazing, I'll go for a pretty pink or a sexy red and #nailit. There are so many brands to choose from these days when it comes to nail polish. If you want to get Mum a few inexpensive ones to throw in with her gift, Ulta3 have an extensive range of colours available at selected chemists for only $2 - $2.50 each. I've selected a mid-range brand (Rimmel) and a higher end (but still reasonable, especially if you find them on sale!) brand, Essie. Both are great quality! Pictured are Strawberry Fizz and Cranberry Zest from the Rimmel I <3 Fruities range (bonus fruity scent when the product dries!) and Madison Ave-Hue and Jump In My Jumpsuit by Essie.

These nail polish brands are available at Priceline.

Lush Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb*
I was sent some goodies from the Limited Edition Lush Mother's Day range, including the delightful Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb. This bomb is a pure delight from start to finish, breaking away under hot running water to reveal rose petals that float atop the gorgeous pink-hued bath water. This is a floral indulgence that every Mum should experience and I'm definitely going in-store to pick up a few more before May 8! I've reviewed Rose Bombshell in my Lush Mother's Day range post here.

Available instore or online at Lush up until May 8.

Kmart Journals
This one's a bit different, but it may appeal to the stationery-loving Mum. Normally I get all my notebooks from Typo, but there was a Kmart Journal included in my goodie bag at the Bloggers United Event, and it made me realise Kmart are really upping their game! These two featured journals I later bought for myself. Aren't they cute? They have different textured covers and the coloured inner design is really great too. There were lots of different funky designs to choose from and at only $5 each, it's the perfect gift for someone who likes to jot down their thoughts!

Available in-store at Kmart, online has limited stock.

Bockers And Pony Choc-O-Lot Hamper, photo via Bockers And Pony

Bockers And Pony Hampers
What Mum wouldn't love to receive a Hamper on Mother's Day?! Bockers And Pony have a great range of hampers, whether it be for relaxing, pampering or indulging. Hampers range from around $80 to $430, so there's sure to be something suitable for any budget. My personal favourites (hint hint, hubby!) are the Treasure Hamper, Manhattan Hamper and the Choc-O-Lot Hamper. Yum!

Hampers available online at Bockers And Pony.

Glasshouse High Tea Candle, photo via Glasshouse Fragrances

Glasshouse Fragrances High Tea Candle

When you shop from the Pink Collection between 1 April - 8 May, Glasshouse will will donate 5% of the RRP less GST to the McGrath Foundation.

What's your favourite product from my Gift Guide?

Lush Mother's Day Range!

Mother's Day will be here before we know it (Sunday May 8th to be exact), so it's time to start thinking about a gift for your Mum, wife or even yourself if you're a Mum (there's nothing wrong with self-gifting. I do it all the time!). My husband and son always get me something lovely, and we get something beauty-related for my Mother-In-Law, too.

If you're a Lushie like me, you'll know Lush have released their Limited Edition Mother's Day range for 2016! It's available in-store and online from April 20 until May 8, which means you can check out the goodies now! I was kindly sent a few things from the range; let's have a look at some of the gorgeous creations for this year....

Rose Bombshell Bath Bomb*

'Drop a bombshell for a floral triplet of rose petals, rose absolute and rose oil. As it fizzes, the outer shell breaks away and magnificent petals burst out in a sweet haze of Sicilian lemon, floral geranium and Turkish rose oil and rose absolute'.

I've already used this and would highly recommend picking one up if you're into roses and gorgeous floral scents. I loved it! The bathwater turned pink, there were rose petals floating on top and the smell was utterly delightful. If you're a fan of Lush RoseJam shower gel, this will be your cup of tea. Rose Bombshell is perfect for an indulgent, pampering, feminine bath experience. I had quite the relaxing bath, with my lit candles and door firmly shut (interruptions be gone). If only I'd brought a glass of wine!

Yummy Mummy Shower Cream*

'The mother of all shower creams, made with Fair Trade organic cocoa butter for blissful lathers and velvet-soft skin. This gloriously sweet blend of Brazilian orange and geranium oil is a sure-fire way to pack some pampering into your daily routine.'

Last year Lush released Yummy Mummy shower gel, this year we get the shower cream. The Creams are getting more popular I've noticed (I'm still working on my huge Lord Of Misrule cream from Christmas!). I probably still prefer the gel formula to the cream, however Yummy Mummy is luxuriously soft to use and translates to a beautiful pampering experience. The aroma is sweet and very floral; I get a huge geranium hit, so if you prefer fruity fragrances, this may not be up your alley. The lavender colour is really pretty and I appreciate how soft my skin feels after using this cream, but I can think of a lot of other Lush shower cleansers I'd reach for before this one.

Ladybird Bubble Bar*

'This friendly little ladybird wants to take you under its wing and run you a hot floral bath, filled with sweet geranium oil to aid relaxation. A little peppermint oil gives a menthol hint to this flowery mix, helping to revive and uplift your mind and body.'

How cute is this Ladybird!? I'm saving this special little bug for Mother's Day, because it will be wonderful to soak in a relaxing bath full of flowery-scented bubbles after my hard day of being taken out to lunch. LOL. This is also available in a cute-as-heck LadyBird Gift Set for Mother's Day, which contains Honey Bee bath bomb, Sunflower bubbles and Ladybird bubble bar. I can't wait to use this!

Rose Bombshell RRP $7.50
Yummy Mummy RRP $19.95 (250g)
Ladybird RRP $6.95
Available in-store or online April 20 - May 8, 2016.

Have you got your Mother's Day gifts sorted?

LUSH 2015 Mother's Day Range!

Part of the Lush 2015 Mother's Day range

I recently received a beautiful, bright purple flowery box from Lush containing a selection of products from their Mother's Day range! These products are Limited Edition; they are made just for Mother's Day and are available now to buy in-store and online until May 11th. And in case you haven't got around to Googling it, Mother's Day this year falls on Sunday 10th May! If you're a Lush Lover like me, you'll be keen to get in-store and smell everything new! They also have beautiful Gift Sets available if you want to spoil your Mum with multiple Lush goodies. Here are some of the lovely products on offer this year......

Yummy Mummy shower gel
My all-time favourite line of Lush products are their shower gels, closely followed by their soaps. They just make such beautifully fragranced shower gels, and Yummy Mummy is no exception. This gorgeous lilac-hued floral gel leaves me smelling like a fresh bouquet of flowers. There are tiny shimmering silver sparkles in there, too, making it extra special. I love the gel's thick consistency, and the addition of seaweed extract left my skin super-soft. If you love the smell of fresh flowers, you will definitely appreciate this bloomin' product!

Love You Mum soap
I love the deep red colour, however this mimosa, jasmine absolute and bergamot oil-scented product is not my favourite smelling soap. It gives a thick, pale pink lather which is definitely low on the bubble scale. I found this a bit awkward to hold at first, however after a bit of fiddling I found an advantage to the novel flower shape; if you hold the soap with the flat side against your palm, the petals actually give you a lovely, gentle massage as you soap your body! Or you can flip it and use the petal knobs (lol) as finger holds for a super-smooth soaping. This individual red flower soap is a press sample only and the Love You Mum soap available for public purchase is the full floral patterned block one displayed here.

Rose Bombshell bath bomb
I experienced such a lovely, relaxing bath with this rosy delight! Under hot water, the white outer edge crumbles to reveal pink inside and rose petals, resulting in pale pink bath water with petals floating on top (see photo above)! The scent is floral and subtle enough to not be overwhelming. The ingredients include soya milk powder, orange flower absolute, rosewood and Turkish rose oils. Afterwards, my skin was soft to the touch and sweetly fragranced. I might invest in a couple of these bombs before they sell out, because this girly, pink, rosy bath experience was an absolute joy!

Mother Superior bubble bar
I'm leaving this cherry blossom scented bar for my son to use, because he likes the face on it, despite my husband saying it resembles a cat's anus. I can only imagine this bright bar turns the water blue, fills the bath with bubbles and the room with the smell of cherry blossoms! This remains to be seen, but that's my best guess based on the available information. The bar itself smells sweet and floral, and the ingredients include Sicilian lemon oil, orange blossom infusion, jasmine and mimosa absolute. My son can't wait to try his Mother Superior bubble bar!

Yummy Mummy body conditioner
Lush body conditioners are quite unique in that you use them like you would a hair conditioner, but on your body! So after you've cleaned yourself, apply the conditioner on your skin, then rinse it off. The result is wonderfully soft, smooth, moisturised and beautifully fragranced skin, and no need to apply a body moisturiser once you're out of the shower! Speaking of fragrance, Yummy Mummy smells delightful. The ingredients include fresh strawberry juice, murumuru and Fair Trade Organic cocoa butter. This is my favourite Lush body conditioner thus far. OK, I've only tried two, but this is better than the exotic African Paradise (here's my review of that) in my opinion!

Bloomin' Awesome Box!

Disclaimer: All products were provided for consideration. This is a non-sponsored post and all reviews are my honest opinion.

Which product takes your fancy from the Lush Mother's Day range?

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day to all the Mummies out there! I just scored socks (it's OK, I actually asked for them), a Mother's Day Scratchie Pack, a lovely sparkly flower card and 2 Pillow Pets!! Rainbow Unicorn and Magical Unicorn.  Apparently, "it's a Pillow! it's a Pet! it's a Pillow Pet!" LOL. I've accidentally put them in some kind of vague sexual position when setting up for the photo, please dismiss this, it was the best way to fit them in the frame. :oD 


WOO UNICORNS!!!!!!!

Mother's Day LOVE = Happiness

I had a fantastic Mother's Day this year. Zach came to me carrying a large wrapped present and loudly exclaimed "Happy Mother's Day, Mummy!". This had been well rehearsed and was very cute. We went to the park for a picnic lunch. Zach played in the playground and we all kicked around the soccer ball. In the evening, we took my Mother In Law out to dinner. We took the Nintendo DS to keep Zach happy but he was off playing in the kid's section for most of the night, with the odd break for watermelon and icecream. I wrapped his nuggets and chips in four napkins and took it home with us.

And without further ado, here are my presents!

Sparkly Card !!!

Hubby got me a Clinique Happy Heart perfume pack which qualified for the Clinique Gift With Purchase, so here is a combination of both those gifts. Let me just say...... WOOT !!!!!!!!!!!

And here's why some products are missing. I have put them away in this ......

It's a Makeup Organiser!! So exciting! You should have seen me making the Very Important Decision of which makeup was special enough to make the cut. I could probably fill 4 of these.

And here's my little man. Watching TV. Love you Zach!!

Did you have a good Mother's Day?
