Ellen's Corner

Hello there my little dreamers! I hope you're all doing well! The new year is upon us, and I'm super excited to kick start it with some blog posts. If you've been following me recently, you'll know I've been blogging a lot more recently. My New Year's Resolution blog went up last week, so if you're interested in finding out what it had in store, take a look! But for now, I thought I'd tell you all about my favourite bits and pieces from December 2016. Favourite Moment: Ice Skating Double Date Why? Difficult choice for this one, as so many amazing thing have happened this month. It's been my birthday, it's been Christmas. But one thing, that embody's the entire season and is something I love, was ice skating with my boyfriend on a double date. I hadn't been ice skating in years, and it was so fun to be back on the ice. (However, having a special birthday message from Jedward is a close second!) Favourite Tea: Gin...

Hello there my little dreamers! Today I fancied telling you all about my favourite Lush products of 2016. As some of you may know, I’m an ex-Lush employee, I use to work as a Sales Assistant on Oxford Street, and I loved my job. I can’t wait for the day when I put my apron on again! Being a Lushie, I have had a year full of amazing products, I thought I’d tell you a bit more about my top five favourite products . Salted Coconut We’re going to start off with Salted Coconut hand scrub. When I worked at  Lush, this was the first thing I grabbed when giving a customer a hand treatment. It’s so exfoliating, brilliant for dry hands. I found it so helpful when I was working with strong chemicals and my hands were broken and dry. It’s a miracle worker, also great for achy feet! Vegan Stamp of Approval Brazened Honey Secondly, we’ll jump in with one of my favourite fresh face masks; Brazened Honey. First time I came across this product was again at Oxford Street, an...

2016 started off great for this little blog, however mid-way through, things got a bit slack on my part. I’d began working full time, my mental health went down the drain and I had no time or energy to blog. However, I believe 2017 is the year of success and good spirits. And so, without further ado, here is my New Year’s Resolutions and goals for 2017. Firstly, possibly the one most blog related is keep up one post a week from now till the end of 2017. This may seem quite simple, but as we can see from my lack of posts from 2016, it’s something that is seen as a bit of a challenge. So, may this be the start of something amazing. The next few things are more events than resolutions, but here’s a few things I’d love to see, love to do, and love to experience. I want to achieve things in 2017, I couldn’t in 2016. Find a part-time job , and save up for all these wonderful things, and work until I move home after university. I’ve already applied for a few jobs, and I’ve alrea...
