January Favourites 2017

Hello my little dreamers!

 Welcome back to another blog post, and our January Favourites. Within this post, you will get to find out about my highlights of January 2017...

 Favourite Moment: Yo! Sushi Masterclass
Why?
On Saturday 28th January, my boyfriend took me to the Yo! Sushi on Baker Street for a masterclass in Sushi making. He booked it for my birthday back in December, and we learnt everything from maki rolls to California rolls, and all the important facts about ingredients and the history. So excited to make my own home made sushi soon!

Favourite Lush Product (Skin Care): Angels on Bare Skin
Why?
After finishing my pot of Let The Good Times Roll skin cleaners, I needed a new one, and so I decided to try something new, one of Lush's most loved skin cared product: Angels on Bare Skin. It's full of almonds and butters, topped with lovely lavender to give it a luscious smell!
Favourite Lush Product (Shower/Hair): The Comforter
Why?
I've come to the conclusion that I have far too many Lush products that will soon be going out of date, so I've made the choice to pamper myself this month, and in doing so, I've been using my Comforter shower cream. This is one of my favourite scents that Lush does, it's very sweet and sultry and gives off a deep scent. Its a cuddle in a bottle!
Favourite TV Show: RuPaul's Drag Race
Why?
Can I get an amen up in here? RuPaul's Drag Race is slowly becoming one of my favourite shows of all time. It takes the competition of Next Top Model, and morphs it with men in wigs. Drag is an art form I've admired ever since I was little; dresses, make-up, hair: it embodies everything I love.

Favourite Snack: Graze's Sriracha Peas
Why?
I tried these once as a snack on a day out, and then again a week later. I was craving the texture and spicy taste they have, flavoured with chilli and garlic, they create a sensual flavours which just simply dance upon your tongue. I'll definitely be picking up another packet soon!
Favourite Music: Main Event by RuPaul
Why?
What else was I going to say? It's just so upbeat and jazzy, makes me want to get up and shake my tat-tats. Of course, since watching RuPaul's Drag Race, you can't get away from the music played on the show, which is made by our very own RuPaul.


Favourite Item of Clothes: Shoulder-Less Dress from H&M
Why?
When wandering around my local shops one day, I came across this little body-con dress in H&M which was originally £7 but reduced to £4 in the sale. It's very plain and simple, however it has a special off the shoulder effect with long-sleeves, great for the cold weather when you still want to look fly!
That's it for this month's favourites blog post! 

I've also done a video on my YouTube channel, which has a few extra surprises for you all! Thank you for reading, I'll catch you next Wednesday for my Aladdin West-End Review!

Catch you all next time,
~ Ellen ~

Before You Go! After getting the initial email, you will soon get a few more. It is important to make sure you accomplish everything prior to your interview.

'The Black Pearl' Candle by Maple & Whisky

Image
"Yo ho, yo ho - a pirates life for me..." Ever since I was little, my favourite ride has always been the Pirates of the Caribbean ride in Disneyland Paris. I've been obsessed with the franchise since I was about nine, when I was given all the films for Christmas.  When I heard a Etsy shop by the name of Maple and Whisky were creating Disney-inspired candles, I jumped at the chance to purchase one.  And so I did! I decided to treat myself to their newest candle, The Black Pearl . As pictured above, I bought myself the smaller addition in the 8oz jar (larger being 12oz) for only £8.30. All candles are handmade to order, and the company gives you the option of two different wicks and waxes.  I got mine custom made with a woodwick and a paraffin soy blend wax. The paraffin soy blend wax gives the candle a really powerful fragrance which makes the musky scent even more alluring and tasteful.  " You've seen a ship with black sails, th...
