December Favourites!

It's reached the end of the month again and it's time to upload a new monthly favourites post. There's been so many cool things this month, mostly which I've discovered over Christmas which I instantly fell in love with! I'll leave links with as many of the items as I can! Enjoy!

• No7 Beautiful Skin Cleansing Brush - this is one which I got for Christmas so I've only used it a handful of times but I can tell such a difference in my skin already. If you don't have one of these, you NEED to buy one! 
• Maybelline Baby Lips - these leave your lips feeling so moisturised and fresh, and they're a bargain for £2.99!
• Fluffy Socks - a tad random, but I have been living in fluffy socks for the past couple of weeks. They're super comfy and if you go to Primark, they have aloe vera fluffy socks and oh my god they are SO soft!
• Cadbury's Festive Friends - I think these are only available throughout the Christmas period and I've run out of mine, but if you see them anywhere please let me know and don't forget to grab some for yourself! They're my absolute favourites at Christmas time!
• Models Own HyperGel Polishes - they have a range of colours and last way longer than a normal nail polish. They're also a bargain at £5 and they feel just like gels too!
• Models Own Lip-Stix - I have these in the shades Purple Pleasure (my all time favourite lipstick EVER) and Awesome Apricot. They look amazing paired with any outfit.
• Spotify - I am obsessed with Spotify and at the moment they're doing an offer for Spotify Premium for 3 months for only 99p. You'd have to be mad if you didn't want that offer considering the standard price is £9.99 per month!
• Ed Sheeran's Album 'X' - Ed Sheeran has the most amazing songs and I got his newest album for Christmas and it really is fantastic! Definitely worth a purchase.
• One Direction 'Where We Are' Book -  I'd have to say that this is definitely an acquired taste! I'm about 100 pages in at the moment and I'm thoroughly enjoying it. 
• Girl Online Book - I'm listening to this on Audible and it's really good so far! Although, the plot sounds like it switches between narrators so I suggest it's probably easier to understand with a paper copy.

That's all for this month. Well, this year, in fact! I can't believe how quickly this year has gone by. I wish you all a very Happy New Year! <3  

Merry Christmas!

Santa's been!!!!!!!

Just a quick post to wish you all a Merry Christmas! I apologise for not uploading this week but it has been busy!

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas time wherever you are and whatever you're up to! Eat lots of food, have tons of fun, and be merry! We've had a lovely morning together (Mum, Dad, James & me) and I'm sure an even more fun afternoon is ahead playing new board games and much more!

Once again, have a lovely Christmas everyone!

It's (nearly) Chriiiiiiiistmassssss!!!!!

Just 11 days until Christmas eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeek!!! Is everyone else as excited as I am?!

My advice to you all would be to not go Christmas shopping anywhere near the day itself - maybe even stretching out to two weeks before! It's absolute chaos in the shopping centre near where I live. I 'popped' over there yesterday to buy some last minute gifts and it was heaving with frantic shoppers - never again!! There were people fighting their way through the stores to try and get what they wanted! People being rude and cutting queues, fighting their way through aisles and children running round everywhere. Parents shouting all over the place and just absolute chaos! I eventually got the gifts I needed after about 3 hours of running around trying to get through. I can't believe how rude some people can be, I mean, it's the festive season why can't everyone just be nice?! We are all trying to achieve the same thing - buying presents, getting out, so the people being rude are just making life harder for everyone else. Although, the plus side to going and getting gifts late, is that sales start creeping their way in!  

I would like to add a couple more things to this blog post as well. If you're lucky enough to be around family for Christmas just make the most of it because not all families are as lucky as yours and be thankful to have company around! Also take family out for a meal or eat a take away all together on Christmas Eve and make it a tradition! It's always nice to be with family at Christmas time!

I hope you all have a VERY Merry Christmas and an Awesome New Year!

Welcome to 'SSS'!

Hey everyone!

I've wanted to start a lifestyle / DIY blog for a while and I've finally gotten round to it! There's so many amazing products and little things around recently and I really wanted to share some more of my favourites that I've been loving recently, so my first post will be a November Favourites :)

• Jack Wills - they have some amaaaaaaaaaazing stuff in their Jack Wills Christmas Grotto this season. So many cute bags for only £12.50, as well as some lovely emery boards, headbands and so much more for just £5! Definitely pay a visit to their website if you're in need of affordable yet nice gifts!
• One of my favourite websites at the moment is Love Clothing. They stock mens and womens clothing, and have a gorgeous range at the moment and for super cheap too, so definitely check them out. Also, enter the code 'lottiewithlove' at the checkout to receive 10% off all orders :)
• Maybelline Coloursens Nude Lipstick in the shade 'Tantalizing Taupe'
• Yankee Candle Advent House. The website I bought mine off was a little more pricey than the link here, which sucks as I've only just found this website! Although it was so worth the money, you can even smell the candles whilst they're stuck there in the box. So excited to open them all!
• Sunny D - the most amazing Orange drink at the moment, it tastes so fruity, and although it is packed full of sugar, it's such a lovely treat every now and then (available from places like Aldi, Tesco etc)
• Gingerbread! What else could I possibly be loving more than gingerbread at this time of the year...?!
• Pink Parcel - Definitely for the ladies! I tried this for the first time this month. The Pink Parcel company set up a box each month that includes pads or tampons, chocolate, and loads of other treats to cheer you up when it's that time of the month! The first box is £5.95, whereas the rest from then on cost £9.99
• Christmas Eve Yankee Candle - smells just like Christmas - so divine and would make the perfect gift for someone!
• Chocolate Mousse - so random but such a nice snack!
• Propercorn Popcorn. Absolutely amazing, such a yummy snack, really cheap, under 100 calories per pack (wowzer!) and also in some scrumscious flavours! 

These are all my favourites for now, I hope you have a lovely week and see you all soon!

Much Love!
