The Road

Cracked and broken

Shattered with fragmented thoughts

Isolated

It is yet too easy

To disturb a shard

A mere whisper of consciousness

Yet the shattered words jagged

Like daggers they cut

Shatter your windows

Break down your soul

Yet still you dream

Of The Paradise

Even when it is obscured

Hidden in the darkness

There is hope.

Hi guys,

Today I have my April Favourites post for you, I’m sorry I didn’t post a March favourites, by the time I remembered it was about the 10^th April and I figured that was a bit late…

So my first favourite this month is All I Know Now by Carrie Hope Fletcher. (Let me know if you want a full review of this in the comments.) I have a feeling that this book will become my holy grail, it is everything Carrie hoped it would be, it is a best friend in book form – to use the words of one of her reviewers. I love everything about this book, simply put.

As you could probably guess another of my favourites is The BodyShop Fuji Green Tea Bath Tea, I also love the shower gel. I don’t think I need to say anything else about this; I have a full review HERE.

I have also rediscovered an old favourite – the Superdry Wonderbalm. I got this lip balm for my birthday in July last year and at first I wasn’t sure about it, but I have recently rediscovered it and I think it has been really good for my lips. I am not too sure if you can buy this individually because I got it in a festival kit, but I’m sure you can probably find it somewhere.

Another item I have loved this month is the Rimmel Wake Me UpConcealer. I bought this at the start of the month (I think) and I have used it pretty much every day. I have this in the shade Ivory. This gives really good coverage and blends really well, I would recommend it if you’re looking for a new concealer.

I have also been loving Spotify this month. A couple of my favourite songs have been; Take Me To Church – Hozier, Miss Missing You and Thnks Fr Th Mmrs – Fall Out Boy, Skyscraper – Demi Lovato and Good Girls (acoustic) – 5 Seconds Of Summer.

Thanks for reading! I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you thought and your top two products from this month in the comments.

Hi guys,

So if you follow me on twitter, you can probably guess what this post is as I have mentioned it quite a few times, (you can find me on twitter @daisysmilerblog).

This is my ‘The Body Shop, Fuji Green Tea, Bath Tea’ review. 

Okay. First things first – I think I’m in love. This. Stuff. Is. Gorgeous. I have only used this product once, but, I love it so much and I feel like once is enough for this product because it’s a bath product, it won’t change when I use it.

The whole idea of this product is that it creates a soothing, calming, rejuvenating bath, perfect to cleanse and unwind. It is exactly that. I do sometimes feel that bath bombs can make me feel a bit greasy albeit calm after use, after using this I felt calm, refreshed and cleansed at the same time.

To use this you scoop/pour/whateververbyouwanttodescribethisactionwith the green tea formula into the little tea strainer. I probably could have used a bit more product than I did when I used this. I poured the bath tea into half of the bottom section of the strainer. The bath salts in the tea (I’m sorry if this is not the right description but, ya know, I’m not an expert at this by any means) melt into the bath and the tea leaves stay in the strainer, as they’re meant to.

I had a few tiny particles of leaves come floating into the bath but nothing that bothered me. The tea turns your bath a very lovely, calming light green colour, much like a normal green tea. It also has a gorgeous refreshing scent, which isn’t too overpowering. This is also great if you have sensitive skin like me because this product doesn't irritate me at all which is something I often find with bath products. I have never been irritated by The Body Shop products though so I knew I wasn't risking it with this product. :)

Overall I think this product is so clever and I absolutely love it, it is definitely worth the £12 it costs, although if do you buy the tea strainer (which I did) that is £5, you could probably use a normal strainer if you have a secure one, it just wouldn’t hang over the plug. If you like the scent of this, I would 100% recommend it to you as I love it! :)

I hope you enjoyed this review, let me know what you thought of the product if you have it or if you’re going to be getting it in the comments :)

Hi guys,

This is just a very short, sort of, introductory post. If you have read my minus the clothes haul you will have seen that I purchased a book called ‘642 Things To Write About’, it is, as you can probably tell, 642 writing prompts.

 I am going to be posting short pieces of writing that have been inspired by this book, along with the question so maybe it can inspire you too!

I am not going to have a strict posting schedule for this, it will just be whenever I decide to post it and the titles will be counting down from 642 and maybe, possibly, eventually going down to 0!

Let me know what you think of this idea, hope you like it!

Hi guys,

So I have mentioned that I will be doing this post quite a few times, and guess what? I finally got around to writing it. I should be posting a bit more for the next week as I am on half term holiday so, yay!

This is my ‘Soap andGlory, Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss’ review.

I'm sorry about the flash on this one...

The description for this product is: Britain’s hottest selling lip plumping gloss, Soap & Glory’s bestselling Original Formula SEXY MOTHER PUCKER includes ingenious PLUMPING MICROSPHERES that explode in volume up to 10x when they come in contact with water (they’re like tiny, dehydrated little sponges that expand when they get wet) and an exclusive microcirculation-stimulating extract to visibly enhance lip volume. Amazing. Addictive.

The packaging also says that a tingling sensation is normal and is just the lip gloss working.

The tingling sensation is definitely present on my lips; it begins after about five minutes and lasts for about half an hour. I do notice a difference in the plumpness my lips, I don’t know if that’s just because I'm looking for a change but…

I have one piece of advice if you’re planning on wearing this gloss, DO NOT, wear it out when it is windy, you WILL get hair stuck to your face. This is a very sticky lip gloss but because of this it has very good staying power. It also feels super moisturising which is always a bonus, am I right?

I have this in the shade ‘Candy Gloss’ which is a very pretty pale nude colour.

The Soap and Glory, Sexy Mother Pucker Lip Plumping Gloss RRP’s at £9 which is not too bad for what it does.

I don’t know if this is something I would've picked up, my wonderful Mum got it for me to replace the S&G Gloss Stick I lost on my German exchange but I am very glad I got this one. I love it and will definitely repurchase it when I need to (which I don’t think will be for a while!).

If you are looking for a long lasting, very pretty gloss and feel like your lips could do with a bit of a plump, I would definitely recommend this. Even if you’re not sure about the lip plumping aspect of this I would still recommend it as I wasn't sure at first and I now love it!

(It also comes in such lovely packaging which helps!)

I hope you enjoyed this post, let me know what you think!
