October Favourites

It's October :) I'm currently sat on my bed and looking out of my window, the sky is a blue/grey and the trees are extremely bare. I feel as if it has only been Autumn for a week, the weather has turned a little chilly and the leaves have just dropped in one go. 

Every Autumn I think to myself I must take some pretty "autumn" based pictures as the area I live in is very photogenic. I never do, but any photo I take would never capture the true beauty of the moment anyway. 

This months first favourite is actually astory, it happened this morning but I feel it is super cute. 

Being helpful towards my mother this morning I hung the washing on the line for her (it was all her clothes so no benefit towards me) when my 6 year old cocker spaniel ran up to me, sat on the wet grass and started whimpering. So I picked him up, went over to mum and she informed me he was being a drama queen and wanted to play ball. He'd been very patient for hours waiting by his toys whilst I slept and mum did some gardening. 
I had recently purchased him a orange and black ball with a rope handle. After a couple of throws up and down the garden he came bouncing back without it (he has the attention span of a peanut sometimes). When I called "go find it" to get the game back going again, he went bouncing off and picked up a leaf...a big orange leaf that he thought was his ball. Much to his disgrace he spat it out of his mouth very quickly then ran to his toy. 
Reading back I guess it's one of those story where you had to be there. But it's still going in my favourites :). 

Don't revise Lissay, play with me instead!

Now for a slightly more normal favourite...although this has to be another "you had to be there" story, maybe even "I love him so everything is cute about him" story too. 

Lush recently brought out their autumn winter range. Which of course includes snow fairy. It smells so amazing ! The scent is candy floss, I have not smelled candy floss before, only eaten it. I would say it's smells a little bit stronger than the taste of candy floss...does that make sense to you? It is fruity, but sweet like icing sugar. I think that is the best way to describe it. 

Its pink, it's very pink. The scent lasts all day on my skin too, but then again I don't do anything which would make the scent disappear...like exercise. *slaps wrist*. 

It leaves my skin feeling very smooth also. 
I was watching TV earlier with my boyfriend, and I caught a whiff of the soap, but it did not come from me. So I sniffed his arm, we're close enough to pull moves like that off, and his face looked as if he'd been caught doing something he shouldn't. Turns out, he'd liked the smell of it so much he'd been using it too. N'awhh, he does not want a bottle for Christmas though, it's too pink for his house. 

I have got the big 500g bottle which is £11.95 and I also treated my self to the snow fairy gift set which is £22.50 and comes with 100g bottle £3.75, snow fairy sparkle shimmer bar £4.95, the god mother soap £3.10 and the magic wand reusable bubble bar £5.25. Turns out if I had brought it all separately it would have been £5.45 cheaper. I will not make that mistake again! Looking forwards to bath time later though :)

I have had very problematic skin recently...It's a hormone thing. I have acne tablets and cream but this does not always keep them at bay. My chin has been extremely red, sore, swollen and painful for what seems like a month, but is more a week, week and a half maybe. Some days it feels like i have a grazing muzzle on because it can be painful to eat...which just makes me want to eat more as I find food very comforting. 

In order to help relieve the sting and reduce redness I have been using the Body shop tea tree face mask - suitable for blemished skin £10 for 100 ml along with my witch anti blemish redness relief moisturiser. Although I still have the spots, these products have been a god send! They have really reduced redness and soreness. The tea tree elements in the face mask are instantly cooling and the moisturiser has a green tint to it which instantly covers redness and then the calming ingredients, such as witch hazel help to calm any irritation and sensitivity within the skin. I do not know how I coped before I had these products. As much as I'd loved to do a before and after shot of the moisturiser i do not fancy putting a picture of my acne in my favourites. I'm sure you'll appreciate it too.

That is it for this month, not a lot but these products have made a difference in my month :)
