Couples Cuteness! Valentines Day!

Hey Hey!

 

 

My husband and I have been together for well over a decade now, we aren't huge on Valentines Day, I like to think if you love someone, it should be demonstrated all year round, not just once a year......That said, Sainsburys had some super cute Valentines couple items that I couldn't resist, i'd probably have picked them up if it wasn't the season of LOVE to be honest!

 

 

First up, this gorgeous couples movie night set!

How cute is this?!

Steve and I have two sons, aged 6 and 8, so as you can imagine our 'Date Nights', often consist of a takeaway, a movie and some popcorn! This set in my opinion is perfect!

All items are really solid and well made, and will no doubt last for years, you can get a lot of popcorn in the box too, so its perfect for  sharing!

 

 

A few days later I grabbed these, I love them!

Steve and I have been a couple for 13 years and will celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary this summer, yet we don't have, or have never had any 'his n hers' items. We love our coffee, its how we function, so we can be a sickeningly cute couple whilst getting our caffeine fix! Although Steve complains they aren't big enough, they are small mugs and he likes a bucket of the good stuff!

 

Lastly, if you thought the above was sickeningly sweet, look away now!

Our sons are still very young, but they do have their crushes!

And whilst we don't force it, I will support them and provide funds for them to buy little token gifts, and here they are! They gave them to their sweethearts yesterday on the last day school and were gifted sweet items back, so so sweet! 

 

 

So that's it!

Just a little peek at the love shared in our home this Valentines!

Whatever your opinions, weather you embrace the day or not, have a wonderful weekend!

 

 

Ill be back on Monday with my first 'Mummy Monday' Post! I'm excited to share more of my little munchkins with you.

Beautiful Bath Bombs and Scrumptious Bubble Bars! Lush Haul

Hey Hey!

 

Welcome lovelies.

 

I'm back with a gorgeous Lush Haul. I placed this order last week, i'm a huge Lush fan, with my nearest store being 30 miles away I love that I can have my scrumptious smelling treats delivered!

 

First up, 'Floating Flower', Petals of Love and Colour.

 

This is a really big product, and it smells divine, I've never been very good and differentiating between smells, but I can really smell the Jasmine in this bath bomb. They are £3.50 each and worth every penny!

 

Up next, 'Love Locket', Open your heart.

 

 

This is HUGE! And really heavy, it isn't my favourite of the Lush scents but I love the look of it and i'm really excited to try it out, because it's so big and I just have a standard size bath I will probably cut this bath bomb in half and use it for two separate baths. This one is now unfortunately out of stock online.

 

Now onto, 'Twilight', Let The Sun Set On Worries.

 

 

This one is still available and priced at £3.35.

I love the colour and the moon and stars design.

It smells absolutely wonderful, lavender...ahhh, I can't wait to have a bath time bubble with this little number!

 

Now, here we have, 'Heart Throb', Oh, Mi Amore....

 

 

Another gorgeous Valentines themed item from those clever folks at Lush. It is effectively a glitter/bubble bar sandwich! Perfectly sized for two! This is fragranced with  Frangipani Absolute and smells perfect, it also contains Shea Butter so will no doubt leave the skin beautiful and soft, and it's a bargain at just £3.65.

 

 

Next it's another glittery number!

'Sunnyside', Bright and Sparkling.

 

 

The picture doesn't do the shimmer on this any justice! It is, well, just wow! I love anything shiny, so a shiny bubble bar for just £3.75?!? Yes please!!

This has fresh citrus scents, just perfect.

 

Finally, onto my final item of my haul, the item I bought because of the tones of other bloggers and Instagramers posting on it, the gorgeous, crazy, beautifully wonderful.....

'Unicorn Horn!!'

Dreams Can Come True.

 

Another shimmery number. My boys love the look of this one so something tells me I wont be getting much, if any use from it, but it's ok, I got to see and hold it so i'll live!

Again this bubble bar is one of my fave scents, Lavender....beautiful! And just £3.25.

 

All in all a really fantastic range of products, i'm super excited to try them all out, and promise to report back with reviews from not just me, but my sprogs and hubby too!!

 

All products, except from the Love Locket are in stock at the time of this blog being published, and can be purchased HERE as well as in store.

 

Once again thanks for reading along lovelies!

I'll be back tomorrow with a look at some Valentines items we have picked up this week.

But for daily posts and pictures please follow me on my other outlets, and don't forget to share this blog if you like that you read!

 

Until next time,

Much Love,

Sweet Sunday : Red Velvet Cupcakes.

Hey Hey!

 

I'm back as promised with my first 'Sweet Sunday' post!

 

As you will see from the pictures below i am very much a novice baker, I very rarely do it to be honest! But it's my mum's birthday on Monday and t'is the season of love so thought i would give these a go!

 

                                              

 

They actually turned out ok! Quite moist and yummy!

My youngest son Harry certainly enjoyed them, and he considers himself a bit of a cake connoisseur!  

 

If you'd like to give making these a go I found the recipe at

 Red Velvet Cupcakes.

The only thing I changed was swirling a little red food colouring through to cream cheese frosting to make it pretty and pink!

 

The stand I picked up from my local Sainsburys.

 

I really hope you have enjoyed this post and if you make the cupcakes please let me know, i'd love to see your pictures over on my other social network outlets!

 

Have a great Sunday!

 

Much love,
