Marbella !



So I haven't posted in a while and that's due to the fact I have been on Holiday ! 
I have never wrote a lifestyle post before so I thought its time to try one out and write a little about my holiday :) 

I had been waiting for my holiday all year and I cant believe it is now over and done with. Me and my family stay in a lovely complex near the town of Marbella called Costalita in Spain .

My Holidays consist of shopping sunbathing and eating ! No early mornings for us !
After spending the day at the pool we usually ventured to Puerto Banus to find a restaurant for dinner.

Now if you watch Towie you will know what Puerto Banus is. For the people who don't its a lovely little Marina showing of lots of boats, expensive cars and designer shops.

One of my favorite shops to visit in Puerto Banus was the Kiko Makeup store. I had never heard of Kiko cosmetics before and absolutely loved everything in the shop and the prices were very reasonable. So I have come back with many Kiko products which I will be reviewing soon !

Here are a few pictures I took whilst being in sunny Spain.

2. Puerto Banus - Any Part

3.Estepona - La Antigua (Beautiful Restaurant 1 min walk away from apartment)

So if your thinking of going here Book It ! 
You will not regret anything !


Thanks for Reading !

Rub Rub Rub Lush Shower Scrub


Rub Rub Rub Shower Scrub is another product I received in a recent gift box. Personally I wouldn't have chose this in the shop as I usually go for more girly products. When you first open the scrub it smells fresh and floral. I usually go for more sweet smelling things but I still thought this scrub smelt nice. One thing I did really like about the product straight away was the colour. The colour is a bright blue which makes it more appealing to me as its nice to look at. 

Before using i looked up the product on the lush website. I found out that this scrub is unisex so this is great to have in the bathroom for anyone to use. 




The main ingredients used for this scrub are Mineral rich sea salt for the exfoliation, organic lemon juice, mimosa and orange flower which adds the great smell. 

The sea salt used in the scrub is extra special as it had been through a long process. The sea water is harvested from the shores in Spain. Then is channeled until the water evaporates leaving behind crystallized salt. The process takes 3 years !.

There are a couple ways to use the scrub. You can apply to dry skin before you shower for a more intense exfoliation, or you can use like a shower gel and apply while in the shower. You can even apply to your hair for a volumizing treatment ! Personally i haven't tried this as i am not sure i would get all the salt out of my hair.

The Mimosa and Orange flower leaves your skin smelling fresh hours after use. The smell lingers for most of the day after using so this is a great bonus. 

This is a slightly smaller pot than when you purchase the item individually. The scrub costs £7.95 for 330g of product. This is quite a lot for just a shower scrub but when you think about the process the scrub has been through and the scrub itself lasts around 3 months so it is quite a reasonable price.  


After using the scrub i definitely think i should start looking out for other products not just pink ones !
This is a great scrub for men as well as women so is great for you and your partner to use. 
I am definitely going to re purchase this when i run out and am so glad it popped up in my gift box otherwise i wouldn't have tried it ! 

Have you tried the scrub ? What do you think about using it in your hair !?  please leave your comments :)

You can but this product at your nearest store or at LUSH
