Best Moisturizers for Extra Dry Hands

Anyone who works in a healthcare setting (or anywhere else that requires frequent, intense hand washing) knows that there's nothing worse (and more common!) than dry, cracked hands. I have had such a hard time dealing with this problem and I've tried out so many hand creams trying to find the best of the best; fast absorbing, non greasy, intensely moisturizing and safe for sensitive skin. I've found quite a few great creams and I thought I'd share my favourites! These are all ones that I swear by and are also safe for sensitive and eczema prone skin. If you have really dry hands or are washing your hands frequently and need a good moisturizer to keep your hands soft and lovely, these are definitely ones to try. In no particular order....... Lush - Formulae Known As (AKA the old Charity Pot) I love this stuff! I picked up one of these the first ever time I shopped at Lush and I've been repurchasing it ever since. It smells so nice (kind of like chocolate!) but

Bedroom Decorating Inspiration

Now that the semesters over and I finally have a little free time, I've decided that it's time that I start redecorating my bedroom. This is something that is VERY overdue (I haven't redecorated my room since I was about 11 years old...) and I'm really excited to get things going. But its also proven to be SO frustrating... I spent a lot of time on Pinterest, finding inspiration, and it's honestly helped me so much and given me so many ideas. I thought I'd share some of my favourites here! I'm loving the tufted headboard look and I'm definitely thinking of going for a very pale colour on my walls (a pale purple maybe?). Anyone else planning on doing some redecorating? What kind of style do you like? Also, would you be interested in seeing the final product of my redecorating project? Let me know in the comments! Hope you're all having a lovely day! xo

My Top 5 Favourite Lush Bath Bombs!!

After a long day, there's nothing quite like taking a warm, relaxing bath. So why not make it even nicer with a bath bomb? I've tried quite a few of Lush's bath bombs, so I thought I'd make a list of my Top 5 favourite ones! In no particular order... Sex Bomb This was the first bath bomb of theirs that I ever tried and I'm still in love. It makes your bath water a gorgeous pink colour and leaves your skin super soft and silky smooth. It has a very floral scent (jasmine, clary sage and ylang ylang) which I personally love (its not for everyone though, so do give it a smell and see if you like it!). Bonus: the scent lingers on your skin for a while after so you smell really great!! Butterball I literally buy one of these every time I go to Lush. Its not the most exciting of bath bombs, colour wise but its so amazing. It smells like vanilla (and anyone who knows me will know that I'm a total sucker for vanilla scented anything), but the main thing ab
