a pink bottle of mist you madly body spray
So a few weeks ago I ran out of perfume. I wear perfume most days so I get through a lot of it and it doesn't come cheap. Usually I will have nice scents bought for me for Christmas or my Birthday so I usually just wait until then to get something new. As my birthday is just over a month away I decided to put off buying anything expensive and purchase some cheap body spray. 
After a little browse in boots I discovered Soap & Glory stock a nice selection of scents so I decided I wanted to test one out. I love Soap & Glory products, I use them all the time, especially their Hand Food moisturizer. After spraying a few of them I opted for 'Mist You Madly' in the 100ml size. This side retails at an amazing £4 which I think is an absolute bargain.a close up shot of the body sprayThe body spray comes in a cute little pink bottle that just shouts 'I'm a Soap & Glory product!'. It's the perfect size for me as I can just pop it in my handbag and its 100ml so I would have no problems taking it in my hand luggage if I were to go on holiday. 
The scent itself is very sweet and not something I would usually go for but for some reason I was drawn to it. On the website the body mist is described as 'an opulent floral spray with a glamorous twist. The scent is almost sickly but fresh at the same time, like a flower shop full of exotic plants. The product contains a range of oils from Patchouli to Bergamot, as well as notes of Freesia and Magnolia. The body mist also contains Vanilla which surprised me I literally cant stand anything Vanilla scented, but I can't smell it at all in this product.a close up shot of the label on the mist you madly body spraySince I've bought it I haven't really left the spray at home, it's always in my bag ready to be used. I love the mixture of sickly floral scents and I would not hesitate to repurchase this product. I would love to try out the other scents in this range as they are very affordable and just as strong as perfume. I think it's a good sized product, although I would love to see them come out with a bigger version I could leave at home.

I really enjoy using the Soap and Glory Mist You Madly body spray and I would easily give it a 9/10.


                      Have you tried any of the Soap & Glory body sprays?

SOAP AND GLORY MIST YOU MADLY

looking down at 3 lit candles in jars

I'm a big fan of scented products, if it smells nice I want it, so it should come as no surprise that I am also a candle hoarder. My room is full of all sorts of half used candles, big ones, small ones, some in jars, some on stands, I have a lot. Every few months I will be temped into buying new candles without ever finishing the old ones, so saying I have a collection is a bit of an understatement. I'm actually on candle buying ban at the moment and noone is allowed to purchase them for me either as I am seriously running out of room. I know a lot of people, just like me love candles, after all they are relaxing and smell amazing! So I thought I would dedicate a post to my most recent favorite candles, no doubt I will have new ones to show you soon!

1. Amber & Lavender, Flamingo Candle - Before Christmas I had never even heard of Flamingo Candles, but after browsing one of their stalls at the Clothes Show Live, I became obsessed. I loved the packaging and everything about these new candles just screamed 'BUYME!'. I resisted temptation that time but when they had an online sale in January I lost all self control and treated me and Sean to some of the most beautiful scents imaginable. I opted for the Amber & Lavender and Sean went for something with Vanilla as usual. My candle reminds me of strong men's aftershave but in a good way. It such a prominent scent and I don't think I've ever known a candle that gives off a smell as powerfully as this one.

2. Ho Ho Ho, Our Own Candle Company - I picked up this adorable little thing on my latest holiday to Wales. We were staying just outside of Saundersfoot near Tenby. I love little Seaside towns like this as they have the cutest independent shops. I noticed a whole wall of these candles in a small homeware shop I was browsing. I'd never heard of the brand before but the candles were just too cute and I couldn't leave without buying one. There were so many scents to choose from, it took me ages to pick. I eventually opted for 'Ho Ho Ho' a Christmas candle. Although it's a very festive candle its scent reminds me more of old National Trust houses when they have a herb garden or a fire on in the kitchen. It's a gorgeous scent that I will happily inhale all year round.

3. Sicilian Lemon, Yankee Candle - There had to be a Yankee Candle in this list somewhere, they are just so well loved. I own a lot of Yankee Candles, they are easily the most popular and well known on the market. They do more scents than any other candle company I know and despite being rather pricey, I am more than happy to fork out on one. This is my most recent Yankee Candle purchase and easily my favorite. I decided I wanted a lemon scented candle and I knew I would get a good quality one from Yankee Candle. Little did I know that they actually have several lemon scented candles and I had to smell them all until I found the one I wanted. I chose Sicilian Lemon as its a beautiful sickly sweet scent that reminded me of Mediterranean holidays and lemon flavored gummy slices. This one really is happiness in a jar.

So those are my current favorite candles. I tried my best to describe their beautiful scents, each very different from the last. I try to never buy the same candle twice as I really love trying out new scents and discovering new candle company's. I'd love to hear about your favorite candles, for when I've exhausted some of mine and have made room for new ones!

I really enjoyed writing this post so let me know if you'd like to see more homeware or anything similar on the blog!

MY FAVOURITE CANDLES

A couple of weeks ago my family and I visited Berkeley Castle near Gloucester. We've always loved castles and wanted to go to one on our day off, so when I discovered this one had its own butterfly farm I knew this was the one we needed to visit.

We arrived just before 11am and headed straight to the butterfly farm. Adult Entrance is £10 for the castle and the butterfly house but you can pay for just the butterfly farm if you want. A little tip when paying, if you can, gift aid your ticket. It doesn't cost you any more but the people who run castle are able to claim money from the government to keep the place going and you get a free return ticket too.

Just after 11am we went into the butterfly house. I've always loved walking around butterfly farms in the zoo and I was just as happy be in this one. Its quite a small butterfly house but there were lots of butterfly's and they were happy to land on you, not something I've come across before. It didn't take too long for us to become ridiculously hot so we decided to move on to the actual castle.

By now it was lunch time so we grabbed a bite to eat before the next guided tour started. The tour was actually really good, it was a lot longer than I expected and the tour guide clearly loved his job and new a lot about the castle. There's a lot of interesting history and amazing architecture at Berkley, I'd really love to take Sean back to see it next time. It took about an hour and a half to go round the castle and I didn't feel rushed at all. After the tour we decided to have a little wonder about the grounds and sit by the fountain for a bit just enjoying the day.

infront of the pool which has a fountain. My sister is lying flat on the floor in front of the fountain, opening her mouth so that it looks as if the water is coming from her
looking up towards berkeley castle which is mostly visible apart from the edges which are covered by the trees


After walking around for a while we headed back to the butterfly house for one last look before making our way into Gloucester, I'd never been before and mom wanted to see the Cathedral. Churches don't really do it for me but mom loves the architecture and could spend hours looking at all the little details. After we'd had a look round the shops and let mom wander the Cathedral we headed to Tewksbury to grab some dinner.

BERKELEY CASTLE AND BUTTERFLY FARM

Sipsey Lingerie Store Front in Solihull
Some of the bras for sale inside Sipsey Lingerie

On Thursday night I was lucky enough to be invited down to the launch party for a brand new lingerie shop in Solihull, Sipsey Lingerie. The store which opened officially on Friday stocks a wide variety of luxury underwear for all shapes and sizes so that every woman can feel comfortable and supported. 



Upon entering the event that evening I was greeted by Elena the PR representative and Sukhy Nijjar the owner of the new boutique. Both women were extremely welcoming and happy to answer any questions I had about the store. Sukhy explained to me that before opening she did a lot of research and went to the Paris Trade show to handpick her favorite pieces for the shop. I loved the idea of this as you can see just how much she has put into the store and it gives it such a personal feel, unlike larger chain stores.

I also got to spend a bit of time with Elena who took me around the different sections and told me more about the individual brands on sale. I noticed there were many different styles available and the prices were also varied meaning there is something for everyone. Some of my favorite pieces on show were the beautifully delicate nude and neon L'Agent bras, a sister brand to Agent Provocateur. I also took a shine to the black cleavage enhancing Gossard bras shown in the last picture. 


Sispey also stock a lovely range of nightwear, something I didn't expect before I went to the event. From sexy skimpy little pieces to cute flannel sets they sell all styles. Another surprise to me whilst looking around was the range of perfumes for sale. On a small side table stood a display of Altearah Bio perfumes, a company I hadn't previously heard of. Each of their perfumes has its own colour which in turn has its own mood, and the colour you are most drawn to is the scent you should go for. I was lucky enough to receive a sample perfume that I'm sure I will review in time.

Just after 7pm the music was turned down and we listened to a speech from the Mayor of Solihull who was thrilled to have more independent shops opening in the city. It was then Sukhys turn to talk about how much the store meant to her and how grateful she is for everyone's help. After that we were treated to a short fashion walk displaying some of the best pieces from the range. Although they looked beautiful on the hangers it was nice to see how the lingerie actually fitted. 


As well as stocking a nice variety of lounge wear, nightwear, hosiery and shapewear Sipsey offer a personalized fitting service which I am hoping to put to the test in the future. 



Thank you to everyone at Sipsey Lingerie for such a lovely evening and a goodie bag full of treats, I hope to be back soon!
