Mini Christmas Lush Haul

I love Lush all year round but when it comes to their seasonal products being released each year, I get so excited and usually spend a lot of my time in store, 'umming' and 'ahhhing' over which ones to get! I didnt think much of the Halloween range this year but I always love the Christmas products! I usually get a few Lush bits as Christmas presents so I didn't go overboard on this particular trip (there will most likely be another trip during the week as I can never resist when passing by!!).  Here are the goodies I picked up... (The Magic of Christmas Bubble Bar just looks magical and I'm most excited to try this one- although slightly worried about the state it will leave my bath in with all that glitter!!)




What are your favourite Lush Christmas products (new or old)?

Christmas Market- Weekend Away

This weekend, we decided to go away and visit some different Christmas Markets to get us in the festive spirit and it did just that! We decided to take a trip to Bristol, stay there for one night and then explore Bath the next day.
I had only been saying recently that I feel like I should visit more places in my country as I really haven't been to many of the well known cities apart from London and tend to stick to going back to the same places. I might make a list of all the places in England I'd like to visit next year and make an effort to tick them off! 

Bristol Christmas Market was right in the center by the shopping quarter. We did do quite a bit of Christmas shopping in the shopping center as the market wasn't huge and a lot of the stalls shut early. The first thing we looked for when we got to the Christmas Market was Currywurst as our local town's market didn't do it and many only do Bratwurst. We found some and it was like heaven (although nothing can beat a proper Currywurst from a market in Berlin). The market had a few nice stalls including a fudge pic n mix which we definitely couldn't miss out on! 
In the evening, we went to a restaurant called ZaZa Bazzare which is basically a massive (and I mean masssssssive!!) all you can eat buffet with lots of different stations including a nacho station, european (pizza, pasta, cottage pie etc), Asian station and so on! It was great and we definitely ate far too much! 

There's something about old towns that just make me feel happy. The drive into Bath was stunning. Some parts were pretty high up on hills so the view around us was so clear and you could see so much. When we got there, we hit the Christmas market (after I made an 'accidental' purchase in Mac hehe) and kept warm with hot Apple and Cinnamon drinks, Mulled Wine and Roasted Chestnuts. The market here was huge and extremely busy but it was a little more festive and picturesque than Bristol. It's just nice to go somewhere where everyone is in good spirits and also supporting local small businesses! 

It was a lovely weekend, and although very busy, a much needed break! I would definitely like to go back to both Bristol and Bath and explore more when we have more time. 











What is the best Christmas Market you have visited?
