Bath Time Essentials| Review



My Bath Time Essentials 



When i run a bath i purposely run one to relax and wind down from a busy day at work or just running around so here a few of my bath time essentials.



Lush Turkish Delight shower smoothie: This shower smoothie is full of cocoa butter and almond oil to nourish your skin and make it so soft as well as leaving your body feeling fully cleansed.


Avon Moroccan Argan oil: Any shampoo with moroccan argan oil in is just a bliss, but recently i've been loving this one from avon. It leaves your hair soft and nourished also it gets rid of that 'raggy' feeling.



Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Body Scrub: This body scrub leaves your body smooth and feeling new, the smell just tops of the product a sweet smell with a sense of nutty smell in there. Honestly get yourselves down to boots to smell this its amazing.

Soap & Glory Smoothie Body Milk: After a good bath you need to apply a good moisturiser to keep your skin moisturised and replenished. This moisturiser is the most nourishing moisturiser i've ever had and the smell just tops it off it reminds me of breakfast "it makes me want to eat it" obviously you can't eat it as it wouldn't taste very nice and could harm you.


Starlytes Candle: Finally you can't have a relaxing bath without a candle, this one is starlytes candle in vanilla cupcake the starlytes candles are made from soya and are such a nice smell this was £5.

Favourite Iphone apps| lifestyle


Being constantly on the go my Iphone apps are like heaven to me as i don't have much time on my laptop anymore with constantly commuting to work or having a busy weekend. My iphone is my saviour, so I thought i would do a blog post on my favourite iphone apps to show you what i use on a daily basis.


Firstly theirs Blogger, as i don't get to go on my laptop very much anymore due to my job i do most of my blogging from my phone and edit it when i get back as quickly as i can. I travel an hour and a half every day to work and back so i have a lot of free time to get all my blogging done and write down my blogging ideas. So if your constantly on the go like me i suggest you get the blogger app as its just so much easier.


If your like me and constantly love taking pictures of memories or just pretty scenery or objects then instagram is the best app for you (even thought most of the population have it already) but if you don't then i guarantee it will be the best download you make all year and to top it off its FREE! If you would like to follow my instagram its @laurenread1995



I remember the days when twitter wasn't cool and nobody really had it but now it seems like everyone's tweeting and mainly from their phones. I prefer the app to the laptop version as i just find it easier to use, so i'm constantly checking twitter while on my phone. If you would like to follow my twitter its @Lauren_Read i'd love to follow some new twitters and especially blogger ones


Next is pinterest, i love this app to look for photography inspiration and to just look at some really pretty pictures most of the time. I also look for tattoo ideas as i'm planning my next tattoo and they have a lot of photos of tattoos so it can give you some great ideas to make.


We heart is the last of my favourite apps, this is just like pinterest but it has different pictures so if you want apps to look at pretty pictures or give you ideas then we heart it and pinterest are the apps for you.
