Hey honey-buns, now I know what your thinking... spring?! In the middle of autumn!?
Well, yes. I am working on a little project and this will provide me with a great deal of help and I thought you might like to join in? I'll be posting these daily if I get any feedback from you guys?!(: It's just something quick and fun to do when your bored...
Sooo think spring and GO!
Do you LOVE or HATE...
Bows? Leggings? Peach blush?
The question is...
What fashion accessory will you be showing off this spring?!
So.. for my birthday I got this delightful little LUSH Giftbox:

If you follow me on instagram: LULUBALOOLUXO, you might know that on friday I tried out one of the amazing bath ballistics.
Anyway, Friday came and I really felt that I needed to unwind, relax and drift off somewhere away from the chores of daily life, so, obviously a bath was certainly on the menu. However, I was bored of 'normal-people-bubble-bath'!
Off I went to my little, fairly untidy- (I must admit), bedroom only to find it in a little pile of things near my desk. I decided I wanted to use the 'Think Pink Bath Bomb' because I thought it would bring a little excitement to bathe in a pool of hot pink and so I grabbed the little bath bomb and safely eposited on the side of the bath while I got into my birthday suit! :D
Getting closer to the point, here's how I made my bath lovely, pretty and PINK!
I filled up the tub- fairly deep, because I hate feeling the cold on my shoulders, peeking above the water, that and to start off with I made it scolding hot and some cold was definitely needed!
Anyway, a little piece had already broken off so I threw it in and watched it dissolve in seconds, but I was really happy with it as the colour didn't spread out well and it was a very light pink! I grabbed a hair teasing brush, (the nearest thing to hand), and I began grinding up the side of the ballistic with the handle of the brush as I watched the specks of pink dust fall into the warm water and create a beautiful bright pink after using less than a quarter of the bomb! AMAZING!
At first I was a little frustrated because there were little dots of pink at the bottom of the tub that weren't dissolving no matter how much I swished my hand through the water, until I took a closer look and discovered that they were in fact the most adorable little confetti hearts!
When I got in the bath it the water had a silky feeling to it which put me at ease instantly after a looong day! Also, I expected the little hearts that had fallen from the bath bomb to feel a little gritty but I couldn't feel anything!
When I got out of my little piece of temporary paradise my skin felt soo smooth and well, LUSH! Infact it still feels wonderful right now! I totally reccommend this especially if you're feeling itchy, one of the most annoying side effects I get, but at least I found a little bit of a cure!
Todays post is a little different from what I'm used to and before I start blabbering on about it, I just wanna let you know this is not a 'sympathy-search' and if these posts don't interest you then please don't feel you have to read them. That's not the case. I decided to write these kinds of posts because I know there are people who may be able to relate to them in some way, shape or form! So here it is...
I have Autoimmune Liver Disease and I am currently waiting for a Liver transplant. I feel like I made this announcement in such a dramatic way, but seriously, this thing doesn't bother me at all! :D
Now, you're probably thinking 'What the hell is she talking about?!' Well, the only way I can explsain it is like this: Right, your immune system attacks a cold you may of caught but for me, my immune system attacks my liver as if it was a cold meaning that a scar is forming along it.
I have had this for probably since I first came into the world but I didn't discover it until February last year, when I was thirteen.
Here's the full story:
So, as I mentioned in the video I have to take many tables but, the one that really stands out in my mind is what I personally think is the worst. It makes my face swollen and for me, that's not a good look, but I try not to let it hold me back and I just try and use the best possible contouring techniques, haircuts/ styling and clothing to create a slimmer, more defined look... though by no means do you need any of this- the fact that you aree different is what makes you beautiful- honestly!
On to the more positive side of things, I can truly say this has made me stronger, though I was pretty strong anyway, there's probably very little you can throw at me now and I am quite proud of that now I think about that; it makes me feel safe.(:
Last quick little thing, I was diagnosed with diabetes in January as a side effect of the same tablet that makes my face swell, I don't really like having diabetes as I just feel it gets in the way when I just want to sit down and eat without having to go through the little bloodtest and insulin jab but, hey, it keeps me going and it doesn't bother me too much!(-: The good thing is it motivates me to eat healthy and keep those extra pounds off! HA!(;
So.. I hope this didn't come across as a boring, upseting, depressing post but I will keep you updated anyway... speaking of updates...
Currently, as I said, I am waiting for a Liver Transplant and at the moment the doctors are doing tests on my mum because she may be able to donate me a piece of her liver. My dad also volunteered and he went through the tests also but a certaing factor meant that he could not go ahead and have the op' unfortunately!
So you're probably thinking, 'Well how can anyone live with just half of a liver?!' The liver is actually amazing!!! It is the only organ you can cut of it will grow back! Infact, you can take 9/10 of the liver away and it will have grown back to it's full size in the matter of a few months!!!
So yeah, I hope you weren't bored to death by this post!(;
