Lush Haul


This time I'll talk briefly about these amazing Lush products. I got Pop in the bath bubble bar, Melting Marshmallow bath melt and Dragon egg ballistic.

Pop in the bath has a very "clean" smell, like baby powder. It actually reminds me of Body Shop's White Musk fragrance in a way. It's a lovely bubbler bar, but it's a pity when you have to crumble it in the bath, because they look so cute. As all the bath products from Lush I've tried out, this one also leaves your skin smooth and moisturized. You can find them in different colours, mine was blue, white and pink; but my mother, who also bought one, was green, white and pink. I've noticed that Lush products differ from country to country, they're not always the same exact product, because they're handmade and they're sometimes different depending of the country you're in. 


Melting Marshmallow bath melt...this one was veeery nice. It has the exact same smell as the Lush Bubblegum lip scrub, so the scent is sweet, like cotton candy, bubblegum or marshmallows and you just have to put it under water and slowly it begins to melt. Your bath water turns pink and it smells as if you were bathing in Willy Wonka's factory.


Dragon Egg is an amazing ballistic with a subtle citric smell. It's white on the outside with colourful confetti, notice that the confetti is not paper but an enviromentally friendy product that disolves in the water (it turns like a sort of jelly in the end); underneath it's orange, similar to a boiled egg haha, but the best part comes in the inside! It's got a small cube of golden glitter and shimmer! It was amazing to see how it disolved in the water, it's like a having a birthday party in your bath tub!! I reaaaaaaaally loved this one and I highly recommend it! 


Thanks for reading ;)
Bye bye!

St.George's Food Market


Here in Cape Town there is a big tradition of markets, specially food markets. One of the most famous, and also one of my favorites, is in St. George's street, right in the city center of Cape Town. The market receives the name of the street in which it's settled, as you can see, so if you're travelling around Cape Town, and you want to eat while in town, you must go to St.George's street and check out the food market. You can find many different types of food, from chinese, greek, indian to local food, including cakes and desserts, spices, nibbles, juices, etc. Even though it's a "food market" you can also buy beautiful flowers for a really good price, which I highly recommend you should buy or at least have a look at. We (my mom and I) bought lovely multicolour poppies from the flower stole and for lunch I tried the chinese food and It was quite good. I bought noodles (the best!), a spring role and a mochi filled with red bean paste which I really enjoyed. The prices are very good, as per usual in South Africa, I find food very cheap in this country, which I love because I enjoy food soooo much.

The market was quite empty because of the bad weather, but usually it's very busy and has a great vibe. For those who are vegeterian, vegan or extra healthy you can buy delicious vegan or vegetarian food, an amazing variety of nuts and spices, natural juices made with fruit and veggies and gluten free desserts. As you can see, there is a big variety of products and the market suits any kind of diets or needs. You must definitely visit St. George's food market if you are in Cape Town. Here are just some quick shots I took of the food and flowers, I couldn't include all of them.














Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed!
See you next time :)
