I'm loving... Alt-j

Recently I have been loving listening to music all the time!

In particular Alt-j, now if you are have a similar taste in music to me (apparently its called alternative..) you may have heard of them but not many people that I know, know them although I thought people  should know them.

I think they have only ever released one album called "an awesome wave" but all the tracks are amazing. The album is £4.99 for 14 tracks on I tunes and there is also a deluxe version for £9.99 with 44 tracks!!! My particular favourites are breeze blocks, something good and Leon. The vocals are really great and a bit different, the music is different but I really like it. There is no strong drum beats to the songs because apparently they had to practice when they lived at uni so they had to keep the noise down meaning that the music has a nice twist.

 

I would also recommend checking out the video for Breezeblocks and then watching it in reverse as it is so clever! Fun fact- Alt-J are also known as a triangle shape as on a Apple mac OS X pressing alt and then j makes a triangle.

 

Have you ever heard of Alt-J, or do you love them like me, either way I would check them out.

Little christmas lush haul!

Helloooo! I know I have been a crap blogger and went against literally everything I said in my last blog post, so for that I am very sorry. On with the post... Now I went to lush, this is a regular occurrence so I have to force myself to buy just a few things each time so that I don't end up with no money what so ever, because I'm telling you it would happen! I just think they are all so nice in there, everything is so pretty and amazing. I just get a little carried away. I might do a little series of lush hauls so here we go with No.1.

I got two things from the Christmas range, bombardino and candy mountain but before I get onto that if you have not been into a lush at Christmas time yet you must run to the nearest one now! They have the cutest products, amazing gift sets and the soaps are incredible, In my opinion angels delight is the best, it is a giant circular soap with a large moon and bright pink colours on the other half. You have to see it to believe it but it really is amazing! In my local lush they have already bought in the Christmas packets which are a lot more colourful compared to the black or yellow usual ones. They also have a two/from on the back, this will be great for little Christmas presents for friends or family.

On to the first thing I got, the Bombardino bath bomb. I was drawn to this because it looks like a really sweet little creature thing, To me this smells slightly lemony and I find it to be quite a soft creamy scent. Lush says "Sit back and relax in a bath of creamy Alpine indulgence. With skin-softening cocoa butter and uplifting Sicilian lemon oil." I can not wait to try this as reviews say it is really softening and relaxing. This little guy retails for £2.50, about in the middle of the bath bomb price range.

 My second item In this little haul Is Candy mountain, and yes unicorns do come to mind (that video is so annoying and I'm truly sorry if you actually clicked the link and watched it.). This is a bubble bar that costs £2.65, not bad for this incredibly sparkly sweet scented delight. Basically this has the exact same scent as the famous snow fairy shower gel, so if you like that you will love this too! I love any thing sparkly, I also love the shape this is I think this is a bit different to the other bubble bars.

 

 Bubble bars are my favourite, I much prefer them to bath bombs although both are fab. In case you don't know with a bubble bar you take a bit and crumble it under running water, mountains of fluffy scented bubbles appear that last the whole bath. Bubble bars are also great as they can be cut up and used multiple times, I will probably use this about 2-3 times. Lush says "The fair trade vanilla absolute, sparkling snowflake lustre and creamy corn flour in Candy Mountain make bath time a sweet treat for big kids as well as little kids. We’ve included some of our bubble crumble mix which adds a magical pink mist to the peaks of foaming bubbles." I basically think this is fab.

So there goes my first lush haul, the first of many I'm sure! What is your favourite Christmas lush product! A little secret for you: I already have more lush things lined up to review so wait around for that soon.
