LUSH TRIO | The Sound Bath & Lush Spa Treatments

I've had a lot of tension in my shoulders and upper back recently and being a singer and focusing on my posture a lot of the time, I need to get that tight and sore feeling removed. I was looking up different places to get massages and of course there was Neal's Yard Remedies but I also came across Lush's Spa Treatments, something I'd never heard of. Their spa treatments are so original and unbelievably well thought out and their masseuses are trained to within an inch of their life to really give you the best massage possible. There are so many that I want to try but I thought I'd mention three of my favourite ones in this post.

The Tailor Made - £40

This massage is very like The Good Hour (an hour long massage focusing on aches and pains all over the body). It lasts for only 30 minutes though and focuses on a particular area of the body that you're having trouble with - perfect for me and my shoulders! This massage has a sea theme which I think is perfect because I've always found the sea and the ocean to be very calm and thoughtful places. The inventor of this massage uses particular movements developed by him which would just make this massage so much more original than all the others. Plus, each massage is accompanied with a calming playlist of sea shanties in the background!

The Sound Bath - £65

This next treatment is one that I am dying to try! If I had a spare sixty five pounds on my right now I would be there! This treatment is an hour long and is completely and utterly unique with the use of ear candles and tuning forks. It's intended to give you a meditative state and remove everything from your brain so you can just relax and feel just 'you'. When you arrive you are seated in a rustic looking kitchen with your therapist and given this wooden box with a little vial inside and special mushroom (I'm 'deadly' serious!) with the words 'Eat me' and 'Drink me' on them. Just like in Alice in Wonderland. The treatment moves you to another world and your head and face are massaged to clear your sinuses and remove all the impurities from your mind. The composer believes that the music we hear in every day life prevents us from truly meditating and he has specially composed pieces for the treatment which return to the purity of music. This treatment is perfect for people who don't like to have their bodies touched by strangers. I found out about this massage from one of the Lush Times and I want to have one so badly! I really need it right now.

The Validation Facial - £75

This treatment targets your face only and was created to make you feel confident and beautiful and ready to achieve anything with a range of Lush's face products. It is slightly pricey but you are given a consultation to select the right products. The facial is accompanied with beautiful music with words woven into the music specially made to make you feel confident and on top of the world. The music includes the beautiful rocking sound of the sea at Dorset captured by the co founder himself Mike Constantine. I really really want this facial, it sounds utterly amazing and relaxing and I could do with a push in the motivation department! Each treatment is intended to be a magical journey and I love this because it's so different from the usual massage you get where you're just plonked down and started on right away. These treatments are more of a relaxed caring process.

I hope you liked knowing about Lush Spa guys, I wouldn't be surprised if a few of you didn't know it existed and I'm desperate to try some of these treatments out! There are Lush Treatment Spas in Edinburgh, Kingston, Leeds, Liverpool, London Chelsea and Poole. The treatments are a bit pricey but for the overall experience and the care and attention to detail it's hardly that much. After all, you can't put a price on happiness!

LUSH TRIO | Dragon's Eggs and Lattes

I hope the moment you see the Lush logo it makes your legs go a little jelloid and a smile break across your face because that sure happens to me. The sweet luxurious aroma of their bath bombs and the natural pure smell of their face masks makes me turn cartwheels and so here are three posts all dedicated to Lush and its wonders.

I got my pay check on Friday and with my friend Beth, marched into Lush to spend my hard earned cash. I came across these gorgeous little lip tint pots. I'd never really looked at Lush's make up and the colour of Latte was just to die for.

I think Latte is fairly new on the market and the colour is just gorgeous. It's a deep bronze shimmer with a touch of pink and normally I wouldn't go for brown lip colours but the fact it has pink in it makes it good for paler skin tones as well as Asian and dark skin. 

What I love the most is that this new lip tint includes Lush's new source of Fairtrade Vanilla from Uganda and also surprisingly the price. You'd think that £5.75 was quite a lot for such a small pot but compared with other lip products on the market it's actually very reasonably priced and a little goes a massively long way. I'm also completely supportive of how natural their ingredients are and how much work it takes to make a little pot of love.

I also happened to pick up a new bath bomb. I've misplaced my Sunnyside bubble bar somewhere *sad face* and I needed something new to make my bath all sassy. 

I LOVE Dragon's Egg. It's everything you'd want in a bath bomb. It makes your bath a beautiful white creamy treat (kinda reminds me of how Cleopatra's asses milk bath used to look like! - and inside the bomb is popping candy, different swirls of colour and beautiful little paper dragon scales. Bizarre but lovely.

BEST BOOTS THIS SEASON | Dune | Russell & Bromley | Kurt Geiger | Topshop

From left to right: Okada, Paddys,  Steve Madden Teritory, Ploy, Toffee

Dune has a delicious selection of boots this season. I first had a little peek just before my work shift when I had a few minutes to spare and fell in love with some real beauties. These boots aren't the most expensive on the market but they are pretty pricey, however, for well made leather boots I think the price is perfectly reasonable.

The Okada (£160) is a beautiful grungy brogue boot. It looks wonderfully sturdy and would look very cute with ankle socks and baggy boyfriend jeans. 

I am in love with the Paddys (£85). They are the perfect ankle boot for me. Simple, a workable nutty brown leather and goes with everything as well as being very comfy! I think these babies are lovely and as good boots go they definitely aren't the most expensive.

Steven Madden is big in the US and I have heard a lot about his shoes. These Teritory (£115) boots are chic, a very autumnal and juicy berry shade and working a melange of straps and buckles which are definitely still 'in' when it comes to boots this season.

The Ploy (£115) is a style of boot that is everywhere this season. A relaxed ankle boot with a couple of straps at the back below the ankle. This boot is perfect for those cold but dry days and the slight opening at the side allows for air to circulate around the foot. Nothing worse that tight sweaty feeling feet!

The Toffee (£149) is a riding boot and these are everywhere. It's tall, well fitted and has a buckle at the back for a bit of edge. The perfect pair of rainy day boots that would go with any outfit.

From left to right: Jagger, Orchid-Dry, Zip-Up, 50-50, Zena

Russell & Bromley is know to be a fabulous boot shop with good quality styles. It isn't the most pocket friendly shoe shop but the boots are very very well made and very stylish.

The Jagger (£395) is a gorgeous ankle boot in the style of a cowboy boot which is popular this season. It reminds me of Pirates of the Caribbean and the buckles and strings just make these babies such a statement. I would literally purchase them in a heartbeat if it wasn't for the hefty price tag.

The Orchid-Dry (£295) is actually a pair my sister purchased last winter. They are still around this season which goes to show how attractive they are. She loves them, the leather is beautifully crafted and they are by far the comfiest boots she's ever bought. They looks great on any size too.

The Zip-Up (£165) is essentially a shoe boot with a heel and these are everywhere. These are more of the simple boots you can find on the market and I think they work really well as work shoes for horrible rainy days. Perfect to keep your tootsies cosy!

Multiple material is very common the catwalk at the moment and 

the 50-50 (£395) has a mixture of black suede leather and a comfy stretchy material. The front panel moves all the way up the leg over the knee and this style is quite common on the high street at the moment. I think strangely enough, these boots can be perfect for women not too confident with their knees! I really don't like my knees and dread to imagine what they'll look like when I'm older!

The Zena (£275) has a lovely individual quilted pattern along the side of the boot. This grungy buckle type of boot has been around since the spring/summer season and it looks to be popular through autumn and winter too! These look hot with skinny jeans.

From left to right: Bonjour, Strike, Vanessa, Bedina, Shard

  I love Kurt Geiger. Their stilettos are beautiful and I popped in yesterday for a cheeky gander and their boots this season are to die for. A mixture of punky Miley Cyrus boots with grungy gold detailing and harsh lines. 

The Bonjour (£90) is almost everything I'd desire in a boot. The tough high heel for height and terrible weather. The straps and buckles that break up the heaviness of the boot and the gold detailing which I think makes any shoe look expensive. These boots are just gorgeous.

There are heavy gold chains everywhere on the high street now. They seem to have migrated from our necks to our toes! The Strike (£160) are a prime example. These ankle boots are perfectly simple black leather apart from a heavy gold chain over the arch of the foot. I'm undecided with these boots and I think I'd have to be in a particular mood to wear them but I quite like them all the same.

The Vanessa (£195) is a boot very reminiscent of Russell & Bromley's 50-50. The mixture of materials has arrived again and these boots are a little more slim lined and happily enough a lot cheaper!

The Wild West and cowboy attire is definitely inspiring this season's footwear. The Bedina (£190) is definitely influenced by cowboys but has a slightly more mature look to it. Perfect for more mature women who like that style but don't want to look like an actual cowboy! I love the slight ombre effect with the leather also.

The Shard (£170) is definitely a boot that makes me think of Miley Cyrus! I love the heavy gold buckled detailing. I know it isn't everyone's cup of tea but I just had to include these. They are definitely fun adolescent boots and would look lovely with some clothes from American Apparel and Urban Outfitters.

From left to right: Astrix 40, Gripped 75, Mania Shearling 38, Apache 90, Hunter Tall 85

I felt I had to include some cute boots on the high street with a slightly cheaper price tag. Boots are so expensive! 

The Astrix (£40) is considerably cheaper than many of the boots in the post and actually it makes them quite a steal! The big heel is very 'in' at the moment as is the floral material.

I love the Gripped (£75) boots. They are so chic and feminine and these stiletto boots are everywhere at the moment as is this gorgeous aubergine colour. 

Now for you loves out there who just like some comfy chilled out flat boots with a sassy bit of fur, these are perfect! The Mania Shearling (£38) boots are perfect and very indie which is quite rare on the high street now in boots. They are also velvet which is so luxurious and a great talking point. And of course, velvet is everywhere right now!

I am in love with these Apache (£90) boots. They would not suit me but they are genuinely gorgeous. The cut outs work so well and don't prevent them from being boots since the chunky heel protects the shoe in puddles. The patent red colour is very Christmassy and I just love them so much in general. So grungy.

The last pair of boots is this gigantic post are the humble but still very popular Tall Hunter (£85) wellies. You can purchase these in many places not just Topshop but I found such an adorable bright red pair on their website. If your boots have holes in them, are painful, are lost, or you just haven't got round to buying a pair, the trust Hunter welly is always there for festivals and those wet and rainy walks in the park with your blessed pooch. Perfect.

So guys, that was a HUGE post but I hope it gave you a bit of insight into the beautiful boots on the high street this season. Happy choosing! Love you guys:
