There's nothing that can beat the simple luxury of a hot bubble bath, in my opinion. When the cold has seeped into your bones, you've had a long and stressful day, or you need some help drifting off to sleep, a bath is always the answer. I've been a huge fan of the Lush bath bomb range for a long time. I can't actually use bath bombs anymore - they irritate my sensitive skin - but James loves them

I have never done a wish list on this blog, but since my birthday's coming up and I seem to have spent a lot of time window shopping online recently, I thought it was about time! Do you ever think about what you would do if you won a million pounds? I do, and I think I would spend a lot of money on a shopping spree.

I've put together a giveaway package of some of my favourite things

It's short enough to be not-too-formal but long enough to be classy - being tall, most mini dresses are super short on me! You can't go wrong with blue

As you may or may not know I've been a vegetarian for almost three years now. It's something I'm very committed to, and I try to only buy products which aren't harmful to animals (or people!) It's not until recently, though, that I've given much thought to my choice of cosmetics. I read blog posts by Chelsea and Libby which pointed out that some cosmetics are still tested on animals.
