As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff
My gifts arrived quite a while ago, packaged in some really festive Christmas Pudding wrapping paper and I really had to resist the urge to open them, I always used to be one of those kids that would feel around and try to work out what a present was when I had to wait to open it, haha! My Secret Santa was Eloise who blogs over at The Longing Wanderer. She absolutely nailed my gifts and I couldn't be happier with them so I can't thank her enough!
Firstly I opened two bath bombs which smelt amazing even before opening them, I quickly recognised that they were from Lush which really excited me as I love their products. I received the 'Luxury Lush Pud' which is a Christmas classic and one I always like to use, as well as the new 'Cheery Christmas' bath bomb which is so pretty. I always enjoy colourful bath bombs and plus they smell so good too, so am definitely looking forward to using these!
Next, I opened a set of two travel notebooks which will be perfect for detailing all my adventures. It was so nice of Eloise to put so much thought into the gifts as she saw that I hope to travel! I also really like the design of the notebooks, I think the background of the map is really cool and the quotes are obviously perfect for travelling!
I also received a Shearer Candle in the scent 'Cinnamon Spice' which couldn't have been a better choice for me, it's the perfect scent for Christmas and I can't wait to burn it. I've not tried any of the Shearer Candles before but I really like the packaging and love the blue colour of this one. I'll definitely be checking out their other ones now, thanks to Eloise!
Lastly, I was given a set of Watercolour Brush Pens which was something I put on my wishlist so was so pleased to open it. I really enjoy being creative and want to experiment more with calligraphy so have had my eye on these for a while now. There is a great range of colours and I love working with watercolour so I'll definitely enjoy using them over Christmas!
Once again, a massive thank you to Eloise for these amazing gifts as I love them all and was definitely lucky to have you as my Secret Santa. I would really like to be a part of the Bloggers Secret Santa next year as I also really enjoyed buying gifts to send to another lovely blogger too, I'm not sure if she's opened them yet so I won't spoil anything but hopefully, she likes them!
