Back in 2015, I blogged about The Body Shops festive range for that year, and I was blown away with the scents that they had produced for that season. Since then, I kind of forgotten about them, until recently an email popped up in my inbox with a discount code for the website that I needed to take advantage of. 40% off is crazy, but it definitely justifies a good haul!

Making an appearance for 2018 with...

Peppermint Candy Cane - Infused with the uplifting scent of peppermint candy canes. Strong and fresh minty aromas, with a hint of sweetness.

Vanilla Marshmallow - Enriched with vanilla extract from Madagascar, this sweet, warming and creamy range has the seasonal scent of sweet vanilla and marshmallows.

Berry Bon Bon - Enriched with cranberry seed oil from the floodplains of North America, this juicy and fruity seasonal scent that is packed full of delicious winter berries.

First up, festive bubble baths. Is there anything better than a hot bubble bath on a cold winter evening?! I don't think so. So I've picked up the Peppermint Candy Cane Bubbling Bath Foam & Vanilla Marshmallow Bubbling Bath Foam. These bubbling bath foams produce so many bubbles and fill the room with such strong, fresh aromas. You're bath will definitely be bubble heaven!

The Body Shop Christmas Berry Bon Bon Body Lotion

I've been completely obsessing with the Berry Bon Bon Body Lotion ever since my order arrived at my house. It's that good, I've already stocked up on 2 more bottles! The scent is just so fresh and fruity, it lingers on the skin for hours. The body lotion has such a rich, creamy formula, it feels so nourishing and moisturising on the skin. Enriched with Cranberry Seed Oil extract from North America, this keeps the skin feeling softer and smoother all day long.

The perfect handbag essential this season, and I've got both the Vanilla Marshmallow Hand Cream & Peppermint Candy Cane Hand Cream. With a light, non-greasy formula, these hand creams leaves your hands feeling softer and smoother. It works wonders for dry, winter skin! They are a great size for taking with you on-the-go or for travelling. They have become my new cold weather best friend.

I've used plenty of The Body Shops shower gels before and they are definitely one of the best that I've ever tried. One of my favourites is the Wild Argan Oil Shower Gel. That stuff is super moisturising on the skin and has such a unique, fresh scent. But for Christmas, I've picked up both the Berry Bon Bon Shower Gel & Peppermint Candy Cane Shower Gel. These shower gels lather up so well, you only need the smallest amount ever. The scents last on your skin for so long!

Overall, I'm super excited about the ranges that The Body Shop have brought out this year. I didn't think they could get any better, but this year they have definitely taken it to a whole new level! They've outdone themselves and literally combined all my favourite scents into their seasonal range for this year, it's just a shame they are always limited, as I would love these all year round. Especially the Berry Bon Bon Body Lotion and the Peppermint Candy Cane Bubbling Bath. If you're looking to try anything from the 2018 festive range, those are the 2 products I would highly recommend. They are INCREDIBLE!

As a lover of all things skincare, I always switch up my face masks. I usually use them 1-2 times a week, according to my skincare concerns and what I feel my skin needs. Recently my skin has had a few breakouts, probably from the constant changes in the weather, and I've needed something to help cleanse my skin thoroughly and make it look clearer and healthier.

I opted for The Body Shop Skin Clearing Tea Tree Face Mask; a skincare product suitable for those prone to blemishes, helping to soothe, calm and promote clearer looking skin

This the perfect face mask for those with an oily/combination skin type or those who need to deeply cleanse then skin. A clay mask infused with purifying Tea Tree, a powerful antibacterial ingredient, with healing properties, grown in the foothills of Mount Kenya, this is a great product for those with blemished complexions, that need a quick skin refresh, without leaving a tight or drying feel to the skin. This mask will help to clear any impurities whilst absorbing excess oils and sebum, leaving skin feeling smoother, softer, calmer and clearer looking.

"This instantly cooling face mask cleanses, soothes and refreshes the skin."

In terms of appearance and texture, this face mask from The Body Shop has a very thick and creamy consistency, with a soft, minty green colour. There is a definite Tea Tree scent, but nothing too overpowering. Upon application, I tend to use a flat brush to apply my masks to help get an even layer across my skin, the mask feels very smooth, with a slightly cooling and tingly sensation once applied.

As the mask begins to dry, you will still feel the skin tighten ever so slightly. This face mask from The Body Shop somehow manages to keep the skin feel hydrated, which is unlike any other clay mask I have used, as most of them tend to be super drying on the skin. Once fully dry, I simply remove with a warm flannel or muslin cloth, to reveal clean and refreshed skin, that looks revitalised and plumper.

I would highly recommend this Tea Tree Face Mask from The Body Shop to anyone suffering with blemishes, redness and impurities or those wanted to help control oil production on the skin.

Monthly favourites time has come around very quickly again, and I've made a huge list of things that I've loved throughout December. If I included everything on my list this time, we would be here all day reading about the products and items on my favourites list. Obviously Christmas was an overall favourite of mine, I love giving presents and celebrating with all my friends and family. As well as my nieces 1st birthday on Christmas Eve, which was really special. But I also had a list of mainly beauty favourites for the month, so let's see what I've been loving through December!

I mentioned both The Body Shops Berry Bon Bon Shower Gel and The Body Shop Berry Bon Bon Body Lotion in a recent post of mine - 2018 Festive Favourites from The Body Shop. It was definitely my favourite scent from the Christmas range that they released for 2018. Enriched with cranberry seed oil from the floodplains of North America, this juicy and fruity seasonal scent that is packed full of delicious winter berries. I've stocked up on both products as I really don't want them to run out any time soon! The scent is just so fresh and fruity, it lingers on the skin for hours. These shower gels lather up so well, you only need the smallest amount ever. The body lotion has such a rich, creamy formula, it feels so nourishing and moisturising on the skin

Another favourite of mine has been the Aussie Mega Shampoo. I mentioned this product previously in my Aussie Haircare Gems blog post and it's become a staple haircare product in my routine. Aussie is a brand that I repeatedly go back to as I know that their haircare works for my hair type and I really love the scent of all their products. The Aussie Mega Shampoo is the perfect product to use for hair that wants to be clean every day. This daily shampoo packed with Kangaroo Paw Flower extract, helps to cleanse the hair and scalp, and leaves you with beautiful, healthy shiny locks. The shampoo lathers up really well, so you can work it into the hair and scalp for a good, deep clean and get rid of any product build up.

Usually for work, I pick up the ALDI All Butter Croissants, as these are a perfect breakfast or snack for on the go. You can get them in a pack of 8 for just £1.09 which I think is super affordable and a great price to pay for a breakfast snack. Although very different from the traditional French croissant, these ALDI ones are very soft, rich and buttery. Super tasty and a great way to start the day, alongside your morning coffee.

For Christmas, I received a box of the Lindt Lindor Assorted Chocolates and I've already finished the entire box. Lindt is definitely one of my favourite chocolate brands. The truffles are incredibly smooth and delicious, you can't just stop at one. The assortment contains milk, extra dark, milk with hazelnut pieces and white chocolate truffles, all of these are to die for but my favourites are definitely the original milk truffle and the white chocolate.

Throughout December, my go-to fragrance has been the Ghost Eclipse Perfume. I've been wearing it pretty much everyday. The bottle itself is absolutely stunning. A rich orange coloured glass bottle in the shape of a crescent moon, with a rich gold cap. It's beautiful to look at, as well as the smell. A very playful and addictive scent, bursting with very fresh, fruity and floral aromas. With hints of fresh lemon, mandarin, apple and peach, it's a perfect fragrance for summertime, but I like it all year round!

It wouldn't be a December favourites post if I didn't include the Primark Cosy Socks. These are a staple of mine all year round, but I love to get new ones around Christmas time. Primark's Cosy Socks are one of the most comfortable, warm and cosy socks I have ever worn. I've got countless pairs of these in my sock drawer and they are something I repurchase time and time again as I cannot fault them whatsoever. At a bargain price of £1.80 for two pairs, it's extremely hard not to stock up on all the new colours and designs they have.

Another beauty favourite of mine has been the Dove Nourishing Care Shower Oil. This has been my shower staple, as well as The Body Shop Berry Bon Bon Shower Gel throughout December. The Dove Shower Oil has been the perfect product to keep my body hydrated and moisturised during the colder winter months. Infused with non-greasy Moroccan Argan oil, it cleanses, moisturises and protects from dryness to leave the skin feeling soft and smooth to the touch. It's a really lightweight oil, that lathers really well in the shower, followed by a gorgeous deep and rich Argan oil scent. Priced around the £5, it is definitely something I would recommend you to try if you suffer from dry skin during the winter.

Finally, how could I not include the 2018 Bloggers Secret Santa. This year, I opted to take part in a Secret Santa over on Twitter. I was kindly invited by Casey to join in with a 2018 Bloggers Secret Santa. I think they are a fantastic way of networking and meeting new people. It also gave me the opportunity to share my blog and chat with fellow bloggers who I would have never of known about. The Secret Santa was super easy to get involved in. There was an Elfster group set up, where everyone was matched to another individual taking part. You had the opportunity to make your own Wishlist's, so the person who was buying for you had a little idea of the things you would like and your interests.

As soon as I opened my gift box up, this was all I could smell. The first wrapped up gift was a Cupcake Bath Bomb with Red Berries. This filled my whole box with such a beautiful fresh and spa like scent. Secondly, I received The Body Shop Wild Argan Hand Cream. A Primark Home Sloth "Hang in There" Mug. Finally, I received both The Body Shop Green Tea Bath Bomb and Coconut Bubble Bar. I've wanted to try these for the longest time, yet I have never actually purchased them myself.

I had the pleasure of buying two Secret Santa gifts this year. Due to a few people dropping out from the gift exchange, I decided I would purchase for someone who didn't have a partner and I bought gifts for both Casey and Alicia. I had to do quite a lot of stalking on both the girls to find out what they liked, as well as using their Elfster Wishlist's to create the perfect Secret Santa gifts for them.

What have been your favourite things for December? Did you all have a great Christmas and New Year?

Way back in September I shared a blog post featuring some of my favourite Autumn haircare. Some of the products in this post I am still currently using to this day, and others I have replaced with something new. My Winter haircare routine is much more thorough and my hair needs all the hydration and nourishment to battle the cold, harsh weather. I've recently tried and tested some new haircare that I've added to my haircare routine, and that leave me with beautiful, shiny and healthy hair. Let's take a look, cause you'll need them too!

Soap and Glory Junk The Gunk™ Charcoal Shampoo

The most recent addition to my ever changing haircare routine has been the newly released Charcoal Cleansing Shampoo from Soap and Glory. It's unlike any other product I have ever used! Formulated with bamboo charcoal and apricot seed exfoliators, this helps cleanse and refresh the scalp as well as removing product build-up and leaving hair feeling ultra-cleansed. My hair looks nourished, healthy and bouncier! The first time I used this, it felt extremely weird, I could feel the small exfoliating bits being massaged into my scalp, but after a while you get used to it and it does a pretty good job. Scented with notes of grapefruit and bergamot, it leaves your hair smelling pretty damn good.

Aussie Scent-Sational Smooth Conditioning Mist

If you've read my previous haircare posts, you'll already know that I'm a massive fan of Aussie Haircare. They've recently brought out a few new haircare products that I just had to get my hands on, and I opted for the Aussie Scent-Sational Smooth Conditioning Mist. A perfect product to use that gives your locks a shiny boost and add gloss to every strand. It promises to leave your hair smelling delightful with a 48h scent-sational fragrance. I can smell this so strongly when I brush through my hair and it lingers all day long.

Siliscrub Scalp Brush

Something that I recently saw on Instagram and decided that I needed to see what all the hype is was the Siliscrub Scalp Brush. At first I thought this was a bit of a gimmick product, but after a few tries, I actually really enjoyed using it. It's built to exfoliate and cleanse the scalp, boost hair growth, eliminate dandruff, and get rid of scalp troubles. It uses soft silicone bristles to brush over the scalp whilst shampooing, and helps you to maintain a healthy scalp by gently lifting away dead skin cells and impurities, and increasing blood flow. It feels like a deep head massage and is the best way to shampoo your hair. It left my hair feeling a lot cleaner and much bouncier. I managed to get around 4 days without washing. I also noticed that my hair had less product build up in the roots, and didn't get greasy/oily as quick.

L'Oréal Dream Lengths Heat Mask

After discovering my love for the L'Oréal Dream Lengths haircare range, when I saw that they had released a new innovative hair mask, I was all over it! The mask itself follows a 2 step system: Step 1: features a thick balm that you apply from root to tip and leaves the hair feeling immediately nourished. I like to comb the product through so I am sure all my hair is completely covered in the mask. Step 2: A tissue cap infused with a self-heating lotion. You can leave this on for around 10 minutes, or longer if you want a deeper condition. From the very first application, the results were incredible. Silky soft, beautiful hair! Even my dry ends were no more! Would highly recommend!

The Body Shop Banana Mask

This absolute gem from The Body Shop has been my life saver this winter when it comes to haircare. It's been my go-to hair mask with amazing results after every single use. I tend to use this product once-a-week as a deep conditioning treatment, applying the Banana hair mask all over my hair, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends as this is where I see the most damage and dryness. Enriched with a blend of natural ingredients, including organic Banana puree from Ecuador and Brazil Nut oil from Peru. It leaves hair feeling intensely nourished from root-to-tip, banishes frizz and my hair looks instantly shinier and glossier, all without being weighed down. Another huge plus to this product is the scent. It takes me way back to my childhood of having Nesquik Banana milkshakes and foamy banana sweets. The smell is so fresh and fruity, it's insane.

Kicking things off this month in the beauty front, a haircare favourite of mine has been the OGX Kukui Oil Shampoo/Conditioner. This haircare duo is formulated to help hydrate and defrizz your hair, something I definitely need after my locks have taken a battering from this harsh, winter weather. I've noticed when I use this shampoo and conditioner, my hair definitely feels smoother and silkier, and just looks a lot shinier and healthy looking. Also I adore the scent of these, its what I'd think a tropical island would smell like, so sweet and fresh! I would highly recommend the Kukui range, as well as the other varieties OGX has to offer, as they work wonders for my hair and are super affordable!

Another beauty favourite this month has been The Body Shop Smoky Poppy Shower Gel, a product I have used in pretty much every bath/shower this month, and I'm so upset that is has finally run out. The scent of this is to die for, to me it's very manly, like an aftershave sort of smell, that I actually find really deep and sexy. The shower gel lathers up really well and leaves a slight scent on your skin once your out the shower, nothing to overpowering, just a slight linger. I really like The Body Shop shower gels as a whole, as I find the scents to be really lovely and fresh, affordable and they leave my skin feeling nourished and hydrated, without being too drying.

I love face masks. They are my favourite part of my skincare routine and I love trying and testing new ones, to see which ones work best for my skin type. Recently I had the opportunity to try out the AA Skincare Frankincense and Rose Deep Cleansing Face Mask. This specific mask features essential oils, these help to really nourish the skin and leave it feeling moisturised, leaving my skin feeling plump and bright, something it definitely needs with this cold weather, I want to look glowing and hydrated.

A new addition to my monthly favourites, but my favourite blogger of the month has definitely got to be Em from EmTalks. She is just all kinds of goals! I've really been enjoying reading her fitness and health posts, as these have really helped to motivate me and help me with my fitness routine and starting to adapt my lifestyle to lead a more fit and healthy life. As well as that, I love reading her blog on a daily basis as there is always something on there to read and catch up with, from food posts, beauty posts, travel and fashion, Em definitely has a blog that you should be following!

As a goal of mine in regards to my health and fitness, I've ditched the fizzy drinks and have been upping my water intake, as I felt I really lacked in this and it was definitely something I wanted to improve this year. As well as just drinking water, green tea is something that I've really been enjoying and the Twinings Pineapple and Grapefruit Green Tea is just perfect! I love that the flavour isn't so overpowering and you get the right amount of juicy pineapple and sharp grapefruit, that combine to make a really lovely tea, I am quite obsessed really and already have finished one box in the space of a week.

Something more fashion related here, I've been loving H&M Lace Bras. Lingerie is something that I write about much, as it is seen as quite a taboo subject, but we all wear it so why not share the love about lingerie you have been loving. The two bras that I featured in the image above are the two that I have purchased recently and I just love them. H&M bras are just so affordable and I find them to fit really well and flatter my body shape, plus they are super pretty and super comfortable!

Last but no means least, I have recently dug out a couple of lip products from my stash, and I have fallen back in love 100%. Enter the ELF Matte Lip Colours in Tea Rose and Praline. I've been loving nude lip shades this month, and these have been my go-to lips colours, Tea Rose is more of a pink toned nude, and Praline is more of a brown tone, both shades that I find really wearable and suited to my skin tone.

Way back in 2018, I posted my first Christmas Wishlist. This featured a selection of products from beauty to trainers to perfumes, and much more, and to be honest, nothing has really changed since then. This year, I still have some beauty gift sets, fragrances and trainers on my Wishlist and below are what I'm hoping to get for Christmas.

When it comes to perfumes and fragrances, I'm always after trying new scents and adding to my large collection. I like quite fruity, musky, fresh and sweet scents. Two perfumes on my Christmas list are Ariana Grande's Cloud and Paco Rabanne's Lady Million.

Ariana Grande Cloud - "Ariana Grande CLOUD opens with a dreamy top blend of alluring lavender blossom, forbidden juicy pear and mouth-watering bergamot. The heart features a whipped touch of crème de coconut, indulgent praline and exotic, vanilla orchid. Sensual musk and creamy woods fade out for a cashmere-like feeling that seduces the senses."

Lady Million - "Floral woody fresh - A trail of white flowers awakens the skin with fresh notes and exudes an intimate woody warmth. Honey and patchouli. Dangerously sexy. A trail of fresh white flowers, warmed with woods. Bursting: neroli and bitter orange collide with a ripple of raspberry. Intense: orange blossom absolute and sambac jasmine. Addictive: entwined, honey and sexy patchouli."

When it comes to footwear, trainers are definitely my thing. I love being comfortable in the shoes that I wear, and trainers are the perfect everyday shoe. This year in particular I've built up quite the collection of trainers and two pairs that I would love to receive as presents are the White Nike Air Force 1s and the Adidas Ozweego's pictured above.

Is it really Christmas if you don't receive a beauty gift set of some kind? Two of my ultimate favourite brands for Christmas sets are The Body Shop and Soap and Glory. Every year they offer some of the most gorgeous and affordable gift sets, it makes choosing some for Christmas extremely hard. This year it's been hard to pick a couple to save into my Wishlist, but somehow I've chosen a couple that would make great Christmas gifts.

The Body Shop Festive Berry Little Gift Box - This box includes a good selection of products including Festive Berry Shower Gel, Festive Berry Body Yogurt, Festive Berry Hand Cream, and the Festive Berry Body Scrub.

Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Collec-Tin Christmas Gift Set - The Sugar Crush scent is my ultimate favourite from Soap & Glory. I don't actually remember the last time I bought anything from this range. It's definitely been a while so I'm hoping to get this for Christmas. This set includes Body Buttercream, Bath Fizzer, Hand Cream, Miracle Moisture Mask, Under-Eye Brightening Hydrogel Patches, all encased in a beautiful decorative tin.

I like to put some more luxurious and expensive haircare products on my Christmas wish list as these can be a real treat. Two brands that I would love to try out are Kerastase and Moroccan Oil - both of which I've heard such great reviews about. Throughout 2020 I've really tried to take much better care of my hair, and make sure it stays healthy and strong, and sometimes you definitely need to splurge on some great products for great results.

What is on your Christmas Wishlist this year?

AD - GIFTED | When it comes to online shopping and styling outfits, I always pick pieces that I know I will be comfortable in, but still look cute and like I made an effort. Whilst browsing the Femme Luxe website, I managed to find 4 items of clothing that I would wear for when I need a casual and comfortable outfit for the day ahead. I've chosen pieces that I feel are must-have wardrobe essentials, that would suit all sizes and shapes.

Whether you're lounging about at home, popping to the shop, out with the girls or even heading to the airport, I think I've put together 4 super casual yet super stylish outfits.

Black Digits Printed Slogan Oversized T-Shirt Dress - Adele*

Everyone loves a good T Shirt Dress. They are the perfect outfit go-to when you don't really know what to wear. Dressed up with heels. Dressed down with trainers. It's the perfect centrepiece for any casual and comfortable outfit. Pair with some simple accessories and you're good to go. I've opted to add a belt to help add some shape to the outfit and really cinch it in towards my waist, as without it I think it's slightly too baggy for me and doesn't flatter the body too much. In terms of footwear, I would wear some classic old skool vans to tie in the monochrome colour scheme, which I think just make this look more sporty and stylish. Just a perfect everyday outfit that's super quick and easy, and you still look great.

Black Gold Lip Print Hoodie - Kasia *

I am all about comfort. Sometimes way little too much. I love loungewear; joggers, t-shirts and hoodies are my go-to when I'm chilling at home. An Oversized Hoodie screams 100% comfort. The perfect clothing item for when you want to ditch the tight clothes and just want to be cosy and lounge around the house. Teamed up with some cycle shorts, leggings, joggers or jeans, as well as a good pair of chunky trainers and you have a super casual outfit for when you just need to pop to the shops or even the perfect airport outfit. A great off duty look for the girl that loves comfort over style.

Navy Rolled Sleeves Shirt Dress - Noa*

An item of clothing for that perfect smart casual look is a simple Shirt Dress. Another wardrobe must-have that can also be dressed up or down, and you still look like you made an effort with your outfit choice. Shirt dresses are made for day-to-day dressing, they are so versatile in terms of styling, as they suit all body types, shapes and sizes. I picked out the Navy Shirt Dress which I think is a colour that would suit all skin tones, and is also a very classic and more formal colour. The shirt dress comes with a material belt that helps draw in your waist to help accentuate your figure and really bring you in at your smallest point. I would definitely team this dress with some trainers for a more casual daytime outfit or a pair of heels if you're going out for the night, depending on the look you are going for. It's the perfect dress for your next date night as well. Super cute yet super classy sophisticated.

Khaki Loungewear Tracksuit Set*

Finally, you can't get anymore casual with a simple Loungewear Set. Loungewear is the perfect choice for when you want to be cosy and comfortable at home. A super relaxed slim fit style but still looking cute, what more could you want? I probably wouldn't wear this Femme Luxe set out of the house, I'll just keep it for my pyjama collection. Thrown on with some cute slippers or fluffy sliders and you got the perfect chilling outfit.

Overall, I was really impressed with both the sizing and the quality of the pieces I picked from the Femme Luxe site. I think my favourite outfit would definitely be the Oversized T Shirt Dress. It's probably the easiest and most comfortable outfit I have put together and it still looks like you made a huge effort with your outfit. You can dress it up or dress it down, making it such a versatile piece for your wardrobe, whether you need a daytime or evening outfit.

AD| 2022 has finally arrived! Start your new year the right way by getting your hands on some of these super-useful tech gadgets and accessories. There are so many various gadgets and accessories out there, that can be used for just about anything in your life, it's hard to keep up with new releases and must-have items.

From fitness accessories, to homeware, to computer and smartphone items, or even gadgets helping you to de-stress and relax, they are all available out there! Below are some of the most necessary, must-have tech gadgets and accessories that you should get your hands on to see you through 2022.

- Smartwatches -

Smartwatches are definitely an accessory that everyone will have a use for. They can tell the time, count your daily steps, track your health and sleep habits, and can help you reach your fitness goals. As well as all this, smartwatches are perfect for those wanting to keep up-to-date with their social media notifications messages and phone calls whilst commuting and travelling.

Most smart watches are available in a variety of styles, sizes and colours, as well as having multiple strap options that’ll be suitable for all ages. If you're looking for some luxury Apple Watch straps, I'd highly recommend browsing online at The Watch Strap Co - who offer an amazing range of watch straps, my favourite would certainly be the black leather watch straps. A leather watch strap is simply sophisticated, timeless and prestigious. It can help make your smartwatch that bit more luxurious, and make it feel like a more high-quality, high-end timepiece. But if leather isn't your preference, they also offer other materials from woven to stainless steel to silicon and many more, the options are endless!

- Massage Guns -

2021 was the year I was first introduced to massage guns, specifically the Actigun. Massage guns are a recent innovation made to help muscle recovery, injury prevention, joint stiffness, increase blood flow throughout the body and improve your flexibility/range of motion. Massage guns are also a unique gadget to own ad only you're in charge on the amount of pressure and time you use to pinpoint on any tense areas of your body.

- Amazon Kindle -

If you're an avid bookworm, or just someone who wants to take reading up as a hobby for your New Year's resolutions, picking up an Amazon Kindle could be extremely worth it. A Kindle reader can store an insane amount of books offline, we're talking thousands! - making it an incredible solution for those wanting to read on-the-go, or taking with them whilst travelling on long flights or switching off on holiday whilst relaxing by the pool. The Amazon Kindle is also incredibly lightweight, small and fits into even the smallest of bags - no more carrying around those heavy books!

- iPads -

Apple's iPads are probably the most popular tablet in the entire world and there's definitely good reason for that - they can do just about anything and can be used by anyone of any age! Whether you're studying, taking photos/videos, watching videos, playing games, browsing the internet or keeping in touch with relatives, the iPad has it all from the touch of a button, and that's what makes it so fast, so reliable and so accessible. iPads are also incredibly lightweight and portable, making them easy to carry with you day-to-day - much more compact than your regular laptop, so they can be useful for taking to school, to university, to work, or even to be used on your daily commute on public transport or a visit to a local coffee shop.

- Bluetooth Speakers -

A Bluetooth speaker is probably one of the most versatile types of speaker that you can own, and the benefits of owning a one of these speakers are endless. One of the main benefits of these is that you can connect any to device via Bluetooth, whether it be your laptop, phone or tablet, and what's more useful, you don't need an internet connection for use. Plus, you don't need to use them just for music, they can also be used during work conference calls or even personal phone calls.

- AirPods -

Is there anything worse than reaching into your coat pocket or cluttered handbag, in search for your headphones, and finding them in a complete mess? This is why you need to get yourself a pair of wireless earphones to avoid all the stress. Products such as Apple AirPods, are an extraordinary, hands-free, technology gadget, perfect for those who are always on the go. Whether you're travelling, exercising, or just catching up with your friends on the phone, they are definitely a must-have accessory you need to invest in.

Do you already own any of these products? What are your must-have gadgets and accessories for 2022

AD - GIFTED | 2020 has been the year of loungewear. The global pandemic has seen many of us in lockdown and staying at home. We've all ditched the jeans and tight clothing in favour for something more comfortable and relaxed. Everybody has been going loungewear crazy over the last few months, and there's no doubt about it that it's been super popular, and it's definitely here to stay for the foreseeable future. Whether you're working from home, Netflixing and chill, popping to the shops or just want something cosy and cute to wear, loungewear is definitely your best friend, and you definitely need to get stocked up!

Loungewear is so versatile, dressed up or dressed down, there's so many ways to wear it, and still look stylish yet comfy. If you saw my Lockdown Loungewear Lookbook, you'll know I'm a huge fan of joggers - especially from FemmeLuxe! Joggers are stylish, super comfy, and flattering for all ages and all body types. They are the ULTIMATE chill, cosy day essential when it comes to clothing. I've put together 4 different outfits to show different ways that I would style joggers for some simple but casual Autumn/Winter everyday looks.

1. Slogan Tees & Joggers

Firstly, I've paired some dark green cuffed joggers* with a simple slogan tee. Slogan tees are a wardrobe MUST HAVE. The colour of these joggers just screams Autumn/Winter to me. During the colder months of the year, I definitely gravitate towards more dark, earthy tones to add to my wardrobe, and these khaki joggers seemed like the perfect addition. Featuring an elasticated waist with a hidden drawstring, you can really cinch these joggers in to give you a bit of shape, as the oversized legs might be a bit much for you. To complete the outfit, I would style it with either an oversized leather jacket or an aviator style coat, and some chunky trainers or boots, for a more edgy outfit.

2. Long Sleeve T Shirt & Joggers

These light blue cuffed joggers* are just the cutest. The colour is simply unreal, a beautiful light blue/green shade which is unlike any other pair of joggers in my current collection. Colder weather means we ditch the short sleeves in favour of long sleeve tops. These joggers also feature a drawstring waist, which is perfect for when you want to tuck tops in. Paired with a borg style teddy coat and some trainers would make the cutest, casual outfit.

3. Hoodie & Joggers

This is the ultimate comfort outfit. There's honestly nothing better than a cute and casual matching loungewear set. This outfit is the perfect off-duty look for everyday wear. A cute Co-Ord just make you feel more 'put together' and looks like you made more of an effort than you actually have. If i were to wear this outside, then I would team it with an oversized puffer jacket and a pair of chunky trainers for a simple, stylish outfit. You could even style it with a chunky necklace and a baseball cap if you wish to accessorize. If you don't have a grey oversized/crop hoodie and a pair of grey cuffed joggers* then you're really missing out!

4. Bodysuit & Joggers

These cream fleece front pocket joggers* are unlike anything I've seen before. The front pockets are so big - imagine how many snacks you could fit in those! Anyway, teaming a bodysuit with joggers is basically the perfect combination. The top half is tucked in and you know it won't be rolling up and ruining the look. To make this outfit more appropriate for the colder weather, I would pair it with an oversized shacket - ultimate cosy vibes - and some trainers or even some chunky boots, for a simple everyday look.

Whether you're looking for a new Lounge Set, cosy joggers, or just some pieces to revamp your wardrobe with, FemmeLuxe is a great place to shop. Super affordable, a huge variety of clothing, great quality and fast delivery, what more could you want?

AD - GIFTED| Are you a major fan of the matching loungewear co-ord sets? Then this post is for you!

Now the warmer weather is definitely on its way, lockdown restrictions are constantly being lifted and we can finally go out and socialise with friends, everyone will be looking for outfit inspiration that would make a change from loungewear sets we've been wearing at home. However, loungewear is a must-have essential on spring days, as the weather can easily shift between cool and warm in such a short space of time, it's good to be prepared with wearing something that is suitable for both temperatures.

FemmeLuxe loungewear has definitely been some of my favourite matching sets to wear throughout lockdown, and on those days where I just want a simple, easy and effortless outfit to throw on and go. Loungewear is so versatile, dressed up or dressed down, there's so many ways to wear it, and still look stylish yet comfy. Loungewear is such a wardrobe staple, all year round. Hoodies, sweatshirts, crop tops, joggers and leggings are all perfect items for everyday wear when you're putting together a super casual outfit.

Chocolate brown was definitely the colour of the autumn/winter season, and it's definitely something that's here to stay throughout the springtime. This Oversized Chocolate Loungewear set* simply screams comfort! You can't go wrong with an oversized sweat and some joggers for the perfect casual everyday outfit. On this occasion, I've gone for something slightly different as I would never usually go for this colour, but I'm extremely glad that I did. I find browns super flattering for all skin tones and this tracksuit set is the perfect outfit when you want something easy to through on.

To add some neutral tones to my wardrobe, I picked up a Cream Oversized Hoodie & Jogger set*. This loungewear set has a relaxed fit, making it extremely comfortable and perfect for layering underneath or over the top. Cream is a great colour for those who love a neutral colour them in their clothing, as you can pair it with pretty much any colour and it will match perfectly.

To switch up my loungewear style, this Grey Ribbed Loungewear Set* is the perfect addition to my wardrobe. This loungewear set has more of a slim fit to it, helping to flatter the body, and is a change from wearing big, baggy lounge sets. Grey is an extremely versatile colour so you can pair this with so many things for a cute outfit. I would simply through on an oversized puffer jacket for an everyday outfit.

To help inject some colour into my spring wardrobe, I've opted for another loungewear set in this absolutely stunning pale blue colour. This Slogan Oversized Loungewear Set* is super relaxed and very comfortable. This set is really unique and different compared to the ones already featured in this post. The slogan back is a really cool added detail, and the bold text really makes it stand out and get noticed.

So whether you're looking for some spring outfit inspo, WFH clothing or are simply on the hunt for some comfy and super affordable loungewear, I hope this post has given you that much needed inspiration. I know I definitely want to fill my wardrobe with loads more loungewear sets. You can never have too many! FemmeLuxe is a great online place to shop. Super affordable, a huge variety of clothing, good quality and fast delivery, what more could you ask for?
