Work work work!

Hey guys,  I just wanted to make a little post explaining why I have not been blogging in a while! First of all, I hope you all had an amazing christmas and spent lots of time with family and friends & received everything you wished for! 

Getting down to business, the reason I haven't been blogging is because I have just started a new job. I am now working for Victoria's Secret which I am so so happy about, the only downfall is I am working full time so that means I don't have as much time to blog anymore which is definitely going to change so don't worry! 

I am definitely going to prioritise my blog and it will become a hobby I will do when I have my days off, my two days off can be any days so for now, I will say just keep looking out for my new posts and if you don't already, I post on my twitter account when I have wrote a new post so if you want to keep up to date make sure to follow me on twitter. The button to do that is on my side bar. 

Sorry it isn't a exciting post but I thought I should explain myself!

Thank you so much for reading and I will be doing a fashion or beauty post very soon so keep checking. 

Love, Melissa Victoria x

My top 5 best films to watch at Christmas!

Hi guys! I hope you are having a festive December so far & to add onto that todays post is going to be my top 5 best Christmas films that I watch all through December...


Number 5 - 

Merry Madagascar! When I got given this as a present a couple of years ago I didn't think it would be that good. I was wrong I now watch this every December... 

Number 4 -      


The Snowman - My family absolutely love this film and it is now a tradition to watch this every Christmas. I have never really loved this film but since my family watch it, it has grown on me. 

Number 3 - 


Mrs Doubtfire - Now I bet you are thinking "Mrs Doubtfire isn't a Christmas film" But in my home it is. The vibes from this film just make me feel Christmassy and homely & for me, that is what Christmas is all about!

Number 2 - (Runner up)


Miracle on 34th Street - I love this film so much. This for me just represents Christmas. It is set in New York which I am pretty sure is amazing at Christmas time to begin with so this is my runner up. 

Winner - 



Santa Clause 2 - This film is by far my favourite Christmas film ever. I just love it. I even sometimes but this on in November... Which is bad I know but I just can't help it. This film really makes me feel all festive & makes me so excited for Christmas Eve.

That guys is my top 5 best Christmas films! 

What are your favourites? 

Thank you all for reading & I hope you enjoyed this festive post.

Lush 'Christmas Penguin' - Review

Hi guys! I hope you are all well & excited to hear what I have to say about the Christmas Penguin from Lush.

Again I do apologise that I didn't take a picture of The Christmas Penguin as when I got round to using it, it had kind of become miss shaped & its nose had melted... I didn't really think it would make a good picture but you can check it out on Lush's website here.

To start off, I was a little skeptical in buying this product because of the smell. It smells like old soap, but because it looked so cute I bought it anyway!

I have to say I really really enjoyed using The Christmas Penguin as it left my skin feeling extremely soft & moisturised. I was pleasantly surprised.

It turned my bathwater a lovely light blue colour & it didn't actually smell too bad. I would say it has a very clean scent. You have probably read by now in another Lush review that I have very sensitive skin & I suffer from eczema, so branching out in products that I use on my skin was a bit scary but turned out to be well worth it!

The Christmas Penguin bubble bar left my skin feeling great and it will definitely be purchased again.

How to use a Lush bubble bar - Simply crumble (in my case) The Christmas Penguin under a running tap & it will result in changing your bathwater a light blue colour.

Lush 'Magic Wand' - Review

Hello lovlies! Today I am carrying on with my slight addiction to reviewing the Lush Christmas products.

The product I will be reviewing is the Magic Wand reusable bubble bar. Unfortunately I do not have a picture of this product as silly me used it thinking I had already taken a picture but I hadn't! Oops.

The Magic Wand reusable bubble bar is meant to create lots & lots of bubbles & smell like sweet treats. The actual smell of this product is Snow Fairy but I just didn't think it did. I thought it smelt way to sickly & ended up making me want to get out of the bath.

I think the Magic Wand was the one I was most looking forward to using but I was sadly very disappointed. I was a little bit surprised by the price of this product which I believe is £5.25, but I bought it thinking I could use it over & over again & it would dry out quick and easy.

Onto my next rant, it took the absolute biscuit to dry out properly and left my windowsill all sticky & stained it with pink marks. I changed where I placed the product several times but it just would not dry out properly. I had to put what was left of it in the bin because it really was getting on my nerves. Even the colour it turned the bath water wasn't that exciting.

Overall, I think this product is overpriced, messy & really hard to dry out. I was very very disappointed by the Magic Wand & will not buy it again. Sorry Lush!

Thank you all for reading this post & I hope you enjoyed it!
