Last year I wrote a blogpost reviewing a wax melt company called  Seasonal scents , well last January she rebranded to create Glisten&Glow wax co, I asked her why she decided to rebrand and she said " the main reason that I rebranded was because I wanted to create more ‘luxury’ products. I wanted to sell high end products but for an affordable price. I also found the name SeasonalScents’ rather restricting, which is one of the reasons for the name change. I’m really happy with the rebrand, I now really love and am happy with the products I now sell, and can’t wait to expand in future!" Today I'm going to be reviewing some of her new products! Diamonds - This is a dupe of the Armani perfume, I've not smelt this perfume but with the smell of the wax melt , I think I will invest. Calpol - Now we all remember this from our childhood, it was the only plus side of getting ill, and I'm happy to say that this smells exactly like it!  Avobath - If you are a Lush fan yo...

The day we are all looking forward to, when this nightmare is over. I can't be the only one who has planned what they want to do after lockdown ends right? I honestly can't wait to get back to college really and finish getting my degree in Patisserie and become a fully qualified Patisserie chef and start achieving my dreams, but that story's for another time.   The first thing I want to do after lockdown is go for a meal in a restaurant, I work in a kitchen and the place I work I'm cooking for other people and I'm so exited to have food cooked for me by someone else. I really want a Nandos SO BADLY! Also a pub meal, like at a Wetherspoons, oh my gosh just the though of it makes me hungry.  The next thing is shop, I want to go to Meadowhall, Leeds, Manchester anywhere there is a huge shopping centre and just shop till I drop, I just want to spend my hard earned money in a proper shop, where you can actually interact with someone, I know we will still have to still we...

BLOGMAS DAY 8! The big day is finally here! Im so exited for tomorrow to spend time with my family and I hope you are too. On Christmas Eve I normally wake up at 9 then spend an hour lounging around in bed watching TikToks and go on social media. Once I'm up I'll get changed normally into a Christmas jumper, comfy joggers and some cosy socks. I will come downstairs and my mum will have a bacon sandwich waiting on the table for me and my brother, also on Christmas Eve I'm aloud to open 1 present from my mum and dad and it's normally PJ's and fluffy socks. The afternoon will roll around and during this time I will wrap any last minuets Christmas presents and watch too many Christmas films or listen to my Christmas playlist. I will also face time my friends to wish them a Merry Christmas. Suddenly the evening will come around very quickly and we will normally have a simple tea, I will then help my dad prep for Christmas dinner and then head upstairs to have a nice ...

BLOGMAS DAY 7 In my opinion It's not Christmas without mince pie, they are always the item my mum and dad stock up on so this year I though I would give them ago.  You will need a 12 hole cupcake tin Ingredients: Ready made Shortcrust pastry  1 egg beaten 350g mincemeat 1 egg beaten to glaze Icing sugar for dusting Method - Preheat your oven to 200 degrees - Roll the pastry out thinly on a lightly floured work surface and cut out 12 rounds using a circle cookie cutter then place in your greases cupcake tin. - Spoon a generously heaped teaspoon of mincemeat into each pastry case, re-roll the pastry trimming and cut out 18 stars using a star cookie cutter, put two of the stars on top of the mince meat and brush with your beaten egg. - Bake them in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until golden and crisp allow to cool and dust with Icing sugar. I love mince pies with either some cream or custard, These are so cute and easy to make and perfect for Christmas day! Blogmas d...

BLOGMS DAY 6! One of the thing's I love about Christmas is watching films, there are some films which are just the best ones to watch. Whats your favourite let me know in the comments below! Elf - Who doesn't love Elf? It's probably the best one to watch, it never fails to make me smile. I will watch this at least 10 times during December and defiantly on Christmas eve, Its a tradition for me and my mum to watch it before we go to bed on Christmas eve and I just love it. The Santa Clause - This is a childhood favourite of mine and like Elf I have to watch this on Christmas but I normally watch this on my own while wrapping presents and drinking hot chocolates. If you haven't see it I highly recommend watching it. Christmas with the Cranks - I watched this for the first time last year and I loved it, it really made me laugh and smile when I had a crap day at work on Christmas eve. Like the Santa Clause I highly recommend watching. The Grinch - My mum can't stand...
