Review: Good Things Fresh Start Creamy Cleanser

A while ago, I really needed a facial cleanser because my Lush cleanser had gone past the use by date and I was convinced it had gone off. However, I couldn't bring myself to throw it away because it cost quite a bit and I had more than half a pot left. So it just sat there and I had nothing to wash my face with. 
Then I did what every face cleanse loving girl would do and popped into Boots and looked for a new one.
I was rushing because I needed to get to work so I saw this and I got it confused with the Balanced Me packaging and I was like yeah, Imma go for it since I'm a sucker for more natural products.
 Lo' and behold, when I got home and started applying it to my face, I was like wait, this isn't foaming or bubbling and then read the back. Basically, it's more of a hot cloth cleanser than your normal day-to-day wash off cleanser. Here are the instructions: "Directions: Apply generously and massage well into your skin for a whole minute to loosen dirt, make-up and excess oil. Remove with a flannel that you have dipped in hot water and wrung out."

It's a bit more effort but this stuff smells AMAZINNNNGGG! I think I'd be using this more in winter because at the moment, my face doesn't feel 'clean' when I wash cleanse with this. However, it is great at moisturising. For example when I've used this and moisturised afterwards, my face just feels so soft the next day. This is actually the first time I've heard of Good Things before but I will def try some others next time, so if anyone has any suggestions, comment down below! *disclaimer: this was bought with my own money and I am not associated with the brand in any way.

Review: L'occitane Ultra Rich Body Cream

I got a few samples from L'occitane the other day and have begun trialing them. I loved the round shape of this sample so that's where I started first haha. 

Forgot to take a photo before I ripped opened the packaging, too excited oops...

I don't usually use body butter/cream/lotion/whatever they call it but my skin is getting quite dry so I thought I'd give this a go. 

It's neither thick nor thin, just in the middle in my opinion. It's easy to spread and that blob was enough for my hand.  It smells kind of grandma-ish with soft floral tones, which I don't particularly like, but I have to admit, the scent is growing on me. It also absorbs really quickly and gives my skin a healthy glow. Despite its great qualities, it is quite expensive so I don't think I will be buying it since there are cheaper alternatives. On the other hand, if you feel like treating yourself, go for it :)
*Disclaimer: This was a sample that was not sent for reviewing purposes.

On Sunday, I decided to finally catch up on my sewing project today since I was free. I was supposed to head out but really didn't want to move :( *superlazy* I originally wanted to make a peter pan collar top but it messed up and things went wrong so I decided to  rip the collar off and just make a plain, cropped navy shirt. I plan on wearing it with a chunky necklace or some statement pants/skirt. I'm also going to make a separate detachable collar so I can have the best of both worlds :)

I'm quite pleased with the fit since I drafted the pattern on my own haha. I just traced around an existing top but altered it slightly so I guess that still counts right? I was going to make a tutorial but since it didn't go exactly to plan, I spent most of my time furiously ripping out thread and forgot to take more pictures. I'll upload a photo of me wearing it soon. I've got a few more projects that I want to do but I'm a seriously slow sewer mainly because things don't ever turn out the same way I plan so 80% of the time is spent on ripping seams, and starting again. *Images are my own unless specified otherwise, please do not copy.

People

This post is really hard to write but I really need to get some stuff off my chest.
I've become rather unhappy at work recently, because of another colleague. Let's call them B. This is mainly due to B's slightly racist and very condescending/patronising way that he treats me. When I first started working, it was all fine and we'd chat and joke but recently it's like B's out on a witch hunt for me.
B comes from a good background with good parents but after finishing uni, couldn't find a course related job so has carried on living with parents. Now B look down on people based on which university they went to, what car/phone they have, where they live etc the list goes on whilst B plans to move his girlfriend in with his parents. Now, I'm not successful but I don't go around judging people based on where their house is when I can't afford to buy my own.
I know I am being waaay too sensitive about it because I am actually tainting my blog with negative shit but seriously, it's really gotten to me. I really like my boss so I stuck with the job until the end and now I'm leaving (because I'm moving), I'm actually really glad. I guess the saying high school never ends is really true, there's always a bully but you just really have to let them slide.
It feels amazing to get this out of my system. Ranting probably helps the soul.

P.S if anyone has any advice on how they deal with people like this at work then please comment below. I hope I won't get someone like this in my next job but who knows, better go prepared right?
