I've been after a new perfume for ages. One that I can wear day and night and that could hopefully become my signature scent. I had had my eye on *Tommy Hilfiger Tommy Girl Eau De Toilette (£16.99) for a while and finally got my hands on it when I received it as a birthday present. Since the first spritz this has been my go to perfume. It smells absolutely gorgeous and I always receive loads of compliments when I am wearing it.

*Tommy Girl is a refreshing, bright, floral fragrance that has apparently been inspired by wildflowers "gathered from the American landscape" (yeah, whatever..!) All I know is that I'm not usually a fan of floral scents but this one is so unbelievably gorgeous, I just can't get enough of it. *Tommy Girl contains notes of camellia flower, apple blossom, mandarin, tangerine, honeysuckle, butterfly violet, Cherokee rose and wild heather. I think the mix of floral and citrus scents are perfect together.

The scent lasts on the skin for ages and doesn't seem to change as the day goes on. It's fresh enough to be worn during the day but interesting enough to be worn at night. You also get a decent amount (100ml) in the bottle and it isn't expensive either. I may have to go down and stock up just in case Boots decide to raise the price!

I think the bottle is also really pretty. It is simple yet elegant and looks really nice on my chest of drawers. If you have never smelt *Tommy Girl then I seriously suggest that you get yourself down to your nearest Boots and give it a sniff.

I think I may have just found my perfect perfume.

What is your signature scent?

Lush Butterbear Bath Bomb (£1.95) is a gorgeous cocoa butter and vanilla scented, bear shaped bath bomb. I think that it is probably the cutest bath bomb from Lush that I have ever tried and it left my skin feeling amazing.

When first popped into the bath, it didn't really do anything special, there was no colour change and no bubbles. It just sort of fizzed a bit and melted into the bath. However, the room was filled with the sweet and rich scent of cocoa butter and vanilla and when I got into the bath I could instantly feel how luxurious the water had become.

Because this little Butterbear contains cocoa butter, it moisturises your skin leaving you feeling silky smooth and smelling amazing. There is also no need for added moisturiser afterwards. Even the next day my skin felt really soft. Because of how rich and moisturising this little bear is, I did have to let all the goodness sink into my skin for a couple of minutes, however this didn't take long at all or leave my skin feeling greasy.

I love this little bear and think the results are much more luxurious than the price!

Have you tried Lush Butterbear? What did you think?

I've always struggled with my sleep. I've just never been any good at it. When I was little my mum used to take me to sleep therapists because I would just go days without sleeping. Since then my mum and I managed to find things that helped (the therapist was not one of them) and I am much better now, but still some nights I find it hard.

One of the things I found that really helped me was putting a couple drops of lavender oil on my pillow every night before bed. Then my mum bought me the wonderful White Company White Lavender Pillow Mist (£15) for Christmas and since then my nights have been filled with blissful, undisturbed sleep.

The Pillow Mist smells absolutely gorgeous. On first hit it smells of lavender (obviously) but it also contains, neroli, basil, Sicilian lemon and vertivert. It's really relaxing and homely, you become almost wrapped in the smell, like it is giving you a huge hug.

All I do is use a couple sprays on my pillow each night before I go to bed and it automatically relaxes me and helps me drift off to sleep so much quicker. This really is an almost life changing product for me and words cannot describe how thankful I am that it actually works for me. I can't promise such amazing results for everybody but this really has helped me massively and I hope that it continues to.

Plus the bottle looks super cute on my bedside table.

Do you struggle with your sleep? If so I would love to know if there is anything that helps you.
