Welcome!

Thank you for visiting my blog! This is my very first post ever, so I'm guessing I will label it as an introduction.

First of all, I'll do a quick little obligatory "about me" bit. My name is Jade, I am a mother to Evelyn and Forest, my two beautiful daughters. They're both under three years old so my life is pretty hectic right now to say the least! I have a wonderful husband of three years, Scott, he is my absolute rock, he's really helped to push me to follow my passions and is the main reason I am working for Lush in the first place. Scott is a very talented human, he's a tattoo artist working from Seven Swords studio in Cheltenham, UK. His full name is Scott Owen, you should probably give him a little follow on whatever social network you prefer (cheeky little name drop there!).

Now, a little bit about my love for Lush. I have shopped at Lush Cosmetics for almost a decade. When I was a teenager my nearest Lush shop was in Bath, back when it was a lot smaller and was located on the corner, but it was about an hour from my hometown so it was only a special occasions situation. Nowadays I am a lot luckier. I live just outside of Cheltenham, around a fifteen minute drive to my nearest Lush, and the place I now call work! I have now visited quite a few Lush shops around the country, one of my favourites being the first ever Lush shop in Poole! My husband and I visited 29 High Street on our second wedding anniversary in 2016, the staff were incredibly lovely, the Gorilla Perfume section was to die for, and they even gave me a personal tour around the new spa! Oh, and they gifted me a beautiful polkadot vintage knotwrap. I was in love!

I have been working for Lush for about six months now, I applied to work there when Forest was only eleven weeks old, and I was lucky enough to be chosen! There were a lot of people at the interview, I'm taking around thirty people, and only three of us were chosen. Due to my lack of flexibility because of being a mother of two babies, I didn't think I stood a chance. But this was my first lesson about Lush as a company, they really value individuality and passion. I believe it was my genuine passion for the company's ethics and for the products themselves that got me the job. I thought I knew a lot about the products, but I'm still always learning something new and exciting every day.

My overall goal with this blog is to help people decide on what products would be best for them, as I know I've searched high and low on the Internet before to try to find what would be best for my sensitive, combination skin, and dry, frizz-prone hair, and I aim to give an educated and honest opinion in the hope to give others a bit more of a fun and exciting glimpse into the world of Lush and how it too can improve your life!

Any feedback on my reviews would be amazing; I hope to post as often as possible. In the meantime, have an awesome day and I hope to get a visit from you again super soon!
