Christmas Spoils

Ho Ho Ho! Christmas is just round the corner, and the festive bug is really starting to hit me. I visited my local shopping centre yesterday, and Christmas has pretty much thrown up in every shop! I was going nuts over everything, and ended up splurging a little too much on myself...

Some of my pretty awesome finds were at The Body Shop, which, like many other beauty/self-indulgent stores, has released it's Christmas collection. And boy, oh, boy, did I get hooked.
This collection is filled with cranberry-smelling goods, as well as gingerbread ones, which I immediately reached out for. Dubbed the Gingerbread Sparkle range, The Body Shop describes it as 'featuring sweet and spicy ginger notes', which is pretty much spot on.

Perusing the store, I ended up grabbing the new body butter, fragrance oil, as well as a ceramic oil burner.
If you've seen my post a while back titled Essential Oils, I have a burner of an elephant. It's short and small, and even though it's cute, it wasn't exactly practical. Lighting the tea-light was a pain, since the space for the candle was teeny-tiny, and with the whole thing being short, it meant the oil would burn out super quick...

So, I snatched up the burner at The Body Shop, and is now happily burning away in my room; making it smell of spices and warmth!

Bless The Body Shop for making this oil with the dropper top. It makes life so much easier, since you can precisely put in a few drops into your oil burner. There's some suspension thing going on in the tip, so the drops come out nice and slow, meaning you won't end up tipping excessive amounts into the burner.
