The 1975! ♡

HOLY. SHIT.

On the 23rd of November I got to see The 1975 again in my hometown, Southend, with my wonderful boyfriend Blake. 

This was their last tour with their debut album 'The 1975' I believe, and as sad as I am that that's probably the last time I'll see that setlist I am so so SO excited to hear their new album - "I Like It When You Sleep, For You Are So Beautiful Yet So Unaware Of It" which is out on February 26th.

Blake and I were so lucky to get tickets for this tour as I'm pretty sure it sold out in a ridiculous amount of time, we wanted tickets for both London and Southend but only managed to get tickets for Southend but hey, one is better than none right?!

I really loved the new set, it was so colourful and pretty compared to the usual black and white and I took as many pictures as I could!

(I'll also try and match the pictures to the setlist as much as I can but I don't think I got pictures for every song?)

1. Love Me

This is the first single The 1975 have released from their new album and I'm so happy I got to see it live.

SO. MUCH. PINK.

Although I wasn't 100% sure I liked the song at first, it very quickly grew on me and is definitely one of my all time favourite songs of theirs, it's just impossible to not dance to this. Even when you're walking home from work and everyone's staring at you which I'm not even embarrassed about if I'm honest.

2. Heart Out.

I actually kinda really loved the colours for this set? So simple yet so pretty!

4. Settle Down

SO PRETTY. I feel like I'm going to be repeating myself a lot in this post but I just want to get the point across that the set was stunning.

5. So Far (It's Alright) 

I don't think I got a picture for this but I'm pretty sure they went back to the simple black and white, playing homage to their old set.

6. The City

For this, they stuck with the old black and white set.

7. You

Back to the pink for this song, such a pretty set for such an amazing song.

*heart eyes emoji*

8. Menswear

Such an underrated song in my opinion to be honest. I loved the mix of the turquoise and pink too!

9. Change Of Heart

Another new song from the new album and it's sO GOOD. Go and listen to it on YouTube right now. 

10. She's American

New song again, I'm so glad they played some new stuff on this tour because I honestly don't think I could have waited till next February to hear new music.

Go listen to it.

11. Me

Unfortunately I didn't get a picture of the set during this, as I was too busy trying not to cry my eyes out to be honest. This song is EVERYTHING to me and my all time favourite The 1975 song.

12. fallingforyou

Another one of my favourite songs to be honest, it's a wonderful, wonderful song. I'm getting goosebumps just listening to it. In my opinion, a great choice for your first dance/wedding song?

*(hint hint Blake)*

13. Somebody Else

I think this was the set during this song? Anyway, another song from the album and I love it! Maybe one of my favourite out of all the new songs they played? 

14. Robbers

Potentially one of everyone's favourite songs of theirs I think. It's also virtually impossible to not sing along to it, but that might just be me.

15. Girls

I kid you not, everyone went ballistic when this came on which is understandable as it's an utterly INCREDIBLE song.

16. Medicine

In my opinion, this is the most underrated song of all theirs. It's one of my all time favourite songs and I am indescribably happy they performed it, along with Me, this song means so so much to me.

17. Chocolate

Who doesn't love this song to be honest? It's where it all started and the song makes me so so happy.

18. Sex

It was literally impossible to get a decent picture as everyone went absolutely mental, which is again, understandable.

My favourite thing about this is the fact Matt ALWAYS says 'let's have some sex' before performing it, I just love him.

*****

AND THERE YOU HAVE IT!

This was hands down one of the best nights of my life and I'm so unbelievably glad I went.

This band means so so much to me, they're the first band me and Blake saw together and we'll continue to go and see them forevermore. 

(provided we get tickets)

Lush Haul! ♡

Hey guys!

Just a quick piece of advice, DO NOT watch a lush haul on YouTube before going shopping. Ever.

I went in expecting to buy one or two bath bombs, I came out with 5 bath bombs, a bath melt and a bubble bar adding up to £30. Oops. Also, a quick shoutout to the lovely girl who took me around the store and gave me so many recommendations! I'm so annoyed I didn't get her name to give her a personal thank you. 

First off, you can't go into lush during winter and not get any Christmas products. It's just the rules. After watching Zoe's (Zoella) and Gabby's (velvetgh0st) lush hauls, I was INSTANTLY drawn to The Magic Of Christmas bubble bar. 

JUST LOOK AT HOW PRETTY IT IS. The description reads "foam alone? Stir up a whole lot of Christmas magic with this warming cinnamon stick. Swish around your bath to make enchanting bubbles then pop to one side to dry for next time". This smells SO christmassy with the cinnamon, almond and orange oils, it's gorgeous. I also love the fact it's on a cinnamon stick and has a little bell on it, it's so cute. I'm super excited to use it!

The other festive product I got was the Snow Angel bath melt. This is the first ever bath melt I've ever got and I'm so so excited to use it! I've always just kind of looked past bath melts as I didn't see them as something as exciting as a bath bomb but I couldn't resist this one! The description of this reads "rich in moisturise cocoa butter, with a delicate marzipan scent, this blend of rose, benzoin and cassie absolute treats winter skin to a softening floral soak". It smells so gorgeous, like a really luxurious moisturiser and luckily the rose and marzipan scents aren't too overpowering and just gives off a lovely fresh, yet relaxing scent. Also as someone who suffers from really dry and sensitive skin, this will be perfect for me due to the cocoa butter. And I can tell the gold glitter is going to make my bath look really pretty! 

Next up, I picked up the Intergalactic bath bomb. How could I not?! I was so so happy to see they had this in stock, as I thought it was just an Oxford Street special, day = made! If you haven't used this yet then I'd very highly recommend it, is the most gorgeous thing I've ever bought. The description says "ground control to major bomb. Prepare for takeoff as thos awesome mix of peppermint and popping candy explodes in your bath, creating the scent of an 80's rogue. Launch it into the water to become the guardian of your own galaxy". I love to use this in the mornings, as the peppermint and grapefruit oils in this bath bomb make it so refresing and wake you up a little in the morning. Once you pop it in the water it turns a beautiful deep blue shade full of silver glitter, it looks just like the night sky full of stars! It's also suitable for vegans, so that's a massive bonus for all you vegan guys and gals! 

The next one I got I was the So White bath bomb and I was quite sceptical about as it looked a bit plain and boring but what drew me towards it was the wonderful scent it has! The description says "become the fairest of them all when you sink into a bath with this bomb. Bergamot and rose give it an apple scent as pure as the driven snow". I was really surprised to find there wasn't any apple products in the bath bomb itself as it's smells so strongly of apple! I've heard this bath bomb is so luxurious and leaves your skin feeling silky soft. I was also told there's a nice little surprise when you put it in the water but I won't spoil it for you! This bath bomb is also vegan. 

The next one I picked up was the Frozen bath bomb because... Well... It's called Frozen. How could I resist? The description says "do you want to have a bath bomb? Do you want to splash and play? Take this magical blend of uplifting grapefruit and Tunisian neroli into the bath with you to thaw the iciest of moods". Now, try and tell me you didn't start singing along to that in your head? I definitely did, I'm not even ashamed. With the grapefruit, rose and neroli, it smells so refreshing yet sweet and comforting and it's so so lovely! I'm not 100% sure if it has glitter in it but I cannot wait to soak with this in the tub while watching Frozen. I swear I'm a child at heart. (Also vegan). 

I then picked up the Sakura bath bomb. Although this bath bomb would be more appropriate for the springtime due to the floral scents, I couldn't resist picking it up. The description says "A celebration of spring, bursting into a floral fragrance. Inspired by the cherry blossom in Japan, this pretty bomb is designed to evoke the burst of optimism the first sign of spring brings. Calming mimosa and jasmine oils are complemented by lemon oil and orange flower to bring to mind the smell of this colourful season". My goodness this smells so fresh and floral and it's so simply pretty and I'm so excited to use it! Although it doesn't really change the colour of your bath or contain any glitter, it's such a lovely relaxing scent for when you want some nice, peaceful time to yourself. (Also vegan).

This is the last one I picked up, we're almost there! This is the Shooting For The Stars bath bomb and the description says "paint the swirling colours of the night skies over the surface of your bath. Launch into your bath water and watch it shoot and spin". It smells so clean and refreshing with the orange and and bergamot oils and I can't wait to see all the pretty colours and glitter shooting out of this bath bomb! (Also vegan). 

*****

And there you have my lush haul! I hope you didn't find it too long and boring, but I don't get to go into lush very often so I thought I'd make it worthwhile and pick up as much as I could!

I hope you enjoyed this, thank you for reading and I'll see you again soon!
