The LookFantastic Beauty Box, which I have reviewed every month for slightly over a year now, contains some of the most amazing products. Unfortunately, the ones that I tend to absolutely adore are the ones that cost £29274, a remortgage and selling a kidney on the black market, but here's a round-up of products that are completely worth the money spent.

1. Eve Lom Balm Cleanser £55 for 100ml

This is probably the best product that I have seen all year, and it did work noticeable wonders for my skin. But the price, the price, the price! I walked into Liberty when I visited London the other week and was immediately drawn to the Eve Lom counter, and I *nearly* spent £60 on a bloody balm to wash my face with. I will crack at some point, I just know it.

2. Christoph Robin Cleansing Volumising Paste £42.50 for 250ml


This is a divine smelling paste, that although seemed a little weird at first, did a truly amazing job of clarifying my hair and lifting at the roots. My hair can sometimes feel a little flat, as it has a lot of weight in the ends that drags it down, and this did a fab boost at the roots... but the price, the price.

3. Scrub Love Coconut Body Scrub £12.50 for 3ish applications


I didn't know whether to include this, as I couldn't work out if it was particularly steep, then considered the fact that one of my favourites, Soap and Glory, do a big tub of scrub for £8. Whilst I thought that this smelled divine and was a good scrub, it did only last for a couple of applications, so would only repurchase if I was feeling spending-happy.

I am the sort of overachieving overthinker that unfortunately means that I have a tendency for anxiety, especially around exam season. In order to actually carry on through life without panicking or crying too much, I've developed a few ways to distract myself from the anxiety.

• Positive affirmations. Essentially saying loudly that everything will be okay (which, by the way, it will) and you will believe it and calm down. This is my newest and preferred strategy.
• Happy music. Sometimes a pounding beat can make it worse, but some good music can make you feel so much better, especially if you can dance to it!
• Go for a walk
• Frothy television, even if it's just something shitty to play in the background. Would recommend Gilmore Girls, the Kardashians or Are You The One (which my friend Francesca introduced me too - v addictive!)
• Taking a shower
• Talk to a good friend about something else. I actually prefer to ring someone than see them face to face while I'm really anxious, but just let them know how you feel.
• Writing - my friend Ana suggested this and I agree so much. Journaling, writing a letter, whatever it is: it can help so much to write about your fears and make them tangible and certain.
• Some people (although not me personally) find herbal remedies useful, even if partly due to the placebo effect.
• If it doesn't seem to be related to one specific thing, and doesn't clear up, I'd definitely advise seeing someone, as counselling/therapy/whatever you want to call it, can really help, and to be honest I think everyone should take advantage of it.

There's no long story behind this post, I simply thought it was a fun idea. So here it is, my bucket list:

• Swim with dolphins
• Visit New York
• Adopt an animal
• Learn guitar
• Visit Venice
• Go to Disneyland
• Go indoor skydiving
• Visit Japan
• Learn a foreign language (Italian?)
• Buy my own house
• Visit Barcelona (I'm going this summer!)
• Go to the Rio Carnival
• Visit the Caribbean
• Learn to cook
• Visit Florence
• Get a job doing something I love
• Visit Hawaii
• Be a mother
• Go to university to study history
• Learn to drive (check!)
• Always take the option that makes me happiest (not as easy as it sounds)
• Visit Australia
• And last, but by no means least, take a year out to live in Germany.
