"Strawberries Taste Like Lips Do"

Hello there!
I don't know what it is but recently I have been absolutely adoring strawberries. Maybe it's because of Wimbledon, or maybe just because it's Summer time! I don't know! I'm going to share with you my three items that are helping me on my way to complete strawberry obsession!

The Body Shop - Strawberry Shower Gel
This was a gift last Christmas but I never really used it until recently. It smells so beautifully amazing! I've been using it as both a shower wash, and I've taken to pouring it into my bath and using it as kind of a bubble bath. This is amazing because it makes the entire bathroom smell of strawberries. Another great thing about this wash is that the scent stays on your skin after you've washed it off and for the entire day after. I seriously freakin' love this!

The Body Shop - Strawberry Purée Body Lotion
I was given this along with the shower gel last Christmas. Again, it smells awesome, like really sweet (but not sickly) strawberries. It kinda smells of the Calpol medicine I had when I was little. I find this moisturiser to be a little sticky when first applied to the skin, but once it sinks in (which it does incredibly quickly) it leaves the skin so soft and supple. And smelling amazing! Again the scent lasts all day which is probably the main reason I love this (and the shower gel) so much.

Yankee Candle - Sweet Strawberry
I blame this little guy for my current obsession! He was a very kind gift from my best friend. Since he is so tiny, I haven't liked burning him, but I was having a bit of a down day today and decided to light up for a bit. Before I knew it I was dancing around my room to Vampire Weekend. Basically, this is my drug! It makes everything smell of. . . well, sweet strawberries and instantly puts me in a good mood.

And I'm just going to add these in here at the end:
Actual Strawberries! 
We have three punnets of these in our fridge and a two bags of frozen ones in the freezer at the moment. I love chopping up the fresh ones and eating them plain, and absolutely adore blitzing the frozen ones with a banana or two and some low fat natural yoghurt. Super healthy and super tasty to boot!
TTFN guys
