Hello Luscious ones!
What does luscious means to me?
Luscious is a state of mind that can be hard to put into words - it really has to be experienced. Life can be made full of joy and lusciousness if it is understood and appreciated the right way. Luscious cannot be curtailed or confined to one single concept.
There is a vast diversity of things in life that are luscious and must be recognised. Of course, everyone is individual and luscious can mean thousands of different things to thousands of people.
But in a nutshell, lusciousness can be brought about by change of mind or attitude or alteration in the perspective and brings much happiness.
Luscious means beauty to me, a feeling experienced through your senses, what you see, feel and taste. Elegant, sophisticated and pleasing on the eye, heart skipping, eye twinkling, mouth watering. And I’ll go ahead and admit it: I’m a sucker for all things luscious and just can’t get enough.
What makes me weak at the knees?
- My best friend and boyfriend of 6 years Mr Declan
- A good pair of eyelashes and a juicy lip-gloss
- Adele’s voice – melts my heart
- Ben Affleck – need I say anymore?
- And finally BUBBLE BATHS! Is there anything more decadent than luxuriating in a tub filled with hot water and bubbles with nothing to do but soak, listen to some relaxing music and read as long as you like? I think not. It's my number one favourite way to pamper and feel luscious!
Love:
- Luscious is that warm fuzzy feeling of excitement, a rush to the head, butterflies in the tummy; being love and getting treated like a princess!
- Feeling happy and wanting to go into a crowded room scream it out and let everybody know and share that feeling.
- To me it’s living those luscious moments which you really love and treasure - with fab friends, the one you love and by enjoying your favourite food, sipping on your favourite cocktail, eating lots of chocolate, feeling amazing for no apparent reason just because you should.
- Getting surprises, a bunch of flowers, your favourite perfume or simply laughing and having fun with the one you love.
- Feeling beautiful, makeup perfected, looking glam and ready to hit the dance floor.
Luscious inspiration:
Julia Roberts sums up "luscious" – she is glowing and aspiring. This pretty woman is an inspiration, truly beautiful, very talented and never fails to stop smiling.

Asos.com
I spend hours drooling over pages and pages of ASOS – all the beautiful dresses and wishing I could buy the whole lot. Maybe one day…well a girl can dream cant she? So if you need a cute but affordable dress for that cocktail party or perhaps a wedding? Look no further.
Bodyshop strawberry luscious body butter
This butter is a must for smelling luscious. I just can’t go without it. It comes with me everywhere and makes me smell delicious all day long…even if I do say so myself.
Baking 
scrumptious buns
I love to bake nice treats, cupcakes are my favourite or a well-known Irish treat which I am going to make famous in Australia some day and you will all love me for it…they’re called "Fifteens".
Why? Because there are 15 of every ingredient of course - a mixture of marshmallows, digestives and condensed milk topped with coconut. Ahhhh....mouth watering!
