Here is a list of a couple of things that I have enjoyed this June.
Hope you enjoy!
I went a bit loom crazy this month, and ended up with 8 up my arm... safe to say my teachers weren't very impressed! My favourite part of looms? Making them, it's just so addictive and funnily enough it calms me down- don't say it's just me?! They are so cheap, about 300 looms in a bag for 99p, a bag can last you for at least 5 looms, you can get them basically anywhere (I got mine from The Works). You can buy a whole range of them; rainbow, pastel, dip-dye, black and white etc. I particularly love the black and white- they go with everything. Looms make your outfit more edgy, I love how you can express your individuality with them.
Ed's new album, Multiply, came out this month! I have been listening to it on repeat for weeks now, I just can't get enough of it. To be honest, I have never gotten sick of any of Ed songs- I still listen to his other album religiously- and that was released 3 years ago. My favourite songs on Multiply include Don't, The Man, and Afire Love.
Avon Care, Nourishing Body Lotion. This body lotion, to be honest, is not the best for moisturising your skin. But the reason why it deserves a spot on my list, is because of it's lush smell. It leaves you smelling of coconut for hours, and I love the smell of coconut! Avon is probably one of my 'safer' companies, in the way that it never lets me down, I know that if I order something from Avon it won't ever be a waste of money.
Nakd, cocoa delight. I have never actually tried anything from this company before, so when I saw this sitting on the shelf in boots, thinking to myself that I should be eating healthier, I picked up this packet of cocoa delights. It tasted so gorgeous, and I felt so happy picking these up instead of a chocolate bar! It's really healthy, made of basically mushed up fruit, nut and with cocoa. It tastes sweet, almost like chocolate, so it calmed my craving for something sweet. I do recommend these, they taste heavenly and are super healthy!
Over the summer holidays, I'm going to my uncle's wedding! So I went on a hunt for a dress, and once again I had no idea as to what I wanted. I knew that the time that I had to find a dress, shoes and accessories was limited to 3 weeks, which is in fact only 3 weekends, so 3 days... well that escalated quickly. I was quite panicked, but I knew that I could always count on my favourite dress shop- Quiz. I don't know if they have Quiz anywhere apart from the UK, but it's basically a fancy shops with a lot of dresses..! As soon as I saw this dress in the shop, I automatically fell in love with it! It's my favourite type of dress, short at the front and long at the back- it makes you feel like a butterfly. It's not a particularly fancy dress, but dresses with a lot of sequins, glitter and all that jazz are not my style- I like dark and simple yet girly clothes. Let me just say, pictures do not do justice to the real thing. The material at the top is stretchy tight, and at the bottom you have a light flowy material. It cost me £26.99, I would say it's a bargain for such a good quality dress. Here's the link: The Dress .
I know that I am sooo far behind, but I recently started watching American Horror Story. I wizzed through the first season, and by that I mean it took me 2 months (I just haven't got that much spare time to watch anything, but for me that's really fast!). I loved it so much, I was so hooked! The only bad thing was, that because I am so behind I can't really share my excitement with anyone- they already went through this in like 2012 :( . I am currently on the first episode of the second season, and I can't tell that this season is going to be a bit different... Hmm, can't wait to get back into watching it!
These earring I also bought for the wedding! I don't usually go for big, chunky earrings- but I fell in love with these! The detail on these is magnificent, and the gold will look glamorous alongside my dress. I picked these out from H&M for £3.99, so they weren't expensive or anything. H&M is also one of my favourite shops, I particularly love their sweaters and jumpers! The link to the earings .
My lips get really dry really quickly, I have to use a lip balm every morning and before I go to bed, if I forget to do so my lips get chapped almost immediately. Therefore, I have to use especially good lip balm- that's where these come in handy! The only Vaseline that I have ever used is the rosy lips one, I don't think it gives my lips any colour, but it's just a preference. It works very well, and stays on so well that if I put it on at night, it's still on when I wake up in the morning. The Nivea Lip Butter is also one of my favourites, this one I put in my bag so when I go out and feel my lips getting dry, I put some of this on and they feel gorgeous again. What i particularly love about this one is the smell, it's vanilla and macadamia (basically it smells like coconut). The scent is so strong, that you literally feel like eating your lips, because they smell so good! This one also stays on so well, I think it stays on a bit better than the Vaseline. The only bad thing about this one, is that it's a bit thick on your lips, even if you put on a thin layer, it feels really thick on your lips.
These are my shoes for the wedding, and let me just start of by saying that pictures do not give justice to these shoes- they don't show the exact pretty orange/pink colour, or the lovely smooth shape. I love these so much, because they are so girly yet sophisticated. I think they brighten up my dress, it makes my outfit look more colourful and fun (which is what I'm going for, I don't want to look too depressing for a wedding). And a bonus, they are very comfortable! I bought these from New Look for £20, a bit pricey as for shoes, but I think that at the end of the day it was worth it.
Garnier, Ultimate Blends Sleek Perfector oil. I have been looking for something to tame my frizzy hair for ages, and just when it was out of control, I found this. It has saved me, a lot of times! It works very well by smoothing my hair, it also makes my hair smell of coconut for the whole day- I think I'm going for a coconut theme? However, before using this I will warn you- you have to learn how to use it properly if you don't want your hair to look greasy. The first time (and many times after that), I made some mistakes when putting it in and it made my hair look horribly greasy. First of all, NEVER put it at the top of your hair (trust me, I done it so many times!). Secondly, don't put too much in, no matter how frizzy your hair is- one pump IS enough. Last of all -just a general pointer- if you want this product to work best, what I found is that washing your hair, spreading it through the bottom, then blow drying it works best. Putting it in when your hair is dry doesn't work as well for me, and neither does putting it in your wet hair and letting your hair dry overnight.
