As you may of noticed I skipped my December and January favourites, I never really had anything new to share the last two months but I really wanted to share my 2015 favourites.

 Enjoy.

Number 1 has to be Soap and Glory Peaches and Clean Cleanser. 

 I have to start with this as this was the kick start to my blog. It has made my skin super clean and I am so glad I finally used a cleanser. It definitely changed my view on using cleansers. 

Sally Hanson Green Tea nail polish will also be top of my list as it completely saved my nails. 

Having had so many Shellac manicures ruining my nails, this nail polish was a life saver.

Topshop Joni Jeans. This year I ventured out not only with make-up but with clothes too.
I mean jeans aren't that out there but I never really wanted to pay so much for a pair of jeans!
Buutttt I am so glad I did! They are super comfy and soft and I could wear them all the time. Even if they do shrink and get a shade lighter after every wash. ;)

Mac Pro Long-Wear Paint Pots. I actually featured them in my August Favourites and I could off featured them in all year round. They have been so handy for quick eye looks. They are really easy to apply and I have the most gorgeous colours.

Hourglass Ambient Light Palette. Again this was in my August Favourites. I got it as a birthday gift in America and it is gorgeous! It has been my go-to highlighter in 2015.
It is beautiful and has the best pigmentations ever.

Last but not least,  HAS to be Elizabeth Arden 8 Hour Cream. I purchased this nearer the end of the year but the months I used it, I feel in love. Both the hand cream and Skin Protectant is always in my handbag. It has saved my hands and also my chapped lips.
They are quite pricey on there own but I know that there are websites or at duty free that have sets of them together. If you haven't I would check it out.

I know that I have been on schedule with my blogs but I promise to get back into it. 
Let me know what has been your 2015 favourites?

Wow, how fast is the year going! The first few days of this month have been a bit bland, how rubbish has the weather been, like come on, it is July!!! Anyway, July is an exciting month, my 21st on Tuesday and Beyonce on Thursday, so I can't really complain! 

I should be uploading a birthday haul so keep an eye out either Tuesday or Wednesday, but for now here are my June Favourites! :)

July has actually been a long month,  I turned 21, I went to see Beyonce, I then I got sick. It took a while for me to actually get over my sinusitis and finally get back to normal.
 Now that July is nearly over, I need August to go quick so Autumn can't come fast  enough!  However, it is that time of the month to talk about what I have been loving!


 My number one favourite HAS to be the book All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven. If you don't know it is part of Zoe's Wh Smith book club. I picked up a few books but by far this was my favourite, I generally couldn't put it down. It is probably one of the quickest books I've read. It's happy and it's sad and hits the emotional feels!!!

My blog related favourite is Twitter blog chats, if you don't know there is a great blog community over on twitter and over the last few weeks I have got myself involved in these chats. It is nice to speak to others that share the same passion as you, I also find that I get great blog ideas as well as making friends. I would certainly check them out.
 I actually set up a new twitter for my blog, just click on the picture and make sure to give me a follow!

Next favourite has to be Tanya Burr new nail polish in 'Soft Pajamas', I did a full review on the Soft Luxe Collection but by this is is my favourite. Like I mentioned, I haven't been using it as a matte nail polish but I have been loving the colour. I have reapplied this so much this month, I feel in the Autumn it again will be a firm favourite.

Make-up favourites this month goes to Estee Lauder Re-Nutriv Foundation. I actually bought this back in May coming back from Malta, but I just using it now. As much as it is the lightest shade I still find it a wee bit darker than what I am used to. It is a little oily than I am used too, however, it is still great coverage.



I am going to group these last favourites together as there are all birthday gifts. I never got round to write a birthday haul as like I mentioned I got very ill and I lay on the sofa for over two weeks. Nevertheless, most of my gifts have to be featured in my favourites.
Firstly,  my Princess necklace and my Pandora ring from my Sister Sarah,  I had actually asked for the  ring, it matches my Tiffany bracelet and I just think it is simple but effective. However, the necklace was just a lovely surprise and the cutest thing ever, because I AM a Princess ;) (Thanks, sis <3)




Then two new perfumes from the girls from my work, (shoutout Saahliha, Louise, Jorji and Sarah), 'Emporio Armani-Diamonds Rose' and 'Calvin Kelin-Down Town'.
Both I have been extremely loving this month! I always stick to the same perfume so it is great to have a few more to add to my collection!
I want to thank everyone that got my gifts for my birthday, I really appreciate them!

Let me know what your favourites have been in the month of July?

Also if you have any group/chats you are involved in?

Hey, guys, I am posting early as tomorrow I am heading off to Paris with my family!
I think most people are saying this, but how quickly is the year going! The fact it is already September is crazy, I mean I am not complaining since it is my favourite time of year.
I am pretty happy with my blog posts and how motivated I have been to upload each week so I can't believe its that time again to sit and write my monthly favourites!  

I am just gonna jump right in by saying my number one favourites this month has been The  Harry Potter franchise.  Since reading The Cursed Child I have been obsessed with everything Harry Potter, I have been watching the films and I am now starting the book series again. It brings back so many memories of when I first read it, making me feel like a child. I suppose I understand the books more now that I am older but fun facts about the films;
1. I had to leave the cinema before Prisoner Of Azkaban came on because the
 Dementors scared me so much, my little 8-year-old self couldn't handle it. LOL 
2. Goblet Of Fire is my favourite, (it may have something to do with Robert Pattinson) 
but I just love the whole concept of the games. 
and 3. Order Of The Phoenix is my least favourite, I think maybe because the
 book was so large but mostly due to the fact at this point the films became so dark :(
The whole thing makes me want to visit either HP Studios or Harry Potter World again!!!

To contrast my obsessed with the magical world, I have been loving 90210! Ever since I finished Gossip Girl, I was on the lookout for another series, I think I watched the first episode and gave up but I picked it up again and now I am hooked. So much has happened so far and I am only on season two so I cannot wait to see what continues to happen. At this point, I don't know who to feel sorrier for, Annie or Naomi.

Next up, has to be my Passionfruit Yankee Candle, I tend to just burn candles in the colder months but I found this and I thought I would give a go. It is very citrusy and has been giving my room a lovely summery scent.  It makes me excited about using candles all the time and I can't wait to get all the Christmassy/Autumn candles out.


Skincare favourites have been these two new products, Dermalogica 'Active Moist' and Liz Earle 'Instant Boost Skin Tonic'. After I was given a voucher for my birthday I thought I would nip into to Harvey Nics and pick-up a few more skincare products.  I have mentioned my love for Dermalogica before so it was must to see what other products they have. I picked up a set that contained 'Active Moist' as I have been looking for a new moisturiser for a while. It feels so light on my face  and gives my face such a refreshing feeling when I apply it.

I have also heard amazing things about Liz Earle but never thought to try anything, however, I have been loving this Skin Tonic I bought recently.  I apply this with a cotton pad after cleansing and I feel it just make my face feel that little bit cleaner. I know it is just another step in your skincare routine but honestly, it makes such a difference. It had given my a 'boost' and has helped tame my break-out.


Lastly, has to be my make-up favourites and that is these Nars Eye Shadow pencils, in the shades 'Hollywood Land' and 'Iraklion'. The shades are so pretty, the copper/gold eye will be perfect coming into Autumn. They glide easily onto the eye and with their creamy consistency makes them very blendable. I have been reaching for them when I am in a hurry or want a simple eye look, they are perfect.

Let me know what you have been loving this month, What is your favourite summer candle?
I really want to do some Autumn posts, let me know if you have any cool Autumn ideas!!
How have I done with my first flat-lay?
Have a fab day!

I spent waaaay to much money, eat out far too much, got burnt... But I gained out of this world memories, had a fab time with my family and archived a lot of things that I would never would of thought I would achieve.

So it goes without saying my Number One favourites HAS to be AMERICA! I never would of imagine myself in America, In Vegas... And definitely not in Harry Potter Land. 

The whole holiday was so amazing that I could talk all day but I want to do a full highlights post so I will stop there. ;)

Carrying on the U.S. theme my top TV series this month is 'New Girl'. It is super funny and such a fun show. It is so quirky and so easy to watch. 

It kinda sucks that it is only on the U.S. Netflix so I am binge watching them right now. I will definitely have to find some way do watching it. 

Theme of this post is U.S so I must mention my favourite store Francesca's. If I could I would buy the whole store, they store is super cute and totally my style, I made I post of my first purchases (here), I did however picked up a few another things which I am sure will feature somewhere.

I  could talk all day about how much I love the store so I will move onto my fav U.S candy. Ice Breakers. I have heard and seen a lot of people talk about how much they love this candy but I could never get my hands on them. 

I finally did and I am so happy. The Wintergreen mint and the Sours are probably my favourites.

The last item is not exactly American but I  had however been using and loving it over there. Daisy by Marc Jacobs Eau so Fresh was my holiday scent. Before leaving to fly to Vegas I had a quick look in Duty Free, I really wanted a summer fresh scent to take with me. This was just perfect. 

First of all the bottle is beautiful and is definitely what drew me in. It is pretty and if I could be a perfume bottle that would be be. It will fit ... in with my decor in my room. 

Secondly,  It is so light and sweet and is very girly, This will be my summer scent 2015. 

Lastly, I want to mention how lovely it has been having all the family together. It has definitely been a holiday to remember and I'm so happy to off spent it with my family. 

Soppy part over, I have been filming throughout  my holiday so expect vlogs soon. I am also upgrading my laptop so again bare with me. 

Coconut oil. I rarely have hair care products in my favourites because I never put a lot of effort into my hair. I wash and dry shampoo it and that is about it!!! But I have a wedding in July and I really want my hair to be in a brilliant condition, as well as longer. My cousin recommend Coconut Oil to help grow my hair. I bought OGX Weightless Hydrating coconut Oil. I can't really see hair growth so far but it has really made my hair feel super nice. It also smell so lovely, I would highly recommend.    

Zoeva 234 Luxe Smoky Shader brush. I bought this brush a while ago but have been loving it this month. Firstly I love the colour, it is so pretty. Secondly, I have been wanting a Zoeva brush for a long time so I am thrilled to have it in my collection. Thirdly, it is a very good brush. It is so easy to pack my lid with colour, as it holds a lot of shadow on the brush. It is super soft and I am in love with it.

In terms of TV programs I haven't had any new stand outs, apart Once Upon a Time, but that was in last months favorites. I have however been loving Spotify Chill Out Playlists. I have always stuck to the albums  I am familiar with but I venture out and found the best laid back playlist. I love to have it on in the back round, whether I am reading or writing. In fact I have it on just now. It is so calming and 'Chill' Two sounds that have stood out and I have played on repeat are Kodeline- The One and John Mayer cover of XO.
Last but not least I will mention my food favourites. As you can tell from my last post, I have been loving Corn thins with Almond butter with Strawberries. But Vegetables Crisps HAS to be my number one this month. I could seriously live of them. I don't know if they are the healthiest things to eat but I don't care ;) Marks and Spenser or Costa Coffee probably do the best. 

Beauty. 

I love the velvety matte texture of the lip crayon, it makes my lips feel super soft and moistured. 

'Berry'

Tanya Burr Galaxy Palette 

This palette screams Autumn. It has the most gorgeous gold shades and is perfect for Autumn looks. 

I have been grabbing this a lot this month. 

I did a review on this here

Gel Sensational nails

I go through phases of loving painting my nails and then hating painting them.

Right now I am going through the phase of loving having shellac nails. 

I got this kit for my Christmas last year, it does take longer to do but it is totally worth it. 

It doesn't chip and you don't have to wait on it to dry. 

Black, Coral and Berry have been my go to colours.   

I am planning a full Autumn/Winter fashion favourites so keep a eye out of that.

 But this month I have been loving been able to wear my scarf, I purchased this scarf at the start of the year from H&M and I love it. It is so soft and I love the colours. It is a must have for this season. 

How cute are these?

Primark Pjs

I have been needing to clear my old pyjamas out for a long time but I haven't found the perfect pair to replace them. So when my sister and I went for a shopping trip, I popped into to Primark.

 I am not a big Primark lover anymore but I am really impressed with their nightwear section. 

I opted for two sets. 

This is my favourite as I like to think I am a princess ;) 

Whereas the other set was a maroon Bambi set,  I love the colour and it is perfect for winter. 

Both are super comfy and very cosy. 

Gabrielle Aplin- Light Up the Dark 

If you haven't heard of Gabrielle you 100% have too. I have a massive for a long time and I am so proud that she released her new album this month. 

I absolutely love it, it has more a pop/rock vibes but it fits her voice so well. 

I am also excited that tonight I will be attending her gig :)

Check her out.

The best meal I have ever cooked.

Chai Tea

I am normally a Green Tea girl, but since the colder weather has begun I find myself craving and good old milky tea. Chai tea hits my cravings, it has a sweet cinnamon taste and it reminds me so much of Christmas. 

Lastly and definitely number one, 

'What is your favourite Fall Vegetable?

-A Sweet Potato' 

Yes, I have ate so many sweet potatoes it is unreal. 

Sweet potatoes fries or Baked Sweet potatoes.

They are one of the super food and they are super tasty.






Let me know what are your September Favourites?
What you looking forward too?

If you know me,  you will know I love a good Victoria's Secret shop. Without putting them online, I purchased a lot of underwear as they are the comfiest things ever! 

Surprising I didn't go all out and refrained myself from going overboard. 

I did pick a few items, first one (top left)  is this 'Vitamin Sea' tank top. I actually saw this Anna Saccone-Joly snapchat and fell in love. I absolutely love the colour and think the saying is too cute. 

Next up, (top right) is a simple PINK long sleeved white top. I have been looking, in general,  for a top like this, it has 'PINK' all the way down the back which I think is so cute. It is  perfect for lazy days or a casual outfit.

(Bottom Left) I finally got my hands on VS pjs. I've looking for a set like these for a while, I just love the idea of having VS pjs. There was a lot of summer sets but I wanted a long set. I got my hands on this gorgeous white and pink set. They are quite thin but surprisingly they are still warm. I don't know why but  I feel like someone from Gossip Girl whilst wearing them, but I have fallen in love.

(Bottom Right) Last thing in the picture is a VS gorgeous floral Sarong, the print is just gorgeous and it is really soft, I haven't had any use of it just now but I do love the spring/summer print! 

Last VS items is a PINK Bralet . It is very similar to my Calvin Klein Bralet I received at Christmas, but as I wear that a lot I thought I would buy something similar. It is very comfy to chill in and I adore the colour.

Last fashion items I bought where from Zara. I have never been in a busier shop than the Zara we were in Soho. We waited in the changing room queue for just under hour, yes the changing room queue! It was insane, and we have no idea why we did it. I ended up picking up two pair of leggings, a strip baggy dress, the 'Girl Gang tee' and this 'Are you Gluten Free' cropped tee. I didn't even try this on as I seen it after but as you know I am Gluten free so it was must!

MAKE-UP

 MISCELLANEOUS 

Hope everyone had a great Easter!!!

Happy May , Hope everyone had a fab April. My monthly favourites have came around so quick so here it goes. 

Happy Sunday!! It's unreal how excited I am about the fact I am doing my June favs! I say this every month but how on earth are we half we through the year. My holiday and birthday  are so close and I can't believe it. This month I only have gathered a few favourites.   

                           

21 days guys, 21 days until Christmas!!

Who is excited that I am doing my November favourites? I am!

November flew by and now its the official countdown to Christmas.

It was a crazy month so I do apologise for this post being late, But hers  is my November favs!

First favourites of the month has to be Redken Shampoo and Conditioner. In the summer I got highlights to lighten my hair and then recently I dyed the bottom half of my hair. I have never dyed my hair before this so my hair was in a good condition. Since dying it, it has felt weak and like straw. It was frustrating because like I said my hair has always been soft. My hairdresser recommended these products. I was a bit weary since I have quite oily hair but it has worked wonders. My hair has became soft again and the products smell amazing. It has been a major lifesaver and I would highly recommend.

Next up is PINK 'Hot Crush' body lotion and body mist. I have been loving the warmer smell of these. I used 'SunKissed a lot throughout the summer but this is perfect for this time of month. The scent is Jasmine mixed with warm caramel.

 I did write a review/haul about all the PINK products I bought whilst in America here. 

The body lotion is fab on my skin and the body mist is great after the shower. 

I have also been loving my 'Let It Go' Primark pjs, a few months I bought a Princess Pjamma top but it was 3/4 sleeves so it got cold whilst I was sleeping so I purchased this. They are super cosy an so cute. 

My favourite bath bomb has to be 'Father Christmas'. It smells like 'Snow Fairy' and it turned my bath green, it was really moisturising and made my skin really soft.

I am so tempted to buy another one! 

Lastly and probably my favourite has to be 'Let It Snow'. I was given this book as a gift for my christmas a few years ago. I have only really read the book in full once so this year I am determined to finish it. 

It has three different stories but they all come together at some point of the book. I would definitely give it a read. 

December will be such a exciting month, hope you are all having a great day!!!

The fact I am sitting with the curtains shut, with my candles burning and my cozy pjs on, writing my October Favourites makes me extremely happy.
