2018: May Favourites | Hair Products, Face Masks & Jewellery


There was no favourites post last month due to me being completely overwhelmed with how busy things were last month but regardless I thought I'd share a few favourites I've come across over the past few months. Let me know if you've come across any new products that you think are worth me trying out.

I was gifted one of the most beautiful presents from one of my best friends for my birthday. They're the most gorgeous yet minimal rings. I love Pandora and I own several pieces of their jewellery but the Shining Wish Ring and Rose Linked Love Ring have to be a couple of my favourite pieces. 

I've used Essano Rosehip products in the past and been very fond of them. I was in need of a new clarifying clay mask so I thought I'd give this one a go and I'm loving it. It helps removes any gunk from the skin yet leaves the skin feeling throughly hydrated. I'm a sucker for products that smell good and this face mask has the most gorgeous scent which I would assume is the Rosehip and Shea Butter. 

My skin always seems the most dehydrated in the Winter months and I hate it. I'm always trying new products to see what helps hydrate my skin the most. I'm currently giving the Water Boost Hydrate Gel Cream by Simple a go and I don't have anything bad to say about it. I love that it's more of a gel than a cream, it seems to keep to skin hydrated and feeling plump throughout the day which is a big thumbs up by me. I'm not surprised I enjoy using this product as much as I do because I've loved some many other products by Simple in the past. 

This was another gift I was given for my birthday and you all know how I love a good face mask. This one is slightly different from all the others I have at the moment. Bunny Moon Jelly Face Mask by Lush has so many amazing properties to it I highly recommend checking it out. It helps keep the skin calm, clear and hydrated which is everything and more I could ask for in a product at this time of year.

Highly enjoy using this Matrix leave in treatment. It helps nourish the hair, boost shine, smooths cuticles, prevents breakage, heat damage and a huge amount more. The scent it gorgeous, leaving hair smelling incredible all day. For someone with lots of hair plus the curls this product is amazing.

What are some of your favourite product this month? 

Much love, B x

Highlights From The Past Month | May 2018


I didn't get around to publishing a highlights post last month because I was so overwhelmed and unprepared for how busy things were going to be after first moving. May has been completely different and I'm back on top of my game posting new content every Tuesday and Thursday at 630PM NZST so don't be afraid to check back in regularly. In the last 4-6 weeks there have been a bunch of great highlights including my birthday, Mother's Day and finally getting my restricted. May has been crazy busy but I finally feel like I'm slowly starting to get somewhere.

ANZAC Dawn Service
ANZAC Day is the 25 April every year and every year we've honoured those who fought for us and our country. My Pop fought over in Bueno, Malaya so ANZAC has always had a huge significance to our family. This year was no different to any other however this year I decided to attend a Dawn Service. It was a beautiful service and I'm really pleased I decided to get up at 530AM and freeze my booty off because it reality it was nothing compared to what these people did for us and our country.

Restricted
I finally got my restricted and I'm stoked! Having my restricted has lead to so much more freedom and independence but more importantly I no longer have to depend on others.

Christchurch: 2 Months 
I've been in Christchurch for roughly two months now and while I'm slowing losing my patience waiting for my house to be ready, I'm glad to be back. I'm enjoying being around friends and family all the time and it's great to be back in the old stomping ground. Can't wait to be in the house and to see what the future holds.

20th Birthday
On the 3rd of May I turned 20. While I didn't have a mid life crisis, I did feel slightly old especially when the kids at work said they thought I looked 30. Regardless, I had a fantastic day so thank you to all those that made it so special.

Mother's Day 
Last but definitely not least Mother's Day. Ever since my Nan passed, Mother's Day has been hard for our family. Last year we weren't able to all be together so this year we decided to make it happen. We had a lovely dinner together, laughs we had and memories were shared. It was the perfect way to celebrate the amazing women in my life.

Overall the last 4-6 weeks have been busy but exciting and I'm hoping for the same next month. I hope you all have had a fantastic month with June being just as great, if not better.

Much love, B x
