@johntuesday
The fact that it's the first day of July is a little scary because where the heck has this year gone? I feel like we celebrated Christmas & New Year, then we went into lockdown, came out of lockdown & now it's July. It just feels odd, but nonetheless, I've still got a few new products to share with you that I've been loving over the past couple of months.
Lush
While we were in lockdown I ordered a bunch of products from Lush. I ordered some all time favourites & some new bits & pieces to give a go. As many of you know, Lush is one of my favourite shops, not only for all their gorgeous products & scents, but also that they're cruelty free. They have something for everyone so I highly recommend you jump into your local Lush store & give them a go. All the products I've loved using this past month will be linked below if you'd like to look more into some of my all time faves.
Lush Ultra Balm All Purpose Balm
Lush Ultra Bland Face Cleanser
Lush Sleepy Bubble Bar, Soap & Lotion
Lush Honey I’ve Wash The Kids Soap
Antipodes
I'm extremely new to the brand Antipodes but the products I've used so far I've throughly enjoyed & my skin is looking amazing! Antipodes is definitely more of a high end brand but I don't mind spending a little extra when it comes to really good skincare products.
Antipodes Gentle Cream Cleanser & Makeup Remover
Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Cream
I love a good hair mask, especially one that is affordable & easily accessible. Garnier have some of the most beautiful hair masks & I throughly enjoy using them in my hair care routine.
Fructis Hair Food Smoothing Macadamia Mask For Dry & Unruly Hair
Fructis Hair Food Aloe Vera Mask For Dry To Normal Hair
Gro-Sure House Plant Products
It was actually well before lockdown that I became obsessed with house plants. I feel like now I'm not only the crazy cat lady but I'm also the crazy plant lady. After we came out of lockdown I picked up a few products that would assist my beautiful plants to grow to their full potential & I must say, they're looking fabulous. I highly recommend this brand if you're looking for a plant feed for your indoor plants.
Gro-Sure Houseplant Mist & Feed
Gro-Sure Houseplant Pump & Feed
Gro-Sure Cacti & Succulent Pump & Feed
Hand Creams & Nail/Cuticle Oil
With the increase amount of hand washing & use of hand sanitiser along with the colder months upon us, I've been using a bunch of different products to ensure that my hands, nails & cuticles are in a healthy state.
Palmers Cocoa Butter Formula Fast Absorbing Hand Cream
Dove Nourishing Secrets Hand Cream
Essie Apricot Nail & Cuticle Oil
Converse Sneakers
I've just recently just brought myself some new converse & they have been my go to sneaker for a long time now. They are super comfortable & versatile, looking great with any almost any outfit.

2020: Favourites #02
I'm not going to go into great detail about my favourite products this month because I feel they'll all pretty self-explanatory. Lots of hand creams because with all the extra hand washing & use of hand sanitiser my hands are so dry along with testing out a few moisturisers because my skin is already getting super dry as the weather is starting to cool down. There is also an in-depth review coming on the Evolu Triple Action Oil Control Clay Mask very soon!
Glade Candles: Glade have some of the most beautiful candles & if I'm being honest, I think I've been through three or four of them just this month which is crazy. I think with being at home more this month I've simply just had them burning for a lot longer but it has just meant my space as smelt amazing. Glade have some incredible scents & are easily asscessible from grocery store.
Oralife Lip Ointment: Winter is on its way which means that everything is drying out, including my lips. I always struggle to find something that keeps my lips hydrated for a decent period of time & I think I may have found the one product that'll keep my lips alive during the drier months, for now at least.
Thankyou Hand Cream & Vaseline Intensive Care Healthy Hands, Stronger Nails Hand Cream: With all the extra hand washing & the amount of hand sanitiser I've been using this month I've had to invest in a couple of decent moisturisers because my hands just aren't retaining any moisture whatsoever. The two above hand moisturisers have been huge favourites this month. Also, a good nail oil has been helpful for keep cuticles & hands soft.
Garnier Micellar Cleansing Water In Oil, Antipodes Vanilla Pod Hydrating Day Cream & Nivea Nourishing Day Cream: Dry & Sensitive Skin: Oh wow, look, more moisturising products! I've been loving the Nivea & Antipodes day creams for keep my skin hydrated throughout the day & the micellar cleansing water has been great as well, especially for quick & easy cleansing on days I either cannot be bothered or days we're I haven't worn makeup. It also comes in handy as a quick makeup remover before cleansing.
Evolu Triple Action Oil Control Clay Mask: Absolutely adored this face mask this month. I'll be doing a full review on it at some point in May so keep an eye out for that!
Lavendar Oil & Coconut Oil: Lavendar oil has been an essential for calming my space & making me feel a lot more relaxed in such an anxious time. Coconut oil is what I've been using as a natural cuticle/hand hydrator but coconut also can be used for lots of other beauty rituals like removing makeup, moisturiser & shaving!
Book; Sop Surviving Start Fighting By Jazz Thornton: An amazing book, written by an incredible person. I will say that does go into all kinds of depths of mental health & abuse but it's a beautiful story of a girl who was struggle & has now made an incredible life herself.
Forest Productivity App, Todoist Productivity App, OneDay Journaling App, 'Morning!' Gratitude App, Quizlet App & Zoom App: Highly recommend these productivity apps if you're looking for something simply, yet just enough to get you motivated & productive! They're all a bit different from one another but all have a solid place in my daily routines.

Favourites #01 For 2020
The past two months have flown by & I'm excited to share with you all the things I've been loving over the past couple of months! I am changing things up in regards to how often I post my 'Favourites'.
I was posting monthly but I felt that it was too often & I just didn't have much to share from month to month so I'm hoping that posting every other month will give me a chance to find more amazing things to share with you all.

2019: September Favourites
You have no idea how excited I am for the weather to start warming up! Summer is definitely one of my most favourite seasons & I'm so ready for it!
This month's favourites is going to have a slightly different format to all previous favourites that I've done before but I'm just trying a few bits & pieces out before making an permanent changes which will hopefully happen in the new year!
September has been a pretty relaxed month but my skin on the other hand hasn't be too happy! The duo products that have been making my skin chill out & clear up is the Essano Clarifying Clay Mask followed by the Cetaphil Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion. I have found these two products have been making such a huge different in my skincare routine. The clay mask helps draw out any impurities but also helps with keep my skin hydrated with ingredients such as Shea Butter, Aloe Vera & Rosehip Oil. Cetaphil's Daily Advance Ultra Hydrating Lotion is great for after I've unblocked pores & removed all dirt & toxins as it's non-greasy, fragrance free & won't contribute to pores blocking. It provides everything you could possibly need in an everyday moisturiser.
For the longest time I've been a big Maybelline mascara fan & I definitely tried my fair share. I was looking a trying something new, because why not, when the Clinique High Impact Mascara got gifted to me. This was about three months ago & I've been using it ever since. It's definitely a beautiful mascara which adds instant volume, length & definition to the lashes. It's definitely a product I'd think about repurchasing.
At this time of the year is when I'm hair seems to be the driest. No matter what I do to it, wash it or style it with, I'm still left with dry, terrible looking hair - until I tried this product! Pantene Pro-V Ultimate 10 BB Crème For Hair has been a lifesaver. It moisturisers, detangles & de-frizzes leaving hair looking so healthy! It's a leave it product that doesn't leave hair looking oily or feeling to heavy. It's versatile as it can be used on dry or wet hair, long or short. Will definitely be picking up another one when the times comes to needing it!
Back in July when I posted about the books I had read so far this year I mentioned a couple of books that I wanted to read next, well this isn't either of them but it's just as great! I'm currently reading 'History Is All You Left Me' by Adam Silvera & while I'm not that far into it, I'm bloody loving it! I cannot wait to give you my full thoughts & opinions once I'm finished it!
For movies this month I've got two that maybe you haven't already seen. They're both on Netflix & are super easy to watch. Both have incredibly stories behind them & they're the kind of movies we can all learn from. Southpaw & Single Mum's Club! If you've already seen either of them, let me know what you thought!
