May Favourites






Holy Cow, is it really June?
I feel like I'm forever saying where has the time gone? But I truly do mean it, it's June which means we're on month 6 out of 12, we are half way to December, How is this even possible?

I'm about start exams and then I'm on break. Woohoo!



So let's get into the favourite, shall we?



I have quite a few television favourite this month, with all my show's wrapping up, I've started investigating other shows as well as returning to some old favourites. The new season of Grace and Frankie came out on Netflix a few weeks ago and I binged it in like a day and a half. If you haven't check out this you need to.. Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, that is all. Also, if you are caught up.. 'I need gluten"


Two new show's I discovered in the past month are Quantico and UnReal. Two completely different show, but so good. Quantico is an FBI crime show with way too many spoilers for me to describe   but trust me if you are into crime shows like Bones, Blue Bloods, Criminal Minds, check it out. Unreal is set around a fictional dating show like The Bachelor and all that happens behind the scenes. It really highlights how manipulated and constructed these shows are but it's so interesting as well. If you like reality tv or are just interested a women centre drama, have a look :)



In terms of music, I've actually been listening to Sara Bareilles' 'What's Inside: Songs from Waitress' which is the concept album that Sara Bareilles released with some of the song she wrote for the musical Waitress. The album for the actual musical comes out this week I think but the songs are so catchy that I needed them now. If you haven't checked out Waitress the movie with Keri Russel or listen to the album it's on Spotify so have a listen.





Last weekend I went to the Gluten Free & Allergy Show and I was in heaven, that itself was a favourite of this month because I came home with 5 bags of Gluten Free/FODMAPs friendly goodness but I also discovered so great snacks. My favourite though are gluten-free chocolate covered pretzels, broccoli chips (sounds weird but they are so good) and quinoa wafers.

I thought I would include a spread of the month as well, My favourite planner spread in my PP. This is it. I loved the colour and it's definitely my favourite of May even when it was my busiest week of uni. Stickers from LinnizPlanner.


I have also discovered a new shampoo that I love this month as well. My hair is very particular about the shampoo I use, if it doesn't like something it ends up like brittle straw (YUCK!) but I needed to change it up and tried the and it's just amazing!!


Also in the hair department, I've also been loving Urban Fudge Dry Shampoo, it smells so good and is keeps my hair feeling fresh when I'm on three-day hair. It also doesn't leave white powder in my hair like most dry shampoo does in darker hair.

I also upped my skin care routine this month as I seem to be having a weird breakout happening at the moment. One my favourite products at the moment are Om SHE Aromatherapy, Moisturizing Restoring Night Cream with Rosehip Oil. It's super moisturising and keeps my skin protected throughout the night. I'm also using their eye cream and it's also just as amazing.


Now that we are hitting winter it's time to break out those dark lippies and the one I'm loving right now is NYX Soft Matte Lipcream in Monte Carlo. It's a beautiful lighter burgundy colour and stays on so nicely. The formula is not drying like so many other matte lipsticks, is easy to apply and are really affordable. Also on the plus side they smell super good and vanillary :)


I also discovered a new Youtuber that I love this month Kalyn Nicholson. I'm really enjoying her videos, they are really fun  and interesting to watch but are also rooted in inspiring yourself and being the best you, which I love.
Go check her out!!

For clothing this month, I purchased the comfiest cardigan this month. A black oversized, slouchy knit from Supre. I had my eye on it for ages and managed to grab it when it was on sale (Bonus), But its actually the best thing ever and goes with so many outfits.




Hope you all had a fab May and all have the most amazing June.

I'd love to know what some of your favourite were of this month, leave a comment down bellow :)
