November favourites

Hi everyone,
Over November I was loving a lot of things. So I thought I would write a blog post and share them with you. These things range from hair and beauty to food and random things. So here it is.


Hair:
-John Frieda sheer blonde colour renew tone correcting shampoo:
I spoke about this shampoo in my top 5 hair products post (November). I do truly love this shampoo from the smell to how it works. In the winter months my hair can get a bit dry from walking everywhere in the cold weather. This causes my hair to lose it shine. I just found this shampoo great for keeping my blonde bright and shiny, just what we need in the winter months.

-FHI Heat Platform straighteners:
I was first introduced to these straighteners when I started working at the salon. I love these so much. They have been my go to styling tool this month. As with the damp weather here in England I tend not to curl my hair as much. As by the time I have walked to work it has dropped out because it has got wet. These straighteners are great as you can select the temperature you want. Also they don't take very long to heat up so are great when you are in a hurry.

Beauty:
-Vaseline:
This is my go to lip product in the colder weather. As I find my lips get very dry from walking in this weather. I am currently using the 'rosy lips' Vaseline but I have tried them all. They are all very nice. This one smells lovely and comes in a pretty rosy colour. This is tinted and leave a pinkie colour on your lips. I love the idea of this as it means you don't have to worry about it looking like there's nothing on your lips. But it keeps them from getting dry.


-Benefit they're real tinted primer:
I got this as a sample in a magazine I purchased, and I haven't stopped using it since. This is the first benefit product I have ever owned, and it wont be the last. The colour is 'mink-brown' and I just wear this under my normal black mascara. I was very surprised when I first used this product at how much better it made my mascara look. My lashes are longer and lovely and thick after I have used this. Any benefit products you have tried and recommend? Let me know in the comments.


-Original source lime shower gel:
I normally buy soap and glory shower gels but when I needed a shower gel at the beginning of November I couldn't get to boots. So I picked this one up in Tesco's. This is not a let down at all, this shower gel smells incredible. It really does smell of limes and it bubbles up really well. This is guaranteed to leave your bathroom smelling lovely and fresh and just like limes.


Food:

-Snow bites:
These are chocolates that only come out at Christmas, and I love them. So when I saw them in the shops I couldn't resist and had to buy a couple of bags. They are dairy milk chocolate balls covered in a sugar shell and then covered in icing sugar. They have to be my favourite Christmas chocolate. If you haven't tried them, I recommend you do. What's your favourite Christmas chocolates? Let me know in the comments.

Other:

-Writing in my journal:
Throughout November I wrote in my journal everyday. I have loved having somewhere to write about how I feel, how my day has been and just everyday stuff. I will defiantly keep this up from now on. A journal is a great place to start if you want somewhere you can just write everything and anything down and not worry what other people think. I find this helps as I also write anything negative in there as well. This just helps to get things off my mind.


-Lily-Flame candle- Verbena:
A little while back I purchased some candles from Lily-Flame. I totally recommend this company as their candles are not only beautiful they smell incredible as well. Verbena has been constantly burning at home throughout November. This candle smells of lemons and I can only describe it as smelling like lemon sherbet. It is very fresh and fruity. I own 4 Lily-Flame candles and I highly recommend them.


-Simply home by Yankee candle- White linen & lace:
Yet another candle, but I do love and own many of them. This one I bought from Tesco's when we moved house in early November. I keep this in the bathroom as it is a lovely clean scent. I love nothing more than lying back in a bubbly bath with a candle burning just relaxing. This candle is the perfect scent as it is not to overpowering and is very fresh. I cant wait to try more from this range.


So they are some of my November favourites. What did you love in November? Have you tried anything I mentioned? Let me know in the comments.

Love
