August favourites

Hi everyone,

 

August was an interesting month. I went away for a week, made new purchases and I also done my back in. So this months food is not as healthy as normal, by this I mean no sign of healthiness anywhere. After I done my back in it left me feeling quite low, so I will be honest, a bit of comfort eating kicked in. But I am hoping that once I have paid a visit to the physio in a weeks time I will be able to kick start back into routine as normal. Obviously I didn't let this get in my way with buying some new bits and bobs to try. This month I would say look forward to seeing some old flames, new loves and pastries galore.

 

Hair:

 

- Batiste dry shampoo for blondes

 

You will recognise this from my July favourites, that shows what an impression this made on me. I will be honest this is my second tin, crazy right. But I go through this like no tomorrow. This is super nice and blends into my colour really well, even when I have roots coming through. 

 

- TRESemme moisture shampoo and conditioner

 

Yes I know these bottles are massive but they last me ages. I really love this shampoo. I use to use it a while back and I then had a little break from using it. I then found these under my sink and thought I would give them a go again. I love the way this leaves my hair feeling. Its guaranteed to leave me with silky soft hair, which is a must when I colour it blonde. 

 

Beauty:

 

- Nivea protect and bronze sun cream factor 50

 

I am fully aware that this bottle is all in Spanish, but I got it while I was away. I love this sun cream. It is a tan activating one, which as someone who loves a tan, is amazing. This applies really well and doesn't leave you feeling sticky. I understand that a factor 50 is extremely high. But although I love the sun and sitting in it, the fact is I burn quite well if I don't use a 50. Which is what happened in Menorca when I attempted to use a factor 20. This is one thing that wont be happening again.

 

- Eden's Semilla Jojoba oil

 

You may recognise this product from a previous blog post where I reviewed this product. You can find that here. I wanted to add this to my favourites because for the pure fact that I used it for all of July and to be honest, fell in love with it. I wont rave on about it here, but it made my skin feel incredible and look amazing. If you want a full description of this product check out my review.

 

Food:

 

- Pastries including croissants and pain au chocolat

 

This was one of my go to breakfasts while I was away. As someone who intends to live life as healthy as I possibly can, pastries don't really come in contact with me very much. But when your on holiday why not. Having said this my love for pastries did manage to make it home with me as my mum thought it would be a good idea to buy them when we got back. I love croissants. The flakiness of the pastries to the buttery taste. For pain au chocolat, well its got chocolate in it, what's not to love.

 

Other:

 

- Cosmic Energy by Anne Jirsch

 

You probably do keep seeing this book pop up, but I am so enjoying it. It is not my usual read but a client lent it to me and said I would love it. She was right this book is incredible. Lets face it Anne is a genius and the work she has achieved is so inspiring. The activities in this book can be done by anyone as long as your in the right place. I am planning on reviewing this book for you, so keep your eyes peeled for that.

 

- Fitbit flex

 

I just had to get one fitness crazy thing in here and that's where my Fitbit comes in. I love it. I honestly now don't go anywhere without wearing it. I thrive from seeing how many steps I have achieved in a day to how many hour sleep I get at night. This is a clever little band and completely worth the money. If you want to know more about the Fitbit flex you can find my review here.

 

So they are some of my favourites from August. I honestly cant believe that month has already gone. But we have September now, so new things to love and my favourite season is just round the corner. What was you loving in August? Let me know in the comments. I hope you had an amazing weekend.

 

Love
