Book The Making of Us by Lisa Jewell. Lisa Jewell has got to be one of my all time favourite authors, not only are her books fantastic and you get absolutely sucked in to the lives of each of the characters, but I was introduced to Thirty Nothing (an amazing read) by my cousin years and years ago, so whenever I read something by Lisa Jewell I can't help but think back on amazing times with my cousin (my best friend, and basically my sister).


Nail Varnish Essie Lilacism I simply love it! I couldn't stop looking at my nails when I was wearing this!! See this post for a full review and photos


Face Product Avene Thermal Spring Water This stuff really has been an essential over the past couple of days.  I'm currently in Gloucestershire caring for my granny and boy oh boy is it hot! Not only is it hot, but there is no breeze and being from Cornwall I'm used to a constant sea breeze to take the edge off the heat (normally it's annoyingly chilly but now I could really do with it!) So this spray has been used regularly to instantly refresh me, the metal spray can means the product is always cold regardless of the room temperature.


Lip Product Maybelline ColorSensational Popstick I love the smell of this, and how easily it glides on to the skin. A perfect summer lip balm with a hint of colour.

Hair Product Aussie Miracle Moist Shampoo and Conditioner To be perfectly honest I don't know how much 'good' these do my hair in the long run, but they certainly make is appear silky smooth and they smell divine so I'm happy! 


Drink Marks & Spencer Blackcurrent High Juice, throw in some ice cubes and cold water and voila perfect summer drink! 


and last but by no means least my favourite thing overall has been THE SUN I feel like a new person when the sun is shining and I just love it!! 

I hope you are all well and enjoying the sunshine!

Current Loves...

Book  White Wedding by Milly Johnson.  This woman writes the literary equivalent to chocolate, you just want to gobble them up and they make you feel soooo good (I think they're a smooth Galaxy...mmm Galaxy).  If you haven't read anything by her, you are missing out.  I read the whole book in a couple of days and then feel bereft once I've finished! 

Hand Product  Phenomen Oil by Jessica.  I love massaging this into my cuticles before I go to sleep so it can work its magic overnight.


Nail Varnish Essie Cute as a Button, it's just a gorgeous summery coral that lets me believe that it's June despite the torrential rain outside! Check out this post to see this nail varnish for more detail.

Face Product  Honey by Bees! Refer to this post if you want to know what I'm talking about!


Lip Product  Blistex Lip Massage This stuff smells absolutely divine and because it's Blistex you know it is doing you some good! I'm not sure that the 'massage' actually elevates the cracked and flakiness of my skin but for the smell I really do not care!

Hair Product Schwarzkopf got2b guardian angel 220C heat protection  it makes your hair feel so silky, and it sprays in a fine mist which is nice.

Food  Percy Pigs from M&S.  Enough said.

Website  YouTube  I spend hours watching beauty video after beauty video and never get bored! and Blogger.com of course, because I am officially addicted! 

Music  The Lateness of the Hour by Alex Clare this album is just amazing and has got to be played loud! Check out the YouTube video below! 

What are your current favourite things?

Mostly I've been...

Reading: The Girl on the Cliff by Lucinda Riley - I really enjoyed this, the interlinking of stories is beautiful
My Life on a Plate by India Knight - this book made me laugh and laugh, it's nice to read something expressing life from someone who isn't a size 8, who swears and isn't perfect!
The Pink Hotel by Anna Strothard - I really enjoyed this book too, it was quite strange at times but really interesting.


Loving: The sunshine! It makes everything better.  I really do believe it should be bottled and prescribed as medicine.


Appreciating: My wonderful family.  My brother turned 21 this weekend and we had a fantastic party and it just made me feel really lucky to have them all, I loved it that we all pulled together to create a great party! 


Eating: My love affair for pitta breads and ice is still going strong but I've recently rediscovered Golden Grahams in Tesco...I feel like my life is complete.


Doing: Filling in applications for college to do beauty therapy...I've got one interview so far...scary stuff!


Watching: Britain Unzipped.  I love hearing the strange and slightly wrong things that get aired! 


Wanting: A bikini body! 


What about you, what have you been reading, loving, appreciating, eating, doing, watching or wanting?


I hope you're all well
