February Favourites

I had a really wonderful February. As always the months fly by so fast, it's hard to take time out to really think and evaluate everything that is happening. I started healthy eating this month, I am not great with diets etc I knew I had to change my eating habits so I a, trying out Slimming World EE. It's going really well and I feel better already. Hence the picture of the toast above (my favourite breakfast!) which I can still eat.....sparingly. I hope you all had a lovely Valentines Day, I definitely was spoiled. My boyfriend took my to Birmingham Sealife Centre (I love sea life!) apart from it being super busy it was an awesome day out. I was then treated to a three course meal in a really quaint country pub just a couple of miles out from where I live, it was quiet and there weren't tons of other couples doing the same thing which was nice. Later in the month I went to Professional Beauty London and had an awesome day, and bought loads of new nail polishes! You can check out my haul post here. 

Song - Mark Ronson Uptown Funk. I have been dancing around in my bedroom to this song, singing it in the shower absolutely obsessed. It has a great old school James Brown tone and I can't get enough! I also LOVED Ed Sheeran's cover of Christina Aguilera's Dirty in the Live Lounge last week you can find it here.

Blog - I have been loving Sophie's blog A Private Life Of A Girl which you can find here. She is so creative and inspiring with her blog posts, she has her own jewellery brand is just an all round amazing blogger. Her posts are so interesting to read especially if you have your own business, they are really helpful. Also her photography is lovely.

Drink - Not going to lie, coffee has been a lifesaver for me this month. Nescafe Espresso is my new fave coffee, it strong and sweet just how I like it!

Food - Obviously toast..... but I have also been loving pomegranates I have them everyday for breakfast they are a super fruit so are really good for you. I also made pineapple fried rice which sounds awful but it's so yummy.

Nail Polish - I have to say my new OPI polish from Professional Beauty London, from the new Hawaii collection called This Color's Making Waves it's just beautiful.

Makeup Products -  My UD Naked Basics palette has been a staple this month I have used it quite a bit, along with the  Bourgeois bronzing primer I absolutely adore this product!

Randoms - I have been loving my Body Shop cocoa butter products that I got from Oli for Christmas, they smell soon good! I have just started watching the TV series Sons Of Anarchy, I'm up to season 2 at the moment and loving it, it's dramatic and slightly violent at times but there are some great stories plus Charlie Hunnam is so easy on the eye!

January Favourites

January just flew by for me, I can't believe we are in February already! After recovering from tonsillitis over Christmas & New Year I finally feel healthy and back to normal. I had a lovely birthday (on the 15th of January) and I was utterly spoiled. Other than my birthday I had a bit of a boring month! I spent most of my time working hard, as I'm saving to do some travelling with my boyfriend in America next year. I ordered quite a few nail polishes from the Models Own sale at the end of January which I can't wait to try out when they arrive! I am also dying to try the Essie Cashmere Matte collection which isn't a resort collection, they are usually released in February so hopefully we will see another collection released soon too! Anyway, on with the favourites of the month!...

Song - Earned It by The Weeknd (Fifty Shades Of Grey Sountrack) I don't want to jump on the bandwagon, however..... I love the Fifty Shades books, I read all three and fell completely in love with the story. This song has been getting me excited for next friday the 13th, as I have booked tickets for my friend and I to go and see it on the opening night!

Blog - Rotten Otter which is written by Katy. I love her blog and every time I see a new post on Bloglovin that I haven't read I immediately stop what I'm doing (If I can!) and give it a read. Plus Katy's photography is lovely. Her posts are short and sweet but not without her personality shining through. Rotten Otter is a must read. You can find it here.

Drink - I just can't stop drinking Black Forest Hot Chocolate's from Costa. Shoot me.

Food - I don't know what to write in the category, as I love so many foods. But I discovered Lychee's and have been loving them! Also my favourite Sable South African Grapes are back in Sainsburys so I have eaten a few punnets of those!

Nail Polish - After all of those dark, rich and luxe polish shades around Christmas I am now well and truly ready to transition into Spring and opt for brighter colours. My favourite that I painted in January was Fruit Sangria by Essie.

Makeup Products - Revlon Lash Potion Mascara is just wonderful, I wore it all of January. And Too Faced's The Bronze & Beautiful palette has been a godsend making me look slightly more sun kissed and alive in cold, dark January.

Randoms - I know Christmas is over, but I was still burning a ton of Cinnamon / Spiced Apple candles in January. I realise in February this is completely unacceptable and I need to stop this, however they are my favourite scent in candles. On the subject on scents, I have been loving my new perfume that my parents bought me for my birthday, Flash by Jimmy Choo. The bottle is beautiful and the perfume even more so.
