Hey cats!

So I'd missed a few of the favourites which I'm terribly sorry for, honestly you haven't missed much though. My favourites have pretty much remained the same as I'm in 'creature of habit mode' and haven't felt the need to try anything else new. Here are the things I've been loving since March!

Technically this is my Mum's buuut it is just left in the shower so I'm classing it as community property. Naturally as a lover of the smell of coconut I had to try this and blimey it's good! It smells good enough to eat, probably the best smelling coconut product I've ever come across which is why they tell you on the back that it's not food. Anywho, it's a fab, quick exfoliator that leaves your skin silky smooth and lightly scented, and it just feels like such a treat when you use it. Other great things? The packaging is - in my opinion - really neat and looks great in your bathroom, it's also super cheap coming in at £2.99 a pop (and it's half price at the mo!) and their products aren't tested on animals. TreacleMoon also do a lot of other yummy smelling collections (shower gels, body butters etc) and 'flavours' ranging from lemonade to marshmallow, ginger to apple pie; honestly there's loads to choose from. I personally can't wait to get my hands on some more of their wonderful bathtime beauties!

I may be slightly biased on this having never used other lotions so I'll keep it short, but when I got my tattoo I was recommended this balm and I haven't been disappointed with it. It is moisturising enough without leaving a greasy residue everywhere, it feels really nice to put on, it smells amazing and a little goes a long way. What I love about this is that it isn't tested on animals and it's full of natural ingredients and vitamins to help nourish your tattoo whilst healing as well as keep it vibrant after healing. Plus it's also pretty cheap and if you're near the Manchester area, the place where I get inked and pierced (Holier Than Thou) sells it cheaper than the actual website so hit them up here. They're also fabulous at everything body mod wise!

Yet another product passed on from my Mum (she changes products so quickly soon as she finds something else advertised as better). This little wonder of a make-up remover makes taking your slap off at the end of a long day an absolute joy rather than a chore. I imagine plenty have been in my shoes, buying all the so-called waterproof make-up removers and having them either burn your eyes or leave you standing there scrubbing at your lashes until your mascara finally comes off, despite them saying 'oh it'll just wipe off real easy'. No more of that! A product that actually works AND is gentle on your skin with the added bonus of no blotchy red eyes from all the rubbing until your cotton pad disintegrates. I just hold it on my eye for a few seconds then wipe away gently a couple of times and its all gone. It doesn't flare up my sensitive skin, it isn't greasy and I find it lasts.

I was actually very surprised reading the reviews on their website that many were negative, praising instead a previous lotion version. Having not tried that myself I obviously cannot compare, but personally I think this does a brilliant job and I'm always a fan of a product that does what I says. I'd still highly recommend this as I struggle to find fault with it!

A little bit of a silly one but I only just tried this from the new maple range the other day and I'm totally converted from my usual iced caramel latte. I was scared the maple would be too sickly sweet but it's actually smoother than the normal caramel and mixes really well with the coffee. If you haven't already and you're into iced coffees, I'd definitely recommend this a million times over!

Here's to a jolly June!

Hey cats!

Sorry for the radio silence; college and life in general took the wheel and blogging unfortunately had to take a backseat! Here's a little update, hope you enjoy!

The other week I went out for a nice little shopping day at Meadowhall Sheffield. It's been a long time since I've been properly shopping in 'high street' stores because as soon as silly season hit at the start of September with everyone going crazy for Christmas, I started to hibernate from shopping. I do it most years, because shopping is difficult any time in the year when you have social anxiety so naturally I'd rather avoid the busiest time of year! On the plus side, because I couldn't completely quell the urge to shop, I started majorly getting back into thrifting; having days going around all the charity shops locally and checking out vintage haunts such as Bygone Times. This was an eye-opener for me as I'd not done this in a long while, and at the time I was switching up my style because my tastes had changed, I got so many new essentials for the fraction of the price I would have paid on the high street. I also came across so many branded items that were practically new and were still so cheap, including Hobbs, Asos, BooHoo, Topshop and Per Una to name a few. Keeping up with this I've pretty much given myself a new wardrobe made up of mainly charity shop bargains and vintage pieces which haven't broken the bank. Now we're well out of Christmas and sale season I feel like I've found a healthy balance between the two, and always check charity shops first if I can, rather than immediately splashing out. I feel much more prepared for when the summer madness descends and I don't have to hit up many high street stores to find what I'm looking for.

Despite the occasional shopping trips I've mostly spent my college free time relaxing and keeping on top of my health, eating good food, seeing my friends/boyfriend, playing games and taking walks whenever the sun is out!

I hope you're all having a lovely 2015 so far and many apologies it's taken so long to post again!

Here's to balance and wellness!
