July Faves


Ok so I know we are nearly at the end of August and I am only now sharing my July faves, whoops but I am going try and do better for the rest of this year! My 7th month of faves is a small bunch, I spent a lot of time in July out and about making the most of the Summer! 


I used to use The Body Shop's Vitamin C face mist and loved spritzing it on to freshen up my face on a hot day or after a work out. This year they launched a whole range of new mists which I discovered thanks to Steph, who shared them on her Insta stories. If you are part of their 'Love You Body Club' they send you a voucher on your birthday each year and mine arrived just a after I discovered these mists. They were on offer so I decided to pick up two with my voucher, the coconut just because I love everything coconut and the mandarin which was my favourite from the scents I tried in store. They smell so good and have been perfect for this hot summer. Another tip Steph shared was to keep them in the fridge to make them extra refreshing! 

The Lion King Musical

I have now seen this musical three times! And let me tell you it's still as amazing as the first time I watched it! I took Susie for a Christmas/Birthday treat and it was her first time seeing it, I'm pretty certain she loved it too! 


I still haven't found the perfect eye cream yet so I am all about trying new ones. I was excited to try this one from Tarte, as I have a couple of their other products which I love. While I'm not sure that this eye cream is my perfect one either I do feel like its been keeping my delicate eye area super hydrated and I much prefer it to some others I have tried recently. Other positives, the packaging is super cute and Tarte is a cruelty free brand. 


My girl friends are the sweetest and set me this amazing gift for my birthday! I love trying out new perfumes and this present was so me. I had received a sample of one of Jo Loves fragrances earlier this year and really loved it. There's no where near me where I can smell these so this works perfectly. I get to try out all 10 fragrances at home and then get to order a bottle of my favourite. I haven't tried them all yet so I haven't made a decision on which one I am going to chose but the current front runners are Pomelo, No.42 The Flower Shop & White Rose & lemon Leaves. If you have tried Jo Loves leave me your favourites in the comments below!  


I had been lusting over these sandals for months and was so happy when I finally found them on super super sale for 70% off and they only had my size left! It's like it was meant to be! I love how comfy they are and the slightly cushioned soles. My last pair of Sam Edelman sandals lasted me for years and hopefully these will too, now if I could just find the tan version on sale too!  


My most favourite thing in July, this spot right here at the gorgeous resort we stayed at in Lithuania. I will share more about our trip in another post but for now I will share the place I loved sitting and reading my book and relaxing. I wish I was back there now!

The Plantation Garden

Hi Everyone! Sorry I have been so MIA again. The weather has been so beautiful this Summer that I have been busy making the most of it and since Sean actually has some evenings off in the Summer, sitting at my computer when I get home from work has not even been an option I have though about!

At the end of June my Mum & sister organised a surprise picnic birthday brunch for me and they took me to these gorgeous hidden gardens in the centre of Norwich. I just realised when uploading these pictures that we didn't get many photos of the 'garden' itself, I was too busy obsessing over these beautiful steps! Oh well we will just have to go back again and take some more! With all the sunshine we've had it really felt like we were somewhere in Southern Europe for the morning. And how cute it the little Fortnum & Mason basket?! I had been eyeing one for a while and they picked one up for my birthday for me!
