*This post contains gifted items but all views and opinions are my own.
I had a lot of fun writing my last favourites post so I’ve decided to bring them back. They may not happen each month but I’m going to give it a try. As is usual with me, I’ve split the post up into categories and I’m hoping it will keep my thoughts organised. Wish me luck!
Reading
I’ll be posting a proper reading challenge update at the end of June like I did for January to March but I do like a mini re-cap now and then. I’ve been catching up with the Ladies Murder Club series by James Patterson as well as the new Magnus and Alec book by Cassandra Clare.
I’ve not been doing as much reading as I would like though but I’m hoping that will change when we’re on holiday in June.
Watching
I’ve been binging Gossip Girl as I find it nice to have on in the background while I’m blogging or taking pictures. I’ve also been having a massive Vampire Diaries rewatch too. I’ve been putting off starting new series as I’m anxiously awaiting the start of the Good Omens TV show on Amazon Prime video.
I’ve also been to see Avengers: End Game as it came out the weekend before my birthday. I won’t post any spoilers as I’m not that kind of person but it was great to see it in the cinema with an ice cream in hand.
Using
April was a month of working my way through some gifted items. The Cetraben Oatmeal Cream* has been amazing at clearing up any redness due to eczema scratching. It was sent to me along with the Kilner jar and spoons in the pic. The jar was meant to be for overnight oats but I felt that mini oat biscuits were a much better food item to fill the jar with.
I was also kindly gifted the Latest in Beauty Spring 2019 box*. Unfortunately, the box is no longer on the website but most of the products are available via their subscription service. It’s a service I’ve used before as it’s a great way of trying products without committing to full sizes if you’re unsure. The Spring 2019 box has an amazing mix of brands and products and I’m having fun working my way through them all.
Buying
I’ve repurchased a full size of my now holy grail Pixi Rose Tonic. I use it after my toner and I love it. It really calms my skin especially after a hot shower and I needed to buy more before my holiday.
I’ve also found myself wandering into Hotel Chocolat when I’m on a break at work and buying more of my favourite Cashew Praline chocolates. They have a hint of sea salt in there too which means they’re not as chocolatey as you think they will be.
Doing
I went to an event with the Body Shop at the Sauchiehall Street store in Glasgow. This was introduce us to their new range of masks and the new mascara too. There were so many amazing bloggers there and it was a great time. We were also gifted a goody bag at the event which included a sample of a mask of our choice. I went for the oatmeal (big shocker) as it should be good for my rosacea prone skin.
