December Favourites 2016

This month I have been loving all of these lovely goodies.

I love Yankee's Raspberry Sundae candle. I got a gift set with 6 votives in for Christmas last year and I still hadn't burned this one. It smells delicious.

I opened my EOS lemon drop lip balm this month because my previous EOS lip balm was coming to an end and wow! I absolutely love the lemon drop one. It is my favourite that I have used so far. It has a lovely lemon scent and the consistency is great; smooth, forming a protective barrier on my lips to prevent them from drying out.

This month was the first time I have ever used Original Source's mango shower gel and I absolutely love it. The scent is amazing!

I have been wearing Andrea Fulerton's Gemstone Overcoat over the top of dark red nails during the Christmas period. I only ever get this overcoat out around Christmas. It is impossible to find in the shops now and my bottle is just under half full so I am dreading running out. I have had it for a good few years and have looked online for similar products but all of the products that this has been compared to seem to be no longer available either!

I have been using Champney's Exotic Retreat Body Glow which is a lovely fine body scrub. It smells really nice and leaves my skin so soft.

For Christmas I bought Vera Wang's Lovestruck and Lovestruck Floral Rush for members of my family, which encouraged me to reach for mine. I have been wearing Lovestruck a lot this month and I absolutely love it!

I wouldn't usually put a drink in my favourites but Shloer deserves a mention. It is the only non-alcoholic drink worth wasting calories on. I had Shloer white grape with my Christmas dinner, but I have been buying Shloer Light white grape which tastes the same to me and has 22 calories per 100ml. Stevia leaf extract is the sweetener in it. I love it!

My final favourite is my tourmaline ring set with three stones. I wore this all the time towards the beginning of the month. I almost lost it in a hotel room so I am extra grateful for it now!

March Favourites 2016

These are my March favourites.

First of all my sister bought this Original Source Tropical Pineapple shower gel for me and it is lovely. You hardly ever find pineapple scented toiletries. I love this, but have been trying to savour it as it's quite difficult to find in the shops.

I have been loving Marc Jacobs Lola eau de parfum this month. It has a lovely, floral scent without being as sweet as you may expect.

My hair straighteners broke recently so I managed to scrounge my sister's old GHD straighteners from her. They are the white ones with a pink design on them. They were a limited edition design a few years ago. I love GHD straighteners. They work really well.

My husband got some Avon Senses grapefruit and cedarwood hair and body wash for Christmas which he has been using this month and I love the scent. I don't use it on my hair; just as a body wash and the scent is great, but the lid is a nightmare to open.

I have rediscovered Avon's Luxe polished rose lipstick this month and I love it. It is easy to apply, feels comfortable and is fairly long wearing.

I love this check scarf that I bought a few months ago. It is really soft and I love the pattern.

I put these tanzanite earrings in for the first time this month. I bought them last year from one of the jewellery channels. They are comfortable and look very pretty.

My March 2015 favourites last year included this navy dress from Boohoo.com and this March I have been loving it all over again. It is really comfortable and flattering and it is easy to dress up or down.
