My Monthly Favourites

It's the first week of a new month and I'm here to share some of my favourites from the last month. This will be a new monthly segment of mine where I'll talk about products I've loved with a specific angle for each month. This month is about all things me. Items that I love using, eating, and wearing.

Summer Vibes With Femme Luxe

Some days, it can get so hot outside you feel like you’re going to melt under the glare of the sun. Dressing for hot weather can be a challenge, especially when you do not want to sweat like crazy but still appear fashionable and put together. 

You can dress for hot weather by looking for clothing made of fabric and materials that will keep you cool as well as styles and cuts made for hot weather. Go for clothing made of cotton, linen, or jersey such as this Navy Rolled Sleeves Shirt Dress, as these fabrics will not constrain your body or cause you to sweat in the heat.

Josh Wood Colour Hair Care Range

They say that the hair is an extension of your personality and I think this is so true. I mean, when I'm having a fun month, I'll tint my hair pink. But then in winter, I'll go a shade darker, and in the summer, I like to go light.

I have been blonde my whole life though. Starting out natural - I have a dull blonde natural colour - but then going lighter as I got older as my ashy locks left me feeling a little boring. At the moment, my hair is really light blonde in a balayage style and is hard to maintain. Going lighter blonde means trying to combat the yellowing that comes with it.

Win A Maybelline Colossal Mascara

Lately I've been trying out a lot of new makeup products to see which I prefer the best. It's been a nice way to find brands I wouldn't normally try, and check out some products in different styles. But, what's better than trying out new makeup looks. Well that would be, trying out new makeup without paying for it. 

I do love trying new brands, new products and everything in between and so I follow sites such as WOW Free Stuff UK as they always find some amazing freebies and run some fab competitions. It's great when that post arrives and hiding amongst is a cool freebie, even better when it becomes an essential after finding that it's perfect for you.

Femme Luxe Clothing Haul

I have worked with Femme Luxe many times in the past on the body confidence section of Adventures of a Yorkshire Mum, and this month, they also wanted to work with me on here too. I picked out quite a few items, and split them between 2 posts, dresses over there, and everything else over here. 

Describing themselves as a 'current, classy and forward thinking online fashion brand', Femme Luxe produce clothing that can be worn for a night out, day wear and on special occasions, as well as just for relaxing in whilst at home.

A Spa Day And Afternoon Tea At Crowne Plaza Leeds

I't's not often I have a day to myself. Things can be pretty hectic in life these days. Between sorting the kids, working and going to the gym almost daily, I don't have much spare time. But every now and then, you need to make time for yourself.

Recently, Buy A Gift asked me if I wanted to try out one of their experiences as part of my Mother's Day gifts post, a spa access day was an option, and so I decided to take this, and enjoy a day of relaxation.

The Glossybox Mother's Day Limited Edition Gift Box

Glossybox are amazing when it comes to creating limited edition boxes for special days throughout the year, and it seems Mother's Day is no exception as they revealed their gorgeous Mother's Day edit. This limited edition skincare and makeup gift box worth over £100, retailing in the UK only. The beautifully designed box is on point and the brands included are really special.

You can just feel the Mother's Day vibe in all the products that have been included and I am certain that this would make an amazing Mother's Day gift. With brands such as bareMinerals, Laura Geller, Clarins and Yankee Candle are all featured in this Glossybox Mother’s Day 2019 edition box, there's a lot to get stuck in to.
