I'd love to know if this is even interesting or if I should zip it- feel free to feedback your comments at the bottom.
My boys (loves of my life) will always be my top faves, but my partner would hate for me to put a pic of him on the blog. Puppy cuddles have been plentiful around our home in May- our little bear has been such a snuggle bug and I just can't get enough! The weather has been delightful and Pinot sure knows how to catch some morning rays.
Girly catchup have made May heaven, Offspring Nights and a trip to Mudgee have
really reminded me of how lucky I am and how important it is to have
lady loves of your life. Mine are always armed with wine from pity party
to celebration and are always willing to go in for extra scones. With
my ladies more is more- in the best possible way.
The cooler weather has really gotten me in the mood for scarves! In May I've pretty much lived in this Witchery grey marle Pom Pom number. It's so lush, big, soft and comforting to wear. I bought it last year but I saw it again in-store so I think its been repeated. You can have a look here.
My next favourite for May is Skechers! If your a 90's kid you might remember the ads with the slogan 'it's the S' for me it's the S, T, U,V, W,X,Y, Z, L, O, V, E! I've pretty much been an unmotivated sloth who'd rather do anything but exercise (ironically when I have gone to the gym I've had smashing sessions- so I really don't know what the problem is). A sure fire way to get myself fired back up is new gym gear & as a shoe lover, trainers do the trick. This pair have memory foam lining and they are awesomely grey marle like a t-shirt. Coming from the Flex Appeal range they move and contour as you walk/ train. They are my new gym buddy:
In line with my no training, desert has been on the radar! Why is it that being unfit goes hand in hand with noshing deliciously fattening foods? Uh honestly though I've been loving an array of sweet treats- I give you below macarons, sticky date pudding, tart tatin and lemon slice. (Not shown: triple choc brownies, chocolate ice-cream, numerous blocks of Lindt strawberry, birthday cake, scones with the lot & the delicious rose water cupcake I inhaled all before the photo op). May sure has been the sweetest month!
Being mostly a beauty blog I'd better touch upon the skincare & cosmetic products that have been my go-to this month.
I've become obsessed with my new Mary Kay lipgloss pot that I received in May Lust Have it! So creamy and such a heavenly shade- see obligatory trout pout below:
Skincare wise I've been loving Korres Milk Cleansing Emulsion- way less stripping & smells amazing.This particular one leaves your skin squeaky clean and feeling soft and fresh.I'm not normally a huge cream cleanser fan but this one changed my mind. I'm a huge Korres fan, infact I'll have to do a Korres post sometime.
In winter I shower at night to avoid freezing in the morning- Bioderma cleansing water in the mornings has been a godsend- I avoid freezing facet water as much as possible (except of course hand washing!) Basically this stuff is a liquid cleanser that you swipe over with a cotton ball, it's incredibly effective and gentle at the same time- I used a similar Garnier and Clarins one in the past- it definitely measure up and above.
Finally, I've been trying out a few hair oils/ hair treatments in May after my hairdresser used one on me that I liked- I was finally convinced that it might be OK to put oil in my hair (self confessed greasy-hair-o-phobe) & I can definitely see the benefit. I've sampled a Peter Thomas Roth oil & a Living Proof anti frizz cream and ended up buying a Schwartzkopf 'oil miracle volume amplifier'. It's basically made my hair feel lighter, softer and more manageable- all wins.
So that's May favourites- (first favourites ever) - let me know what you think! Has anyone else been a sweet toothed fatty?
What made your month of May 2014 bliss?
