June Favourites

Remember:

“Perfection is annihilation. It paralyses us from working from the heart. Humans by nature are not perfect and imperfections are what make the world beautiful.”

Some days you may feel exhausted, unmotivated and unhappy, and you might beat yourself up over that and punish yourself for not working harder. It’s incredibly easy to let that bad day affect you. I’ve had a fair few of them myself this month. But know that you are human, imperfect by nature. You’re allowed to feel lazy and unaccomplished. Please don’t be a fool who believes that these bad days are exclusive to you, but take comfort in the fact that everyone has them

We cannot be perfect 100% of the time. And no one expects us to be but ourselves.

Onto the favourites...

This month I finally took the plunge, and in a retail-therapy induced online shopping spree, I brought this pink Zara faux leather biker jacket. I kind of feel like Barbie when I wear it (and I totally love that).

Now I’m not one to usually get breakouts, but that means when I do, the whole world seems to be coming to an end. This Cloud 9 Skin Clarity Spot Gel has been an absolute lifesaver. I apply a thin layer to problematic areas morning and evening to help take the swelling of spots down and reduce visible redness. Plus, it sets like a dream so you can apply make-up over it - score! Another skincare favourite this month is the St Tropez In Shower Gradual Tan which is helping me build a healthy faux glow in time for my summer holidays. My last beauty favourite this month was the Real Techniques Brush Cleansing Palette which has made cleaning brushes (the bane of my life) quicker and more effective! 

Although it’s officially Summer in the UK, you wouldn’t know it. The shocking weather and thunderstorms has had me putting more miles in on the treadmill recently than on the pavement, so I’ve been using the Zombies, Run! app to keep sessions more interesting. And let me tell you, nothing gets you running faster than 100 imaginary zombies in your ear. Download free from the app store. 

Food favourites this month include: the limited edition Pip & Nut Maple Crunchy Peanut Butter (anyone else fancy starting a petition to Pip & Nut to continue this flavour indefinitely?); the Nakd Banana Crunch bars which are perfect as a little clean-eating dessert of an evening and these Garbanzo Dry Roasted Chickpeas that I have become obsessed with.
