This month I haven't really discovered any new favourite makeup items, at least not enough to warrant a whole post dedicated to them. So instead I decided to share a collection of some of the non makeup related things which have made their way into my favourite products this month.
I finally bought myself an electric toothbrush after years of using shitty cheap manual brushes and I'm in love. This is the Oral-B Vitality White + Clean, and it cost £17.50 (half price) from Tesco. My teeth have never felt so clean, even hours later and after eating they fell squeaky clean when I run my tongue over them.
I really really want whiter teeth, so in conjunction with this toothbrush, I have been using...
the Oral-B 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste. First of all, this toothpaste is purple, which automatically makes me enjoy it more, but it also feels nice on my teeth and doesn't have an overpowering taste like some other toothpastes. I'm already noticing a slight difference in the colour of my teeth, so fingers crossed they'll be sparkling in no time.
Lately, I've really been enjoying crop tops with high wasted bottoms. Being in the larger side, crop tops are never something I would have considered, until I saw this video from the beautiful MelonLady...
I purchased this little orange number from Select for £4 and I love it. It shows the tiniest amount of my tummy and I find it's really flattering on my shape when worn with high wasted skirts or trousers. It also makes me feel like I'm much slimmer, simply because I'm wearing a crop top.
My new favourite snack is super healthy (for a change), Tangy Air Dried Apple Chips from Perry Court Farm. My goodness are these delicious, and as they are air dried there is nothing in this packet except apples; tasty, crunchy, tangy apples. I bought these from my local Brown and Greens Farm Shop, but they can be purchased online here.
I have three new favourite drinks at the moment, two hot and one alcoholic.
First up is this Amaretto Almond Coffee from Beanies which cost around £2.50 from Sainsburys. Now, I'm not a huge coffee fan usually, but this stuff is damn delicious. It's got a lovely flavour without being overpowering or too sweet.
For those times when I don't want a coffee, particularly before bed, I turn to flavoured teas and green teas. This is the best of both, with a subtle caramel flavour this feels like a real treat, whilst still providing all the benefits of green tea. I love settling into bed with a good book or tv show and a nice hot cup of this tea.
Now for the alcohol. This is a Porn Star: Vanilla Vodka, Passoa, sugar syrup, passion fruit puree and a shot of prosecco. These are damn delicious, and have very quickly replaced long island iced tea as my favourite cocktail. I tried this cocktail at Missoula, which is my new favourite place to go. Lovely food, fantastic cocktails and the staff are really friendly and helpful, and more than willing to chat away to you.
My current favourite app is the Sleep Soundly Hypnosis App, which over the last few months as been a life saver. I struggled to sleep for such a long time before I discovered this, now within ten minutes I'm out like a light. I highly recommend this to anyone who struggles to get to sleep.
Finally, my very over talked about book favourite is The Fault in our Stars by John Green. I resisted reading this book for as long as I could, I hate being caught up in other people's book obsessions (with the exception of Harry Potter, my one true love) but after seeing it on sale on Amazon I decided to give it a go. I enjoyed this book way more than I expected (and wanted) to, and I even had a bit of a cry at parts. I will see the film, which I am also expecting to hate, as with every film adaptation of my favourite books (again with the Exception of HP).
What none makeup items have you been loving?
BYEEEEEEE xxxx
