June 2015 Favourites

Hey Everyone! I hope you're all well :) Seeing as I'm back to posting twice a week now I thought I would introduce back monthly favourites so here is what I have been loving this month :)

Canon 700D

I bought a new camera!! Wahoo! This is probably my all time favourite this month so it's only right it went first. I've been umming and ahhing at what one to get for months now but I decided on this one in the end. Now I just need to learn how to use it and improve my photography but I'm very excited! :)

I'm graduating with a 2:1!

Hmm technically this should be first haha! Nevermind :) I'm glad to say that I will be getting a 2:1 overall in Biomedical Sciences which I am super happy about! I'm really happy that these three years went well and that I will graduate with a good degree :) I'm also really happy that I got a First in my dissertation (78%) which I am really pleased with and I had so much fun in labs carrying out experiments for it :)

Grad Ball

Another favourite this month was going to Grad Ball, I love the dress I bought for it from Asos so hopefully I can wear it again and I'm so glad I got to spend an evening with some close friends from Uni :)

Summer Ball

Summer Ball was fun and I got to wear another princessy dress :) I love this peach dress which is a few years old from Asos and it was a nice evening spent on a boat cruising with some course friends.

Shopping!

I think another favourite this month are my various shopping trips but I think my favourite items include my mint dress from H&M, long cardigan from Primark and bardot top from Hollister.

Poundland Nail Varnishes

I am actually reaaally happy with these nailvarnishes and I usually grab one of these recently. I picked up a nude colour in Poundland and thought I might as well try it, it's only a pound, and it is one of my favourites! I don't know if it is my nails or what but I find they last for days without chipping and with a top coat I can get roughly 5 days wear which I think is really good compared to other brands XD So I've slowly been expanding my collection haha :) Compared to other £1 nail varnishes I think they are better than Primark and MUA :)

Argan Oil

Since I've been home I've been using Argan Oil on my hair after I wash it. I love the smell! I would eat it if I could haha XD I put it on damp hair, brush it through and then I let my hair dry and it doesn't feel oily or anything :) I bought this a while back from Primark and I forgot I had this until this month :)

Almonds

I'm not particularly keen on almonds usually but my parents bought these two tins from Lidl recently. They are amazing! One is Roasted and Salted and the other is Wasabi, and I really like them both! They are really cheap as well and they are sooo good! But so addictive! I have to stop myself from eating them all and I demolished a tin on my own in three days :') It could have been one but I tried to stop myself haha :D

Strawberries

Recently I mentioned that we've had a lot of strawberries at the allotment. It's been so nice eating so many everyday and mums made so many jams which should last us until next summer haha. The strawberries are pretty much over now which is sad but a lot of raspberries and other berries are nearly ready! :)

So these are pretty much my favourites this month, I hope you enjoyed them and I look forward to hearing what you've been loving recently :)

November Favourites

So! Carrying on from my October Favourites last month, it's now time for Novembers! This month went so quickly and it's scary to think that it's December already! It means Christmas and exams will be really soon and I'm not ready for them yet XD So on with this months Favourites... :)

LG Nexus 5

I fiiiinally got a new phone! And I love it! I went months without having a smartphone and used my brothers old slidey Samsung. I'm so indecisive it took me forever to pick a phone, in the end I'm really happy with what I picked and I'm loving the fact that it has a front camera XD *gasp* surely that's normal with phones? Yep, my previous one was oooold XD

Laura's 21st

It was recently one of my best friend's 21st birthday, so Ruth and I headed down to Plymouth to see her. We had such an amazing weekend it was so lovely to see my best friends again, I do miss them when I'm at Uni :) We had Nando's and went to Oceana in the evening and it was such a great night, we all had so much fun! :) Hope you had a great birthday Laura! :) <3

Sunday Roast

There;s a little pub down our road and we'd been meaning to try it since we moved in. We decided to go for a Sunday Roast Pub lunch and we were not disappointed! It was really yummy and a good price! Saved us from cooking it and it was nice to get up and do something instead of being lazy all day on a Sunday :)

I deadlifted 60kgs!

This month I managed to do 2 personal bests, the first one was 55kgs and last week I managed to deadlift 60kgs! :D I was so happy and proud of myself! Heck I still am haha! It's crazy because I never thought I'd be lifting my weight let alone even heavier :) I still remember the first time I tried doing deadlifts properly over the summer, it was only 22.5kgs but I genuinely thought my intestines were going to fall out.. look at me now haha :D

50 Shades of Grey

This is a bit of a controversial one, I wasn't sure whether to put it in, but meh XD I found the books in a charity shop for £1 each and thought why not, let's see what the hype is about XD I've liked reading them, some parts were a tad bit innapropriate :') Made me gasp and go *whaaaat that was unncessary!* XD But it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be and as bad as people were making it out to be :)

Explorer Spanish

My friend Yohe has also started a Youtube Channel where she's teaching Spanish phrases and giving other useful tips to people who want to go travelling to countries where they speak Spanish :) I'll be brushing up on my pretty much non-existant Spanish skills and I hope it goes well for her as it's looking good so far! :) You can find her channel here :)

So they were my November Favourites, some were a bit random but there were a few highlights from the previous month :) What have been some of your favourites this November? :)

October Favourites

I always enjoy reading everyone's favourites for the month so I thought I would start my own! October went very quickly and it was also my birthday so I got a few goodies which soon became my favourites :)

Whittard Luxury White Hot Chocolate

My good friend Ali bought me this hot chocolate for my birthday, at first I was a bit skeptical as sometimes white hot chocolates aren't nice but this is sooo yummy! It's nice and creamy and it's sweet enough (coming from the girl who usually puts 2 sugars in her hot chocolates) So I'm very impressed and when it runs out I think I will be trying more of their flavours :)

Pandora Earrings

My best friends Ruth, Laura and Sam all chipped in to buy me these beautiful earrings, they're the pink birthstone for  October which makes them extra special :)

Accessorize Bracelet

I love this bracelet. So much! It's so pretty yet simple and elegant so it's definitely my favourite! My lovely friend Ines bought me this for my birthday, she has such good taste!

Earrings, Barcelet and Necklace- Z for Accessorize

My dear friend Cho bought me this set for my birthday, my friends all spoiled me, In it came these pretty, gold plated earrings, bracelet and a necklace in a lovely aqua chalcedony, I like that they're so simple and elegant :)

Tartan Scarf from New Look

I looooove this scarf! When I first saw it I wasn't sure if it suited me as it's soo big but I really liked it so I thought never mind that it's bigger than me I want it! I pretty much wear it everyday, it's so warm and it's perfect to just throw over your shoulders like a shawl/blanket if you're feeling a bit chilly, perfect for student housing! :)

Attack on Titan

If you haven't watched this you should! I'm not really one for anime, although I do like watching the films, such as Princess Mononoke and Ponyo etc so when Catherine and Liam recommended this series I gave it a watch. The episodes are roughly 20 minutes each so you go through them quite quickly and I think I watched the series in a week! It's so so good though! I can't wait for the new season to come out :)

Orange is the New Black

I know I'm a bit late with jumping on this bandwagon but better late than never, after the girls in labs were talking about how good it was I went home and started watching it! I am hooked, it's so good! I would not survive in prison but that's not the point haha! Again I watched the first season in a week XD sorry Uni work! And now I'm taking it a bit slower with the second season haha, another series I would recommend! :)

So they're my October favourites! What have you been loving this October? And do you have any series to recommend for this month? :)
