April Favourites 2017

Last month I struggled to round-up enough favourites to include in a post, but this month there’s been so many that I don’t think I can remember all of them.

These are my April Favourites 2017.

Urban Decay | Afterglow Highlight Sin

I remember when these first came. It was pretty much impossible to get hold of Sin. As it’s all I see everyone post about on Instagram. This highlight sits in a really pretty silver packaging with UD on the lid. The highlight it’s self is a beautiful champagne colour, as it is a golden beige type of colour. It is extremely pigmented and lasts all day.

Too Faced | Chocolate Bon Bon’s Palette

This is a palette that I used the odd shade out of every now and again, and I realised after wanting it so much for so long that I should be using it more. I gave myself a little challenge to create a look from the palette alone, and it actually became my go to. These shadows blend really easily, as I never have a problem of applying too much, and they’re all really pigmented.

Kat Von D | Liquid Lipstick Lolita

I’ve heard so many good things about the liquid lipsticks from Kat Von D that I just had to try one out for myself. I decided to go with Lolita, as this is one of the shades that I’ve heard a lot about. Lolita is a warm plum that is an absolutely stunning colour. It has a matte finish and lasts for ages, I did wear it whilst eating and drinking and that didn’t go so well, as the whole thing ended up having to come off.

Lashes

This month I have been really practising with lashes, and now I can’t be without them. The two brands I’ve been wearing the most are Ardell and Threads. I’d still say I’m not the best at applying them, but I’m hoping that comes with practise which is why I’m trying to wear them so much. I just love the look of having longer eyelashes, as for some reason I hate applying mascara. I love doing my makeup, but I just don’t have the patience to apply loads of mascara, and as I have short lashes it takes a good couple of coats to get anywhere.

Thorntons | Marc De Champagne Truffles

Yes, another food in my favourites that isn’t healthy, but it’s Easter come on. Plus they’ve all gone now anyway, so the healthy eating can commence. I picked these up on a whim and ended up falling in love with them and I think I could probably go through bags and bags.

Those were my April Favourites 2017.

Thank you for reading!

    You have a great favorite’s list! I love really want the Too Faced Bon Bons palette! It’s honestly so beautiful. I have both of their prior chocolate palettes, and this is the next one I’m going to collect! I also really like the color Lolita. I remember when you posted it on instagram, and it looked lovely on you! Everyone’s been talking about this color, and it seems to be the one I need (or not really need, but totally want). You gave me so many things to add on my wish list xxx

We didn’t stop for food this time, but we’ve made a mental note to come back as everything looked so good!😋

Both kids adore @tractorteduk so I knew this would be a hit, and they spent ages playing!💚

What’s your go to ice cream flavour? This time I went for Raspberry Ripple and White Chocolate M&M’s and it was 10/10😋
🍉 JULY 🍉 wholesome family moments, sunshine, and 🍉 JULY 🍉

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

☀️ June ☀️ Spent the first half of the month melt ☀️ June ☀️

Spent the first half of the month melting on a beautiful beach on holiday, and the second half melting in my own house🫠 

Swipe to see how hot it was in Ella’s room, just in time for bedtime🙃

Isn’t the heatwave supposed to be coming back too? Send prayers (and fans)😂 How did you survive the  heat?!

1. Take off✈️
2. Couldn’t ask for anything more❤️
3.🐚🌺
4.❤️
5. I may have piled my flatbread a little too high😅
6. Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🎢
7. There’s always time for a farm trip🐴
8. Our first cinema trip🎬
9. We’re big Toy Story fans in this house🤠
10. It’s been Caesar salad weather🥵
11. And we were able to sneak in a date afternoon🥰
12. An ice cream run was a must🍦
13. Especially as Noah was very brave during his preschool jabs🥺
14. I do not miss doing bedtime at this temperature🥵
Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
