May Favourites 2020

It’s finally time for another monthly favourites, and unlike last month I actually have some makeup favourites. I never actually wore any last month, but I’ve experimented a little with makeup this month, so I have a few inclusions. May has been another month of socially distancing and barely leaving the house, so this is pretty much everything that I’ve enjoyed whilst staying home.

Let’s get into my May Favourites 2020!

MAC | Beaming Blush Highlighter

This highlighter is a rediscovery for me, as I found it whilst clearing out my draws during last months declutter. Beaming blush has a warm pink base with added pink and gold shimmer. It’s a lovely colour that is unlike anything else I have in my collection. I always apply this with a brush and it takes 2-3 layers to get a finish I’m happy with. It’s not a blinding highlight, but it is shimmery with a few sparkles added in for good measure.

Morphe | Continuous Setting Mist

I have been loving this setting spray this month. The mist application makes it unlike anything I’ve tried before. Even though it is easy to go overboard with the mist, it’s very fine and doesn’t take long to dry. It has more of a natural finish, but it never leaves me looking dry which is what can happens with matte formulas.

Animal Crossing

I know I included this in my March Favourites, but I have spent a lot of time on it again in May. I finally achieved a three star island in May, so I’ve spent a lot of time terraforming and switching things around. I’ve still got a lot to do to get it how I want it, but I’m not time travelling as I’m enjoying doing a little bit day by day.

Working Out

In May I decided to have a little bit of a lifestyle change, and with that has come an increased amount of exercise. To my surprise, I’ve really enjoyed it. I’ve been going out for a walk everyday and exercising in the evenings. I’ve been using the app Streaks: Workout, and I’ve just bought a resistance band to try and incorporate.

Just Dance

I’ve always enjoyed playing Just Dance on my Nintendo Switch and I’ve been on it a lot more this month. It’s probably my favourite way to workout, as it never feels like exercise. It’s fun and a great way to get moving. I’ve just bought the 2020 version too, as it was half price on the eShop.

Cooking and Baking

I know, I know… another repeat. This month I’ve experimented with new recipes and I’ve been very happy with the results. I tend to document everything over on my Instagram stories; which mainly happens to be the end result. I’ve made Creamy Garlic Chicken from the Pinch of Nom book, Sticky Chicken Noodles and White Chocolate and Raspberry Cookies to name a few examples.There we have it. Those are my May Favourites 2020. A few repeats, but I’d rather that than lie.

What have you been loving throughout May?

Thank you for reading!

    Lovely post, Hannah! I love the sound of the JustDance game, as I agree about making exercise fun. I’ve been gardening as there are so many benefits. Baking can be therapeutic, all your bakes look amazing too. 🙂 xx

The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm ani The recipe for the perfect family Sunday: Farm animals, Tractor Ted and ice cream 🚜🍦

If you’re local to Cheshire (or willing to travel for a really good scoop) you need to add @bidleadairy to your list📍

Not only is there ice cream, they have: cows, ponies, and a donkey to say hello to🐮

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 🍉

wholesome family moments, sunshine, and way too much good food ☀️🍝

From surviving the first heatwave with water play in the garden to a lovely little trip to the farm, it’s been the best kind of month🤍

Make sure you scroll all the way to the end to see Jake getting eaten by a dinosaur 🦖😂

When in doubt visit the farm🐮

Still dreaming of this @thebroughton_balterley 😍

All ready for the Ed Sheeran and Taylor Swift tribute at @trenthamestate 🎤

We had such an amazing time, would definitely recommend seeing what other events they have on or booking next year🎼

Creamy pasta has my heart, but Jakes lasagna was insane! @raffaelesandbach 😋

Another @trenthamestate day out🚜

Ok so Ella actually hated this dinosaur😅 @hoozooanddinosaurworld 

So glad I managed to capture this🤣🤣🤣

From the iconic @soldejaneiro 62, which always reminds me of holiday to my much loved @charlottetilbury palette 😍

Saying that the @maybelline foundation is new to me and I have been really enjoying it! It has SPF 20 and is great for dry skin✨

What always makes it into your holiday makeup bag?🩵🌺

Also I know the lighting isn’t the best, but we’re going with it😂

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

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🥵

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?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

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? 👇🏼
