August Favourites 2021

This post contains affiliate links.

Well, this is late isn’t it? Truth is, I’ve had it sitting in my drafts for what feels like forever and I really wanted to get it published. Never mind the fact that it’s nearly time for Septembers post. Can you believe it’s nearly October?! I can’t believe how fast this year is going.

These are my August Favourites 2021.

ColourPop | Single Shadow Palette

This is probably one of my favourite palettes in my collection. A large part of that may be because I chose all of the shades, but the quality backs it up. ColourPop’s formula is incredible, and for the price you really can’t complain. I made this palette with the BYOP deal, which seems to be a permanent thing now. I’d highly recommend it, and if you’re interested about the shades in my palette;I have a full post which includes swatches.

Revlon | Colorstay Foundation for Normal to Dry Skin

From the first time I tried this foundation; I knew that I loved it. It lasted all day and didn’t accentuate any dry patches. It has a full to medium coverage, which covered my redness without a problem. I really wish I purchased this sooner because it’s up there with my all time favourites, but a much more affordable option.

Anastasia Beverly Hills | Amrezy Highlighter

It still breaks my heart a little when I remember this highlighter was Limited Edition. Which means it sadly isn’t available anymore, but hopefully they bring it back. This highlight is a champagne gold with a metallic finish. It’s very pigmented so it’s very easy to get a blinding finish, but applying a small amount leaves the most beautiful glow. I’ve been reaching for this a lot this month, and it never disappoints.

Urban Decay | All Nighter Setting Spray

I don’t seem to talk about this a lot in favourites posts, but it’s been a long time favourite. When I was in Llandudno I thought I left this at home and I was GUTTED. The relief I felt when I found it, made me realise how much I love it. This thing really helps to set my makeup into place, and it does no move. I don’t think I can ever not have this in my collection.

Llandudno

After not being able to travel for what feels like forever, it was so nice to be able to get away for a few days. The days consisted of good food, drinks and exploring. It was a much needed break and its made me crave another holiday, so here’s hoping now I’ve had both vaccinations it makes travelling easier.

There we have it, those are my August Favourites 2021.

What were you loving in August?

Thank you for reading.

    The Colourpop single shadows are one of my favorite products out there as well. Just like the Amrezy highlighter which I basically don’t want to use because I don’t want to ever run out of it haha. Also love love love the All Nighter setting spray, it’s just the best!

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 🦖😂

Proof that they can actually play nicely together😂

My idea of a very good night😂

Noah graduated nursery🥺

@costacoffee dates❤️

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🤣🤣🤣

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🥵
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?🍽️

🩵 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? 👇🏼
