As the days get colder and the rain more frequent, I've found myself looking back through photos from the summer. I was lucky to have a very busy few months after finishing my first year of university and had the best time so I thought I'd do a recap of everything I got up to. Festivals I'd never been to a festival before and this year I went to 3! The first was The Isle of Wight Festival which was just amazing and I definitely think it's a festival for everyone to enjoy. We were able to see some amazing artists including Lewis Capaldi, Tom Grennan, The Kooks, Rudimental, Madness, Shaggy and so many more. I did end up burning myself really badly on the first day, despite frequently applying suncream but that was a small price to pay and I've already planned to go again in 2023! I also went to Boomtown which is a different kind of experience music wise but was so good to spend time with my boyfriend - Ryan and our friends. Also, the sets were incredible, and the eff
Yes we are approaching the end of July but I'm taking it back a month and sharing things I enjoyed over June. I took a break from blogging for various reasons but I want to get back on track and hate the thought of missing out a monthly favourites post so here we are!
Creativity
As I've previously mentioned on here, I've been experimenting with typography and calligraphy since it is something I find so intriguing. I've spent a lot of time using my graphics tablet to practice but over June I wanted to try out some more freehand stuff. I do have some brush pens but I've mostly been using some felt tips that I got in Ikea a while back, trying to keep it as simple as possible! It can be really frustrating and there are so many other styles I want to try out but it can actually be pretty relaxing if you just spend some time trying things out!
TV
Now I know there are a lot of mixed opinions about this but yes I have been sucked into the Love Island bubble. I actually didn't watch any of the previous series until they came on to Netflix and then after binging them I couldn't resist giving the new series a go when it started back in June. A lot of it is ridiculous and I know there are various issues but everyone loves a bit of drama now and again don't they. It's a bit of fun that is strangely engaging so yes, I've been tuning in at 9 every night throughout June and July too!
Food
My go-to meal recently has been Pesto tortelloni with cheese and a few tomatoes, I'm not sure why but I can't get enough! I think that it's because it is a pretty light, quick and easy meal which is perfect for the sunny weather - you don't want to stand in a hot kitchen for ages, do you! I've been using the Tesco 'basil and pesto' tortelloni and have then actually mixed it in with some more pesto just for even more flavour. That may be too much of a pesto overload for some people but with some grated cheese and a few plum tomatoes, I'm obsessed! On a more unhealthy note, I also enjoyed eating my way through a Toblerone bar, it had actually been ages since I'd eaten any Toblerone chocolate so I very much enjoyed it!
YouTube
I always enjoy finding new content to watch on YouTube but recently I've gone back to some old favourites that I hadn't watched for a while. In particular are videos from Cimorelli - a band made up of 6 sisters who post covers, their own songs and a lot of other more chatty videos too. However I've especially been enjoying their podcast which you can watch here, the episodes are based around a certain track on their album 'Sad Girls Club' and I've really enjoyed it because it's so relatable and feels like you're just listening to some friends chat about life & it's ups and downs!
Fitness
Lifestyle
Something to mention has to be the amazing weather we have had and are continuing to have here in England. I don't think anyone can quite believe how much sun we've seen and I'm totally here for it. Spending time outside is something I always enjoy and earlier in June I played crazy golf with my family. Doing something fun and competitive is a great laugh and I always enjoy visiting the course at Sandbanks so if you're ever in the area you should definitely give it a go!
Sorry for such a delay with this post, hopefully, I'll be able to get back into a more regular routine now and I'll have to start thinking about my July favourites soon too! I hope everyone has been enjoying the weather!
Omg yes, I've totally been sucked into the Love Island bubble this year too! I've never watched it before but now I'm hooked!
