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...
So January took forever but I blinked and February was basically over! Although I’m pretty glad about that as March is my birthday month so it’s always one I look forward to! However, before I start thinking about that I thought I’d go through some things I enjoyed throughout the last month.
Beauty
I was recently sent a couple of product samples which were a lovely thing to receive in the post! The first being a Rituals Shower Oil which has a really calming scent and I'm looking forward to using it. Also, I was gifted two small perfume samples - the Black Opium Intense from Yves Saint Laurent and the Yes I Am from Cacharel. I always like to try out new fragrances and am really pleased to have been given these samples!
Weather
We’ve had some pretty interesting weather recently, firstly with the snow that we had at the start of the month. I really love the cold weather and was looking forward to taking some snowy photos with my camera so was definitely pleased when I got that opportunity! Towards the end of the month, the sun really showed itself and we had some pretty nice days. The sunny weather always cheers people up so I can’t help but like it, though it is a bit of a worry to have such warm weather in February.
Fashion
I didn’t really buy anything new over the last month besides some joggers from Primark and I had to talk about them because I have been living in them recently. There’s nothing better than putting on something comfy after a long day and I’d heard great things about the Primark joggers and at £5 I had to pick some up. I have also been wearing some chunkier style brown boots, they were ideal during the colder weather and I also think they can make a pretty interesting outfit when it is warmer out too. They were actually my Mum's but she didn't get on with them and I couldn't let them go to waste! (Both the boots and joggers are pictured above in my snow images)
TV
I finally got around to watching Gilmore Girls recently and I’m so annoyed I hadn’t watched it earlier, I binged the whole series and the additional 4 part special in a month! It also really made me want to live in a place like Stars Hollow, I loved the vibe and you’d definitely meet some interesting people! You can’t beat a great show with interesting characters that you can really get invested in and I thought it was a must watch!
Drink
With the weather improving recently I’ve started making iced coffees as they’re one of my favourite drinks and why spend the money buying it out and about when you can make one at home! It’s super quick and is a great pick me up in the morning, I feel like I need to experiment with flavours now though!
Film
I actually went to the cinema recently to watch the new How To Train Your Dragon film, it’s one of my youngest sisters favourites and to be honest I’ve always thought they were pretty decent films anyway! Another recent watch for me was A Simple Favor, which I’d seen the trailer of and unfortunately never got the chance to see at the cinema. It was full of twists and I love both Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick so I’d definitely recommend seeing it if you haven’t yet!
I hope that February was a good month for you, once again I'm very interested to hear what sort of things you've discovered and been loving recently!
