Hi everyone! How is your day going? After your lovely comments on my blog update! + need your help I decided I would go ahead and write this, my first ever monthly favourites post! There were quite a few things that I will remember June for and I can’t wait to share them with you so let’s get straight to it! ππ (Can you tell how excited I am!? π).
My new duvet cover! π..πͺπ΄
I am madly in love with my new duvet cover! It has helped me get back into sleeping and decreased those random thoughts π (thinking is easier than sleeping πͺΓπ‘20). I bought it in Penney’s and it was the only one I could find that was not too colourful so suited my claret red headboard (sounds like a strange combination but it goes incredibly well π). It has dream catchers with multicolored feathers all over it and a tie dye design on the back so it feels like two covers in one! It was β¬16 (for a double) and feels like the ultimate summer cover.
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J Mass π
I got this book as a treat for passing my driver’s theory at the end of May and started it last month. I’m taking my time reading it half through choice and half not. I look forward to it at the end of my day when I’m snuggled under my new duvet cover π but most of the time I don’t get to read it as I have to go straight to sleep when I’m unwell, but I am really enjoying what I have read so far and truly feel like I escape into a new world and live through the character when I get into it!
Johnson’s face care moisturising wipes
Early on last month I ran out of my Freederm facial moisturiser that I mentioned I use every morning in my products i use for clear skin post and my mum got me these wipes as she and my sister have been using them to remove their make-up. Even though I don’t wear make-up (I can’t be the only 18 year old who doesn’t ππ) I find these wipes to be incredibly beneficial for my dry/sensitive skin and they leave my face glowing. They were β¬2 for 25 wipes and I am still working my way through my first pack (I have a new pack ready to take with me to England next month!).
David and Goliath t-shirt from TKmaxx
As soon as I saw this t-shirt in TKmaxx I knew I wanted to buy it! π I love wearing shirts that have something written on them as they make me happy! and it was only β¬9, that made me happy too π
Arcade!!
I told you about my trip to the arcade at the end of last month on my health update & a summer goal and a half post and I cannot leave it out of my favourites! π It felt like I was on holiday π well summer is a holiday but it felt like overseas as going there was new territory for me π. I was supposed to go again today but it’s that time of the month π…π…π, This time next month I will be getting ready to go on holiday so hopefully I don’t start on the boat!! π¬ That would be hell π°π….anywho! I veered away from the arcade a bit didn’t I? π We are going to try go again at the end of this week!
Hair clasp from Claire’s accessories
This hair clasp is so pretty! π I got it for β¬5 in Claire’s and I’m not entirely proud of that price but it’s so shiny (I must sound like one of those birds that hoards shiny objects for the sake of it π). I have been trying to learn how to braid my hair (I got a book called “braid it” and it has so many amazing styles) and thought the clasp would in some way add to the look π …yeah I just bought it because it’s shiny π.
Grey supersoft throw from Penney’s
I got this throw to use as a backdrop for blog photos! (Like some of the above). It was only β¬5 (that makes the hair clasp look even worse in price considering this is more worth it π¬π) and it’s so big! It’s that material that is easy to hate where you swipe one way and it resembles nails on a chalkboard…..π
Wooden heart fairy lights
These fairy lights were a gift from my sister for my 16th birthday (she designed a whole corner of my room and these were put around a mirror she got me alongside a writing desk and trinkets! That was a special birthday…I cried when she showed me it all π). They are so beautiful and add a magical touch to blog photos.

I found this shop called Michaelβs after our move and I was thrilled by the variety so I bought two straight away. Only I ended up breaking up one
But at least I am left with the other! The benefit of buying things in twos π

Good thinking! π I wonder what brought them into style, they are so different from the wirey Christmas lights and so quirky/cute. I would love to find a shop that would sell unique ones that aren’t on highstreet but still cheap ππ

Yeah absolutely they are so pretty. I got these vintage edison bulbs and street lamp-style ones. They were easy to fall in love with! I am sure if you look around you might spot a lot. B&Q might have a ton?
