                                                                         Five Friday Favourites

                                           

 


Aloha and happy Friday to you! This Friday is a family day as I’m spending my first Friday at home in several months. This week was one of the nicest weeks I’ve had in a long time seeing and speaking to all of my loved ones has put me back into a much better frame of mind. I can’t believe it’s the first of August tomorrow! Summer has both dragged and flown at the same time. with only 30 days until one of my best friends Katie comes home from being down under for over a year, I am more than excited to see her. August also marks the month before my masters begins which is very exciting altogether! I’m hoping the month will be a good one. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Fave quote:


 

I adore this quote as I can see a lot of truth in it. I am sick to death of justifying myself to people with regards to my education and career. After months of crappy words of wisdom being bestowed upon me I have officially given up caring about what some people think of me. At the end of the day, the people you surround yourself with should support you and lift you higher, rather than bring you down by judging and questioning you in your life choices. You live your life for your own happiness and your own success.
 
Fave thing: Lozz’s Harry Potter night in.

Yes you read that right a Harry Potter night in! We are all lovers of Harry potter both the books and the films and we are not embarrassed one bit ha-ha. This was one of the best nights I have had in a long time! I was having a great day before hand so the girlie night in topped it all off! Laura delived handmade invites to our houses and decorated her house all things Harry Potter, it was great! We had a feast in our own version of a grand hall and spent the night watching Harry Potter, catching up and chilling out, it was perfect!

 


Fave eat; HB swirl.


I am not ice creams biggest fan but I cannot resist a HB swirl! While in town on Tuesday on a sestra date (Orphan black reference) myself Emma and Maria treated ourselves to one! I opted for a strawberry base with fresh strawberries, milk and white chocolate and it was so yummy. If you are in the Jervis centre head on over to it, you will not be disappointed!

Fave song: Meghan Trainor ft Charlie Puth; Marvin Gaye.

I adore this song I think Charlie Puth has the sweetest voice and paired with Meghan Trainor it gave him this new fun cheeky side. A seriously catching tune that I’m sure will blow up in no time!


Fave film; Fury.


I watched Fury over the weekend and loved it, I missed it in the cinema and completely forgot about it until Robbie mentioned it was really good and we should watch it so we did. It was everything I love in a film, based on world war two with a great storyline full of loyalty and friendship. It is definitely one to watch if you haven't seen it already.

                                                                    Five Friday Favourites.

 


 

Aloha and happy Friday to you! Hoping you all had a great week and continue to have a lovely weekend. I have had a very chill week as I was sick for the majority and still not 100% so I just had some chill quality time with the family. With this in mind the post is a little on the short side, hope you enjoy!

Fave quote:

 
 
 
 


Fave tan: Cocoa brown dark.


One thing I missed this week was being tanned. It makes everything so much better and makes me feel amazing. Cocoa Brown is such a great, affordable tan that I will always go back too. I accidently picked up the darker tan but I really couldn’t tell that much of a difference. The colour lasts over five days on me before going patchy and fades nicely. I have scrubbed off my tan and currently deciding if I will be retanning today! You can buy cocoa brown online or in pharmacies around the country. This tan is so good even the famous Kylie Jenner rocks it. If you’re looking for a good affordable no hassle tan, check out Cocoa Brown.

 
Fave body product: Nivea rich nourishing dry skin.


Since the weather has become warmer my skin is seriously craving moisture. Though palmers cocoa butter will always be my holy grail body cream I’m trying to save it, so I have stolen my sisters moisturiser and it has been working a treat! I used the Nivea in body moisturiser last summer and adored it. The everyday cream is extremely thick and needs to be moisturised into the skin as soon as you apply it, as it dries quickly. It leaves the skin smelling lovely and feeling extremely soft. Try it out!

 

Fave person: Amy Schumer

 
It's official I love her! All week I’ve been watching interviews and some of her stand up comedy, she’s never failed to make me laugh. I can’t wait for her film trainwreck to come out as it looks seriously funny!

Fave song: Kwabs perfect ruin.

A day hasn’t gone by in the past month where I haven’t listened to this song. The vocals and lyrics are stunning and a great listen for any time of the day, check it out!
 

Au revoir for now,

Lifestyle post.


Five Friday Favourites.

Aloha and happy Friday to you! This Friday I’m packing, pampering and sorting out a few bits and bobs. I’m slightly burnt after a glorious sunny week in Dublin, craving a tan I am now darker on the top of my body and the same everywhere else. However I will be tanned all over this evening after I fake tan with coco brown for the last two days of the Irish summer!


 

Fave quote.


I find a lot of truth in this quote, because who you are is a choice. I wasn’t really feeling this week until a turnaround yesterday. I was feeling down about an array of things and I was focusing on all the bad and ignoring the good things in my life. However, chats with the people closest have helped me get back on the brighter side! I decided to hop back on my “everything happens for a reason” way of life. I’m feeling good and thankful for my loved ones :)

Fave food: Wagamama's Cha Han.


I have been craving this dish for SO long, yesterday Robbie took me to wagamama’s and I was in my element. As he is not a lover of Japanese food I was very proud of him for trying a similar rice dish which had chicken instead of fish… one day I’ll have him loving sushi yesterday’s dinner was a step in the right direction haha.

 

Fave drink: Starbucks Coffee frappuccino.


Starbucks coffee fraps own my heart in the world of ice coffee they’re perfection on a sunny day or whenever I’m in the mood for a coffee. I am also now the holder of a frappuccino card… three more until my freebie!

I love coming home after a few days away from my house, theres nothing like getting into your own bed and having some quality me time. Plus being home means cuddles with my little monster #mothsbestfriend
