Festival Makeup Ready





Festival season has already begun, and there still some great festivals coming up with some fantastic line ups... I love music so festivals have always been something that excites me!
Whether you are camping it up, or just coming down for the day (and staying in a nice, warm hotel...) a natural makeup look is perfect for a festival. We all know Natural Collection; available online or in-store at Boots, is affordable and good quality, and is perfect for a natural and pretty beauty look. With all their products costing only £1.99, it is ideal for any budget.
 A pretty nail colour like this one from Natural Collection; which is the Nail Colour in Hibiscus is a perfect bright pink would look great for a festival I think, nice and bright and colourful!
You want to keep makeup nice and simple if you are camping out I imagine, so a cover up stick would be ideal for me to just hide those naughty blemishes and a waterproof mascara (cause we all know Britain is known for its rain...) so it will stay in place all day! Lastly, a pretty tinted lip balm like this one in Caribbean Crush is perfect to add a pop of colour while still keeping your lips soft and hydrated is ideal to pop in your rucksack.

What is your go - to festival makeup look?

June Degustabox Review: BBQ Box




Every Month a delivery is sent to me by the lovely folk at Degustabox to feature on my blog. I always look forward to this subscription box the most as it includes one of my favourite things - food! You can use my discount code BLDEG15 to receive an incredible £7 off your next order with Degustabox.
This Months box has been such a great theme too, as we recently purchased a new barbeque so lots of these foodie items have really come in handy.

The Zeo Cloudy Lemon drink is something I have tried before and loved, so I was super pleased to see it again as it is very refreshing and perfect to sip when you are chilling out in the garden. The Branston Spicy Tomato Relish tastes AMAZING on a burger and is something I am definitely adding to the shopping list. Other fab items include the Haywards Silverskins which have been fab added to salads, the Schwartz Handmade Burger Mix which is so easy to make and really flavour-some too. Probably my favourte item of the box is the Bakedin miracle mug brownie which is absolutely delicious. Other tasty treats in this Months box included Heinz Amoy Coconut Milk, Sacla Pesto Pots (these are super handy!), Miracle Noodles, Smooze Fruit Ices, Destrooper-Oliver Belgian Butters (they are delicious with a cuppa!) and Butterkist Yoghurt Coated Popcorn; which I have to say, is probably the nicest popcorn I have ever tried! The alcoholic option of this Months box was a can of Marstons lager - I haven't tried this but I am sure the man of the house will soon. I am super impressed with this box. What do you think?

Summer Moments - Memories Jar with Robert Bakery





When Roberts Bakery got in touch asking if I would like start collecting memories in a memory jar, I was really interested in documenting this on my blog. I've always wanted to start a memory jar. I have started collecting a few memories for my memory jar and thought it would be fun to share some with you here. I'm also planning on adding in some train tickets and photographs taken throughout the Summer. I am hoping to continue adding memories to the jar throughout the Year and hopefully update this post with lots more memories!

A few of of my soft and fluffy moments this Summer start with a few picnics we had in the park! I love a picnic as it is so inexpensive but is always fun. I try to take a picnic with me whenever I can for days out as it is so easy for a simple lunch. Roberts Bakery sent me a few fun sandwich recipes to try out, which I have enjoyed creating but forgot to photograph! I have actually blogged about their Strawberries and Cream sandwich before, which you can check out here.
As well as picnics, I also traveled to York one Weekend this Summer to visit family; where we spent the afternoon having afternoon tea of yummy sandwiches and cake, it was lovely to spend time as a family. Another soft and fluffy moment was when we traveled to the seaside for the day this Summer to relax and unwind. On another Weekend this Summer, we also went to a local beer and cider festival, which was fun to try out the local drinks and catch up with friends.
You can check out the Roberts Bakery news blog posts to check out some cool recipes and updates ideal for Summer, as well as The Roberts Bakery Facebook Page which has cool competitions running at the moment.

What special memories do you have from this Summer?
