I think my Monthly Favourites posts are my 'favourite' kind of post to write, because I've been stoked to write this all month!
MUSIC
Favourite album:
For me, March was all about ‘Sinners Never Sleep' from You
Me At Six. It’s been said that the band’s fourth album will be ready in 2014 so
it’s good that people are still raving about older material. I love how mature
this album sounds and it’s got some cracking songs on it. It’s nice to know
there are some softer tracks on the record as well as the more gritty numbers.
Fun fact: I was listening to ‘This Is
The First Thing' and ‘Little Bit Of Truth' when I decided to remake a blog from
scratch. Those two songs are some of my favourite on the album but of course I
love the ‘noisier’ songs when I’m feeling irritated! My favourite tracks are
the two I mentioned above, ‘Bite My Tongue' and ‘No One Does It Better' That
last one would feature on my ‘top favourite songs of all time’ list. COSMETICS
This month, my favourite product has been MAC’s ‘Coffee’ eye
pencil. I’ve been hunting for great brown kohl pencils for a while and I’ve
seen so many makeup artists and YouTube gurus using this that I decided to try
it for myself. My eyes are brown, and sometimes I need a softer, less bold eye
for everyday makeup, so this is the pencil that gets used for that. I’ve also
been using ‘The Falsies’ mascara by Maybelline every day as, again, this was
raved about for some time before I purchased it. I recently wrote a full blog
post on it which you can find in the little side bar under March.
FILM
Everyone has a childish side…right?! So one evening, because my friends and I found Nigel so funny, we decided to watch 'The Wild Thornberrys Movie'. I’m freely admitting that this is my favourite film for my March Favourites post. Nigel Thornberry is hilarious. Enough said!
READING
I’ve loved a couple of reads over the last month. I borrowed
‘Crocodile Tears' by Anthony Horowitz from a friend and, as usual with the Alex
Rider Series, I got hooked and couldn’t put it down. And, as part of my English
Literature course, I’m required to read ‘The Kite Runner' by Khaled Hosseini.
From what I’ve read so far it’s a very heart-wrenching read, but often those kinds of stories are the best!
APPS AND GAMESI downloaded an app a week ago called Sworkit Pro, a fitness app designed to show you statistics on how much exercise you have done in that day, week or month. It gives you a wide variety of exercises to choose from, ranging from cardio to yoga to back strength routines. I’ve so far avoided the back strength exercises and did develop some sore muscles the next day, but the app is brilliant for wanting to get a bikini body for summer!
I’ve also been addicted to an app called Hay Day. “Thank
you” to Zoe, from Zoella, for talking about this app in a video and for making
me addicted! I love it! You take ownership of a farm and gain enough points to
proceed to higher levels in which you gain more farm essentials and accessories
to become the ULTIMATE farmer. Sad? I think not! This the best game to play if
you want to make your evening less boring.
SHOPPING
I had a wonderful trip to Westfield Stratford last month.
Trips to Westfield always end up being the best shopping trips for me because I
can find just about EVERYTHING. I think it’s my favourite place to shop. They’ve
got a mahoosive Boots, an Apple store, Forever 21, Hollister, Gilly Hicks and
of course, a MAC store. LOVE LOVE LOVE. Although I can’t just walk into these
shops and buy everything at once, I have been picking up some lovely little
bits here and there. SHOPPING
Gilly Hicks and Hollister have just introduced their S/S13 lines. That’s right; the brightly coloured beach shorts are BACK! I bought a lovely off-the-shoulder top from Gilly Hicks for £20 and I’ve got my eye on the denim Hollister waistcoat that all the mannequins are wearing. The only disappointment is I don’t currently like the look of the new Hollister t-shirt design. Perhaps I’ll warm up to them, but there’s something about them right now that doesn’t appeal to me.
Alas, that is my March Favourites blog post over! You have
no idea how much I was looking forward to writing this!
What have you loved this last month?
