Monthly Favourites - May

Whilst having a look over my beloved Small and Blonde it stuck me that I haven't put together a monthly favourites post for a while now.. so I've decided to share of few of the things I've been loving the most throughout the month of May..

1. Peach Backpack - New Look [x] - 
I'm one of those people that will always over-cram their handbag & then complain that it's too heavy/wont shut properly.. So when I saw this adorable little back-pack in the sale on New Look's website I couldn't resist treating myself.. It's so useful for those days when you have lots to carry (i.e. when you're popping to the gym after work & really don't want to cram trainers into your handbag) yet it's also pretty cute. I love the shade & the simple metal detailing.

2. Birmingham Pride [x] - 
I wont go on too much about this one, as I wrote a whole post about Birmingham Pride - but this was one event that really stuck out to me this month. It was such a great experience & I loved showing my support the LGBT community.. (& of course.. I loved having my face painted!)

3. Make-Revolution Bronze Stick [x] - 
I've been eager to try product like this for a while now but the only version I could find came with a pretty high-end price tag.  Of course until I stumbled across this from Make-up Revolution. After trying this a few weeks ago it's quickly become a staple in my collection as I find it perfect for applying bronzer & it blends beautifully. 

4. Disney [x] - 
Okay, Okay.. I love Disney every month.. But I seem to be loving it just a teensy bit more than usual lately.. I've found myself singing away to classic Disney songs a fair amount & happily snuggled up on the sofa with a good old Pixar or Princess film.. Now if someone could just whisk me away to Disneyland (Paris or Florida... I'm not picky) it would be perfect! 

5. Belvita Yoghurt Crunch [x] - 

I know this may seem like a slightly strange product to feature, however I honestly love these breakfast biscuits.. to the extent that I get excited when 10:00am comes around at work & it's time for my breakfast snack. Admittedly I'm sure they're not the healthiest.. (come on.. fruit will always be a better option) but I find these to be a perfect way to keep me going until lunch.   

6. Barry M - Gelly Hi Shine Varnish [x] - 

Barry M are always a go-to brand for nail polishes for me as I love their effects & colour range.. but currently I am loving the hi shine range. I recently purchased the colour shown above & can't wait to purchase other shades. There's something about the shine that I personally find gorgeous.. plus so far the polish has lasted well on my nails before chipping - bonus!

7. Lost [x] -

I know, I know - Lost first came onto our TV screens years ago.. However I recently (whilst trying to find something to fill the Orange Is The New Black shaped hole in my heart) I stumbled across the series on Netflix. I have recently came to the end of the first series & although some people have said they didn't enjoy it all that much, I can safely say I'm hooked!

8. Liz Earl Toner [x] - 

This is another product I've mentioned previously in a post but I felt it really deserved it's own little mention in my favourites. I'll admit that some days after cleansing, I just can't be bothered with the extra step of toning after. However when I do use this product, I'm always so happy after. It always leaves my skin feeling smooth & clean, but without drying it out.. In my opinion this is a product that is definitely worth the extra pennies.
