August 2018 Favourites

Welcome to my first monthly favourites! I can't believe it is almost September! Here are my favourites for August divided up into Food, Beauty and Health, and finally Entertainment.   Food Tesco Mixed Berry Helter Skelter and Rowntrees Fruit Pastel Ice Lollies In the recent boiling weather, I became addicted to ice lollies! It's embarrassing really how many I got through, but girls got to do what a girls got to do! My favourites are the Tesco Mixed Berry Helter Skelter with a sweet blackcurrant flavour and at only £1 for a box is a bargain. I also enjoyed eating the Rowntrees Fruit Pastel ice lollies on the layer at a time. I love the zingy flavours especially the citrus flavour. It also brings back happy memories of visiting my grandma and grandpa as a child and spending time in their garden as we always had one as a treat.  Water Infuser Twinning Water In’fuse Pink Lemonade (my review:  https://bit.ly/2wrTgkD ) and recently I have been ...

August 2018 YouTuber of the Month – Jessie B.

Image taken from  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F5G7daJfB1k Welcome to my first addition of YouTuber of the month (Woop Woop!). I want to share which YouTuber I have enjoyed watching each month.

She is always upbeat and chatty in her videos.

Favourite Teas August 2018

What is nicer than sitting down after a long day with a cup of tea and a sweet treat? (perhaps a Booja-Booja truffle! see review here: https://bit.ly/2vw8BBg ). Here are my top five favourite teas at the moment. Irish Breakfast- Barry's Tea I buy this Irish tea from the world foods section of my supermarket. For years I didn't drink breakfast tea as to me it tasted like dishwater. How very un-British of me! That was until earlier this year when I tried Barry's Tea. Barry's tea tastes stronger than other breakfast teas I have tried and it has a sweet yet earthy taste. The perfect drink for a quiet evening in. Bedtime Infusion- Sainsbury's  I brought this tea when I had trouble sleeping with my anxiety. The tea itself tastes like sweet camomile and smells like lavender. The whole experience of drinking this tea very calming and is the perfect way to wind down after a busy day or went I feel on edge. Pure Peppermint- Twinings Peppermint tea is...
