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.

She is always upbeat and chatty in her videos. Each video is clearly well planned out but still relaxed.  I find her videos very engaging, even when I went through a rough patch and wasn’t even interested in reading, Jessie’s videos provided a temporary distraction for me from...

Shane Dawson's The Secret World of Jeffree Star Documentary Review

I felt so compelled to write about this documentary as it really touched me. Especially, the finale which I will discuss later on.  Over the last year, Shane Dawson content has improved dramatically, he is clearly working incredibly hard. He is also now is not afraid to be vulnerable with his emotions. Shane's emotional honesty in the documentry mirrors the emotions I, as a viewer was feeling. Before the watching the four-part documentary I did not know anything about Jeferee Star apart from his make up line. To be honest, I planned on having them playing in the background whilst I was home alone doing household chores. However, I was instantly hooked! I sat down and watch the first three back to back. I was transfixted. I just finished the last episode now and new I had to write about it. The first episode focused on getting to know Jeffree Star now. He lives in a huge house which is mostly pink (which I love!) with his partner Nate and five pet dogs. I found it interesting to...
