The List: What I've Loved This Month

OK, so we are already at the end of August

and the mere thought of the madness in the lead up

to Christmas makes me shudder just thinking about it

(even though I love Christmas).

As our senses are bombarded from

every angle, I thought it would be good to 

curate the things that made it into my life each 

month.

So here goes:

OK so I joined a gym this month (the first time in about

20 years!!!!) I am NOT a gym bunny. I hate getting up early

to exercise (as I am a night owl, so getting up with the sun 

always proves difficult). But the Mr wanted to join a gym

now that we live in the country, and I thought

maybe having a gym buddy would help. So the Mr convinced

 me to join with him.

 I said yes, but it came with a condition…….these little beauties.

Adidas ZX Flux

Here's the thing. When they arrived, they looked so gorgeous that

they have not even made it to the gym. Instead my old Nike's are

accompanying me to the gym at 6am and these beauties are

now part of my daily staples ;-)

So still on this gym "adventure", I decided I needed some other

things to motivate me (the membership was clearly not enough ;-)

So next up I decided I needed these if I was going to

get anywhere on the treadmill.

These gorgeous rose-gold headphones are by Frends

OK, moving away from the gym and to beauty,

this new brand - Lulu's Time Bomb 

collection made it to my bathroom.

Time Bomb Complexion Cocktail

I am not a fan of celebrity products, but this

product has been amazing. It's by the lovely Lulu

(and if you are from the UK you will know who she is).

I had read that she used her ex-Husbands team (John Frieda

from John Frieda hair products) to help her with the formulas

for these products. As John Frieda products usually do exactly

what they say on the tin, I decided to give this H2O Omega 

cocktail a go.

OMG!!!!My skin just drinks it up and it smells divine (like

a tropical cocktail).

You only need a tiny bit and I must say my skin is glowing after using 

this for about 3 weeks.

I LOVE it.

I bought this and some other products in the range from QVC

OK, so back to my new headphones,

I have consequently started to really get into Audio books.

I know I am late to the party AGAIN, but I love physical books

so I never expected to bother with audio books. But I thought I 

would give audible a try, and now my audio books are what are also

keeping me company on my morning treadmill sessions.

Two books I listened to this month were:

here

here

I can highly recommend both books. I have them in

the physical versions also. But sometimes it's really useful

to go over what you may have read the day before in audible form.

It certainly helps me retain some of  what I have read.

Finally, as my country cottage slowly comes

together, I have become obsessed with monogrammed

linens.

As I slowly work my way through each room deciding

how I can incorporate them, these were added to my 

shopping basket this month.

Maybe it defeats the object by getting the monograms

done in the same colour as the linen, but I preferred

it. I ordered mine from here

That's it Lovelies.

Wishing you a wonderful week
