June Favourites

So, in preparation for starting my youtube channels, my blogposts are going to reflect what my 'structured' videos might be like.

So this week, I'm going to brush over my favourites from this month! It's a mixture of various aspects of my life, and I hope you enjoy!

Migraine Kool patches. 

These are my godsend and a daily essential. When my head is pounding and my forehead feels like it's burning up, these cooling gel strips are a brief instant relief. For anyone who suffers from migraines, regular headaches, or even IIH, I recommend them so much. Pick them up from boots, your local pharmacy, or order online!

Liquitex modelling paste.
As most of you know, I love art and painting, and this is a brilliant additive to any creative project. A wonderfully detailed texture paste, with endless uses - you can layer this on a canvas thickly, mix colour into it, and even paint over the top. I love how it looks.

Beauty - 

My single favourite makeup item from this month is the natural collection tinted moisturiser... It adds a small hint of colour and hydrates your face as well, brilliant for hot summer days when you're likely to sweat your face off! If an everyday makeup routine is something you'd like to see, let me know in the comments!

Books -
This months favourite was Dead Ends by Erin Lange.

Dane Washington and Billy D couldn't be more different. Dane is clever and popular, but he's also a violent rebel. Billy D has Down's Syndrome, plays by the rules and hangs out with teachers in his lunch break.

But Dane and Billy have more in common than they think - both their fathers are missing. Maybe they'll just have to suck up their differences and get on with helping each other find some answers.

This heartwarming book is about an unlikely friendship, and it deserves a five star review. The characters are so strongly portrayed, I loved Billy D. Incredibly high functioning, his Downs could easily have been written as as a huge challenge in his life, but I love that it wasn't. That he was still intelligent, but he was also different. It didn't make him less of a person, it was just him.

TV and film

The 100

Set in an apocalyptic future, a nuclear war has wiped out most of Earths population. The surviving remainder of humanity live on the Ark, a spaceship in orbit around what used to be Earth. Resources are scarce, so to control the population, any crime is punishable by death. Upon hearing the news that the Arks oxygen supplies are critically failing, 100 disposable teenage criminals awaiting trial are sent down to Earth in a last ditch attempt to save humanity.

If you haven't watched this yet, honestly, please check it out on 4OD. You wont regret it. 

The Longest Ride

Based on the Nicolas Sparks novel, Luke is a professional Bull Rider, and meets Sophia by chance. On their first date, they come across an older gentleman who has crashed his car and help rescue him. Sophia continuously visits the man she and Luke rescued, named Ira. He slowly tells her how he met his late wife, Ruth in 1940, and both couples stories interweave, connecting through generations, hardships, and love. 

Sophie and I were both in absolute tears watching this, it was incredible. I can't deny I am a sucker for Nicolas Sparks, no matter how cliched it is. 

And there we are! What have you been loving this month? Have I mentioned anything you absolutely love? I'd love to hear from you down below in the comments.
