I’m loving that spring is in full
swing and my monthly favourites definitely reflects that. I’m already on
holiday countdown – just under four weeks away – which means summer is on its
way, even if it doesn’t feel like that yet!
Spring/Summer scented Yankee Candles are my go-to in the
evenings and I’m constantly burning candles – whether they are Yankee votives,
or my larger Prosecco jars. There’s nothing more relaxing than lighting a
candle and blogging or reading in bed. My current favourites are Peony
(such a delicate floral fragrance), Sicilian Lemon (which makes me
excited to go to Italy) and Cassis (vibrant in colour and smell,
it’s lush).
I’ve got two favourite items of
clothing that I cannot stop wearing – obviously not together, though! The chiffon blouse with floaty shoulders is
from Silk Fred and I actually first
saw it on a Facebook advert. As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to have it – the
material looked so light and I loved the colourful teardrop print. I’ve been
dressing it down with jeans quite a lot, but also have some blue cigarette
trousers which I can wear for work... I just need to get a pair of shoes to
complete the outfit. I also love the white floral
print trousers, which I think are from Pink
Boutique (last year). They are so comfortable to wear and are perfect for
day-to-night. I wore these most recently for Poppy’s birthday celebrations but
I’ll definitely be wearing them to work once the weather gets better, with
sandals.
As you can see by the empty bottle,
I’ve been using the Maddi Alexander Frivolous bath oil a lot – my mum
gave me this sample size, but I’ll definitely be purchasing the full-size
product. I find it perfect for a long, relaxing soak and only a few drops are
needed. It soaks well into the skin, keeping it moisturised, rather than
greasy. The scent is a lovely combination of citrus fruits and bergamot oils –
which are massively invigorating, while also soothing the body and mind, so perfect
for de-stressing.
Still on the subject of
de-stressing, I’ve got a bit of an obsession with adult colouring at the moment and try and complete three hours a
week to help me unwind in the evenings. I alternate the nights that I blog or
use my computer and then go technology-free, so colour or read! It’s great for
whiling away the time in the evening. There must also be some kind of
correlation between how you are feeling and the colours you use/patterns you
choose the colour. This book has over120 pages and will last me absolutely ages!
What were your April favourites?
Love, Lucy xx
