Monthly Favourites - July 2017

So this is a little late. I've had my monthly favourites list written on my white board forever. I'm also extremely passionate about a few of these products. July was all about working. I didn't do all that much other than work. That comes with its own set of problems which are solved by a couple of these products!

1. Vida Plus Bathing Suit from AdoreMe

 First of all, if you have boobs and you have not been measured, get them measured. It will change your life. Once I got measured, I started shopping at AdoreMe. It's a great online bra/lingerie/pj/bathing suit company. I always find the most amazing deals. I'm a VIP, so they send me a showroom every month. This showed up on it. This bathing suit is adorable. I have never been more excited to receive something in the mail. The shape is really flattering on me (sorry I didn't get any pictures of it on me). The straps at the back are cute, and it really is my favourite thing this month.

2. Overnight Oats


I made so many overnight oats in July. They are all going to make another appearance on a Pinterest Challenge post. I really love overnight oats as a grab and go breakfast. I've probably even said that before. I wish I had thought of this earlier in the year when I had a 6am shift. It would have been very helpful. I don't know what else there is to say about it. Highly suggest looking into this if you're busy but also don't like to wake up early to make a good breakfast.

3. Revlon Mega Multiplier Mascara


I received this product for free from Influenster. I don't get to wear makeup very often in the summer because I work at a pool, and I don't do anything else. I got this mascara, used it a few times, and I actually loved it. I am looking for reasons to put mascara on. I'm the first to admit that I don't really know what I like in a mascara. I already have long eyelashes, so I need a product that shows that off. I love the way it makes my eyelashes look. The bottle is not circular like other bottles, and that might be the best part. You can hold it so easily! I'm a huge fan of this mascara.

4. Buddy Coffee Scrub


I was given this as a gift back in April. I opened it, hated the smell, and barely touched it since. Now, I work at a pool. My skin is permanently dry. I needed a fix, and I needed one badly. Enter this coffee scrub. I love it. The smell reminds me of compost (because my family puts coffee grounds in the compost), but it has been a wonder for my skin. It's harsh, so I wouldn't suggest this for sensitive skin. Follow it up with your favourite moisturizer, and you're golden!

5. Wonder Woman

Have you seen this movie? The correct answer is yes. I loved it. I went with my parents, and I loved it. The only bad thing about it was the woman who sat beside me and wouldn't shut up. The action was great, the woman power was great, and the acting was great. I love reading all the articles about how this film has encouraged young girls around the world to be powerful. The world needs more films like this. I can hardly wait for the next movie!

I guess this month is all summer-themed. I cannot wait for the rest of August. Some BIG changes are coming in two weeks, and that will certainly be on my next favourites list. Things are going to be amazing.

What are your July favourites?

 Is fall not the best reading season? I’m so glad I’ve had a few opportunities to sit on the front porch, wrapped in a fuzzy blanket with a hot drink and my book. Right now, it’s raining outside and all I want to do is cozy up and get back to my book. I’ve read some great non-fiction in the past six weeks. I’m learning so much about how people relate to the world around them. That is so important to me. Check them out! The Reason I Jump: The Inner Voice of a Thirteen-Year-Old Boy with Autism – Naoki Higashida – 4 Stars         This is a very short book that I think everyone should read – particularly those who work with children. Although knowledge has come a long way, there is still so much more to be learned about autism. This book is a series of question that Naoki Higashida answers from his point of view. Interspersed is also a handful of short stories from Higashida’s point of view.         It’s an incredible book. It’s something that really allows readers to understand ho
