Hallo everyone...
It is finally beginning to feel like summer here in rainy England (yay!), so I thought it was time for a summer-themed post. Most of the time I'm sleeping or sitting in a hot classroom melting into my seat, but when I'm not, I love a little pamper-time.
I always like to try new things in summer, and this year is no exception, so today I thought I would give you the things that are this year's top 5 life savers for me. They are in no particular order and are all things that I had not tried before this year sooo, um, yeah...
My number 1 most important thing that I am obsessed with this summer is Coconut oil. This stuff is AMAZING. It can be used for so much including shaving cream, to put on sun burn, and trying your hand at a few DIYs (I love the lip stick and lip scrub ones) I wouldn't suggest eating it - though you can - as it is pretty fattening and doesn't taste amazing, but other than that I would definitely recommend that you get some of this.
The second thing that I have been using a lot this year is tanning milk. This is so easy to use and perfect if you are like me and don't tan but burn. I am currently loving the Bondi Sands Gradual Tanning Milk (available from Superdrug). My only problem with these is that you have to make sure that they are completely dry before dressing and that you apply it every day - preferably after a shower - because they do go streaky really easily.
Number 3 on my list isn't really a product, but a scent - cucumber. I love the smell of cucumber and find it really fresh and clean-feeling for Summer. I recently bought the Dove Deodorant in this smell and have been wearing it every day. I also discovered cucumber and lime scented candles which I am dying to get my hands on, so if any of you have got any of these, let me know what you think.
This year I am also really into high-waisted bikinis. I never thought about buying one until this year when I saw a pretty green one in New Look. I have also seen nice ones on the Top Shop website, so you can go check them out over there too. I am especially favouring the ones with cut-out sides - I feel like it just makes the whole bikini more interesting - and it's even better if you can find one with a matching top!
The Final thing on my list is, of coarse, Sunglasses. I don't really have a particular favourite type (though I do like a geek-style pair with brightly coloured frames this year), but I do have a pair that I have had for around 6 years now. I know that some of you may be thinking 'why aren't the lenses scratched?' or something of that sort, but I do take good care of them as they are sooo comfortable and fit my face perfectly!
