Favourites: June 2015

I'm a bit late with this post, but better late than never :) Here are the things that I have enjoyed using throughout the month of June!

Hair: 

Pantene Smooth & Sleek Conditioner: 
I am so in love with this stuff!! I've tried the shampoo that goes with it, and I really really did not like it AT ALL, but the conditioner is on another level. I have extremely thick and dry hair and this actually managed to smooth it and make it softer than most other conditioners I've ever tried. It also smells incredible which is a huge bonus.

Skin: 

Olay Fresh Effects Clear Skin Acne Hater Deep Scrub:
This product has the full package; cute packaging, amazing smell and it actually WORKS. My face feels so soft and clean after using this and I've noticed that since I've been using this (once a day), my skin has been clearer than usual. Love love loveeee!!


 Makeup:

Maybelline "The Blushed Nudes" eyeshadow palette:
I've had my eye on this palette right from when it came out and I finally got to pick one up a couple weeks ago. I've probably been wearing these eyeshadows almost every time I put on makeup this month. The colours are so pretty and the pigmentation is very good for drugstore eyeshadows. I've really been into warmer, pink-y colours on the eyes recently so this palette was just what I needed. I love it!

Book:

Between by Jessica Warman: 
This book was so interesting and so different from anything I've ever read. I wont spoil too much but basically its about a girl who is found dead on her 18th birthday. The book is in her point of view as she reviews her life and tries to figure out what exactly happened to her. I'll be posting a full review of it on my book blog soon!


TV Show:

True Blood: 
Since I've had a lot more free time on my hands and I'm finally all caught up on the shows I already follow, I decided it was time for me to start a new show. This isn't a "new" series by any means, but I thought I'd include it here because I'm addicted. Yes, its a vampire series, but its definitely aimed to a more... mature audience. I'm almost finished the second season and I am soooo obsessed!!

What were your favourites last month? Let me know in the comments!
And a happy 4th of July to any American readers!

The BEST and EASIEST Waffle Recipe! (Blogmas Day 9)

When it starts to get chilly out, I find myself making waffles pretty often. In fact, our Sunday breakfast usually consists of waffles of some kind. And in my house, I'm the designated waffle chef. I have the best recipe for waffles that are truly delicious AND any lazy chefs dream; its all done in one bowl, with ingredients everyone has in their kitchen. Literally foolproof and delicious. Perfect for Christmas morning! Makes anywhere from 8-12 waffles, depending on the size of your waffle iron. Ingredients:  2 cups of All-Purpose flour 1 tablespoon of baking powder 2 tablespoons of granulated sugar 1/4 teaspoon of salt 2 eggs (beaten) 1 teaspoon of vanilla (but you can add another 1/2 teaspoon if you want a stronger vanilla taste!) 1-3/4 cups of milk 1/4 cup vegetable oil Directions:  1) In a big bowl, combine all the dry ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar and salt) 2) Create a well in the center of your dry ingredients and add your wet ingredients 3...

Review: Lush Cynthia Sylvia Stout Shampoo

Hello there! So I've been on the hunt for a shampoo to tame my wild hair for ages, so I picked up this during my recent Lush visit  in hopes that it would help with my thick, coarse, dry hair. According to Lush , this has: Stout to calm:  For all hair types but especially beneficial for fluffy, hard-to-manage hair. Friend to all scalps:  Yeast improves the health of the hair and scalp. For a polished finish:  Organic lemon juice is a gentle cleanser that adds masses of shine and gloss. After using this for a little while now, I can say that I'm pretty much still on the fence about it.  Pros:  Though my hair is still a little frizzy, its definitely a bit better than it used to be. My hair is also softer to the touch and shinier.  Cons: I've noticed my hair gets greasier a lot quicker since using this shampoo. I also feel as though it may be drying out my scalp, but it'll take a little more time to know for sure if its because of th...
