A perfume, book, hand cream, make up remover and a dry shampoo... here are some things I have been loving this spring...
Daisy Dream Forever, Marc Jacobs
A perfume that is a nice balance between being fruity, sweet and floral is perfect for me. That's exactly what I get with Daisy Dream Forever by Marc Jacobs. This is currently my everyday perfume and I love it.
The top notes are fruity which include blackberry, grapefruit and pear. The middle notes include jasmine, blue wisteria and lychee which brings out the floral aspect of it. I'm instantly drawn to anything that has lychee in it! Lastly, you've got the base notes which consist of white woods, musks and coconut water. Put everything together equals a lovely bottle of fresh heavenly sweetness! In terms of packaging, the gorgeous blue bottle with the small daisy details completes the theme of dreamy blue skies. It's just perfect for spring!
Batiste, Fresh
What would I do without dry shampoo? It's literally a life saver especially on day three hair! Batiste is my favourite dry shampoo brand and 'Fresh' is my favourite scent. I've tried some of the other scents such as 'blush' and 'eden' but for me this is by far the best one! It doesn't feel heavy and it makes my hair look and smell fresh, like I've literally just washed it. It also gives my hair some texture and volume too. All I do is spray it onto my roots, massage it in and that's it!
Simple Micellar Water
I have really sensitive skin and this micellar water has been doing a great job in leaving my skin feeling squeaky clean from any make up. I simply just dab some onto a cotton pad and wipe away. It doesn't require any rubbing as it dissolves the make up so you can gently wipe it off. It leaves my face feeling soft and fresh. I also bought the cleansing wipes version the other day which I hope will work just as good.
Soap and Glory Hand Food
I do love a good hand cream that smells delicious and works well. This one by Soap and Glory doesn't disappoint as it smells divine! It has a nice and sugary scent to it. It's not greasy yet light and moisturising and does a great job in keeping my hands nice and soft. What more can I ask for!
The Girl on the Train, Paula Hawkins
When it comes to books, I do love a good old romantic story but I thought I'd step out of my comfort zone and go for a thriller instead. I need to start by saying that this book has been added to my all-time favourites list. That's how much I enjoyed it.
I'm not going to reveal the plot here because I don't want to ruin it for anyone who may want to read it but you guessed right; it is about a girl on the train and not about a girl on the bus. Rachel is used to seeing the same things and the same people on the same train everyday. However, things take a drastic turn when she sees something that will change everything. The book is written from three different perspectives which I found made the story even more interesting and addictive. It was definitely a page turner for me.
Some of you may have experienced those nights when you know you should be asleep but you keep saying to yourself 'just one more chapter', and then the next thing you know it's the AM and you can hear the birds tweeting outside! That was me.
The film is coming out this autumn and I'm super excited! I really hope it'll be just as good as the book... but we'll see!
I have one more favourite!
Music: Sales
I always find it quite refreshing when I discover a band with a different style of music. I recently discovered a band called Sales and have really enjoyed listening to their songs when I want to relax. Their guitar based songs give a really nice, calm and chilled vibe which you can leave playing in the background and get on with whatever you're doing. One of my favourite songs by them is called 'Big Sis'. If you're looking for a chill band, check them out!
