This week I decided to share my favourite things in June. I've put the links to products for you to check everything out too. Enjoy :)
Clothing: I have spent some time online shopping recently, and have discovered some really great brands, who produce high-quality staples. I have also tried to support small businesses when looking for new pieces to buy
SORRYIMBUSY - Stress Less Crewneck
Museum of Peace & Quiet Natural Crewneck
LOST ATHLETES - Grey Track Pants
Skincare: I have super sensitive skin, so I always try to use products with no nasties and that give my skin extra moisture and shine.
REN Clean Skincare EverCalm Starter Kit
The Skincare Company Vitamin C Serum
Makeup: I don't wear a lot of makeup because I am always training, but on days when I feel like giving myself a bit of extra self-care, I use a sunscreen tinted moisturiser, some brow pencil and mascara!
bareMinerals Complexion Rescue Tinted Hydrating Gel Cream
Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz
Benefit Roller Lash Curling Mascara
Hair Care: I get my hair chemically straightened, so I use products that promote repair and moisture! I also am drawn to products that smell like coconuts :)
OGX Weightless Hydration Coconut Water Shampoo & Conditioner
Podcasts: I enjoy listening to podcasts from people I look up to or about topics I am interested in. I love wellness, popular culture, and hearing people's stories.
Friend of Friend - Olivia Perez
How Long Gone - Joe Holder Episode
Netflix: I don't spend too much time on Netflix, but some nights if I am ready for bed early, I like to watch something on my laptop in bed.
Lastly, last month (thanks to my sister) I learnt how to make cold brew at home. I am still new to coffee, but learning new ways to enjoy drinking it at home has been fun! All you need is a French Press ($20 at KMart), ground coffee beans ($5 from the shops) and water!
Place 8tbsp of ground coffee into French Press
Fill the rest up with water (leave about 3cm empty at the top)
Stir until well combined and then put the lid on, resting the plunger on top of the water
Leave to sit overnight on the kitchen bench
Plunge in the morning and transfer fresh cold brew into a glass jar and store in the fridge for up to 3 days.
I like to make my cold brew with lots of ice, 3/4 cold brew, 1/4 almond milk
Til next week, Belle
