Hello you beauties!

Summer is definitely here and with college now over until September, I am planning on reading a LOT of books. Do you enjoy reading too? Do you want recommendations on what to read? Then here is my book recommendations to you for this summer.

1) The Harry Potter series by J K Rowling
Who doesn't love Harry Potter!? Let J K Rowling take you to another world this summer with young Harry Potter and his friends as they battle evil and create friendships with all sorts of people. However, don't expect to be able to read the whole series this summer. Maybe just 2 or 3 books.

2) Am I Normal Yet by Holly Bourne
This is one of those books that talks about the harder topics (anxiety, OCD, therapy etc) but it really is a book that I have been loving recently. I have really found sympathy for the main character Evie, and I have been hooked the whole way through.

3) Suite Francaise by Irène Némirovsky
Everyone has heard of this book, turned into a film. And honestly, it was one of the best books I have ever read. It has a beautiful story to it (don't worry, I won't ruin anything!) and has amazingly developed characters. Whilst it was not one of the easiest books I have ever read, I will definitely admit that it was worth the read.

4) The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
I am sure that everyone has heard of Fitzgerald and the character of Gatsby. I studied it a few times for my English Literature A Level, and I know a lot of people who hated this book after studying it, but honestly it is one of my favourite books ever. It's not too long either so it is perfect for the summer.

5) Girl Online by Zoella (Zoe Sugg)
I have seen people with mixed opinions about this book. I personally love this, and think that Zoe has done a brilliant job with writing it. I love the storyline (again, I'll not provide any spoilers!) and the characters are very developed and strong. I loved it so much that I bought the second one and loved that too! So make sure you read this book this summer!

So that was a very short recommendation list for you all! I could definitely recommend more books than this but if I did, we'd be here all day and I know you don't have time for that!

I hope that you all enjoyed this post and I'll be back on Saturday with another post for you all!

Hello you beauties!

I can't believe it's August already! Another month closer to my birthday (I'm sure I'll talk about my birthday a lot between now and September), I really am excited now. Also another month off college is something to look forward to, I feel less stressed out already and summer has only just begun!

As it is the first day of August, here is my July favourites!

1. Benefit Hoola bronzer
I hardly ever wear bronzer as I always struggle to find the right shade for me, and a lot of them always turn out very orange-y on my skin (especially the Makeup Revolution one that I own) but this bronzer is definitely one that I can work with. It's very light and sits nicely on my skin. I would definitely recommend this bronzer.

2. GOSH Prime & Refresh eye primer
I used to love my Korres eye primer but during this past month I really have loved this other eye primer too. It's very easy to use/apply on the lid, and keeps my eyeshadow looking perfect for as long as possible.

3. Yankee Candles
Who doesn't love candles!? I loved candles all throughout winter, especially cinnamon and apple scents, but Yankee candle store recently had some lovely summery scents in stock. They're great to use to make those dull rainy days that bit brighter.

4. No7 Exceptional Definition Mascara
This mascara is definitely my holy grail makeup product since I discovered it in my Look Incredible beauty box in June. Since then, I have already bought another one - I love it that much!

5. Gossip Girl
I have always loved this show, but I am loving it even more recently. As I've had more time to spare as I haven't had college, I've spent most of my time sitting on my sofa watching this show on Netflix. Definitely check this show out if you have time to!

6. Harry Potter
I have been a fan of Harry Potter for a very very long time but just recently I have become very very obsessed. In June, I went to The Making of Harry Potter and I am going back again in a few weeks time. Recently the Harry Potter series has made me very happy which is why it is in my monthly favourites.

So that's last month's favourites for you all! I'll be back on Wednesday with a new post for you all!
