It has been a very long time since my last favourites post, 6 months to be exact... However, I thought I would combine the last few months all into one post as I haven't mentioned a lot of these things before on my blog. This favourites post won't actually have any makeup favourites because I am boring and use the same things everyday and I plan to talk about them in an 'everyday summer makeup routine' soon. Instead, it will consist of random stuff, fashion, tv shows, films, youtube and books.
I am currently in the process of changing my blog a little, the layout of my posts, some content and the general look of it. I have found a perfect premade template to use so hopefully this month you will see a few changes!

RANDOM:
Back in May I caved and bought myself some stickers off redbubble and honestly, I have been obsessed with them ever since I have even picked out some more for me to order when payday comes. In total, I only picked out 11 and wish I picked more but I LOVE the ones I did pick.
If you do not understand them all then I will explain, they are all from tv shows apart from one which is from my favourite film, and well one is a tv show but also a movie (Marvel) - Gilmore Girls (3), Friends, Riverdale, Teen Wolf, How I Met Your Mother. Criminal Minds, The Vampire Diaries / The Originals, Peter Pan and Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D (Marvel films also).

FASHION:
I hardly ever share fashion favourites on my blog but ever since my birthday in March I have been wearing the same pair of shoes non-stop. It is actually getting a bit bad now because they are all I wear, but I have changed up a little bit now the heat wave has hit because they sadly do not match my outfits - if they did I would 100% be wearing them. So they are the 'Black and White Classic Checkerboard Vans' in a size 5 - sadly my feet have not grown in the past 8 years...

Due to my exam's the number of tv shows I watched changed a lot, however, I did still watch lots because that is who I am and what I enjoy. I became obsessed with American Crime Story: The People vs O.J Simpson, The Big Bang Theory season 11 and Timeless season 2.
Once my exams were over I managed to watch a lot more tv shows, which consisted of Manhunt: Unambomber, Criminal Minds Season 13, NCIS: New Orleans Season 4 and 13 Reasons Why Season 2. I am currently watching NCIS: Los Angeles from season 8 before I start binge-watching all of Orange is the New Black before the 27th July - that happens to be the day before I go on holiday so I will be able to download it for the plane and journey from the airport because it is long.
I managed to go to the cinema a lot over the past months as it was a good break from revision and a chance to hang out with a friend for a while, especially with a 2-4-1 ticket on a Tuesday or a Wednesday. Since my last post in January, I have seen Maze Runner: Death Cure, Black Panther, Love Simon, Infinity War pt1 (of course!) and Han Solo. I also watched several Netflix original movies, which included F*** The Prom, The Kissing Booth, Dude and Set it Up which were all brilliant and made me laugh a lot!
YOUTUBE:
I have been watching a lot more youtube in recent months, mainly because I watch it in the morning whilst I am getting ready for sixth form and eating breakfast. This is mainly because I like to watch other people's lives to kind of help me feel motivated for the day, whereas if I was watching a tv show I would know it wasn't real.
The first is the wonderful Grace Fit UK who does a range of videos, and I think the reason I love her is that she is at University but still manages to work out every day, run her business and upload on youtube. She is very inspiring and her videos are so interesting, I especially love watching her 'what I eat in a day' or her 'university day in the life'.
My other favourite is completely different. As you know I am obsessed with true crime and everything to do with that, and one day I decided to watch some 'true crime' videos on youtube and found Caitlin Rose and her 'Mystery / True Crime' series on her youtube channel. Catilin is also a University student who does these videos once a week as well as doing fashion and lifestyle videos. These types of videos are honestly just so fascinating to me, I once spent a day watching these in between revising - it was brilliant.

BOOKS:
I mentioned in my last post I finished my book back in May and hadn't picked up another since, well that has now changed. I had been browsing lots online and came across 'one of us is lying' and just added it to my books wishlist on Amazon thinking I would buy it for my holiday. However, I found it in Tesco, re-read the blurb and knew I had to buy it!
I started reading it on the 27th June and I sadly haven't read it a week because I have been busy (cleaning and watching tv shows) but I know I won't finish it before the 28th July so it will be coming to Spain with me. I have also started using 'good reads' which I saw Kayla (from kaylablogs) use and thought I would give it a go to track my books and my goal to read 5 books this year. Check it out what I am currently reading below:
