My favorite blog posts and YouTube videos to watch are monthly favorites. I learn about so many new products and miscellaneous things that are so fun to try. My favorites to watch/read are Tanya Burr, and Zoella. Without further adieu, here are my July favorites.
Beauty
July was all about beauty for me. I tried some new products that I have been dying to share with you all. Starting off with the Ogx Coconut Water shampoo and conditioner. I have to admit, for the past few years I have been solely a Pantene girl, but the second I saw this I knew I had to try it. It is weightless and leaves your hair feeling fresh which is perfect for the summer heat. Next, I tried the Sunday Riley Good Genes Serum. I can’t even tell you how many people have told me to try this, and boy am I glad I did. It is very pricey, but so worth it. I’m hooked and now want to try all of the Sunday Riley products.
I have two Jo Malone products in here because I just love their brand so much. I’ve had the Sweet Almond and Macaroon candle for awhile but I just got around to lighting it again. The smell is very sweet but subtle. It’s a great one to have burning in the background. This month I purchased the Wood Sage and Sea Salt cologne. It’s a woody scent but still subtle enough that it doesn’t smell like a man. It lasts all day too which I love.
I’ve talked about the Origins Ginzeng eye cream before, but I finished it this month and just wanted to let y’all know that I will be purchasing another one. Last but not least is this Revlon matte lipstick in the color smoked peach. Now, to be completely honest I have know idea if Revlon even sells this anymore. I bought it freshman year of college. I rediscovered it this month and having been wearing it a lot.
Food
We have told y’all how much we are obsessed with popcorn in our post here. That is still no different, we have just jazzed it up a bit. We bought these Kernel Season’s for our popcorn. As much as I love flavor, I have been truly loving the butter flavor. It’s light and not greasy. We have also been making so many recipes from Deliciously Ella’s cookbook. I have read her blog for awhile now, so I decided to buy her cookbook for Ashley for her birthday. Some of our favorite recipes are the quinoa fritters and sweet potato brownies. I can’t wait to give y’all an update on what other recipes we love.
Randoms
Big Brother has consumed Ashley and I’s summers for the past 10 years. We are completely obsessed. We have gotten so many people hooked on it this summer, including our mom, who hates reality TV. We think Vanessa is going to pull out the win. What do y’all think!?
We have so many nooks and crannies in our new apartment to put flowers. Every week we go and grab some fresh flowers from a market to spread around. They bring a bit of sunshine into our lives which we are loving.
What have y’all been loving the moth of July!? Let us know in the comments below.
