Lifestyle Favourites


I actually can't remember the last time I did a makeup favourites. Surely before lockdown as I reckon my average wearing of makeup weekly is about 1x day a week. So I'm here with another lifestyle favourites instead, which just generally consists of how much TV I've been binging and how much reading I've been doing as well. 

Shitt's Creek - A couple of weeks ago my flatmate and I finished Shitt's Creek and honestly I can't tell you how much I loved it. I would have to say it's now up there as one of my all time favourite shows. Shitt's Creek follows the story of a wealthy family whose entire fortune gets taken away from them, so they end up living in the only 'asset' they've still got remaining, which is a shoddy little town in the middle of nowhere. I absolutely bawled my eyes out in episodes, laughed out loud, and it's honestly incredible. The last 3 series were hands down my favourite. 

The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah- I've seen this as a must-read by every book club and every single person on GoodReads. I got it on a kindle deal I think at 99p and it's an absolutely stunning book. It's based in France, World War 2, and about two sisters who live and try to survive through the war. A good book for me is one where you can literally visualise every aspect of the book, from the setting, to the characters it was written so beautifully, and was totally heartbreaking. 

Little Mix - Confetti Singles - I am always going to be a Little Mix fan and have to say I've really been enjoying the latest songs they've put out ahead of their new album launch. I'm obsessed with 'Happiness' and 'Sweet Melody' which are my two faves. To me they are just good bops to dance around the flat to. 

Five Years by Rebecca Serle - Usually I don't put a book as a favourite until I've finished it, but I've been reading this book and I've really been enjoying the twist and turns that are so unexpected. I would say it's a chic-lit kind of read, light reading but I've found it's actually got quite a good story to it, something a bit different to the usual chic-lit! 

Chocolate Orange Everything - When Cadbury's originally came out with the chocolate orange twirl, I was actually quite underwhelmed. However, the Chocolate Buttons and the chocolate fingers are 10x times better. My friend also found me the chocolate orange bourbons and another chocolate orange biscuit. I've always been a fan of Terry's and I'm not mad about every brand jumping on the bandwagon. I've heard Maltesers are planning on coming out with chocolate orange bunny's next year!

Let me know what you've been loving lately in the comments below! TV shows, books, biscuits, I'm all ears.

  7. The Nightingale sounds like a book I would love! Especially if we can really visualise the characters and the setting - I love that too. Recently I've really enjoyed drinking hot chocolate with cinnamon - that always makes me feel like I'm treating myself at home and enjoying a little autumn self-care moment!
    Have a great weekend Caroline! :)
