Wow! I’ve managed to get this post up and published a few days into the month and not nearly half way through like normal. Go me!! I think because Noah is feeding every 2-2.5hours now instead of the hourly feeds that he was doing previously has helped a lot in me getting stuff done. He still doesn’t sleep during the day apart from the odd 20 minute power nap so I just have to blog when I can, usually at 11pm at night and half asleep! So without further ado, here are the things I’ve been loving in July.
I love this Oils of Life Sleeping Cream from The Body Shop as it’s just like sleep in a jar. Even if you don’t get a full night’s sleep you will still wake up with amazing radiant skin. You only need to use a small amount of cream and your skin will feel so soft and hydrated in the morning. Plus it will look as though you have had a full eight hours sleep, even when you haven’t! I use this about three times a week along with the Drops of Youth Bouncy Eye Mask that got a mention in last month’s What I’m Loving In…….. It’s perfect for those nights where you are up half the night (and not due to all night partying).
I have been after a wicker picnic basket for many years and this year I finally got my hands on one when I picked up a Joules Grey Whitstable Floral Picnic Basket. This is a 4 person picnic basket and comes with plates, cutlery and plastic wine glasses for four people as well as mini salt and pepper shakers, a bottle opener for those important drinks and a mini cool bag. It is lined with a pretty grey floral material and has enough room to store all those tasty picnic treats. It is perfect for your picnics to the beach, park or countryside.
I got this picnic basket in the John Lewis sale but they are now out of stock but they are still available on the Joules website on a 3 for 2 offer.
Oasis has been my favourite shop for many, many years and it’s where I buy most of my clothes from. They currently have a sale on with up to 70% off plus an extra 20% off (I think this is in-store only). I’ve been in twice this week and picked up quite a few bargains! I bought 10 tops & jumpers, 1 pair of trainers and a dress all for £95 when the original price would have been £371! I asked the store assistant how long the sale was on for and she said they haven’t been told yet when it’s ending so get yourself down there and grab a bargain.
Have you tried the Sleeping Cream? Or picked up any bargains in the sales this Summer? What have you been Loving in July?
I absolutely love Joules, everything from their clothing to their homewares, so that picnic basket is right up my street! My sister and I are holidaying by the seaside right now and a basket like that would be perfect for taking our lunch to the beach – I’m sure you’ll get loads of use out of yours! I’m a big fan of Body Shop products too, especially their cruelty free ethos, the sleeping cream you’ve been loving sounds wonderful!
I love Joules too, they have lots of lovely things. I hope you are having a fantastic time on holiday, having a seaside break with the weather we have been having lately will just be like being abroad. The picnic basket isn’t too bulky either and it has a shoulder strap too for carrying, definitely handy for seaside trips 😊 Like you , the cruelty free aspect is something I look for when buying toiletries and make up so The Body Shop and Lush are top of my list plus they are really good products too 😊
