Loving lately | October 2019

It's been a while since I've done a 'loving lately' post so in case you're interested, here's all the things I've been using/doing lately that I'm, well, loving!

Life


I recently went to Spain for a week and absolutely loved just being able to chill out, as well as taking a wee day trip to the busy city of Barcelona. I've written about the trip HERE if you want to know more, but I honestly had a ball and it was just what I needed.


I'm also loving the fact that my freelance work has really taken off recently - I currently have two steady clients with a lot of ad-hoc work coming in too. I quit my office job just under a year ago, but didn't start actively looking for freelance work until January of this year. To say I'm now matching my income from when I worked in a job that didn't challenge me, which I had to travel to and just honestly didn't enjoy, makes me so proud!

Entertainment


I saw Joker in the cinema and thought it was fantastic. I'm not a film critic by any stretch of the imagination but I really bloody loved it, and would recommend it. I've also just finished watching Black Spot on Netflix, which is terribly dubbed (it's French) and really far-fetched but a good watch all the same.

Music wise, I didn't do a playlist for this month because I was heading to Spain - you can listen to my holiday playlist HERE if you're interested, though. I've also been listening to Missy Higgins a lot, just because I adore her, and my boyfriend's band recently released a brilliant new album and I've had that on a lot lately, too.

Beauty


My top product of the moment is probably the Miracle Water* by iT Cosmetics - it has worked wonders for my skin over the past few weeks, and gets off the most stubborn make up. It's expensive but SO worth it! I've also been loving the Design.ME PowerDry.ME* - you spray it in your hair before you blow dry it and it makes your hair dry quicker?! It's SO clever and a proper time-saver.


I've been getting classic lashes done, and I'm obsessed. I feel a million dollars even when I don't have any make up on, and it saves so much time getting ready. Honestly you'll never catch me with just my natural lashes again. If you're local to me I'd definitely recommend Eleanor because she's a babe and mine look boss.

So there's everything I've been loving lately! Tell me in the comments what you've been loving this month too.

  2. Congratulations on your freelance work, it goes to show that hard work always pays off! And I would love to try both of the beauty products you mentioned - I've been loving IT Cosmetics lately and it takes ages to blow dry my hair, so they sound absolutely perfect.

  12. I SO need this blowdry spray! I have a ton of thick hair and it's a hardcore workout trying to blowdry my hair. In summer, I barely bother but in winter I have to!

  17. That's amazing that you're doing so well with your freelance work - congratulations and well done on your hard work! Your trip to Spain looked amazing, I've never been so I really need to sort that. That hair stuff sounds incredible?! My hair takes about a decade to dry so I need to test it out!
