I always enjoy taking a little break from full blown makeup posts and sharing some of my current non-beauty favorites or things I've been loving lately.
Reading: One of my goals each evening is to put away my phone and laptop and crawl into bed with something to read and a cup of hot water or tea. I've been going through a long list of magazines I'm behind on and turning to lighthearted mysteries. I personally love all of the UK magazines - Harper's Bazaar, Elle, Vogue, and Marie Claire and usually the top of my list. For non-magazine reads I'm turning to the final few books I have left in Jennie Bentley's DIY Series - murder mysteries + interior design.
Watching: A few months back I finally decided to watch Pretty Little Liars and I flew through the four seasons on Netflix. Now I'm absolutely dying to watch the fifth season that just finished. Let me know if you have any similar series you love I can binge watch on Netflix in the meantime!
Shopping: I've been doing too much shopping (isn't that always the problem though?!) At the moment I'm loving my new olive colored skinnies, my Topshop trench, and totally lusting after these dungarees and this bag.
Blog Loving: I was introduced to Alix's blog through Suzie of Hello October and I am so happy to have found both her YouTube and blog. Alix creates beautiful content and puts so much thought and effort into everything she does. Along with her makeup taste, I also really adore her style.

I think I'm the only one who hasn't started watching PLL. Everyone is talking about it, so it really must be good! Suzie and Alix are two of my favourite bloggers right now - good choice! :)

I really share in your need to put down the screens and read! Alix's blog is beautiful - I've always admired how much she puts into it.

Ooh you definitely need to start watching! I binge watched the 4 seasons on Netflix over the past few months and now I'm dying to watch season 5!

It's nice at the end of the day to not be looking at a screen! Between work and blogging it's much needed!
ReplyDeleteAlix edits the most beautiful videos!! She is so talented.

I just started watching Alix's channel, love her! & I am catching up on PLL. We should binge watch the 5th season once we can get our hands on the beginning episodes :)
ReplyDeleteIt is nice to take a break from beauty related things every once in a while! I know how you feel about the too much shopping - I feel like there were a lot of sales going on that I decided to partake in! Now comes the waiting. I think it's a good thing to unplug at the end of the day, I've slowly started getting back into reading books and I've been liking the little routine of getting to bed and curling up with a good book!

Alix totally amazes me with her editing skills - so good!
ReplyDeleteGah I wish it wasn't like 50 dollars to buy the 5th season!!
I so look forward to bed/reading time now! It feels like a treat at the end of the day to curl up and unplug for a bit!
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome! Her content is always so beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThe Loft pants are so comfy! They also come in an amazing cement-ish color as well! I almost bought those too but figured they were too close to my white jeans.
