On Saturday 8th August I was lucky enough to attend the Southampton Bloggers event.
I've only recently started blogging properly and still getting my head around my blog and the blogging world, so when I was asked to attend last minute, I was over the moon and a little nervous. Looking at everyone else's blogs they all look so professional - they are amazing!

I went with my gorgeous friend Poppy who has her own fabulous blog and was one of the people who inspired me to start blogging.


I was so anxious all morning as I've been struggling to get out the house with my anxiety at the moment let alone attend an event and I had no idea what it was going to be like and what you do when you get their, but Poppy took me under her wing and we had a great time.

Alice and Amy did a fabulous job at organising it all and were supported by Hairfinity which provided us with a month supply of hair supplements and ran a 'Blindfolded speed braiding' competiton which I came second in and won another month supply of hair supplements - bonus!




Espa skin care also ran consultations for us all and then provided us with a mini skincare kit with 5 different mini products with instructions on a skin care routine! The girl Jo was so friendly and also gave us a free 30 minute introductory facial voucher which I wasn't expecting!



Out of the wolves were also displaying some of their clothing which looked so beautiful very festival like styles!



They also did an amazing raffle with all money going to the epilepsy society which is close to both of their hearts and mine too so I was more than happy to support this cause and I ended up winning an amazing Avon hamper! Overall £350 was raised for the charity which is great!



They also had an Instagram competition where you could have some fun taking pictures with the Instagram board and props then upload in to Instagram where the winner won a £50 West Quay! I of course chose the princess tiara as I'm definitely a wannabe princess!




Next up food! Oh My Gosh Judes ice cream was incredible! I had the mint choc chip one and it was touch down one of the creamiest ice creams I've ever tasted! They were so lovely to sponsor the event and I will definitely be getting my hands on more of it!
There were also cupcakes from Love Cake Bakery which I didn't try but looked incredible, also mini macaroons which I did try and were so yummy!



The bar also did incredible drinks too! I had a Cucumber and Apple cooler mocktail which was so refreshing and I actually jotted down the recipe to try recreate it at home it was so good! Plus the BBQ fries were so yummy too - even though my tongue was on fire after!

Overall everyone was so lovely and welcoming and although I didn't get to speak to a lot of you as I was lacking in confidence, Poppy and I still had an amazing time exploring what was in store for us and taking in the incredible venue!

So a huge Thank You to Alice and Amy for organizing the fab event and for the amazing goodie bags, I was so overwhelmed when looking through it all and am excited to try the new products and review my favourites :)



Here's a few more pictures from the amazing event :)

I was so excited when it came to the end of the month and I realised I could do my first monthly favourites! I love reading and watching people's monthly favourites to get inspiration on new products to try, so here goes my first monthly favourites to hopefully give you some ideas of new products to try!

The first couple of products in my July favourites are hair related.
During the month of July my hair  suddenly felt really dry. I don't know whether it was the weather or products I was using that did this, but these 3 products really helped!

First is the Garnier Ultimate Blends sleek restorer shampoo and conditioner with coconut oil and cocoa butter. After the first use my hair already felt like it was regaining some of it's moisture and the smell is divine! The mix of coconut oil and cocoa butter makes your hair silky smooth and full of moisture!




Next up is the Aussie 'Miracle recharge moisture' spray. It is a lightweight conditioning spray which you spray on towel dried hair before drying. It gives your hair the added moisture with the Australian Macadamia nut oil. It smells amazing and really helped restore some of my hairs moisture. I also used this during my holiday in Corfu where my hair was under constant sun and it really helps, I would definitely recommend it!



On to body products and this month I have been enjoying the Body shop 'Honeymania' shower gel. It smell's really sweet but not sickly and lathers really nicely making your skin really soft after use. As you can see it's nearly all gone and I've already purchased the 750ml bottle ready for when this one runs out!


My skincare favourite is this Garnier moisturiser. I've had this product for ages and started using it recently and for a drugstore product which only cost £4.39 it's really good! It's a '24 daycare' moisturiser and makes my skin really soft after use. I don't suffer with dry skin so I don't know how effective it would be for someone with dry skin but for me it does the job :)


My next 2 products are lip products!

First up is the Body shop coconut lip butter. First off the coconut smell is mouthwatering and smells so summery and reminds me of the beach and smell of sun cream! It's a really good lip butter and has stopped my dry lips so quickly! I use it in the morning when applying my makeup and then in the evening when i'm removing my makeup and it's just amazing!



Next is this GOSH lip stick in the colour 'Shocking coral 145'. It's the perfect summer colour and is not too bright and out their which I like!


My last beauty product is my Naked 2 pallete which is technically an all year round favourite but I've been wearing it more throughout July. My favourite 'go to' colour is 'Half Baked' the gorgeous glittery gold colour with 'Bootycall' in the inner corner of my eyes and 'Busted' the deep brown along the lash line :) they are such good quality eye shadows and stay on all day without the use of a primer!



On to my random favourite of July, this colouring book has been my savior! I'd definietly recommend getting yourself an 'adult' colouring book if your looking for something simple to relax and destress as it definitely works at doing that for me! This one i got for about £5 from Amazon and came really quick and is just so calming and contains loads of cute patterns to colour!



Next is a YouTuber. I discovered Just_Jodes on twitter and listened to her interview on Beauty and the Beats radio station. She does lots of beauty videos and is such a down to earth girl! She's constantly replying to her Twitter, YouTube, Instagram and Snapchat messages which is so lovely to see. Check her out here - https://www.youtube.com/user/justjodess

Lastly, is Taylor Swift's 1989 album which I've literally had on repeat! My favourite song is either Blank Space or Style!
