• 'Once Upon A Time' - Yes, six years late, I've finally joined this bandwagon and what a wagon it is. I'm only on season 2 because binge-watching + guilt of not doing uni work means I've only managed a measly 36 episodes in 30 days... I know, terrible. I think the writing is flawless - the interlinking STORYlines are fantastic and I'm always HOOKed by every cliff hanger... Okay, okay! I'll stop.

• Marilyn Monroe Box Set - Come along now, it's no secret I love Marilyn Monroe. Having watched a lot of her films before, she's actually on the month's favourites for aesthetic purposes. I've used the DVDs to create wall art in my dormitory room with titles like 'Bus Stop' and 'Let's Make Love' being great attractions to glam up my room!
• Georgia Productions - Not exactly "films" as such, but all the same I've been binge-watching like crazy. This teenage YouTuber has got a seriously cool sense of humour and has provided me with a lot of laugh out loud moments, when I needed some light relief from my 800-page textbooks.

1. The smell in the fridge never goes away

2. 8 washing machines per housing park isn't enough

3. Health and Safety's gone mad

4. Organisation fails after week 2

5. House parties seemingly don't end

Skincare and Beauty

• Makeup Revolution Luxury Banana Powder - For olive skinned girls like me, finding a powder that doesn't make me look white as a sheet is a huge challenge. This yellow pigmented powder literally airbrushes my face, reducing redness and tired under eye bags! My monthly must-have for sure.

• Superdrug Naturally Radiant Complete  Cleanser - I'm sure I've hit a late puberty because I had a clear face as a young teen but recently the spots just don't stop! To top that off, I'm allergic to tea tree, making spot treatments I can use very hard to come by. But this cleanser has shown me improvement in a matter of days and with kiwi extract inside, it smells INCREDIBLE.
• Sudocrem - The amount of people who told me to try this out on my spots is unreal. I didn't believe it and feel I owe everyone a huge apology for my doubt. I use it every night before I go to bed, slather it on across my T-zone and in the morning - poof! Most of the little buggers are gone. Genius.

Shopping

WINNER:

• Aldi - I got a weekly shop for £8.88. 'Nuff said.

NOMINATIONS:

• Superdrug - As you can see from above, I love Superdrug's own skincare range. Plus, the prices are ridiculously low. That banana powder - £5! As well as that, my student ID plus Health and Beautycard gets me a hefty discount. Get in there student life.
• Poundland - I used to work in one of these so I know what I'm talking about when I say BUY YOUR CLEANING STUFF THERE. You're paying double, triple prices at supermarkets for your Fairy Liquid and your detergents. Get them at Poundland - the stuff inside is exactly the same.

Lifestyle

WINNER:

• Bullet Journalling - Big fan of this one. My Bullet Journal helps me destress and keep track of all my day-to-day tasks. Plus, my habit tracker page means I know how much sleep I'm getting and how this is affecting my productivity. Clever, huh?

NOMINATIONS:

• Lush - Anyone who knows me knows I never stop talking about Lush products. I've recently invested in solid shampoo and conditioner bars and I am never looking back. They last for SO LONG and smell amazing too! My decision to ditch the bottles means less packaging waste and less money spent in the long run.
• Morning Showers - When I can be bothered to drag myself out of bed, a morning shower really helps to energise me, especially since I've got my Seanik shampoo bar which fills the room with a citrus, sea salt scent to clear the airways. I always feel more productive if I take an early shower before getting on with the day.

That's all from me this week! Let me know what you've been loving this month and remember...
