FAVOURITES · April

Here are my favourite things from over the course of April. Any images that are not my own click through to their original sources and I have tried to be as comprehensive with the links as I can so you can find more info, outlets where to buy products and where to watch/listen/consume anything else.

Girls (Television)
I think series five might have been one of my favourite series of Girls. I think it may have been because of the distance, literally and figuratively, between the Hannah, Marnie, Jessa and Shosh has made it perhaps more interesting than previous series for me.

This Is What The Truth Feels Like (Music)
Finally after waiting for 10 years for another solo Gwen Stefani album it is finally here. I can't help but listen to it every time in its entirety however stand out tracks for me are Where Would I Be?, Make Me Like You and Obsessed. (PS Gwen just released tour dates with support from Eve - amazing - but no UK dates c'mon Gwen!)

Dysh (App)
Even though this will probably sound like I am sponsored (yeah right) or am just trying to gain followers, I legit love this app (although if you want to follow me my handle is @heatherw). Whilst I haven't taken many pics of food I have eaten out recently I am posting some older pics just so I can join in. I mean who doesn't want to look at pics of food? My only gripe is that you are only able to post Dyshes local to the area you are currently in if you use Android, which is a bit annoying for someone living between Somerset and London.

eat: The little book of fast food (Book)
This is a really nice cookbook from Nigel Slater, both aesthetically with it's clothbound cover and simple layout but also with it's wonderful recipes. The book features a melange of small and slightly longer recipes, all of them just having the right measure of simplicity without compromise. I can't wait to make so many of the recipes in the book!

Not Too Deep with Grace Helbig (Podcast)
I've watched Grace's YouTube videos for a while now and after seeing a few clips from the podcast I decided it was finally time to start listening to her podcast. I started from the very beginning and am now up to episode 22, at the time of writing. Grace as always is totally hilarious and even makes me want to listen to episodes which feature guests I don't follow or know.

FAVOURITES · March

Here are my favourite things from over the course of March. Any images that are not my own click through to their original sources and I have tried to be as comprehensive with the links as I can so you can find more info, outlets where to buy products and where to watch/listen/consume anything else.

Raised By Wolves (Television)
Back for a second series, without a doubt one of the funniest shows I have watched in the past few years. The show's premise takes inspiration from the writers', Caitlin and Caroline Moran, youth. Unfortunately as with all the greatest British shows there is only six episodes per series.

Dark Places (Book)
Although I started this at the start of December in my own true fashion I left it for a few months before picking it up again and reading it properly. This is the second book (third if you include The Grownup) by Gillian Flynn I have read. As with Gone Girl, I thoroughly enjoyed this book and it kept me gripped through its entirety. Although I am not sure on my feelings about the final course of events of the story, without any spoilers I will say that maybe its wrapping up was all a bit too convenient.

Lip Glossy (Beauty)
As someone that rarely wears make-up it is perhaps odd that I have a piece in my favourites for this month. I got the Rosie for Autograph Lip Glossy in the colour Sweet Nothing Kisses, which is quite close to my normal lip colour therefore it gives my natural colour a bit more vibrancy and shine than normal. Although its name is Lip Glossy it doesn't have the shine you'd associate with a lipgloss, it is much more subtle like a lipstick which is personally a bonus. I think I might have to venture out to another colour as I would like something a bit different than my natural lip colour.

25 (Music)
Naturally as I saw her in March (see my post about it here) I listened to a lot of Adele leading up to and after the concert. Personal highlights on the album are Million Years Ago, River Lea and I Miss You.

Barbican Conservatory (Place)
After hearing about the conservatory a while ago I have really wanted to visit it. I have never been to the Barbican at all before but went on my birthday weekend. I really enjoyed the vast variety of plants in amongst the brutalist architecture of the Barbican. I will have to visit again soon and perhaps catch a film or an exhibition at the Barbican Centre whilst I'm there.
