It's June! How crazy is that? We have almost reached the halfway point of 2015!
I love reading/ watching monthly favorites but I never felt like I had enough things to share to write a post like this every single month. I don't change my skincare at all because I like what I have and I am too scared to try anything else. Additionally, I am not really fussed about body care products as long as they smell somewhat nice and get the job done. Although I like makeup, I don't really wear a lot of it and I pretty much like and use what I own, so there isn't very much new and exciting each month. So I just decided to add a few categories and voilà! From now on I will be sharing favorite tv shows, favorite clothing items, favorite activities etc. The categories will vary from month to month but this will keep it even more exciting.
Favorite Nail polish
I like a bit of nail polish (ok, I like nail polish a lot). But I am quite picky when it comes to color selection - blue always works for me, but other shades? I am not so sure... But this month I have been loving this pastel pink a lot. It is a bit #girly for me but sometimes that is what you need. It's also a nice alternative to my blues - do I love it more? I don't think so... I can hear you all screaming at your screens, so I am just gonna answer your question: it is Essie's "Fiji".
Favorite lipstick
Here I am telling you that I hardly buy any makeup and now I am presenting to you a new lipstick. Say what? But I do want to stick with my statement. I don't own a single lipstick (unless you count my Clinique Chubby stick and that one lip pencil from Maybelline). I have been considering purchasing a MAC lipstick for a while but the color selection just overwhelmed me and for trying it out, the price was just a little too high for me. I was so happy when I found a shade similar to what I have been looking for in Maybelline's Color Sensational Lipstick in "Intense Pink". The name doesn't do the color any justice, it is not an intense pink but more a subtle rose shade. I love it. But I would say that it is a bit drying on the lips (probably because it is matte) so better put that chapstick on first.
Favorite shoes
I love shoes. Especially sneaker. I would love to have all the brand in all the styles but only in black please. Now you don't have to tell me that that is a bit excessive. So, I did my research and picked up the Nike "Internationalist" in black/ silver the other month. They are the most comfortable shoes ever (even more comfortable than the Nike Air Max) and they go with every outfit. I have been away a lot of the weekends this month and I always only brought this pair. It's love.
Favorite TV show
Oh, Netflix... I like watching series but I don't really like binge watching, so I was looking for a new series that I would enjoy but not get addicted to... I started White Collar because I do like series like that (Suits, Lie to Me, etc.). I like that the episodes are about an hour long so that you can easily stop after one or two episodes. It is not boring at all, I do always want to know what's going to happen next but the episodes leave you satisfied and not make you wanna binge watch - at least not me.
Favorite activity
I made sushi this month. For the first time ever and I loved it. It tasted so great, it looked pretty and it tasted amazing - what more could you possibly want? We had a girl's night in, watching the finale of Germany's Next Topmodel - it was literally so much fun and so delicious. My friend had a kit with all the ingredients and recipes - although we just put in what we liked best: salmon, avocado and cream cheese. YUM!!
