Random June Favourites & Quick recipe | Chatty Blog Post

Good Afternoon you beautiful bunch! Aimee here.
In England right now it is Boiling HOT!
So todays post is going to be a random favourites. The reason it is random is because I have such a wide range of things I want to talk about..

There is is only one beauty fave this month because my makeup hasn't really changed much. My favourite beauty product this month has been the YSL Touch Eclat concealer pen. The reason I love this concealer is because I have horrible dark circles around and under my eyes which are a massive pain in the ass! The concealer doubles as a highlighter and is amazing coverage so when I apply it to my eyes it covers the discolouration AND brightens my eyes! In the summer I like going for the Kim Kardashian under eye concealer look which is applying the concealer in a upside down triangle shape because it really highlights the eyes. It is quite pricey but if you have the money I would really recommend that you invest in it especially if you have dark circles like me!

My next fave of the month is food related.  As you may know I am trying(trying being the correct word) to lose weight, which to be honest I am having mixed results with, I am trying but then I am not being too strict with myself, I have dropped a dress size which is good but I have only lost 6.5lbs up to now. The past week or so I have been having the same thing for lunch every single day because I LOVE IT.
How I make my Lunch
You will need; Tuna(in brine rather than sunflower oil), sweet corn, extra light mayo, salt,pepper, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, a quarter of a red or yellow bell  pepper and a whole grain bagel. 

--------------
Firstly, mix the tuna, sweetcorn, mayo, salt,and pepper in a bowl, cut the bagel in half and put the tuna filling in(avoiding the hole, duh) put the top of the bagel on and place in a sandwich maker, I actually use a george foreman grill to make my toasties and bagels because that's just what we have haha. leave it for about 6-7 minutes and you're done, take it out and serve with the cucumber,bell peppers and tomatoes.
I love having this for my lunch because it is filling and nutritious. It has protein,carbs and vegetables in which makes it a nearly balanced meal. I love tuna and I love bagels so this recipe is my ultimate food porn.

My next favourite thing of the month has been the Calypso Dry Oil Sun Protection. The last week has been so sunny where I live and I have been making the most of it to say the least, unfortunately for me though it has ended and today is chilly and miserable. But when it has been hot I have been covering myself in this sun oil in factor 30. The reason I love this is because it's not a cream it is a clear oil which means you don't really have to spend ages rubbing it to make it disappear into your skin, it doesn't make you sticky for ages either which is important for me because OMG that is like my idea of hell. It was also the sun protection I used last year when I went on holiday and that was one of the best holidays I have ever had and when I smell this on my skin it reminds me of then. The smell is just out of this world, it smells like a mixture of coconut and mixed fruit when you first put this on but then when it has time to settle it smells like coconut mainly.. Another reason I love this product is because every sale supports the Marie Curie Cancer Care charity and I think that 50% goes to them.

My next fave has been a specific search on youtube. That search has been: " sixth form haul/tips" which I know is like super super super cringe but anyone who knows me knows that I hate not knowing about things that are coming up, so I LOVE to plan everything down to as much detail as possible. Up until my induction day on the 26th of June(Chloe is in the middle of writing about that for you guys) I had absolutely no idea what sixth form was going to be like so I watched as many videos as youtube had to offer about the stationary I will need, the things I should/shouldn't do as well as just general info about sixth form life, I would like to think I am now pretty clued up about sixth form, but these videos are becoming my secret obsession, I am now really looking forward to starting sixth form now that it isn't so scary HAHAHA.

My fave song of June was by James Bay and that was "let it go". Now when I told my mam to listen to this song she told me that she wasn't listening to any more FROZEN! After cracking up at her for about 15 minutes I explained that it was not a frozen song she listened to it and she now loves it. It is such a lovely song and I love James Bay. Another fave song of mine from this month was Little Mix; Black Magic, I'm not the biggest fan of their music but its such an upbeat and catchy song.
My fave band of the month has been 5 Seconds of Summer. As you may know, Chloe and I along with our friend Jayne, went to see 5sos at newcastle on the 2nd June. If you have read my blogpost about the concert you will know how much I loved that night so much!

Thats everything for now guys I am sorry this was a bit rambly and also late up but I have had so much stuff going on. I shall be posting a day in the life routine on Friday where a talk all about what I do in the day- look out for that won't you!
See you later,
