Hello everyone and happy August, aka MY BIRTHDAY MONTH!!!

Yes, I’m that person who celebrates throughout the whole month, and sometimes it spills over into September 💁‍♀️

I do this mostly because it is justification for purchases haha.

“Should I get it?… yes it’s my birthday month!” And so on.

June through to September are actually incredibly busy months for me in regards to social events and birthdays. So I am definitely gearing myself up for some spendy times ahead.

My best friend and I have actually decided to do a joint birthday celebration at the beginning of September which is soooooo exciting.

But like I said… spendy.

There’s not a lot of time to save for it nor a lot of opportunity for saving this month. Wish me luck!

My fave post this week was my feature on Cortney’s blog, as part of her “Chat With…” series. So exciting! Have a read and show your support here. 

Daisy shared this fab monthly faves blog post and upon her recommendation, I’ve started listening to the Walk the Talk podcast!

These workout tights have pockets! Yay!

I actually went to Kmart this week and bought some new work out gear. I haven’t bought any in years. But it’s kinda a way of saying to myself, “alright you should go to the gym now” 😂 Still waiting for that to kick in.

I really enjoy reading informative posts like this on IG. I know my own habits, I read a few of the same blogs and don’t really venture beyond that. And you guys voted in a poll I did a while back that you would prefer to see product reviews on my feed than on the blog- I don’t blame you, it’s so convenient. I’m enjoying that format too.

I love saving blue eye looks to try and recreate. How stunning is this.

Mint and Moss have 40% of scarves and beanies this week… shop quickly, because winter certainly doesn’t look like it’s leaving Melbourne any time soon!

Another fab podcast I listened to this week came from my fave Bachie contestant Laura Byrne (and co host Brittany Hockley), Life Uncut. I’m a sucker for reality TV, particularly the Bachelor franchise… so I am all here for this girl boss duo. Anddddd it’s so interesting to hear the BTS on their Bachie experiences.

More Bachie related links… the best part about this show is the recaps that come from it- like this one. Dead 😂

I am sooooooo in love with this eyeshadow palette… WANT!

Sister Club members, make the most of this extra 10% off at Priceline!

Emma curated a list of realistic “morning routines” which I’m like, yasss, this is the kinda thing I like to watch!!

Speaking of videos, I love watching Rachel’s “week in the life” videos… I would love to have a YouTube channel but 1) privacy and 2) I would just ramble lollll.

Emily shares her July Bella Box First Impression, which makes me so excited because Bella Box are gifting me the August Box! Can’t wait to share that with you soon.

A few fab deals at Paula’s Choice, but I’m like ahhh where do I even start!

Buy 2 get 1 free on Scrunchies at Rush Rush Co using the code “scrunchiestack”!

This week I got my giveaway prize from Ree and it included the Anastasia Beverly Hills Prism eyeshadow palette and oh em geeeee I get it!! I GET IT!!! As in, I get the hype. It is truly stunning. Feel so grateful! Thank you Ree x

Hiuy has an amazing giveaway happening right now… which I wanted to share because you have to be subscribed to her YouTube channel to enter- do that here. She’s a babe!

@littelbeauty_reviews introduces themselves on Insta which is sooooo fun! Hi Lily and Bea! Be sure to give these Aussie girls a follow. Finally, I joined Fohr today. Not really sure what it’s about, but I see that @beauty_withlauren and Cortney use it so I figure it’s a worthwhile tool to have in the blogging game. I’ll let you know how I find it.
