:) June Favourites

Hello :) 

I try to only write things that do at least one of three things : 
1) Help Someone
2) Make someone smile 
3) That I would want to read 

I have recently started reading quite a lot of monthly favourites blogs and I have realised that I actually really enjoy them :) So I thought I'd try it and see how it goes because if you don't try anything you'll never know if anything works . One of my favourite quotes to leave on quick hopeful notes is : 

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take " 

This is so true you have to just take a chance sometimes because you never know how absolutely perfect something could turn out to be <3 

Soo I guess I better stop rambling and get on with it ... Please don't like throw rocks at me or anything I'm just trying my best oh and if you want to comment any of your favourites this month them feel free to comment below ( I am aware you probably won't but just in case you fancy it the offers there ;) )

Cinema :)

Well considering my recent obsession with John Green's amazing book The Fault In Our Stars there's no prizes for guessing what my favourite film is right now :) This beautiful love story wasn't just a love story but a tale of truth and cancer . These star crossed lovers who can't fathom their thoughts into constellations left everyone in the cinema in laughter, tears and most of all despair over the death of their beloved Augustus Waters and his crooked smile <3 As a result I have also become obsessed over The Fault In our Stars merch :) I will leave the link to the official merch store of DFTBA ( Don't Forget To Be Awesome ) here :) I also wrote a blog straight after I saw the film , It's kind of a review and kind of not but I talk about my opinions of the film compared to the book and you can find that here.

Books :) 

I love reading <3 I always have since I was very little I remember Reading in bed trying not to get caught because it was ten o'clock on a school night ... I still have that problem but at three am ;) My Top three favourite books this month are : 



One Million Lovely Letters By Jodi Ann Bickley :
My thoughts of this book can't even make words. Jodi Ann Bickley is a remarkable, self less woman whom started off the most inspirational project to send people who needed it a " hug in an envelope" This heart warming auto- biography has changed my views on so many things forever <3 Please just read it I promise you won't regret it :) My favourite part is when she talks about her child hood I love the quote : 
" There were cups of tea to fix slit wrists and laughter to sellotape heartaches " The book really shows just how far kindness can go <3 I wrote more about my thoughts while reading it here . I also wrote about Ms Bickley's Project a while ago if you want more information on that you can find all the links in the blog i'll link to here :)


Sweet Honey by Cathy Cassidy: 
What was thought to be the final in The Chocolate Box Girls series turned out to be fantastic :) In Sweet Honey, Honey moves to Australia for a fresh start with her dad and meets the gorgeous Ash who works in the cafe on the beautiful beach ... a lil bit different from Tanglewood house . I love the whole series and although it's not my favourite; it's got to be a close second . Definitely read the book as part of the series though just so you can understand Honey's background :) Best of all on the last page of the book is an announcement for a surprise sixth book <3 I can't wait :) 



Eleanor & park by Rainbow Rowell :
By Far this is my favourite book this month <3 I would recommend this book to anyone :) Eleanor is an unusual ginger girl who is best described by Park “Eleanor was right. She never looked nice. She looked like art, and art wasn't supposed to look nice; it was supposed to make you feel something." <3 So well written and told from both characters prospectives this book will do exactly what John Green said it did for him : 
" Reminded me not just what it's like to be young and in love with a girl, but also what it's like to be young and in love with a book " As usual Mr Green couldn't be more right :) 

Song :) 



 

My Favourite Song changes pretty much on an hourly if not momently ( is that a real word?) basis :) But in this currant second it's The Wrong Direction by Passenger :) I like songs that make me feel happy and although the lyrics are well written yet slightly depressing, I find that the cheery guitar music just makes me smile :) 

Clothing :) 

I have found quite a lot of tops that I like this month as well as a new found love for wearing dresses because well everyday is special :) Anyways this month I think my favourite top is a Batman top that I found on the New Look website , I haven't bought it yet , I'm hoping to tomorrow though :) What do you think ? It's £12.99 and  If you like it , you can find it here :)


Etsy

This month I've discovered Etsy which is amazing and full of cute home made things.... It's like my paradise :) It was so difficult to pick my favourite item because I found so much awesome stuff for all the fandoms that I have become obsessed over but in the end I decided that it had to be this Hufflepuff top after my awesome day out at the WB Harry Potter Studio's in London That I wrote about here :) 
Click here to find this top <3

Website :)

Only recently I've started using Pinterest again :) If you want any quick fix positivity then follow my on pinterest , I post positive quotes  days :) You can find me here :)

Jewellery :) 


On many occasions I've written about hopefuls and the hopeful forum . Well I found a hopeful on the hopeful forum who made and sold really cute jewellery on her website :) I'm definitely going to order some stuff , you should check it out at daisymaejewellery.com/ My Favourite piece of jewellery from her website is a really cute Four Wishes Necklace which is a tiny bottle with four little dandelion seeds in so you will always have four wishes on you <3



Blog :) 

I know I mentioned this blog earlier in the month because it's just so good and a similar positive style to mine :) You can Find BeNiceItsTuesday here :)

YouTuber :) 

Last but by no means least , I'd like to mention a new YouTuber that I've found :) She is also a hopeful and I really like her videos <3 She does a lot of reviews ( her most recent is of John Green's " Looking For Alaska" )and she's just generally got a nice style so if you want to check her out ; Her account name is Little_Dreamer3
