Without further ado, here are our favourites from July:
1. Careless by Kirsty Capes
Pic from @kirstycapes.author on Instagram.
This coming of age story got us gripped! It tells the story of a 15 year old girl falling pregnant and not knowing who to turn to. Safe to say this book for a complete page turner, pulling on some really important and interesting topics such as acceptance and consent. 5 stars!
2. The Sylwia swimsuit by Half Baked London
Absolutely love the quality of this Sylwia swimsuit, it feels so luxurious on your skin. It is such a classic cut that you can keep with you forever. Half Baked London truly have that timeless look. Would recommend it to anyone who wants to find THAT swimsuit that you will always reach for in your wardrobe.
3. Meditations from the Superhuman App
Have been loving Mimi Bouchard’s everyday guided meditations using her new app. The app is so versatile; you can do seated, writing or even walking meditations! A great option for someone who is just starting to meditate.
4. ‘My Therapist Ghosted Me’ Podcast
This podcast is all about two best friends giving each other and others completely genuine advice about pretty much everything and anything. What can we say it’s just a great listen when you are in need of a good laugh, some good advice and some great company!
5. Eat Better, Live Better, Feel Better by Julie Cove
This cookbook has an amazing bank of information about healthy eating and knowing what you are putting into your body. The recipes are easy, full of veggies and most importantly very tasty! Would recommend this cookbook to anyone who wants to start cooking/wants to lead a healthy lifestyle!
6. Donna Tartt
We have been loving all of Donna Tartt’s books recently. Her style of writing is gripping and mysterious, giving a eerie feeling the whole way through the book. We highly recommend picking up ‘The Goldfinch’ and ‘The Secret History’!
7. Recipes from Mob Kitchen
Loving all the recipes from Mob Kitchen! They are easy, tasty and quick - what more do you want from a recipe?
8. Malibu Rising by Taylor Jenkins Reid
Malibu rising is about a group of siblings trying to keep it together. It will make you cry, laugh and everything in between. Amazing setting and even better storyline!
9. Paintings by the artist Caro Dranow
Caro Dranow is a painter, illustrator and writer based in New England who paints with the environment as her inspiration. Her paintings are incredibly beautiful and the first thing you notice in a room. You can check her out via her Instagram!
