Lydia's 2018 Favourites

It's almost February, January went by so quickly and where did 2018 go? Last year went by in a flash, and what better way to celebrate the year 2018 than with what I (Lydia) have been loving for the past year! From TV shows to beauty products. Without further ado, lets crack on with my favourites of the past year.

My first favourite of 2018 is a TV show called Friday Night Dinner,  I'm pretty sure everyone has heard of it. It first came out in 2011, and I first watched it in 2017 and loved it! If you haven't heard of it, it is about a jewish family who have a family dinner every Friday night. My favourite episode from all the series' has to be Series 2 episode 6, the episode where they invite Jim (Their neighbour) round for the Friday night dinner - its hilarious! Last year it came onto Netflix. So, I watched it more and loved it even more! Plus all the memes made and everyone talking about it, just made it better!

The second favourite of last year is my tattoo. I got this in October, and I absolutely love it. I decided to get an elephant because they are my grandmas favourite plus they are one of my favourite animals. I love my tattoo and I'm so glad I got it. The picture is just after I had it done, it's all healed now.

Another 2018 favourite is this perfume, it is Shawn Mendes' first perfume 'Signature' I think I have talked about this before on here but I love it. I don't know when this first came out and Shawn does have a second one out now which I haven't tried yet, but, this is in my 2018 favourites because I think I've used it everyday the past year. I love it so much, its my go to perfume!

My next thing I've been loving over the past year is this nail varnish, although I got this for christmas in a Ted baker gift set with other beauty products from family friends, it is my new favourite nail colour recently. It is a Lilac Pink colour, and it is so pretty! This nail varnish is so good because it lasts a long time after you've put it on, plus you can get away with only one coat, which is also really good!!

My fifth and final favourite of 2018 are these films. I'm sure you've all heard of Deadpool, The first Deadpool came out in 2016 and I watched it for the first time last year before I saw the second one when it came out in cinemas last year. They are both really good films, if you haven't watched them before, I recommend you do! I have to say the soundtrack to these films are pretty good, they did very good song choices for both movies! 

These are my top 5 favourites of the past year, 2018 went by so quickly and I can't believe were almost in the second month of 2019! What were some of your favourites from 2018?

Thank You,

Lydia

Jade's August Favourites

Hello, It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hi everyone, welcome back to our blog! It's Jade here and I hope the first week or so of September has treated you well! Wow, I just can't believe there are only 4 months left of 2018. So, much has changed! I haven't done a favourite's blog post in ages, so I thought an August one was due!

Starting off my August Favourites is, this amazing book by Gail Honeyman. I definitely do feel like I am late to the party with this book. It is called 'Eleanor Oliphant Is Completely Fine'. I read it on my holiday and ever since I have made everyone I know, read it. Lydia, Lydia's Mum, Our friend Joy, Nan, and Mum. I feel like I will continue to loan it out as well.  I did find it a bit odd in the first 10 or so chapters, but soon after that I was engrossed in the book. I definitely engaged with the character Eleanor and often found myself laughing. I would 100% recommend this book.

The second favourite of August has to be the album 'Sweetener' by Ariana Grande. The queen has done it again, released such a good album. It was released on the 17th August and I have had it on repeat since! My two favourite songs are 'Breathin' and 'Sweetener'!! So catchy and urghh I love it. Again, if you have not listened to this album then I 100% recommend you do!

This favourite is a beauty favourite. It is a matte liquid lipstick by NYX in the shade 'sandstorm'. I really like this shade. I much prefer nude brown shades and this is the perfect shade. When you first apply this to your lips it is very moist, but after a minute or so it dries up and lasts for ages. You don't even need to reapply this during the evening. This I definitely recommend.

So, recently Lydia and I have been going out a lot more. It is so nice to experience new atmospheres and places! We went clubbing for the first time in August! Then went to our first beer festival! All these new experiences. Both were a learning curb for us and we learned more about ourselves, in the fact we knew what we liked as an individual and what was too much out of our depth for us! I can't wait to try more things out of my comfort zone in September! Starting with tomorrow, we are both going to London on our own! So exciting!

The final favourite is 'Terry's Chocolate Orange Pieces'. Is this cheating? I love these chocolates anyways but with this hot summer we have had, I am super excited for autumn and these remind me of Christmas so much! So, I have been eating them to remind me autumn and Christmas is just around the corner! It is so hard for both Lydia and I at the moment. We have made a pact to not celebrate Christmas until November 1st! It is so hard and a few times we have both nearly cracked!

That is all of my August favourites done! I hope you enjoyed this blog post and if you have one of the same august favourites as me, then please let me know! Thank you for taking the time to read my blog post, I hope you enjoyed it.

Jade's March Favourites

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hi everyone welcome back to our blog, it's Jade here. It is 4 days until my 18th birthday, I am super excited. Whilst I am loving April I decided I would reminisce about the good things in March. So, I decided to do a March favourites, I hope you enjoy.

My first favourite of March has to be this makeup palette from Estee Lauder. I received it in a Christmas gift set a year ago for Christmas. I generally used it for the big mirror. However, recently I have been travelling a lot and I decided to use it because it has pretty much half my face in it! My blusher, bronzer, highlighter and a few similar shades to the ones in my urban decay pallet. So, I decided to give it a go. I really love it and all the shades are very pigmented. I am not sure if the shades are available to buy separately or if they were a limited edition for Christmas, but they are so good.

The next favourite I loved during March was these 'Simple' face make up remover wipes. I usually do not use face wipes to remove my make up because I find my skin becomes red and blotchy. I find using face wash and warm soapy water is better. However, when Lydia and I went to Niall Horan we grabbed a packet to use in the car so we could take our make up off and get straight into bed when we got home. Ever since then when I get home from work late, I have been reaching for these!

My third favourite has to be 5 Second's Of Summer 'Want You Back' single. I absolutely love this song. It is a new style the band is going for. Which I do like. The single has made me very excited for the new album to come out. It is a catchy tune and I recommend you listen to it.

Another favourite from March is the fact I have gone out and done more. Since now both Lydia and I can drive we have been out more. A few weeks ago we visited a farm and helped bottle feed some lambs and I really enjoyed that. Then we both went shopping in Manchester and then saw Niall. I have enjoyed getting out more and creating more memories.

The final favourite from March has to be Wispa bars. Yes, I know they have been around since like ever. I recently fell back in love with them. I got an Easter egg and the chocolate bar inside with it was a Wispa bar and ever since then, I have craved them again and again. I love them.

That's it from me, Jade. Thank you for taking the time to read this blog post. The next time I will be on the blog writing a blog post I will be 18! Wow. Hope you have a great week!

Lydia's February Favourites

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here!

Hello everybody, welcome back to our blog! How are you today? As you can tell by the title this blog post is my (Lydia) February favourites. These are the things I have been obsessed with and loving over the past month. So, without further ado, lets get on with the blog post!

The first of my February favourites is this nail polish. At the moment this is my go to colour, I love it! It's by Avon, it is called Mark. Gel Shine Nail Enamel in the colour 'Moody'. I don't know if it is still on sale as I have had it for a while, but have only just started to use it regularly recently.

My second favourite of February is the Zoella Winter wonderhand hand cream. I absolutely love this hand cream its amazing! My hands become quite dry at times especially in the colder months and its freezing at the moment so my hands are suffering, which is where this hand cream is a life saver, it makes my hands soft again after a day or two of using it. I got this in the Zoella Snowella Treasure Me Pamper box, I absolutely love it!

My next February favourite is this face cream. This face cream is Avon True Nutra Effects Radiance Night Cream, as it is a night cream I obviously use it before I go to bed. I wash my face and then use this, it makes my skin feel very soft, I've used this for a while now, but thought it had to be part of my February favourites. It is also at a very good price of £4.50.

The fourth thing I have been obsessed with in February is a TV Series. I'm sure all of you have heard of a Series called 'Friends'. I had seen odd episodes and clips etc of the show and I've loved it, but I've never watched episodes in order or all of the episodes even though I really wanted to. However, on the 1st January 2018, Netflix added all of the seasons of Friends, I was so excited I started watching them. I have almost finished watching all of the seasons, I just have a couple of episodes left. I love it so much!

My fifth and final favourite of February is a book. This book has been around for a while and has even had a film made based on it. It's called 'The Girl On The Train' by Paula Hawkins. I had heard of it but not read the book or seen the film, however, my mum had the book and read it so we had it in the house. I was looking for a book to read as I hadn't sat down and properly read for ages. So, I picked this book up, and couldn't put it down, It's a great book, I couldn't stop reading it. If you haven't read it before I would definitely recommend it!

So, that's the end of this blog post. Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed this blog post. What is something you've been loving in February? I seriously recommend all of the things in this blog post. Thank you again for reading.

Lydia's August Favourites

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here!

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to our blog. We hope you are having a great day! As you can see by the title today's blog post is by Lydia and is about my August favorites. So, all the things in this blog post are things that I have been loving this past month, so, let's get on with my August favorites.

So, my first favourite of this past month is these candles, I got these from B&M for £2.49. My mum and I went into B&M to get a couple of gifts for some people, I wasn't actually looking for anything but I saw these candles, and as they were Christmas candles, I was very excited. They all smell so good, and so festive! I love them, I haven't actually lit any of them yet, but I'm very excited for when I do. My favourite of the 4 is Winter Berries, it's like a classic smell of Christmas candles, but they all smell so good!

My second favourite of August is this candle holder. It's really cute, again this is from B&M for about £4. I needed a candle holder like this for a while, and when I saw it I needed it. It is so cute, and actually looks really nice, especially when there's a candle in it too! I absolutely love it!

My next favorite of last month is this movie. Now, I think Jade and I have talked about this movie a lot before! It is one of our favorite movies! Elf, is an amazing film, and I always watch it! I've already started watching Christmas films and listening to Christmas music. And Elf is my favourite Christmas film to watch. I love Buddy, the whole film just makes laugh and feel so festive!

The fourth favorite of mine is this hand sanitizer, this is a bit of a weird one I guess. But, it's in my favorites because I absolutely love it. I normally have the hand soap of this, and when I saw it I had to get it. It just smells amazing and is perfect for having at college! Bubblegum is just an amazing scent.

My fifth and final August favorite is the Zoella Catching Trinkets Jewellery Tray, it's so cute! It's perfect for a bed side table and keeping small and loose jewellery. I misplace some of my jewellery, so this is perfect, plus it looks so cute! It is on sale for £12 so it is quite pricey, it is just amazing so it is worth the money.

So, that's my August favorites! I hope you enjoyed this blog posts! And I hope you enjoyed reading about my favorites. What have you been loving in August? Thank you again for reading and I hope you enjoyed.

Jade's Music Favourites

We were shortlisted for best 'Beauty Blog' and 'Best Joint Blog' and thanks to you guys voting for us we won best joint blog. Thanks again. Lydia and I now have an award winning blog! Also, it is Lydia's birthday today so HAPPY BIRTHDAY.

Lydia's March Favourites

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here!

Hello Everyone! Welcome back to the blog! As you can see by the title today's blog post is Lydia's March Favourites, it's that time again to show you all what I've been loving the last month. So, lets get started with the blog post!

My first March favourite is a duvet cover, now this may be a bit of a weird one to some but I absolutely love my duvet cover that is on my bed at the moment. I normally have plain or dark duvet covers but I loved it when I saw it, it's a Ornate Paisley design. It was also a good price, it was £12 from Primark, I think it's a very good price and quality for a double duvet set. Plus it is really comfy and makes me love my bed even more, if that's actually possible!

My second favourite from March are these hair bobbles. I know, I know, these have been around for ages now and the hype has been and gone but I didn't buy them in the hype, but last month I thought, they're worth ago, I didn't actually know if they worked and stopped your hair from getting lines in it when your hair is up. So, I bought them. I will tell you now they are amazing! Like they actually work! I use them instead of the normal ones now, they are just so good! I would definitely recommend them! I got a pack of 5 for £1, which I think is very good. There is only 3 in this picture, I was using the other 2.

My third favourite of March is a book, the book is called 'A Street Cat Named Bob' by James Bowen. I always struggle to find a good book, but this is a really good book. I had heard reviews about the film and the book and that they were really good, so I got the book a while ago, but started reading it fairly recently, and it is actually a really good book. I think I like it more because it is about a cat, and I like cats.

My forth March favourite is this lip balm, this may be really boring, but it has been a favourite of mine the past months. This is because I have used it a lot. I seem to be getting really chapped lips lately so I have to use a lip balm and this is my go to lip balm, I find it works really well and makes my lips soft again! I probably use it too much some times!

My fifth and final March favourite for this blog post has to be this hand cream. I've had this since late December and have started using it lately as my hands get really dry, and I find this hand cream really does help, plus it smells really good! It's from Oliver Bonus, they sell some really cute things and I got this as I liked the sound of Freesia & Pear as a smell, and I was right, it smells so good. I'm not sure how much it cost as Oliver Bonus can sometimes be a little pricey, but it was worth the money!

Anyway, that's the end of this blog post! I hope that you enjoyed this blog post and are having a great day! Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed! What has been your March favourite?

Jade's 2016 Favourite's

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello, everyone, I hope you are doing well. It's Jade here. Wow, is it that time already? The time where I tell you guys what I loved throughout 2016. Truthfully I am glad to see the back of 2016 and I hope 2017 is much better. So without further ado lets get on to what I loved during 2016.

Also dont forget to come back to our blog this Thursday to check out our first ever blog interview with a blogger. All will be revealred Thursday 12th January.

So first up in 2016, I loved the Urban Decay Naked Pallet 1. I received it for Christmas 2015, so throughout 2016 I always reached for this pallet. I feel like it has a variety of shades and that is why I love it so much. I feel like my blending skills have gotten so much better in the past year. I tend to use the shade 'Naked' on the eye lid then I put 'Sin' on top. Then I put 'toasted' in my creases and blend them in. After that, I usually put 'Virgin' in the inner corners of my eye lids to brighten up my eyes.

My next favourite of 2016 has to be the Real Techniques blending sponges. You may know that I used to be obsessed with the Real Techniques Expert Face Brush, I would use nothing else but that brush to apply my foundation. Then obviously I got the new Nars All Day Luminous Weightless Foundation (which I would never recommend) Here is my review on that foundation if you want to check it out. (just click the word here). Anyways I bought this sponge to test out the foundation. Ever since then I have always used this sponge. It is amazing and helps me apply my foundation a lot more smoother now. Also, I had washed these sponges before I took this picture but where I use the sponge the most the foundation has stained the sponge. Gutted, if any of you know of a way of getting that out then it would be much appreciated. 

The next favourite I loved in 2016 is the Yankee Candle Berry Trifle. What a surprise to see a candle appear in my favourites. Anyways, this has to be my favourite I got it for Christmas 2015 and I instantly loved the smell. I sparingly used it as I didn't want it to run out as it's a Christmas edition you can only get it around that time of the year. So for this Christmas I was very happy when I received the biggest version of this candle. 

Zoella products in general have been my favourite in 2016. I love all the products I have and I often repurchase. I can not decide if Tutti Frutti or Sweet Inspirations are my favourite range. I love the Soak Opera and I had to buy another one just to take this photo. So everything in this picture is my favourite product from each of the ranges Zoë has released. I was lucky enough to get a pamper hamper for Christmas so I have a fair share of the gingerbread scent. I have to say the gingerbread spray is a little too overpowering for me. 

My next favourite is very random but it is the Thorntons Mini Caramel Shortcake Bites. I am an all round lover of caramel. Anything that has caramel on it I love. So when I found these in the supermarket I had to get them. I know they are unhealthy but once and a while a little bite will not mind. They are so rich in flavour and they are very moreish. I have to stop myself from eating the whole packet. Recently I found out they did white chocolate versions of these.  So I got them for Lydia and I to try. All I can say is wow, once myself and Lydia took a bit we instantly looked at each other and said 'Omg'. They were so so nice. I have just realised I have written a whole paragraph on a caramel shortcake bite, I feel like that says a lot about me. HaHa!

The next favourite of 2016 is Blogging. I feel like in 2016 I fell in love with blogging a lot more. I felt like it was an escape from the outside world. There was nothing more I loved than coming home from a stressful day of GCSE revision and opening my laptop to write a blog post. It helped me unwind and I really enjoyed it. It has driven me to want to do more with the blog this year in 2017 and make it better. Lydia is also on board with that so hopefully this year our blog is much more advanced. 

This favourite is quite important to me. This is because without my laptop I would not be able to blog or do my college assignments. I have the Macbook Air 13 inch. I love it so much. It is light weight and easy to travel with. As I do media I have access to programs like Adobe Premiere Pro etc. I just love it. 

My last but no means least favourite is my Kylie Jenner Lip Kit. I have the Shade Candy K. I love it so much and the lip liner is great I use it all the time. I feel lucky to have one of these and I am glad I bit the bullet and finally bought one.  Candy K suits my skin tone and I reach for it a lot. I personally would not buy another one because of the shipping costs and customs fees. I can't remember exactly how much it cost me in the end but the shipping and customs charges cost more than the lip kit. Don't get me wrong if they were sold here in the UK then I would not hesitate to buy loads more. But throughout 2016 I used my lip kit, I love it. 

Well that is a wrap! Thank you so much for taking the time out your day to read this blog post. We really do appreciate all the people reading our blog.  I hope you have enjoyed reading all about my 2016 favourites, What is your 2016 favourite? Also Happy New Year !!!

Lydia's September Favourites

Hello It's 2 Peas In A Pod Blog Here,

Hello everyone, today's blog post is by me, Lydia. As you can tell by the title it's that time again where we write about our favourites for the past month. You may be thinking that were already in the middle of October and Halloween is just around the corner. You are correct to think that but this is the only chance I have had to share my September favourites. The following products are all the things that I have been using a lot and love for the past month.

The first September favourite is the Aussie Miracle Shine Shampoo, as you all may know we did recently do a review on this shampoo so you know how much I love it and use it, but I wanted to add it into my September favourites as I use it a lot and am in love with it, it leaves my hair smooth and shiny, and is one of the best shampoos I've used. I would recommend it to anyone that is looking for a good shampoo. You can get it from most beauty shops and supermarkets and also offline, it is a reasonable price for how good it is.

My next favourite of the past month is this detangling spray. I'm not sure if this has been one of my favourites before but I love this, it has saved my hair many times. I use it every time I wash my hair, it just helps take any knots out and also makes my hair less likely to get knots in. It's from Avon and is fairly cheep, it lasts a long time and also smells amazing.

My third favourite is this box set. This is my favourite box set, it's called Miranda and includes the 3 series's of the show. It's a TV show that stopped due to Miranda Hart, the main character, getting older and not wanting to do it anymore as she had grown out of doing it. I've always loved the show and was upset when it finished but luckily I was able to get the box set the other year for Christmas, since I've had it I watch it constantly, I know most of the lines in the episodes and it still makes me laugh even when I know what is going to happen next.

My next favourite is this note book, you may recognise it from the blog post I did about what I got for my birthday earlier this year. This notebook has been a lot of help in college, during my theory lessons on a Wednesday I have to write a lot of notes for future reference, this notebook holds all of them and is a massive help to me. It's also super cute, I love it.

My last favourite is this song it's called Goodbye Mr A by The Hoosiers. It first came out in 2007, I had heard it a few times from 2007 till now and liked it but I recently found it again and I absolutely love it. I listen to it on repeat all the time. It's a pop song from the 00's and is a good tune that I love.

Thank you for reading this blog post, I hope you enjoyed it and liked reading about my September favourites. What are your favourites for the past month? Do you have a song that you listen to on repeat all the time? Thank you for reading and I hope you enjoyed it.
