M-L's August Favorites of 2014

          Hello everyone!

Even though we are still technically in August, I wanted to share with you guys what my favourites were for the month! And besides, there's really only like, three days until we go into September so why not do it now? Better early than on time, and better late than never... =P. Let's get into it!!!!!


  • I am going to start off with this new dry shampoo that I bought at Walmart. It's the Herbal Essences Dry Shampoo. I have it in the citrus scent. It's works pretty well, but that's the only dry shampoo that I've used since I actually started "owning" dry shampoo so I can't really compare it to the other brands out there. It's works pretty well so far and the scent smells pretty good and refreshing. I think it comes with a lot of product and it's pretty affordable too.

  • I've been using the Pantene Daily Moisture Renewal Conditioner. I don't particularly like the scent, I mean it smells decent, but I like shampoos and conditioners that smell sweet or fruity or refreshing. But it works well and I like it. It leaves my hair feeling soft and shiny but not greasy. I like it, but I just wish that the scent was different. Other than that though, it's definitely a thumbs up.                                                          
  • The Tropicana Orange Juice is so refreshing and citrus-y and orange-y! My mom bought the 4 pack in a box from Costco on Tuesday and let me tell you that our whole top shelf in my family's fridge is our orange juice cartons. The particular one we have doesn't have pulp. I'm the kind of person that doesn't mind whether it has pulp or not but my family kind of makes a big deal out of it... LOL... JK. Oh and can I just say that the day we bought this, we finished one carton already. We're up to about two and a half now!
  • The Victoria's Secret's lotion in Enchanted Apple smells SOOO good! It's light, and fruity, and it doesn't have such a strong scent that sometimes leave you with a headache. But it's not light enough that the scent fades away the same day you slather it on. I like it a lot. Although I do have quite a number of lotions and I'm trying to use them up, so I stopped using that lotion a couple days ago to get rid of my other lotions. I have about... half of it left? I think..? Though I'm thinking of repurchasing this...
  • I've had this blanket for about...5 or 6 or 7 years now and I still have it. It's in good condition, it doesn't shrink in the dryer, it's like I just bought it even though I've had it for more than five years. Actually, when my sister and my dad went to Vietnam, they bought that blanket for me and they bought quite a few for themselves and the family. And they bought this pillow that looks like a... log? But I'll talk about that log pillow later. Anyway, I still use them and it's still terrific for all four seasons. It's not such a thick blanket, but it's not too thin either. It's good to sleep with during the summer because it's thin enough. But when it's winter or cold, I use this blanket as a layer to my actual comforter. It's so versatile and I just love it. It was still hot at the beginning of August so I used that. Now it's actually colder (and it's actually raining right now as I type, just want to let you know =) ), I sleep in a comforter and I use the blanket as a layer. The size is pretty big, but I have the smallest size. So in the picture I have, my blanket is folded in half. I have the matching regular pillow case but I also have the matching "log pillow" too. But I don't have the comforter sheet. It's my all time favourite blanket and it's blue too!

  • The Ice Breakers Frost Mints... they work so well and they're delicious! They leave my mouth feeling so refreshed and not exactly clean, but pretty clean and excellent. I think that this will be my go-to mint brand. It's so... so... wow... I can't even explain it. Just the Ice Breakers brand in general, their mint flavour selections and gums are very good. But even though I like their gum, I prefer the Gum Five more. Still, their mints are to die for and I really care about having good smelling breath, and I have like, five packs of mints and gum in my backpack right now because I am just that crazy. XD


So those were my favourites of this month! I hope you enjoyed it! Just a quick reminder that I will start school soon (4 days for me, oh my gosh!) so I may not publish posts that frequently. And when I do, it may be shortly written. Also, I've been thinking about starting an "Empties" series here on the blog. I've seen beauty gurus do them and it really interested me so I'm going to gradually start publishing posts on the products that I've used up and tell you what I thought of them. One particular beauty guru that does these videos and that I like to watch is essiebutton. She has a lot of these kinds of videos and she frequently does these. So yeah, if you wanna check her videos out, make sure to do so because she is awesome and I love her sense of humour and her videos are well done. Here is a link if you want! 



Sooooo, I will hang with you guys later! See ya!
Keep Smiling,
M-L
