April Favourites

I have so many April faves to talk about, ahhhh! But I'll try not to ramble and talk about too much.


Reeses
I've tried Reeses before and not been a big fan, but for some strange reason I've had huge cravings for chocolate and peanut butter combos. It might seem a bit weird but I don't actually like peanut butter on it's own, I think it's weird and smells funny, but with chocolate it's like this glorious salty and sweet goodness that I can't get enough of! I've tried Reeses Pieces, Peanut Butter M&Ms, Peanut Butter Cups and Reese Wafer Bars. Damn they're so good, I've only gone and made my own Peanut Butter Cups! They're so easy to make, unfortunately I ate them all :) so I'll have to make more so that I can show you guys the recipe.

Starbucks Caramel Macchiato
Again, I never used to like coffee but just recently I've kind of weaned myself into liking it by starting off with different flavoured lattes, since lattes are a milky coffee it's a good way to get yourself to enjoy the coffee taste before over powering yourself with a full on strong coffee like Espresso. After trying the different Frappes from McDonald's and such, I've gotten into buying chilled coffee drinks and I've really enjoyed the Starbucks Caramel Macchiato, I found it in the petrol station at work but strangely they don't actually sell the caramel flavour in store. Big bummer.



Soap & Glory Body Sprays
I've always been a huge lover of Soap and Glory, especially their body butters and sprays. Just recently I've began to use my S&P body sprays much more than perfumes, I tend to reach for the sprays straight away before even thinking about my others. My favourite is the "Glam-A-Lot" body spray. I had a set of the 3 body sprays bought for me some time again which included that as well as "Mist you badly" and the "Girligo" moisturizing mist which I very rarely use. Unfortunately I'm running out, but it's good timing as S&P and bought out a range of new body mists that I'm definitely going to be trying!



H&M
H&M have really upped their game recently! I've always found really lovely items from there for the summer whenever I've looking for new clothes to take on holidays with me. I've found that they have so much choice depending on the style your looking for, they literally do everything to suit anyone and it is such good value for money. I've had some really pretty dresses from here in the past and H&M still aim to please me. Also another reason to get yourself to H&M, at the minute they're promoting recycling, by doing this they're asking customers to bring in as many bag fulls of old clothes or unwanted linen into their stores in exchange for a £5 off of a £30 purchase. This is a brilliant way to get rid of any unwanted clothing, towels, fabrics, materials, linen and textiles and receive something great back for helping reduce waste within the UK. It doesn't take much for me to spend £30 so it's definitely worth it and I'll be taking a few bags in.

Zumba Fitness
After trying everything to try and shift weight and getting bored in the gym I've started to go to Zumba classes with my Brother's Girlfriend. At first I wasn't sure if I'd enjoy it, being in a big group of people dancing and exercising made me a bit wary, but after a handful of sessions I'm beginning to love it and I'm starting to see the effects of incorporating dance fitness into my lifestyle along with dieting, it is a great way to keep fit as well as have fun. All the girls and women who attend these sessions are so lovely and encouraging. As well as Zumba I've been giving "Red Warrior" a go. Red Warrior is similar, however it is martial arts, karate, exercising and dance all mixed together. It is a much better workout compared to dancing in Zumba and you definitely feel it the next day.




Hope you've enjoyed reading my favourites of April!
