Hey guys! Welcome back to the channel
Since it's nearing the end of the year
I thought there's no better time to do a favourites video than now
This video is going to cover a bunch of my favourite things of 2018 - from fashion, beauty to tech and podcasts
We'll get into the video, but if you're not subscribed please hit that subscribe button!
So first up, is this amazing Moroccan hair oil
Thanks to my sister - she got this for me
So I recently coloured my hair maybe 4 or 5 months ago and I recently moved to a tropical country
and so this moroccan hair oil has been like a lifesaver
it's really like taken care of my hair really well
and you only really need a small amount for your hair
I only just pump like maybe 1 - 1 and a half ish pumps and just kind of run it through my hair
It's very light and also helps your hair dry faster
and I love the smell of this Moroccan hair oil as well
My second favourite thing - the silk cream Tatcha face cream
If you have watched my favourites video, you would know that I love the AESOP moisturising face cream especially for colder climates
'cause it's really really moisturising and it just feels amazing
it's aromatherapy - go watch that video
But now that I've moved to a tropical country, this Tatcha face cream has just been amazing
So it comes with this little applicator and you only need like one little scoop of it for your entire face
So a little goes a long way with the Tatcha silk cream
The thing that I really like about it is that the formula is very silky and soft - your skin just absorbs it so quickly
it keeps your face moisturised without making it too oily or too overburdened
especially in warmer climates you kind of don't want to wear or to like put anything on at all
the other new thing that I've been loving at the moment is
AESOP's deodorant - so this is the Aesop sage leaf deodarant
it's got that classic AESOP aromatherapy - I love AESOP honestly
And this is really great for warmer climates as well I think - it's very light and refreshing
Next on top fashion favourites
Since I've moved to a tropical country I've added a couple more swim pieces to my collection
And right now I am loving this swimsuit
It's really flattering
It's got a really nice back as well
And once you wear it, you've kind of got this really nice side and this part in the middle
is also very flattering
uhm it's a bit high cut so there's that but it makes you look your legs look like you've got legs for days
so anyway I love this swimsuit it's also very comfy and you don't feel like bits and bobs are falling off
like sometiems you're wearing a bikini and sometimes you things bits are gonna fall off but no
not this one, this is great
I actually got this one from aliexpress - I'll link it down below if anyone wants to find where I got this from
the next fashion favourite is kind of like a timeless thing and I'm really glad I now have these items in my wardrobe
first up is this pair of really gorgeous earrings that I got from my friends as a leaving present
so it's uhm the Karen Walker pieces - it's really great for all occasions uhm what I find about these particular earrings is that it kind of looks glam enough
but then kind of subtle and casual enough to kind of rock everyday
so i love this i've been wearing it to work, to brunches, I've been wearing it swimming even
like I wear it everywhere all the time
and I love the fact that it's silver so that it doesn't tarnish or anything like that
and it's just so comfortable so uhm it's one of those ones where you thread into your ear and you're not going to feel like URGH I'm threading something through my ear
these just actually kind of sides through and it's very easy to wear
the next favourite is another earrings favourite
I got these from Marco actually - it's from Meadowlark and I love it because
the design is based on corals
they go with anything and everything
both for like formal occasions and more casual occasions as well
As you know I went to Singapore earlier this year and I bought these Charles & Keith shoes
and ... I love Charles & Keith because Ithink they're very practical and like not too expensive
and also
It's very fashionable still so I've been loving my nude loafers and they're really nice - so comfortable
they go with anything
so these are the Raybans - I love the case as well
the case is great
these are just your classic aviators and they're fully black
and uhm I think they go with anything and everything
which is the point of a timeless sunglasses
so I'm really happy with theses - there's not much to say about it because they are a classic for a reason
sorry about the lighting guys, the sun has just hidden behind the clouds
but my next favourite is this amazing hat
and I love it because first of all it's wide brimmed and it's like this amazing kind of straw hat colour
the other thing I really like about this hat is the draw strings that it has inside to kind of make it tighter
so that it's not going to fall off your head
The next favourite things are kind of in the tech slash podcasts category
So... ooh I'm really excited to talk about this
I am loving these little guys
yes, that's right I'm one of those people who owns one of these things uhm I got these airpods from Marco for my birthday last year
and since then I could not live without these
I thought they were really dumb at first.. but
they're actually really great - like they're so handy, so efficient
it's great because first of all there are no wires, it automatically stops music when you take one side of it out
and you can double tap for calls, tap to change music
the only thing that I am not 100% on is its ability to stay in your ears while you're running
but otherwise for like day to day kind of use - just listening to your music, making calls and things like that - these are great
it looks really silly but it's this iphone case holder
it's a really big iphone case holder
but what I have really loved it for is not really for it to hold my iphone while I'm running or anything like that but
it's the fact that - so you can put this around your waist, obviously
and it's really great for travelling actually
because you can have this and have all your passports in one place you know your money
your phone
your airpods even, like it just holds so much
and it makes your feel so secure when you're travelling
my next favourite is the iphone tripod
I love this manfrotto tripod
it's not just great just because I film stuff
it's also great because like you can watch your netflix shows on there and I skype my parents quite often and I put them on this tripod
so that I don't have to like carry around this hunk of a junk of a phone around
This year I've discovered this podcast called the life coach school
from Amy Lee's youtube video
If you don't already follow her, you should, she's really great
it's called the life coach school
A bit of self help and also kind of like genuine chat
in very short spurts of 15 -20 -30 minutes
makes you think a little bit about yourself and your mindset and introspect a lot more
and I really like it for that
if you're looking for more podcasts to listen to then head on over to my "Top podcasts to listen to for 2018"
I'll leave that in the description box down below for you
The other podcast that I've found very impactful this year is this one on sleep from Joe Rogan's extreme experience podcast
So i'll leave that also in the description down below
This podcast really lays it out for you as to why it's so important and he's a sleep expert so he talks about his research and things like that
The other two things that I'd like to give a shout out to are these kind of organiser type apps
Earlier this year I kind of was going through a late quarter life crisis kind of thing where I wasn't sure what I was really doing
And uhm I didn't really have a clear direction
And once I kind of realised that well I just need to do something about my situation
I found the Google Calendar really helpful in terms of organising my days so that I could figure out what I really wanted to do with my life or where I was really going
and what I was doing with my time
it's also helped me realise that I don't have that much time in the day to actually do a million things
and so it's kind of helped me realised that yeaaa gurl you need to like cut back a little bit and not do a million things at a time
so it's really helped me figure out what it is that I should be prioritising and then prioritising that
the other thing that's really helped me is this app called the Wunderlist
the wunderlist is really useful because not only does it link between like your desktop app and also your phone app
uhm you can also share some of the lists so me and marco share like a grocery list
and I found that this app really helps me in terms of like my bigger lists and things that I'm not doing today
but I need to keep at the back of my mind so that I don't completely forget about it
