Good Morning Lovelies,

Does anyone else feel like March disappeared in the blink of an eye? How on earth are we honestly nearly in the fourth month of the year already?!? I feel like 2023 is zooming ahead and it will be Christmas before we know it. It’s quite scary really! 

However, before I fall down a rabbit hole of decorating the house with festive fancies, I wanted to share my favourite things from March 2023. It was quite an interesting one…

My Favourite Book: Magazines - In March, I found myself focusing more on magazines than books. At first I felt guilty about it, but then realised that as long as I am reading than it is good. I’ve read all sorts of themed magazines, but some of my favourites are Women’s Heath, The Simple Things and BBC Easy Food.

My Favourite TV Show/Film: Gogglebox - Every Friday night, me and my mum now snuggle up and get cosy watching this show, which makes it extra special for me. It was one of my goals this year to do this with my mum and we have now got stuck in. Gogglebox is also a legendary show in our house. 

My Favourite Food Find: Cauliflower Bakes: About a year or so ago, I used to have a lot of bake in a bag cauliflowers, but then I stopped and got scared of them. Continuing the theme of having meals with my mum, she managed to help me conquer my fear and we had one together. The spices in the bag blew my head off aha, but I was proud of myself for doing it. 

My Favourite Beauty Item: Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Swivel Stick - After being sent this stick by a lovely PR company, I got stuck into using it to save my sore lips and face. It has changed the game. I don’t need it every night, which is when I apply it, because it works so quickly. Something I am really happy about because it means that it is going to last for ages. A new beauty hero of mine! 

My Favourite Podcast: The Phonebox Podcast with Emma Conway - Many of you will now that I love nostalgic things. I am a 90s child and when I see things from that decade and the 00s I can’t help but fall in love with them again. This podcast is a trip down memory lane for me. I spend hours afterwards looking up the iconic discussions and Emma is a hero of mine as well. Listen to this show and then follow her on YouTube at BrummyMummyof2 for more goodness. 

My Favourite Experience: The Little Things - Due to March moving on so quickly, I didn’t feel like we did much. However, it was a month in which we planned for the future. We chose a show to see at Christmas, discussed birthday plans and looked ahead for what we want to achieve this year. I also saw sweet moments between strangers that made my heart soar. March may be over but it was kind of lovely. 

What were your favourite things about or during March?
