October is by far my favourite month! I love Halloween, the leaves changing, days getting shorter its just great. So, I decided to write a post on some things I've been loving this month.
For those of you not familiar with the wonder that is Whole Foods, it is basically an organic super market chain with shops in US, UK & Canada and it's pretty great.
They sell everything from Fiji water to Angel Cake and have great freshly made products for a reasonable price.
Some Whole Foods stores also have a food hall, which normally has really good sushi and smoothies!
So check if there is a Whole Foods near you and take a trip, you won't regret it!
2. Rose Jaffe
Rose Jaffe is an illustrator based in Washington DC. I cannot explain to you how much I love all her work, especially her sketches & mono prints.
Rose has really great ideas and works with many different medias, which I think is really great.
Even if you aren't that keen on art just spend 5 minutes looking at her portfolio (above) and hopefully you'll like her work as much as I do.
3. BLODWEN - Mamgu's Wild Rose Aromatic Water
Blodwen is a welsh company, with the aim to preserve & revive the traditional rural skills from Wales, the result being a great shop selling beautiful products. One of my favourites being the 'Wild Rose Aromatic Water'.
This water has calming and uplifting qualities which are great if you are feeling stressed or need something to relax your skin. It also has anti-inflammatory properties which preserve the skin.
This item is slightly pricey, but lasts for quite a while and is very easy to apply.
So go try the Rose Water if you'd like, maybe even check out Blodwen while you're at it!
4. Urban Outfitters - Urban Renewal
'Urban Renewal' is a branch of the store Urban Outfitters. Urban Outfitters is essentially a 'bits & bobs' store with shops in the UK, Europe, US and Canada. It sells almost everything, including great clothes, jewellery, novelty gifts and records.
This month, I have been particularly loving 'Urban Renewal'. Urban Renewal specializes in finding great vintage clothing, whether the come from warehouses or flea markets, Urban Renewal literally has some of the most unique pieces of clothing I've seen.
Recently, I bought a plaid shirt from there and I have not stopped wearing it!
Have a look and see if you find any cool products.
5. Batiste Dry Shampoo - Floral & Fruity Blush
Batiste Dry Shampoo is in general just amazing, it instantly refreshes your hair, and is really good for using if you don't have time to have a proper wash. The shampoo also gives your hair a great shine and scent.
My favourite scent of all the shampoos is the 'Floral & Fruity Blush' it really does smell amazing and does wonders for my hair!
