July Favorites// Mini Haul and Update

I feel like it has been forever since I have written a post, I usually queue my posts a few weeks before to maintain a nice schedule of posts since my work schedule is a little unpredictable. I'm currently sitting in my living room watching MTV's 'The Hills' marathon, this isn't a show I ever got into. I think I was a bit young when it originally aired, but I like having background noise as I work on other things.

One thing I want to announce is that I am now a Barklyn Grace brand ambassador, they are a "pup-branded" apparel company that donates a portion of their proceeds to animal rescues and shelters. Their dog themed products are adorable, and you guys already know from my promo page that I love repping companies with a cause.

Here's a picture of my first purchase from Barklyn Grace, I love the size of this water bottle. I need to focus on drinking more water and I think it'll be easier now that I can take 32oz of it with me at a time! It's on sale currently, but you can use the code 'LUXEBLOG20' for 20% of any of the items on their site.

Staying hydrated on this hot August day. I'm now a @barklyngrace ambasador! Use code 'LUXEBLOG20' for 20% off and to support animal rescues and shelters. #dogsofinstagram #barklyngrace #waterbottle #hydration #water #dogs #puppies #puppiesofinstagram #pink #fitstagram #blogger #crueltyfree #crueltyfreebeauty #crueltyfreebeautyblogger

Another thing that I have been obsessed with is my Bando planner. I love having a well organized planner, especially with the fall semester right around the corner. I haven't had a bando planner before, but so far I really like the design.

Poppin is another one of my favorite stationary brand. I am really loving their metallic range. I purchased this copper portfolio, and I plan on getting the matching business card case and maybe a few other pieces.

Back to beauty! I purchased a few new things, and an old favorite recently at +Lush Cosmetics.

I am really excited to try the Needles and Pines Shower Jelly, back when I worked at Lush I loved the scent of this. However, it was a limited release but it seems to be back! I tried the snowman shower jelly in the past, and it was a lot of fun to use. I found that it fell apart quickly, but I learned you can pop them in the freezer and it will last longer.

A favorite I go back to time and time again is Lush's Tea Tree Toner Water. It's so refreshing, and I love using it after cleansing.

I also picked up a small bar of Outback Mate soap. It's a new soap for Lush. I haven't tried it out yet, but upon first impressions I love the scent! It has lemongrass and peppermint in it and is super uplifting! I am very excited to give it a try!
