And so we greet the mid-point of the year. Here are a few of the things that have been making me happy in the month of June!
Innoxa Classic Colour Lipsticks
When I bought these colours I was disappointed with how they dark they were. Then winter hit and I fell in love. While they aren't the longest wearing, the colours are gorgeous and perfect for this time of year. I have the shades Very Apricot (left) and Deep Strawberry.
Palmer's Cocoa Butter
I made a post not too long ago about hand creams and somehow forgot to mention my winter staple - Palmer's Cocoa Butter Formula. It's so thick and my skin just drinks it in this cold weather! If you find the smell off-putting (personally I love it!) they do have a fragrance free version.
Freezer Crockpot Meals
We throw out a horrible amount of veg. It gets forgotten in the fridge and I'm always left feeling guilty. I was looking for slow cooker recipes when I stumbled across this guide for Five Vegetarian Freezer Crockpot Meals in 50 Minutes. It took me personally three times that amount of time but so far it has been completely worth it! The meals are delicious and I just pop them in the slow cooker at around 10am and then forget about it until we're ready to eat.
I'm having a real jumper moment. Normally in winter I'm all about cardigans but this year I can't get enough of knit jumpers. I bought this one at Cotton On a couple of weeks ago and it's cosy, long enough (nobody wants to see my mid-riff!) and the colour is lovely- as are all the other options.
(Wooden Fox Brooch is from UponATree!)
Purple Skittle Nails
I haven't done all my nails a different colour since high school (though I am quite partial to a feature nail). Then I decided to search Pinterest for winter nails and a particular colour and stumbled across this and this aaand this and decided I have to give it a go. These are the colours I've been wearing!

Okay, hear me out! I'm not a huge Vegemite fan, there were actually a number of years where I refused to eat it. I might have the odd Vegemite sandwich. What I do like is caramel but in my advancing age the sugar is a bit much. Something about the combination of caramel and Vegemite is amazing - it's less sweet than caramel and not the bitter horror show that is normally Vegemite. I recommend letting it slowly melt on your tongue rather than going straight for it.
If you're not Australian, please watch this PSA from Hugh Jackman on how you're all trying Vegemite incorrectly.
Yarn Yoshi Amiibo
Is this not the cutest thing you have ever seen in your life? In conjunction with the release of Yoshi's Wooly World (I've said before, not calling it Yoshi's Yarn was a mistake), Nintendo have released a Yarn Yoshi Amiibo. I haven't bought the game yet - I definitely will, I just don't have time at the moment - but I couldn't resist this little guy. Especially since I'm sure they'll sell out very quickly!
Orange Is The New Black Season 3
Like most of the world, we occupied a chunk of our month (okay, four days) with season three of Orange Is The New Black. While I'm not on the Ruby Rose bandwagon with everybody else I definitely forgot how totally freaking amazing this show is. Oh, plus, TANK GIRL is back!
I was also going to mention some yarn I bought on Monday, but I've decided to save it until I've put it to use. Rest assured it is GORGEOUS and I am very excited to work with it.
