Hi everyone so it's the last Friday of the month so time to share with you my likes and loves for May. First of all how is everyone? I'm definitely finding lockdown more of a struggle recently and the easing of some of the rules is making me feel a bit better though.
Blake's been back at school 3 days a week which helps as he wants to be around other children and also loves being able to play outside.
Anyway on to my likes and loves for May.
Any items that are gifted to me for a possible mention within this feature will be clearly marked with a *
Sonic the hedgehog movie
The sonic movie has had an early digital download release so I just had to purchase it. The 3 of us sat down and watched it together at the beginning of the month and it was brilliant. Definitely will watch it again pretty soon.
Never have I ever
I pretty much raced through the episodes of this one. I found it to be easy to watch and wasn't something you have to concentrate too much on to know what's happening.
Modern Love
I spotted this whilst browsing prime tv. Each episode has a different story and characters it's a romantic comedy and episodes are just over 30 min long each.
Normal People
I've yet to finish the series but I've been enjoying it. It is actually based on the book also titled Normal People by Sally Rooney, although I've not yet read the book my self.
If you want to see it you can find it on BBC Iplayer and there are 12 episodes that are about 30 minutes long.
Weighted blanket
Blake is very sensory and we find that he gets frustrated easily. After seeing on some SEN pages about weighted blankets I researched which one to get and found that they can be very pricey. This one was the cheapest I could find which was just under £40 with postage included. It's been a lifesaver and Blake now asks for blanket time each day when things get too much for him. He's always wanting it for bed and have found since using it then he isn't getting out of bed as often.
Quote sign
I'm in a gifting group on Facebook and one of the items I've been sent was this fab little quote sign.
*Bracelets from Julia's Healing Jewels
I absolutely love these Rose Quartz and Rose Quartz, Amethyst and Lepidolite bracelets. You can read my review about them here.
Orchids
My in laws sent me a beautiful pot of orchids this month. So far we've managed to keep them alive.
Duck Planter
Whilst I was in Aldi shopping for essentials I spotted this duck planter. I had to get it as it was the last one left. I've even named him Rafferty.
Original Source Sweet Rhubarb and Raspberry shower gel.
I needed a new shower gel and spotted this on amazon for £1 so decided to see what its like. I like the sweet scent, the only downside is that it doesn't last long.
Kit Kat Cookies and Cream
Another amazon purchase I spotted these and thought I'd give them a try. They come in a pack 16 with 2 bars in each for £2 which isn't that bad. They really are good and I'm close to saying they are my new favourite chocolate.
Fibre one Birthday Cake Squares
We love these. Blake probably more so as he keeps asking for them.
*Notebook from Executive pens
I absolutely love this design of the dream catcher. You can definitely tell it's a high quality notebook. I'm currently using mine as a diary. I love that it has a back pocket and 24 tare off pages at the back. The elastic closure is handy too.
Guardian angel keyring
This beautiful guardian angel keyring is laser etched in crystal and so pretty.
