Weekend reading: Links from around the web

Hello, everyone! Welcome to another installment of weekend reading 🙂

This recipe for banana bread is really, really good. I came across it last week and made a loaf on Thursday night. It went down so well that there’s now no trace of it left in the house. I like that there’s no sugar or butter, and you can easily throw in blueberries, or chocolate chips (like I did) to mix it up.

These shoes are becoming a little bit of an issue for me. I keep seeing them everywhere and they’ve been sitting in my wishlist on NET-A-PORTER for months now. I’ve noticed they’re slowly selling out as certain sizes are out of stock, so they’ll be gone bye-bye pretty soon. To purchase or not to purchase? That is the question 😉

Back to food. This ice-cream is currently ruining my healthy eating plans. It’s not even that unhealthy, I just can’t seem to stop myself once I pop the lid off. Nobó is an Irish brand (yay!) and all their ice creams are dairy, gluten and sugar-free. If you live in Dubai, you can find them (intermittently, mind) in Spinneys and Waitrose. They’re about AED70 a tub (not cheap) and I can vouch for pretty much all the flavours…

Next up is Jacey’s blog. She is a total style queen who I have followed for years, and I want pretty much everything she puts on her blog. She has also filmed a really cute series for her YouTube channel called Home Sweet Damsel which documents the total renovation of her house in the U.S., including a jaw-dropping peek into her wardrobe in Episode 6. Serious wardrobe goals, you guys.

Lastly, a bit of TV chat. I am currently unavailable on Wednesday nights due to new episodes of The Great British Bake Off and Our Girl. The former is an obvious one – who doesn’t love GBBO? The latter, however, is new and stars Michelle Keegan. I cringed through most of the first episode, loved the second and only cringed a little bit during the third. I can’t stop watching it because of Elvis, and Mich is rocking the best fake tan job I’ve ever seen. Both programs are on BBC, back-to-back, every Tuesday and magically appear on my catch-up box on Wednesday evening. Yay 🙂

That’s all for now, thank you for dropping in. I hope you enjoyed my weekend reading 🙂

Their new Dynamic Skin Retinol is an exciting launch as it’s suitable for entry-level users (using once a week) and experienced users (using several times a week). 

It contains a 3.5% retinoid complex, concentrated squalane and beta-glucan (an oat-derived humectant), so it’s powerful but hydrating and soothing at the same time 👏🏻 

They brought us to @westburydublin to celebrate the launch with the wonderful @louise_dermalogica (she’s patiently answered every nerdy skincare question I’ve ever put to her 😂) and honestly, I can’t believe it’s already over - so here’s a post to help me go back there for a moment.

@beautyofjoseon_official Relief Sun SPF50. It’s made with 30% rice extract so it’s super gentle and particularly great for sensitive skin. 

It’s lightweight, hydrating, not sticky and leaves no white cast on the skin (and it’s amazing under makeup). 

If you’re looking for a new sunscreen, try this. It’s absolutely brilliant 🙌🏻
