Welcome to this week’s roundup of three things I’ve been enjoying!
📕 A Lady’s Guide to Scandal* - Sophie Irwin. (*ad - Amazon affiliate link) Confession: I own this in hardback (I might even have pre-ordered it!). But it took getting a digital copy from the library to read while travelling earlier this month for me to dig in. But, of course, I loved it. A proper ‘Regency romp’ with believable characters and really, really fun. Highly recommend to read in what’s left of the summer sunshine.
🏕️ Camp Wildfire. I spent last weekend in my happy place, kakaaw-ing like a hawk, learning to shoot (with both a gun and a bow and arrow), to do proper orienteering navigation, make rope, and draw with fire, and then partying my socks off at night. Next year will be the 10th anniversary (and my own sixth trip into the Intrepid Forest), and I can’t wait! I’ll do a longer Sunday post all about my favourite camping and outdoors gear, just in time for the end-of-season sales.
🧴 Aussie ‘Bouncy Curls’ Conditioner. I don’t follow a strict ‘curly girl’ method for haircare, but I do like to use a conditioner designed for curls to help get as much of my hair’s natural wave on show as possible. This is simple and feels really nourishing - and without being overly fragranced, the coconut (not normally a scent I like) and macadamia oil in there mean that multiple people have complimented me on how my hair smells.
Noticed something a bit different? For the next couple of months I’m trying out separating my weekly recommendations out from the ‘thinkier’ piece that goes along with them. Let’s see how it goes - I’d love to hear any thoughts.
