Summer is my favourite time of year! On a bright sunny day, I love nothing more than to be outdoors, pottering around the garden, out and about in the countryside, or better still, walking along the beach as the pupsters dig in the sand or paddle in the surf! It was a gorgeous warm day when I decided it was time to film my Summers Favourites video, so naturally, I filmed it outdoors.
Watch the video to find out what products I have been loving in the summer months. Included in this video are products from a variety of categories: Health and Beauty, Kitchenware, Planners, Household Cleaning, Gardening… and Tim shares 3 of his recent favourite board games too!
Read on to find links to our favourite products. And if you would like to see what made it on my list of March favourites, you can find out here.
