As you guys might know if you've been following me on various social media I have got very into fitness recently. I have been hitting the gym at least 5 times a week since February!

So I wanted to start getting into the whole supplement thing a bit, but it's such a huge market, where do you start??

So I decided a good way to test out products is a subscription box.

I noticed this company kept popping up on my Facebook so I decided to look into them, they're called Muscle Crate.

I did actually contact them regarding my gluten intolerance & they were very good about it saying they'd make a notice on my subscription. I have received one product, but really I'm not that fussed.

The box pictured below is April's box (sorry this blog post is a little late).

As you can see the box is FULL of supplement samples from capsules to pre workouts.

I honestly feel like if you're looking to just try a lot of different flavours & products is short period, this box is definitely the way forward. I also gave my boyfriend a few of the samples to try if there were duplicates. Sometimes there are but I see that as no bad thing, especially if you're like me & like to share it out a bit.

I have now used this whole box, but it did take me a month to do so! Which is ideal because by that time the next one is on it's way!

I would also like to note that the brands provided in the box are all good quality brands which I have heard of before. They really have put some hard work in to connecting & working with some of the best/ well known nutrition companies in the world.

It is still early days for the company, however I can definitely see this working.

So if you are just getting into fitness & want to try a few new things give this box a go.

You don't have to seriously commit either as they have a 1 month rolling contract available.

So here is how I make my own Refresha drinks.

You literally need four things to make them: a tumbler cup, flavoured tea, ice & fruit (preferably frozen).

1. Boil some water, enough to half fill your cup/ tumbler. Then add to your cup/ tumbler.

2. Half fill your cup/ tumbler with cold water.

3. Add tea bag, I like to use two to make for a stronger brew.

4. Add ice, plenty of ice!

5. Add fruit & let steep. Give a few stirs & then leave to cool.

6. Once cool, sip & enjoy!

It's been quite so time since I did a favourites on both my blog & youtube channel.

However May has been a great month, so why not!

I have a variety of different items from home to fitness clothing.

Benefit Dream Screen

I'm sure I've favourited this item before, however I do love it! It is the first facial sun cream I have ever found that isn't super oily, in fact it's oil free. This makes it perfect for everyday and perfect for underneath make up.

Soap & Glory Heel Genius

I'm not really one for feet, but we all like to have nice soft ones. This foot cream is super moisturising & has a really refreshing peppermint scent. It's seriously saved my feet this month!

NYX Intense Butter Gloss & Matte Lip Cream

These are my first NYX lip products & I have to say.. where have they been all my life?!?

I love the formula & scent of these. My overall favourite is the matte lip cream as I have been loving a matte lip recently. However I think they're both going to be in my make up bag permanently.

Oral B 3D White Brilliance Toothpaste

I've been wanting a whitening toothpaste that actually works for years & I think I've finally found it! You can actually see all the crap & discolouration in the sink when you use this toothpaste, which is reassuring. I have also noticed a visible difference in colour. It's nothing too dramatic but I can see that it's actually working.

Wood Wick Candle

You guys know me, I love a good candle. Recently I discovered wood wick candles, which are quite a simple yet amazing concept. Every candle has a wooden wick, which means it crackles whilst it burns. It is honestly the most relaxing sound ever! The candles also burn really evenly & are highly scented. The perfect candle really!

Gymversus Leggings

It's so hard to find good quality gym leggings, that don't go see-through, especially when you spend a lot of time squatting! However I have finally found some that are worth some hype. These leggings are by a company called Gymversus & they are just amazing quality, as well as really nice designs.

If you're serious about the gym I would definitely recommend them!

Thinking of starting vlogging?

Well look no further, here are a few of my vlogging essentials. This is more targeted at those wanting to produce travel/ daily style vlogs.

I would also like to state having a laptop or some kind of computer is always essential, but that's essential in life in general... right?

So onto the actual list:

Canon G7X

Obviously this is my camera of choice, there are a lot of similar cameras on the market, so have a look around & see which seems right for you. I love this camera as it's nice & lightweight. It also has a flip up screen which is perfect for vlogging, so you can exactly see yourself. This makes it a lot easier to frame your shots.

SD Card

This one really is necessary, as you can't use the camera without it! You should always have at least two SD cards to hand, as you never know how much footage you're going to get. So make sure you always have one in your camera (that's not full) & a spare.

Camera Battery

Another item you need to actually make your camera work. Obviously I know, but they're so easy to forget if you're charging them. Again the trick here is to have spares. I find the Canon G7X battery isn't that great, so I'd said if you buy this camera a spare is a must!

Gorilla Pod

These are a great bit of kit. It's basically a flexible tripod, which come with both a Go Pro & standard tripod thread. These are interchangeable too. I use this tripod constantly, as it's super handy & easier to adjust than a normal tripod. I also find it makes it more comfortable to hold my Canon camera if it's attached to this tripod.

Go Pro & Micro SD Card

I thought I'd put these two together as they work in conjunction with each other. Go Pro's aren't cheap so if you don't think you're going to filming anything too sporty or adventurous then don't waste your cash. However you can get some awesome & creative shots with a Go Pro which you wouldn't necessarily achieve which a normal camera. The model I own is the Hero3+ Black Edition.
