Due to the fact that I took a break from blogging and social media last month, I never got around to posting my June Fairyloot unboxing. Because it's been so long and I'm sure no one will be waiting for this box, I don't feel that I need to put a spoiler warning on my unboxing.
Here is an overview of the June boxes content. It had a very nice colour pallet and made me happy that everything went together.
The theme for Junes box was Elementalists and as always Fairyloot have these amazing graphic cards.
The first item was a candle from Witchwood Remedies. There were five Stormheart candles and they were based on the storms in the book. They're all exclusive to this months box.
I got Twister and I have to say that this is my least favourite candle I've received from Fairyloot. There's a pepper scent in and I really don't like pepper. If I can find someone who likes it, I'll give it to them, but it is very pretty with all the things sprinkled on it.
Next there was this Avatar: The Last Airbender lip balm from Geeky Clean. This is exclusive to Fairyloot. I got Water Bender, which I think smells of Vanilla. I am interested to see what the other elements smell like.
Fairyloot hasn't included any jewelry for a while and in June we got this exclusive Hamsa Hand bracelet from In The Moment. I'm not the biggest jewelry person, so again this will probably be a item I give to someone.
Receiving bath products does make me happy and then I remember I don't have a bath at my dad's house and it will be months before I can properly use it. This Clairvoyance Soap was made exclusively by Ascent Bath and Body. It smells really nice and fresh.
These cute potion bottle sticky notes were made by Fairyloot and are exclusive to this box. They each have a different meaning. Purple is for health, blue is for magic and yellow is for stamina. I'm going to have to find a way of using these, probably in my school work to spice it up a bit.
The final item before the book is probably my favourite item and that is this Stephen King inspired exclusive pillow case from Miss Phi. It says "Books are a uniquely portable magic". I love the design and how it's not linked to a specific fandom. I need to get pillow fillers for my 3 bookish pillows and display them because they are beautiful.
The book was Roar by Cora Carmack. As always it came with a letter and a signed bookplate. I don't know much about it, but I am looking forward to reading it in the near future.
As always, Fairyloot included Fairyscoop, the matching bookmark and reading buddy service. In all truthfulness, I've given up trying to find mine each month as I never find them.
There was a promo postcard for Fireblood by Elly Blake, which comes out later this year.
I do love receiving samplers in subscription boxes and in this months box we received The Waking Lands by Callie Bates.
Overall, this was my least favourite Fairyloot box I've received and this month (August) is the last box I will recieve for a while as I'm stopping my subscription. I've had 11 boxes and the excitement has worn off. I still love Fairyloot and will continue to support it, but I need to save my pennies.

June Favourites 2017| CarenzaOnBooks
Another month over means another favourites post. June went so unbelievably fast that I don't know if the favourites I have for this month (June) are actually for June.
Another TV show that returned was Poldark. I love Poldark so much and I'm so happy to be back in this world. I'm pretty sure it's already been commissioned for a fourth series, which would take them up to book 8. I love the music, the cinematography, the actors and the plots. It makes me very happy when Sunday's roll around and I get a new episode.
I began re-watching the Legend of Korra for what must be the fourth time since 2014. I love this show so much and it makes me happy every time I watch it. The episodes are only 20 minutes long, which means you can get through quite a few at a time. I need to get it on box set, but for now I am very happy watching it on Prime.
I'm very excited for what July brings at I have a few trips planned as well as it being Camp NaNoWriMo and Game of Thrones coming back. It also means that next month is my birthday month, which I am a bit too excited for.

Books
My favourite book for June is obviously Lord of Shadows by Cassandra Clare. My review is still in the making (I know I've said that in the last few posts, but it is taking me a while to write it). I have Lord of Shadows 5/5 stars. I can't believe that we have to wait till 2019 for the next book. Also, can we appreciate how gorgeous this Waterstones exclusive edition is? Cassie has been blessed by the cover gods.Culture
I have quite a few TV show favourites for June. The first being Versailles series 2. I wasn't the biggest fan of series 1, but I loved series 2 so much and am very excited for series 3. If you interested in learning about the building of the Palace of Versailles as well as the King who built it, then you will love this. It brings back all the memories of my trip to Versailles in 2011 and I would love to go again.Another TV show that returned was Poldark.

Bits'n'Bobs
I'm not sure if I got any new bits'n'bobs in June, but I did reorganise my candle shelf in my bedroom which made me very happy. They had been very cluttered, but now they look beautiful. I probably have more candles than I need, but they make great props for Bookstagram photos and they smell great.I'm very excited for what July brings at I have a few trips planned as well as it being Camp NaNoWriMo and Game of Thrones coming back.
