Good afternoon! Here we are already, the last few days of January, which also means the first favourites blog post of the year! I've been enjoying quite a range of things this month, like clothes, skincare and books. I thought I would share them with you so you could try them out, as everything I mention is definitely worth picking up in my opinion!
I'll begin with everything in the clothing category. I picked up this jumper from New Look for £5.99! I had been given a gift card for Christmas so I checked out the sale items online so I could make the most of it. I didn't expect much from this jumper given the price, however when it arrived I was pleasantly surprised! It's a cropped style, the sleeves are wide, and it's a gorgeous nude colour. I've also been loving these Jamie jeans from Topshop which were £45. I am a huge fan of Topshop jeans (minus the price), but these made me fall in love with them all over again! I'm not sure what it is, they are just so flattering! Lastly I thought I would mention my Doc Martens which were £100 from Schuh. Admittedly, they are well loved and covered in mud. I think a quality pair of boots like these are an essential for this time of year, because they are perfect for January weather!
Next up I'll talk about the products in the skincare/haircare category. I've been obsessed with these Nicky Clarke straighteners, which I picked up from Boots at the reduced price of £39.99 (previously they were around the £80 mark). As someone who uses heat on their hair everyday, these were a total game changer for me. They leave the hair smooth, and there is different settings for different hair types which I think is a great idea! The second product in this category is this St Ives face scrub that I got from Superdrug for £3.99. I was shopping with a friend and in need of a new face wash when she recommended this to me. I find it really satisfying to use, you can literally feel it removing old skin and afterwards your skin is left silky smooth!
Onto the final category, reading. I am in love with poetry; two poetry books I have been enjoying this month are Milk and Honey by Rupi Kaur and Love and Space Dust by David Jones (£6.99 from Amazon). For me, poetry is the ultimate expression of emotion, and these books definitely fit into that idea. Milk and Honey is the better known of the two, but I had been following David’s social media for a while and knew I would love this book of his! Milk and Honey had me in tears, it is such a life changing book which I brought for £7.99 of Amazon. I have also been loving Bloom by Estee Lalonde, which I purchased from Amazon for £12.99. It is so easy to dip in and out off, it truly is the most beautiful book, both in its words and appearance. I love Estee’s YouTube so I knew I had to pick up this book when I heard about it, and it most certainly did not disappoint!
There we go, that's a roundup of everything I've been loving this month! I hope you enjoyed reading this, be sure to let me know what you've been enjoying throughout January.
