As per (new) tradition, since my blog is still fairly new, I wanted to share my January favorites with you.
Every week I try to set aside at least one night (sometimes I need two, last semester was stressful) to relax and unwind.
This past week I tried a Hask, or hair mask. I tried the coconut oil one and I was very impressed! My hair has never felt softer, and my ends look amazing! I ended up using the whole packet in one use. I figured since my hair is thick and my ends are a bit damaged that that would be wise, however, I could've probably gotten two uses out of one sachet. I feel as if this might be the reason I have had less fallout in the past week.
For Christmas I received a WoodWick candle (linked below) and I absolutely loved the scent, the wick sounds like a fireplace so it only added to the relaxing atmosphere.
Another favorite of mine and something I think is essential for any college student, especially in the northeast is fleece lined leggings. I wear these almost everyday in the winter, they are so much warmer than regular leggings and I even think they're warmer than my jeans.
As soon as I get home from class I try to take my makeup off, finding makeup removing wipes that are cruelty free was a little challenging, I read quite a few packets before settling on Dickinson's witch hazel wipes. My skin feels so much better once I get my foundation off and the witch hazel is really great for my pores.
Another favorite of mine is NATU shampoo and conditioner, I bought a trial pack during my last trip to Target and I will definitely be back for more! My hair has never felt so light and nourished. Having thick and long hair, its kind of annoying to take care of but NATU has made my hair feel amazing and I almost enjoy shampooing now. I never thought I would say that, especially in the winter.
A bit of my favorite haircare |
My favorite chapstick at the moment is from Burt's Bees, which keep in mind- is a cruelty free company, but their parent company is Clorox which I don't believe is cruelty free. The ultra conditioning formula does just what it promises and I've had this in my coat pocket all month.
My last favorite for the month of January is my coloring book, I'll admit I haven't had as much time as I would have liked to sit down and utilize it. However I know I'll have this beautiful book for a long time. The particular version I have is inspired by wallpaper patterns and is very symmetrical. I might even consider using a few pages as wall art.
Last but not least |
I love Burts Bees! In the fall, they release a Pumpkin Spice flavor at Target, and I treat it like it's "my precious"!

Ahh! I'll be on the lookout for that next fall!
DeleteI would love to try the WoodWick candle. It sounds like it would be really soothing after a long day!

Can you miss a candle? Cause I definitely do, I highly recommend WoodWick. I sound like a grandma but I would sign in to Netflix, light my candle and do a bit of knitting and it was so relaxing!
