January Favorites
/
I have a bunch of January favorites that I’ve been using consistently this month and I just want to share this with you guys so you can get an idea of the headspace I’m in. Starting off the new year, I wanted to focus on self-care. Mentally, 2020 was so draining and I was feeling so much anxiety over things I can’t control, so why not focus my energy in 2021 on things I do have control over like my mind, body, and soul.
This isn’t in any specific order but here we go:
Faux fur coats
In 2019, I bought a bunch of coats from Zara and I didn’t really get a chance to wear them. Not only fur coats, but neutral and beige color vibes. I love neutral outfits mainly because it’s just so simple and timeless. Also, they were priced well at $69.90 or $89.90 so why not get good quality for less.
Body scrubs
I’ve really been into body scrubs lately. Using liquid body washes or bar soaps are great, but a good scrub to wash off all the dead skin on your body is really refreshing. I normally buy mine at Target. I vary in the brands I buy depending on what is available. I either go with Dr. Teal’s salt scrubs or Tree Hut sugar scrubs.
Satin/silk
I use a satin pillow when I go to sleep since it’s better for curly hair, so I also started using silk hair scrunchies when I can. I bought mine at Ulta Beauty. It creates less tension in your hair and you have less breakage.
Candles
Smell good products are the best to just set the mood right. I light candles if not every day, then definitely every other day. I love a clean space so lighting a candle in my room just sets the tone for positive vibes.
Sneakers
Recently, I’ve been into comfortable footwear. I used to always feel like when I go out I can only wear heels or boots, but sneakers have definitely changed the game for a fashionable outfit that still meets great comfort. Adam put me on majority of my sneakers. He bought me the Yeezy 700 “Analog” sneaker that I wanted so bad for Christmas. I love them so much. They are cute and comfortable.
Skincare
One of my favorite Christmas gifts was the Kylie Skincare Set that Myoshi bought me. I’ve been breaking out recently and I changed my diet a bit to lessen the amount of dairy products I consume. That did help my skin a little bit, but getting back into a full skincare routine really has changed the game for me. Toners, serums, and eye creams are products I don’t purchase frequently so I was excited to finally have a set of go-to products that my skin reacts well to.
Oil diffusers
I love my oil diffuser so much. My sister bought it for me in the secret santa gift exchange. Mine isn’t the same one in the picture, but it’s cute in size and gets the job done. It came with a set of essential oils. My favorite oil scents so far are lavender, eucalyptus and peppermint. These scents are really calming when I sleep.
Vitamins
Hair, skin, and nails gummies are my go to when it comes to vitamins. I’ve purchased these from GNC, but you can find them at Walmart, Target, Shoprite, etc.
Jade rollers
This is my first time trying out jade rollers and I’m already a fan. They feel amazing on your skin if you put it in the fridge for like 5-10 minutes. I use mine after I wash my face, tone, and use a serum. It helps wake me up and takes away some of the puffiness in my skin. Shoutout to Sonja for buying me this for Christmas.
Pajamas
I know most people wear t-shirts and shorts or sweatpants to bed, but buying a pajama set really makes a huge difference after a late night shower. You just feel extra clean. I recently bought black silk matching pajamas with Adam for my brother’s Christmas Pajama Party. When I wear them to sleep, I just feel extra fancy.
