My January Favorites

A popular January trend has been a “no-spend” January. However, I think I did the exact opposite of that. With that being said, I have compiled a categorized master list of my favorite January products that I have been loving this past month. As we move into the next month, these are my top products that I will definitely be taking with me into February.
Beauty Products
Tower 28 Daily Rescue Facial Spray
My favorite morning product that leaves my face hydrated and glowy, especially since I don’t wear makeup during the week.
Tulia Glow and Get It Brightening Eye Balm
Another product I've been using in the mornings, it really brightens up my under eyes and makes me look more awake.
Bumble and Bumble Post Workout Shampoo
During the week I normally go to a Corepower class everyday. If you don’t know what Corepower is (I had no idea until I moved to Texas for college), it is basically a heated yoga sculpt class with weights, meaning you tend to sweat a lot during the class. This product has been saving my hair from having to be washed everyday, and is better than any dry shampoo I’ve ever tried.
Trader Joe’s Cleansing Pads
Some of my friends have used these for years, and I can’t believe I only started using them this month. If you think your face is already clean after washing, use one of these then tell me otherwise. Not to mention they smell so good.
Rare Beauty Contour Stick
I decided it was time to invest in a good cream contour, after literally using a dark colored concealer for over a year. I have been loving this one. The application is so smooth and blends into my face so well.
Benetint
I use this on my cheeks and it leaves me with the most natural “sunkissed” look, even in the depths of winter.
Fashion
Statement Necklaces
I have never been a big jewelry wearer, but after coming across necklaces like this I have been obsessed. They are the perfect way to add a pop to any basic outfit.
Vuori
I just started wearing Vuori, and I’ll be honest I think I can say I like it better than Lulu. I find the leggings are comfier and fit better too.
Lake Pajamas
I have always loved pajama sets, but I would say these are my favorite brand of them by far. The material feels somewhat like roller rabbit’s, but lighter and better to sleep in. The patterns are also just so cute.
Food and Drink
Caesar Salad
I know these are not a new thing whatsoever, but for some reason these have been my hyperfixation food this month. I’m not too sure why, I guess it’s just the way my taste buds work!
Peppermint Tea
I used to be a big tea drinker but fell out of the phase a bit. I now have started drinking peppermint tea before bed every night, and I have definitely been feeling the benefits. I have an easier time falling asleep and my digestive system has felt much better.
Coconut Cult
After seeing this all over Tik Tok, I was finally convinced. Yes, it does taste amazing, and it does make me excited to wake up in the morning. I have also been feeling better gut-health wise, which is coming from a girl who has had severe gut health issues for years.
Long Drinks
Although not yet too popular, these have become my new favorite canned alcohol drink. They are so much better than seltzers in my opinion, and yes there is a big difference. They also have a bit of a higher alcohol percentage. My personal favorite flavor is the cranberry (pink) one, but I have tried them all and love them.
Toasted Graham Keurig Pods
Now this is kind of random, but my family is obsessed with these for some reason. Especially with it being winter, I have been loving hot coffee. Toasted graham from Starbucks are hands down the best Keurig pods. I haven’t been able to find them in Texas so my mom has literally been shipping me boxes of them from home.
Books and Shows
Malibu Rising
I had been seeing this book for a while and finally decided to read it, and I absolutely loved it. I finished it faster than I finish most books, the storyline and how it is written is just so intriguing. I also just found out that Taylor Jenkins Reid connects her characters throughout her different books, and I love when authors do that, so I will definitely be reading more of her books in the future.
90210
Now not the original version, but the 2008 version. I actually watched this show all fall, and now just watch it for fun as it became my comfort show. I highly recommend it and every season is available on Amazon Prime.
