January Favorites!

It is here!! I haven't done a favorites post in WAY too long. Many of you said you would like to see one when I asked on my Fashion Friday post a week or two and I have to say this month I have quite a few things I am loving. I hope y'all enjoy reading about my favs this month and let me know what your favorites were in January or if you have tried any of these out! Enjoy!

 
 
Beauty 

 



 
Mally Perfect Prep Poreless Primer Glow- Wow that is a lot of P's! Ha! I have been using this primer for the past month and out of all the ones I tried on my hands in Ulta this was BY FAR the softest. It keeps my makeup for a really long time and cancels out any redness or blemishes. I use the Glow color; because they didn't have the regular in stock; it does give you a natural healthy glow but it isn't anything that a little powder won't cancel out if you want a matte look. Such a nice brand of makeup.
Clinique Superpowder Double Face Makeup- This powder is my ULTIMATE favorite face powder. I did a full review of this powder combined with my Clinique liquid foundation (here). I went into full detail about the product and all its amazing features but bottom line: this will make your skin look porcelain it is so pretty!
Ulta Brows- I couldn't find this product on their website but Ulta has a wide variety of great brow powders that look sleek but natural at the same time. You don't have to spend a fortune to get great brow products!
Ulta Single Eye shadows- I rarely by single eye shadows because they are usually too expensive just for one but let me tell you, Ulta has great single eye shadows. They are super pigmented and smooth on your eyes. Not to mention, they have so many different colors to choose from! These are cheap and great.
 
 
Hair


 
Headbands- I have been loving cute, stylish, and sparkly headbands recently. Ulta actually has a great variety so check them out there!
 
 
Fashion
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Silver Monogram Necklace- I wear this almost every day now because it is SO cute. I got mine for Christmas off of Etsy.com so if you search monogram necklace there are a TON that pop up. Mine is in sterling silver and I get tons of compliments on it!
Brown Monogram Clutch- Again I received this for Christmas off Etsy.com but I linked the exact shop. Very cute accessory, I am sure you all have seen in my Fashion Fridays posts!
Houndstooth Scarf- I love scarfs during the winter and this houndstooth one is no exception! I adore it and it is such a statement.
Layering Clothing- Are we surprised?? I think all of you know that I ADORE layering my clothes and find it is ever so preppy and cute! I linked this to where I pick up most of my layered clothing!
Brown and Black Riding Boots- Again, are we surprised? There were very few fashion posts this fall and winter that didn't include the boots! My brown ones were on sale at JCPennys, and my black ones I got from Shoe Carnival. Both are super comfortable and stylish.
 
Nails
 
 
Jamberry Nails- These are my new found obsession! I did a full review of the nails (here) where you can read more about how easily they are applied. They are super cheap for as many nail wraps as you get, they stay on for weeks, don't damage your nails, and come in a THOUSAND cute designs. Definitely click on the title for the link and you will instantly want to buy a hundred I promise! The ones pictured were part of their Christmas collection, but they have a lot of other great ones and I may have just ordered some new ones you will see soon!
 
Songs
Taylor Swift's New Album- Life is too short to pretend you don't like groovy Taylor Swift songs right? Her new album is full of catchy tunes that get stuck in my head all day!
A Woman Like You By: Lee Brice- AH! I love this man and his music. I just love country music and the story that every song tells and this one in particular melts my heart! So cute and catchy!
 
T.V / Movies
Switched at Birth is back!!- You may or may not know that Switched at Birth is my FAVORITE show but a while ago when there was the season finale and no new episodes came on I kind of freaked out, but then they returned and I am loving this season so far! Watch on ABC Family every Tuesday night!
Bringing up Bates- This is a reality TV show about a family with 19 kids of all ages and to be honest I would so love to meet them and just come to a family dinner with them. They crack me up and their southern accents, jokes, and Christian faith remind me of my family just in a larger quantity! It is so nice to see clean TV shows on!
Scandal- After hearing a lot of people talking about it I decided to start it on Netflix and it is captivating. I wish I had a brain like Olivia Pope and was quick whited like her :) I usually love crime and investigation shows so this is straight up my alley!
Annie- I went to go see this movie in theaters and it was quite cute! I didn't write a full review on it because it wasn't anything to write home about, however, I thought it was quite cute and made for a fun little movie outing.
Unbroken- You can read my full review (here) but you should know that this is a very depressing and deep, dark film. It does however portray the true story quite nicely and is DEFINITELY worth seeing! I linked the trailer to the title so you should check that out.
 
Books
 
The Selection Series- I did a full review of this series (here) but you should read these books because they are so addicting and an AWESOME romance without being to mushy and cliché. I would have to say this is my favorite series of books I have ever read.
 
Food
 
Sweet Potatoe Chips- These are my new favorite chips ever! I wish they came in a bigger bag :) I get them at my local Publix, Whole Foods, or Fresh Market. I usually hate Sweet Potatoes but the taste of these all natural chips is seriously amazing. They aren't bad for you like normal potato chips so if you can find these in your stores try them!
Spinach and Kale Chips- I know these sound like they would taste awful but they are actually quite tasty. They taste mostly just like a little salt. The only ingredients are kale, spinach, and salt so they are super natural and healthy! They taste super good too.
 
Activity
Yoga- I have been loving Cara Stiles and her easy yoga videos. It is so weird because watching it, you would thing it would be easy but you break a sweat pretty fast. It is super relaxing and makes me feel nice and refreshed after doing it though! I linked my daily yoga video in the title so click to watch it.
Tone It Up Blog and Videos- I joined the Tone It Up Blog and I love these girls! They are so fit and so fun. Their website which I linked in the title, gives daily workouts and has a ton of recipes which are all super healthy and delicious and their YouTube channel (here) is where they share their vlogs and workout videos. They're so inspiring and will make you want to live a healthier and more active lifestyle (not to mention their workouts totally kick my butt!!). My favorite workout by one of them is the Kettle Toning (here). Check them out, you will be hooked!
 
Random
 
Gel Pens- Who doesn't love writing with these fun colorful gel pens? They make taking notes SO much more fun. Why not have 100 of these guys? My mom found this rotating contraption of gel pens at Cosco (go figure, because everything there is huge!) and I use them all the time now. It makes homework so much more interesting and all my teachers know which paper is mine now!
 
Hope you guys enjoyed this massive favorites post! Comment or email me with any thoughts or questions!
