Monthly Favourites: January 2017

Wow, the end of January certainly snuck up on me, that's for sure! Although I knew it was coming (today is my mom's birthday!), I am still scrambling at the last minute to wrap up my January favourites post. Then again, it seems that I work best under pressure so without further ado.. 

LUSH D'Fluff Shaving Soap | This is one of the LUSH items that Jordan gave me for Christmas and I completely intend to repurchase it. While (like many items from LUSH) it isn't the easiest thing to use, I love how it makes my skin feel. I rarely ever have any knicks from shaving and as someone who suffers from extremely dry skin on my legs in the wintertime, I haven't been having any issues since using this! I only have a small pot which I've used nearly every day this month and it's about 75% gone, so while it is slightly more expensive than the drugstore version, I will at least continue to buy it on occasion.

We Did It When We Were Young - The Gaslight Anthem | I discovered this song on One Tree Hill which means it is definitely not new but I can't get enough of it! 

Burn Fast (BKAYE Remix) - Bryce Fox | This remix has also been on repeat in my car. Such a fun song!

Epicure Veggie Twist & Spiral Slicer | Since becoming an Epicure consultant, I've discovered a lot of new and great products, but this one has to be a favourite. I love using this to make zoodles which are not only delicious but also healthy! I made this recipe yesterday and I highly recommend it! Get in touch with me if you would like to order one for yourself.

YSL Rouge Volupé Oil-In-Stick Lipstick in "49" | This product will receive a post of its own but I couldn't not include it in the list as it's basically the only lipstick I've used this month. I have to thank Bri for turning me on to this one but my bank account is crying because I want one in every color now.

"Bloom: Navigating Life and Style" by Estee LaLonde | This is another product that I received for Christmas and I'm 90% finished. I will probably do a more thorough review eventually but I really enjoyed reading this so far. I love Estee (especially the fact that she's Canadian!) and it is definitely a beautiful book to look at.

CRUISE! | We booked a cruise for October aboard the Norwegian Escape so of course I have been pre-occupied with studying the ship, learning about the ports of call, and planning outfits. Yeah, I know, it's a bit early but I can't help it! When I have a trip to look forward to, it's all that I can fixate on! I can't wait to do some cruise-related content on the blog later in the year.

Snapchat | Despite the fact that a lot of people are leaving in favour of Instagram stories, I am more obsessed with Snapchat than ever. I love getting a glimpse behind the scenes, whether it's of every day life, travel, or fun events. I am trying to use my Snapchat more, including speaking to the camera and not just relying on photos! Feel free to follow me at "janineallison"!
