January Favorites!

How is January already over?! I have already broken all of my New Year's resolutions (love me some carbs), and my final semester of college as an undergrad has begun! I haven't done a monthly favorites post in quite some time, so I thought why not kick off six more weeks of Winter (little shit groundhog saw his shadow) with my favorite things of January!

January Favorites


Beauty Favorites


Anastasia Beverly Hills Brow Wiz ($21) - It should come as no surprise that I'm obsessed with eyebrows. And this brow pencil...oh sweet JAYSUS! It's honestly the best brow pencil on the market. Period.  My brother gave me a Sephora gift card for Christmas (bless him) and this is what I bought with it and I regret nothing. I have received so many compliments on my brows after this purchase. I recommend it to all. Buy your's here.

Too Faced Natural Eye Neutral Eye Shadow Collection ($36)- I've been into natural smokey eyes lately, and this palette is perfect for just that. I can make my eyes look sultry, sexy, and everything inbetween. I think I've used this almost everyday since I bought it...no shame. I like that inside there is also a little booklet showing you different looks! And the case is perfect for travel. Win all around. Purchase here.


Fashion Favorites

Nike Compression Tights ($60)- Literally obsessed with these leggings. OBSESSED! I will never buy any other brand of workout leggings for the rest of my life I swear. They're soft, flexible to move in, and make your legs look AMAZING! I wish I could buy them all out from Nordstrom. These motivate me to get my booty off the couch! Get your own pair here.

Marc by Marc Jacobs Logo Disc Earrings ($48)-There is nothing classier than a small pair of studs to go with every outfit, and these have been my go-to earrings this month. They are the perfect size without being annoying to wear. I got these for Christmas last year, but for whatever reason I've been reaching to wear them a lot recently. So cute, so presh, and you so need them in your life. Find them here.


Music Favorites

7/11 by Beyonce- No one beats Queen B. Fun fact: my friends and I blasted this song and danced while we waited to have our exit interviews for my wine class. This song literally makes NO SENSE but I love it. And I love the video for it. Watch and listen here.

Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson (ft. Bruno Mars)- Disco + Bruno Mars= heaven. I cannot stop listening to this tune. And the video? I'm smitten. After listening to this song I was want to blast "Stayin' Alive" and other disco hits. Bruno is officially bringing back the 70s. Take a listen for yourself here.

September by Earth, Wind, and Fire- This is a classic and one of my favorite songs of all time.  If I'm ever in a sour mood, I put on this song and instantly feel 300% better.  It's also a great song to get ready to when you're going out with the girls. Don't ask me why...it just is. Have a listen here.

Where do Broken Hearts Go by One Direction- We've already established my weird obsession with boybands. But this song is SO FREAKING GOOD AND IT'S ONE OF MY TOP 3 FAVORITE SONGS BY THEM EVER, OKAY?! It's so rock n roll and sexy and I belt out the lyrics every time it comes on. Best line is "are you sleeping, baby, by yourself? Or are you giving it to someone else?" Let it be known, Harold, that I would be giving it to someone else. Ayyyy listen here.


TV Favorites

The Walking Dead (AMC)- Holy damn. This show is...EVERYTHING! I randomly started watching it over Winter Break and my mama and I got hooked. HAVE YOU SEEN DARYL DIXON?! I want to marry him and have him protect me forever. I watched all 4 seasons on Netflix in a month on top of work, school, and social gatherings...that's how amazing this show is. What I love about this show is that crazy things happen in every episode, not just at finales. I have rarely been bored watching an episode, and even if I am something big always happens at the end! This show is my new LOST...and that's saying a lot from me!


Food/Drink Favorites

Stella Rosa Wine- We all know I'm a wine fanatic. This wine is so good. It's light and a little sparkly, and the perfect amount of sweet. I could drink four bottles of it, which is okay cause it's barely 5% alcohol (oops). Next time you're at the liquor store grab yourself a bottle of the Moscato. You're welcome.

Trader Joe's Falafel Wraps- Recently I have had the luxury of a Trader Joe's opening five minutes away from me, and I have been taking full advantage of it.  These wraps have falafels and tabbouleh wrapped in a pita.  I personally add some Trader joe's hummus to keep me good and full.  If you like Mediterranean food then you will love these wraps. I promise.


What are your January favorites? Are you excited for February? DO YOU LOVE DARYL DIXON AS MUCH AS I DO? Let me know in the comments below!

Until next time my loves x.
