January Favourites

As we are finally at the end of January I thought it was about time to share some of my favourite products of the past month. It is quite a random assotment of new things that I have discovered and used this month, so without further ado I'll get started...
 

Q and A a Day: 5 year Journal
I have had this journal for about three years now after receiving it as a stocking filler one Christmas, and whilst I initially used it every day I eventually ended up forgetting about it for a year or so. However, as I love the concept behind it I decided to try and stick to it a bit more religiously this year. It is a great substitute for a diary as you simply answer the question posed that day (which are a mixture of funny, quirky and philosophical) over the span of 5 years. It is also particularly interesting to read back on your previous answers to the questions to see how things have changed since then.

How to Get Away With Murder 
I stumbled across this one day whilst browsing Netflix and instantly became hooked. It follows a group of 5 law students who become involved in a murder case whilst interning for their teacher/defence attorney. The story features both flashbacks and flash forwards, as three story lines are played out simultaneously. It is extremely addictive and unpredictable, and there was many a time where I was left open-mouthed in shock at the latest revelations.

Breville Blend Active Personal Blender
As I had vowed to become a bit more healthier in 2016, I decided to buy a new blender to make smoothies and juices, as I had had my old one for years and it was a bit behind the times. After reading various reviews, I finally settled on this Breville one as it was highly recommended by a lot of people. It is extremely easy to use as you simply add all of your ingredients to the bottle, attach the blade and blend. It has no problem blending frozen fruit or ice cubes, it's not trouble to clean, and you can even drink it straight from the bottle - perfect for on the go smoothies!

Little Black Lies
I am a massive bookworm, so every Birthday and Christmas I receive a stack of new books, and last year this was one of them. It's a highly dark and thrilling novel of tragedy and revenge, set over a period of five days, with three different narrators throughout. The setting of the Falkland Islands is the perfect backdrop to the story as it adds to the eerie atmosphere, whilst suspense is created by the cliffhangers left before the narration changes. Despite there being many revelations throughout, the ending is a completely unexpected shock.

The Body Shop Japanese Cherry Blossom Body Butter 
I have become slightly obsessed with anything cherry blossom scented at the moment, so when I spotted this body butter in the body shop before Christmas, I knew I had to have it. It is extremely rich and moisturising, yet feels incredibly light on the skin, whilst the delicate, floral magnolia and cherry blossom scent lasts all day long. 

Dr Martens Black Patent Boots 
I have wanted a pair of Dr Martens for ages and since receiving a pair for Christmas I have been wearing them constantly. They are really comfortable to wear once broken in, and are perfect for the winter weather. They look great with any outfit, but I especially like wearing them with ripped boyfriend jeans or dresses. 

What are your favourite things at the moment?
