For the first time since April last year, my monthly favourites post contains no makeup. Throughout January I think I wore makeup once, because I just haven’t felt like wearing it. It’s been a nice break, but I must admit that I’m starting to miss it, so hopefully February’s post is beauty filled.
These are my January Favourites 2021.
Animal Crossing
I loved Animal Crossing last year, I played it religiously for a few months, and at the end of the Summer I left it and never went back. I’m not sure what made me pick it back up, but I’ve been loving it. I decided to completely re-do my island and it’s reignited my love for it.
CGD London Planner
At the beginning of January I decided to get a planner after seeing Shannen talking about it, in this post. It’s the Getting Stuff Done planner and I love it. It’s the first planner I’ve had where I’ve been inspired to use it everyday. My favourite part is the daily quote because I take my time to pick one off of Pinterest and it really helps my mood and keeps my productivity up. The only downside is that it only has 288 pages, so I can’t use it everyday.
Decluttering
I had a huge declutter this month, and boy was it much needed. At the moment I currently have five bin liners ready to go the charity shop once they reopen. I went through my wardrobe and finally let go of clothes I had been holding onto, as well as throwing out expired makeup that was at the back of my draws. It’s been really nice to let go, and hopefully some of the things go to a better home.
Netflix
I’m not a TV/ movie person at all, but throughout January I found myself watching Netflix a lot. After reading Beckie’s post of her favourite shows, one of them caught my eye and I knew I had to watch it. That show is Next in Fashion and it’s fair to say that I loved it. I got through it in three days, and I’m gutted it’s not coming back for another series. Once I finished that I decided to watch The Circle USA and I got through that extremely quickly as well.
We Moved House!
Finally the thing I’ve been talking about for what feels like forever has happened! On the 29th of January, Jake and I moved into our very first home. It’s been such an exciting time, and I still don’t feel like it’s sunk in. We have so many plans, and things we want to change, but we’re finding it hard with the shops being shut. I’m just super happy about it, and feel proud of what we’ve managed to achieve.
There we have it! Those are my January Favourites 2021.
What were you loving in January?
Thank you for reading!
Moving home is so exciting! I’ve just seen the ads for the new UK season of the Circle and i am so excited! Loved the last 2! xx

Congratulations on moving into your first home! You should feel proud- that is a huge accomplishment! I can’t believe you don’t have any makeup items in this post, but I really liked reading about what else you’ve been up to!
Thank you so much! I know, it’s very different considering these are normally only makeup haha! I am so glad you still liked it xx
Congrats ont he new house and moving in! We did a big declutter with moving to our current house after we built it although I think now it’s been 2 years we should really do another one, things accumulate so quickly, haha!
Hope you had a good weekend 🙂 Ours was nice, celebrating Lunar New Year with the family.
Thank you so much! It’s such a good time to declutter isn’t it?! I hope it goes well if you do another one. Thank you, and you too!xx

Oh wow, massive congratulations on moving house, that’s so exciting! I know what you mean about not wearing make up – I sometimes go days on end without any and I do think my skin is a lot happier. Congrats on the declutter too 🙂 x
Thank you so much! Yeah, it’s been a nice break from it, and I totally get what you mean my skin is thriving haha! Thank you!xx
I’ve been doing alot of decluttering this month too! I’m glad someone else is still playing animal crossing, I thought I was the only one haha x
It’s such a good feeling isn’t it?! It does feel like barely anyone plays it anymore!xx
Having a good old declutter is such a good feeling isn’t it! And I really wanna get back into Animal Crossing!

It really is, it’s so good to let go and not be as cluttered! I’m so happy to be back into it! Redoing the island is whats keeping me hooked xx
Decluttering is so important during these tough times, and I think these are brilliant choices from January. Thank you for sharing x
It really is, I’m with you on that one! I am so glad you think so. It’s no problem, thank you for stopping by xx
Congratulations on moving into your first home! It sounds very exciting! I also loved Animal Crossing – I think as we entered Winter so many people ended up picking the game back up and redoing their islands!
Thank you so much!! It’s definitely an exciting time. Yeah, I think a lot of people needed a break because we spent so long on it when it’s only really meant to be played for an hour an day haha!xx
Congratulations on the moving!! it’s such an exciting time to 🙂 Got thoroughly obsessed with Animal Crossing when it came out until a month ago, I started playing less than my usual, but it’s still one of my favourites! x
Thank you so much! I’m glad you’re still enjoying it, it’s such a sweet game xx
awww completely adore this! Well done (also that yankee candle is love isn’t it?)

Thank you so much! It really is! Honestly, it’s so fun haha!xx
Well with the pandemic that is not surprising. I had a Netflix account but cancelled it about 6 months ago as there was nothing on it I wanted to watch but I my start it up again.

Thank you so much xx
Congrats on your move! And LOL – I remember binging the Circle when it came out and it was so addictive. Decluttering always feels super good too.
Thank you! It’s so good isn’t it?! It really does xx
Congratulations on your new home! In January I loved the outdoorsy lifestyle. We are still in lockdown here in The Netherlands so technically it’s the only thing we are allowed to do, hahaha, but it’s nice to go for a long walk and get some fresh air every day. I also made a lot of soups and stews. So yummy!
Thank you! It’s nice to get out isn’t it? Especially with lockdown, I hope you’re doing okay xx
Love a good declutter! It really helps you feel like you can almost start again! and a house move is so exciting, congrats on the new place!

Congratulations on your new home lovely! I’ve loved getting back into animal crossing as well, I got pretty bored of the snow quite quickly so I’ve been time travelling recently which has helped me get back into it x

congrats on moving! How exciting is that?! I can’t wait to see more blog posts on your moving updates and such. I’m the same with with Animal Crossing. I was obsessed from April to June/July, then took a bit of a break, and started playing again in November! It’s been so fun slowly updating my island! We should be animal crossing friends 🙂 xx
