January Favourites 2022

Well, January didn’t end how I expected it to. If you follow me on Instagram then you’ll know that I caught COVID. Luckily I haven’t been bad with it, and as this post goes live; I’m finally negative. Unfortunately, I tested positive on my mums birthday, and was still positive for my own birthday. Which isn’t the best timing, but I know we can celebrate at a later date. Even though the month didn’t end how I thought it would, I still wanted to share my favourites.

These are my January Favourites 2022.

YSL | Libre Perfume

I have posted my first impressions of this scent already, but as I continued to use it; I fell in love. It’s such a beautiful fragrance and the one in my collection that I find myself reaching for again and again. It has citrus top and heart notes, but musk and vanilla make the most amazing base. This may be my new signature scent.

Too Faced | Sweet Peach Palette

This seems to get mentioned in all of my favourites posts, but every time I come back it; I’m reminded why i love it so much. I decided to include this in my project pan, which means I’ve been using it a lot in January and I have not been disappointed. It performs well and I always love the end result. It’s one of my favourite palettes, which is kind of crazy considering there was a time where I was considering decluttering it…

Maybelline | Lash Sensational Mascara

Now this is a classic. I have been buying this mascara for years, and it’s one that I always like to have in my collection. When the other mascara I was using ran out, and I needed another one; I knew I’d go back to this. It lengthens my lashes without clumping, and I know I can rely on it.

Good Molecules | Hyaluronic Acid Serum

This was gifted, but all opinions are my own.

I am mad at myself for not mentioning this on my blog sooner. Seriously, this stuff is incredible, and I don’t know what I’m going to do with myself when I run out. A little bit goes a long way, and my skin feels incredible after using it. It absorbs quickly and doesn’t feel sticky or ball up. If you have dry skin, then you will love this.

Blogging

There is something about blogging in January that I love. It’s when I’m full of ideas and have a lot more motivation than usual. I know January gets a bad rep, but it’s one of my favourite months. Even though I am slightly biased as it’s my birthday month… I’ve really enjoyed blogging in January, whether it be: creating new content, or editing older posts. I’m just hoping that motivation sticks around.

There we have it, those are my January Favourites 2022.

What were you loving in January?

Thank you for reading.

    I’ve never tried anything from Good Molecules but I’ve heard that their cleansing balm is good, and this serum seems right up my alley! Glad to hear you’re feeling better – hopefully you’re having a better February than January!

    What a great month of favorites! I see that you really got a lot of use out of the Sweet Peach Palette! I actually have the matte version of this palette, and maybe I’ll bring it out again. I used to love that palette, and used to get so much use out of the shades. You hit pan on two shades of that palette, and it looks like 3 more have huge dents in them! You’re doing a great job on your project pan. Great post Han xxx

    Sorry to hear that you had Covid on your birthday – I hope you can celebrate soon! I need to try that mascara soon – I’d say that I’m the only person on the planet not to have tried it yet! lol! x

Missing mornings like this✨ Current mood: Sitting Missing mornings like this✨

Current mood: Sitting by a pool in Greece sipping a freddo cappuccino😍

Actual reality: Staring at my kettle in the UK wishing it could do magic tricks😭

Is it actually worth investing in a proper coffee machine? And more importantly, which one should I get?

I actually only like iced coffee, so I’m not sure if a machine is for me, but there’s got to be a way… right?😭😂

Real talk family dinner review!🤍 (Gifted/ invite) Real talk family dinner review!🤍
(Gifted/ invite)

We treated the kids to a meal out at weathervanemeirpark this weekend, and the family vibes were lovely. One of the biggest wins was that the staff brought over colouring pages and crayons for both kids without us even having to ask. Which is a lifesaver with two toddlers🥵

Noah and Ella were completely won over by the food. Noah cleared his plate of sausage, chips, and beans, and Ella was living her best life with pasta, corn on the cob, and chips (a toddler dream combo, let’s be real😂)

As for the adults, Jake loved The Big Melt burger. I ordered the Katsu Curry Feast, and we did have a little hiccup where my chicken looked a little pink, but I always judge a place by how they handle mistakes. The staff were absolutely brilliant, replaced it immediately, and even brought over a complimentary drink to apologise. Great customer service honestly makes all the difference.🫶🏻

It’s a super welcoming, stress free spot if you’re looking for somewhere to take the kids this weekend. 

Swipe to the very end to see Ella making sure no ice cream got left behind😂

What’s your ultimate go to meal when you eat out with the family?🍽️

🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵 Yesterday we he 🩵 Father’s Day at @draytonmanor 🩵

Yesterday we headed to Drayton Manor for the first time, and we absolutely loved it! 🚂

The highlights:

🎢 We managed to hit all the rides we wanted.

⏱️ Queue times were super manageable—the longest we waited was 30 minutes, which is the absolute limit with a 1 and 3-year-old! 😂

🥵 It was too hot to make it to the zoo this time, but with animal-loving toddlers, we will definitely be back to check it out. 🐯

Have you been to Drayton Manor before? 

What’s your ultimate tip for taking toddlers to theme parks in the heat? 👇🏼
