I feel like I am back in my blogging grove and I love this feeling! I have tried to stay on top of it during medical school, but it has been so hard to do so (but have been on my socials!). I think the state of social media being in big flux the last couple of months has brought me back to my website as it is something that will always be here and I can always reference it!
January has felt so long but so quick and I'm shocked we are at the end of it. This month, I had my last away rotation of fourth year of medical school then spent the rest of the month home in Minnesota where it has been frigid. My parents bought a new house that they have been renovating, so I have been picking out the design for my room and can't wait to put it all together, but may need some insight from you guys!
January Favorites:
1. Wicked Stanley: I wanted this since it came out last fall. It sold out so fast, and I kept checking the Target website to see if they received any more in stock. I almost bought one on a resale site but those also kept selling out. Turns out my mom had purchased one when they came out and gave it to me for the holidays! I have been using it non-stop since, haha. I am not a hot pink girlie, but the sparkly Glinda pink speaks to me! (still can find them on Mercari, eBay, etc!)
2. SkinFix Triple Lipid Peptide Cream: It has been SO cold and dry this January and my skin has not enjoyed it and even have eczema breakouts which I have never had before. I usually just use this at night but will use it as my daytime moisturizer if my skin is very dry, flaky and irritated. I highly recommend if your skin is very dry/irritated and in need of some barrier repair. I have noticed that some products will feel like they burn on my already irritated skin, but this cream does not do that and feels soothing. Stay tuned for all my dry skin recs!
3. More Needlepointing: I have been on a good needlepoint routine this month. It makes me so happy because it is my favorite hobby. I have purchased many new canvases this month and now need to be cut off, haha. There is just something so relaxing but so productive about stitching, but also getting to be creative as I decide thread colors and try new stitches. This is a great beginner canvas to try if you want to start.
4. T-shirt's under sweaters: I never understood why you would wear a t-shirt under a sweater until I tried it. It adds an extra layer of warmth without feeling bulky and I think it almost protects your sweaters and makes them last longer. It also feels so luxurious to wear one and feels chic to have a nice t-shirt popping out of the top of a sweater?! Definitely try it if you haven't already.
5. These PJ's: I have replaced my entire pajama collection with matching PJ sets now and its just one of those little things that brings me so much joy. I got this pair during the HHH sale and have been my most worn pair this month. The cotton is SO soft and feels great against your skin and makes them extra comfy. They do stretch out a bit as your wear them, but I honestly like that. I get a medium in HHH (and most other brands) pj's. (My tip is to NOT put these in the dryer when you wash them because they will shrink.)
6. Pinterest: I have had a Pinterest account since 2012. I have always used it here or there in the past few years, but this month I feel like I have fell in love with it again. I am having so much fun looking for inspiration and it is really sparking my creativity. I am decorating my room in my parents new house, as I mentioned above, I've been loving going to Pinterest for ideas. You can follow along with me here!
