Monthly Favourites: January

Hello everybody!
This is the first time ever I'm sharing my favourites with you, so let's see how that goes. I'll talk about beauty products, clothes, accessories, books, films and so on. Each month will be different, so enjoy and I hope I inspire one of you to try one of my favourites out.

First of all, Cassandra Clare is a genius! She is such a talented writer. Some of you might know her, she's the writer of the books of the Mortal Instruments. They made a film out of the first book, known as 'The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones'. I got to know the series because of the film, and well, I read the six books in about one to two weeks. They are so addictive! You just want to keep on reading and you want to know what happens next.

For those of you who don't know the series, it's a fantasy series. It's about this girl, Clary, who lives together with her mom and her best friend Simon. She sees someone get murdered, but she's the only who did. And then the story continues from there on, and she finds out the truth about herself and her family. It's one of the best series I have ever read, and I also have all the books at home. What I didn't know, is that there's a prequel to the series, and also a sequel (yay, more to read!).

It's just so cosy, reading a book in your bed with a blanket over you, a cup of hot tea and a little snack... I could do that all day every day!

The next thing I want to talk to you about, is a beauty product, let me rephrase that, an awesome beauty product. It is BB cream, now I've known that for a pretty long time, but since this is a favourite everyone should know about, I'm telling you know. I don't use a lot of make-up, I'd say that I go out without make-up as much as with. When I do wear make-up I usually use BB cream instead of foundation, because it's less thick.

Now onto the food department... Lately I've been looking at a lot of new healthy recipes, because if I want to keep being healthy, I need different recipes to change around my menu. If I don't do that, I'll get sick of the healthy meals and reach for fast food. So, while shopping for groceries, I noticed oatmeal cookies, which I of course had to try. And I fell in love with them. Let me tell you, they are so delicious! The greatest thing for a fast breakfast, so that even when you don't feel like putting a big effort in your breakfast, you'll still have a great start of the day. Definitely try these out, you won't regret it, I hope!

And last but not least, something in fashion I have been loving lately: hats! I think they are the greatest thing to make an outfit look interesting without too much effort. I have three already, a grey one, a black one and a dark red one.

It's something you just have to try out, for two reasons. Firstly, when you think your outfit is a bit boring, add a hat and its instantly interesting. Secondly, it's great to hide a bad hair day ;)

I hope you enjoyed my favourites of January. Do try them out, I think it's great to try out new things, and you might just be pleasantly surprised about the outcome.
Thanks for reading!
