MY JANUARY TOP 5: MY RECENT OBSESSIONS

As February looms just around the corner, I thought that I would share a couple of my January obsessions...everything from beauty to tech to podcasts. So, here are my January top 5'... p.s. click on the picture to get to the product!!

No.1 Olive and June Nail Polish

Originally starting out as an in-person nail salon experience, the LA based nail polish-lifestyle brand has completely changed my nail game. I recently purchased their full-mani system which lets you have salon perfect nails from the comfort of your own home- Including "The Poppy" which allows you to easily use your non-dominant hand. Not only do they have tons of super cute nail polish colours, but they also sell stick on nail art! Check out their insta as well for mani-tips, how-to videos and so many nail design inspirations.

No. 2 The Daily Edited Phone Case

I discovered this brand a while ago but was actually gifted a personalised phone case from one of my friends and I am IN LOVE. You can customise pretty much any thing imaginable (tech-relate) and can rely on the quality for incredibly durable products.

No.3 Deliciously Ella Podcast

If you are a fan of nutrition, mental health or general wellness, I highly recommend giving the Deliciously Ella Podcast a listen. The hosts speak with experts in the field of wellness and provide the perfect balance of scientific and holistic information.

No.4 Baublebar Bracelets

Baublebar has been a go-to jewellery brand for as long as I can remember, but they recently launched a 20% off code when you purchase two or more bracelets. So, I may have bought a few too many… who can have too much jewellery though, am I right?

No.5 Goop Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator

If you know me, you know that I struggle with really horrible rosacea- a pretty nasty skin condition that inflames the veins on my face, leaving me with red blotchy skin and cystic acne:( After years of being on all sorts of treatments with names I can’t pronounce I decided to give my skin a break and try using some more natural beauty products. A friend of mine recommended to take a look at Goop’s beauty section and try out specifically the Microderm Instant Glow Exfoliator. I’ve for so long struggled to find an exfoliator that works on my sensitive skin but I am LOVING the results this one is giving me. *Note: This is not meant to be medical advice in any way and you should always consult a dermatologist if you have a skin condition. This is written from personal experience only.

Bonus!!!! (Because you read all the way through)

No.6 Southhampton Soap Company Solid Perfume

My number one tip for feeling presentable is to smell good. Southhampton Soap Company is a small business (which are super important to support in these tough times) that has literally the BEST SMELLING PRODUCTS EVER. My go to perfume is their Black Amber and Lavender scented perfume.

Thanks so much for reading, and many more posts coming soon!
