JANUARY MONTHLY FAVOURITES

Well, once again January has lasted twice as long as every other month does (seriously though, why does it always feel like that?) Anyway, I thought I'd share the things I've enjoyed during the start of 2019. 

Creativity 

After receiving a new camera for Christmas, I've enjoyed taking photos whenever I can. I definitely need to get out and about to test it properly but it's been great just experimenting! I'm really hoping that we get some good snow because I'd love to get some great photos of that, I always think it looks so pretty! However, if all else fails, you can always count on a good sunset for a perfect photo opportunity. 

Food

I feel like I have to mention all leftover snacks from Christmas firstly as it's always a good day when you remember you've got a whole chocolate orange to eat still. I also am a big fan of fudge in general and hadn't had any for ages so was pleased when my mum picked up some of the Rydale Farm Gold Collection all butter fudge. It's pretty affordable but tastes really creamy so if you're looking to buy any fudge then I'd recommend it!

TV

I don't watch a lot of actual TV but I did watch Season 5 of Luther on BBC recently, it didn't blow me away but I'd still recommend the series if you've not watched it yet and the previous seasons are on Netflix. Speaking of which, most of the tv shows I watch are things I find on Netflix - my most recent post was a list of all the series I've enjoyed if you'd like some inspiration. My most recent watch was Sex Education, a Netflix original that was absolutely hilarious but also covered some pretty substantial topics. I think it's great that it dealt with taboo topics surrounding relationships, sex and growing up as a teenager, the cast was great too so I'd give it a go if you haven't yet!

Technology 

I'm always listening to music and whilst I didn't feel the need to invest in airpods, I did get some more affordable Bluetooth earphones for Christmas because it's so annoying not having a headphone jack on my phone and it's made it so much easier listening to music on the go! I also want to listen to a bigger variety of music this year so these will come in handy for that.

Drink

I was recently gifted a selection of 8 tea bags from Shibui Tea, which is probably one of the most blogger type things to receive ever! They're a super eco-friendly brand as all of the packaging is biodegradable and have some really interesting flavours. I was kindly given some of the classics like English Breakfast and Earl Gray, as well as some others including Rooibos & Orange, Chocolate & Ginger. They also sent two of their Christmas flavours - Mulled Spice and Gingerbread which I was very pleased about. I've not tried them all yet but the ones I have were great, you can check out their products here as they have lots of other flavours!

I'd love to know what things you've enjoyed throughout January, have you watched Sex Education and if so what did you think? Or, I'm always looking for other suggestions!
