So I've always loved favourite videos and posts, I find them so helpful when it comes to new things to try when it comes stuff like makeup and perfume, but also what new shows to watch or something yummy to have a nibble on. It's interesting to see what people are into and what trends are going on at the moment, hopefully you guys find something new in mine.

Books:

The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin This is the first self-help book I've ever read and it's inspiring, it's about the authors search for happiness and satisfaction in her life, a blog post about it will be up soon!

Jamie Oliver's Christmas Cookbook Three of my favourite things in a book - Jamie Oliver, Christmas and Cooking!

Perfume:

Juicy Couture - Viva La Juicy I got this as a Christmas gift a couple of years ago and it's still practically full, it smells absolutely gorgeous.

Lipstick:

Colourpop Ultra Matte Lip Liquid Lipstick in 'Midi' Literally the perfect 'my lips but better' colour, it goes on so so nice and doesn't dry tacky like other liquid lipsticks sometimes do.

Hair:

Schwarzkopf BC Bonacure Color Freeze Shampoo So I recently went blonde and it was the best decision of my life, having been done by bleach though I need to use a purple shampoo to stop my hair from going brassy. This is the one my hairdresser gave to me and its a life saver, I highly recommend it!

Food & Drink:

Rogue Society Dry Gin This was one of my Christmas presents this year and its so so yummy, gin and tonics are my faves.

Pana Chocolate I'm really into health foods and am always on the lookout for new yummy treats and this chocolate really hits the spot; it's raw, vegan, organic and refined sugar free! Plus the flavours are so good: Sour Cherry & Vanilla, Fig & Wild Orange just to name a few.

Home Decor: Succubi Bowl My very talented Mum made this for me for Christmas, its so so lovely, I'm so impressed that she made this herself. Nothing makes a place feel more home-y than a house plant!

Blog: www.poppydeyes.com As I am an avid watcher of the British YouTuber's, I of course know who Poppy Deyes is and I love everything about her. She's so chill and likable and creative so of course I would love her blog too. Go check it out!

YouTuber:

Cartia Mallan This amazing woman is an inspiration to me, she is so true to herself and passionate about what she believes in. Her videos are extraordinary, they're different than your usual genre of videos, they actually make you feel things. I'm so proud of what she has achieved and how she has affected my own life and mindset. Honestly, she is amazing you have to check her out!!!

TV & Movie: Daredevil This is a Marvel TV Show about a blind lawyer-turned-vigilante, every episode is like so good you get addicted straight away and the villains are as good as the protagonist which I looove in shows, definitely worth a watch.

Love Actually I mean, everyone knows this movie, and Christmas has just been so I watched it again recently and remembered how much I love it, if you haven't seen it then where have you been the past 13 years?!

And here concludes my first favourites, I'm not sure if I will do this every month seeing as I'm a creature of habit and don't often try new things, but I'll try my best to try do them often!
