January Favorites

In January, I found so many incredible fashion, beauty, and lifestyle finds that have quickly become some of my favorite things. It turns out that many of my favorites became your favorites, too. Today, I’m sharing a round-up of my January favorites and the things you loved most. So, let’s jump in!

Longchamp Tote

This has been my go-to everyday tote bag since August. I originally bought it for my trip to London and it was perfect for travel since it folds up flat. It also stores everything I need without getting too heavy! I highly recommend getting an insert for it – I have this one for mine! It helps prevent the bottom from slouching.

Earlier this month, I shared the essentials I keep inside my everyday tote bag. Watch it here!

Lululemon Sneakers

I love going for walks as my daily exercise – it’s a way to get moving and de-stress and I enjoy listening to my playlist or podcasts during that time. 9 times out of 10, I reach for these sneakers for them daily. They are very supportive around the ankle and arch. I got my normal size!

Spanx Cozy Wrap

This cozy wrap has been worn on repeat this month! It’s very similar to the Zella wrap we loved but was sadly disconditued, however it’s in the super cozy AirEssentials fabric we all know and love! You can wear it a few ways (buttoned, opened, etc) and it’s long enough to be leggings friendly. If you’re expecting this year and need a cozy nursing friendly layer, I especialy recommend! Spanx bumped up my code to 20% off – it’s AMANDAJOHNxSPANX – but just a heads up it is a one time use now, so use it wisely!

Cashmere Sweater

I’m a big fan of cashmere during the colder months because it keeps me warm without overheating, plus it’s just so soft and cozy! I love to throw this crew neck sweater on casually around the house, the I’ll throw on some jeans if we’re heading out to dinner. I sized up to a medium for a cozier fit.

Amazon Cardigan

This is the perfect cozy cardigan to throw on day to day! It has an oversized fit and is a little thicker, but it’s not as heavy as a coatigan.

Londontown Nail Polish

If your goal is stronger, healthier nails, you have to give this polish line a try! I swear by their probiotic and strengthener after a gel manicure – you can immediately see the results! I also love the illuminating polish for day to day.

Face Moisturizer

I’ve been using this affordable moisturizer for the last month, and it’s been great for my sensitive skin! I love how simple it is for day to day, especially as an AM moisturizer.

Tanning Drops

I swear by these tanning drops to beat the winter scaries. It gives my skin the most subtle color and makes it look more even-toned for days I want to be makeup free. I just add 2-3 drops into my AM moisturizer a few times per week.

Prada Perfume

This perfume has been my most worn fragrance this month. It’s feminine and floral without being too sweet – and I LOVE the jasmine in it!

New Water Cup

I’ve been a Stanley girl for years, but I officially made the switch over to this water cup the last few months! I love the soft straw and that is has rubber on the bottom to give it some grip, plus it makes less noise when you set it down.

2025 planners

As the true Capricorn I am, my new 2025 planners definitely have to make the list! This is the first year I’m trying 2 planners – one for personal and one for business. And it may be a little premature to say, but I think it’s been a game-changer for me! I’ve been able to be more detailed with my daily to-dos and goals since I have more dedicated space for them. I’m using this planner for my personal, and this one for business (going on 5 years with it!)

Learning piano

I started learning how to play the piano this month, and it’s been a great way to de-dress at the end of the day and stay off screens for an hour or so. I’ve just followed tutorials on youtube for some of my favorite songs I’ve wanted to learn!
