Starting with the much loved topic of beauty/skin care. I have fallen in love with charcoal masks, scrubs and face washes this month but one that stands out as being better than the rest that I've tried is the Quick Fix Facials Purifying Charcoal Mask, you simply just apply a thick layer onto the skin and allow it to do its magic, 10 minutes later wash it off with a hot flannel...sorted! It honestly works wonders in removing all of the grime that would otherwise remain on your face. It's super cheap too so added bonus there! I've also been loving the well known Biore Deep Cleansing Nose Strips. All it takes is 10 minutes max to remove billions (not quite that many but you know what I mean) on blackheads from your nose...SO SATISFYING. Now I know some people find these totally disgusting but I'm not one of those people.
I've become a little addicted to the internet this month as procrastinating from revision kicks in, but I have discovered two YouTubers that deserve so much more credit than they're being given. One of those is Fabulous Hannah, she is honestly hilarious just go and watch her baking videos if you want to go see for yourself. I mean, she's persistent at her attempts to bake (and construct sleighs) I'll give her that! She is so relatable, which I just love she doesn't pretend to love every single makeup product that she gets her hands on and gives her honest opinion on what products she's used. Watch her most recent video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gxLAt8g0NJA
Another Youtube I've been loving is Mei-Ying Chow, yet again she's hilariously brilliant (as is her mum) and will have you laughing within seconds of clicking on one of her videos. Watch her most recent video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WeExEGbKcw8
So, I'm not a reader, I never have been. I'm one of those that would much rather sit and watch YouTube videos than pick up a book. However I got a book voucher for my birthday and not wanting it to go to waste I took a trip to Waterstones in town and picked up a book in the recent releases section. It was Late Fragments by Kate Gross, and oh my a book has never changed the way I think o much. Kate died from cancer on Christmas Day 2014 but wrote this heartwrenching book for her two young sons, it honestly has to be one of my favourites 10/10 recommend you give it a read.
And that's it...everything new I've discovered throughout the month of January, I'll leave the links to everything that I've mentioned below.
