January 2018 favourites

Hi there nice peoples!!  I though I'd share with you my monthly favourites - this seems to be quite a popular topic at the moment.  Here are my January 2018 favourites:


My bullet journal.  I did a post on this earlier this month if you'd like to see how I set up my bullet journal.  This is my first time trying a bullet journal and I absolutely LOVE it.  It is so easy and convenient to use and I particularly enjoy being able to customise it to my needs.  I have always found traditional journals to have too big daily spaces and too little space for other things.

Man with a plan.  This show is one of the funniest I have ever seen and let's be honest, who does not enjoy Matt LeBlanc! :)  I also got some parenting ideas from this - yes, I know, it is fiction but the ideas come from the writers and they get it from somewhere, don't they?

Superior Donuts.  This show also gave me quite a chuckle and taught me a bit about racism abroad.  Living in South Africa, I am no stranger to racism, but it is always refreshing to learn of other cultures.  I particularly liked the way that this show addresses these issues.

Thor: Ragnarok.  My husband and I follow the Marvel series and finally saw Thor: Ragnarok during January on our date night.  This one is my favourite of all the Marvel movies!  I know there is quite a bit of critique going around, but I REALLY enjoyed the humour in it, it just lifts the story for me.



My new floral ballet pumps.  These are my 'spontaneous buy' of January.  I originally went to Ackermans to buy my son some vests and saw these - yes, I went to go look at the shoes without any intention to buy some - who doesn't? :).  They were the only pair left, in my size (Yay) and was on special when I got to the till.  A comfortable and beautiful bargain shoe indeed.

Garnier BB cream.  I tried Garnier's BB cream before, around 2012, and was highly disappointed.  It was very oily and made me break out more.  Recently I walked around Clicks and saw a new BB cream by Garnier and decided to give it a try, and I LOVE it.  I have no idea what the difference is, but this one certainly works a lot better.  It blends in well, does not show on my skin, gives me good cover and most importantly, does not make me break out.  I have eczema and have struggled for years to get the right product for my skin, and I am very happy that I finally found it.

So, these are my favourties of the past month.  I hope you enjoyed the read and I will post my favourites for every month as the year goes on!

Bye bye :)
