December and January Favourites

What does the end of the month mean? Favourites time! Today's favourite post is a joint favourite post as I'm combining my December favourites which I know is weird but at the end of December I posted a lot of favourites and I didn't want to also post a December one so I thought it would be better to do it this way. 

Lets start with my December favourites which seem like it was last year, well it was! No but really December seems like it was ages ago so it's weird making this.

eos Lip Balms- December was the month I fell in love with eos lip balms as I got a 5 pack for my birthday. I love these lip balms because they're really moisturising and I have had really damaged, cracked lips and these have helped. I also love the flavours, especially sweet mint. These are really worth the money and I will repurchase for a long time probably.

WHSmith B5 Neon Notebooks- I think these are probably the best notebooks I've tried and that's saying something as I've tried a lot of notebooks. I really like these as the paper is good quality, the size is good (it's bigger than A5 but smaller than A4) and you can rip the pages out without ruining the whole notebook. The pink one is all my random thoughts and the yellow one is my blogging planning notebook.

Summer Fruit Oasis- In December I did drink a lot of Summer Fruit Oasis but I haven't had any in January which is weird but it definitely was a favourite back last in December. I know there is some sort of orange flavour however I don't like any orange drinks (apart from Fanta) so I haven't tried that. 

Along Came Betty Creams Of All Creams Body Lotion in Very Berry- Wow that was a long title! Body lotion has been an essential the last few months because of the winter weather, especially now as it's suddenly been freezing. I didn't like this when I first bought it as I thought it smelt like yoghurt but now I like it.

Secret Love Song- Little Mix ft. Jason Derulo- My favourite song of December (and also January) was Secret Love Song by my baes Little Mix and it also features Jason Derulo. I love how beautiful it is and the vocals are amazing. I'm so glad this is their next single!!! There is also a part 2 (which doesn't feature Jason Derulo) on the deluxe version of the album which is also amazing    

Get Weird by Little Mix- This has been the album I've been listening to in December and also January because it's amazing. I love all the songs on here and it's my favourite Little Mix album yet. My favourite songs are Secret Love Song, I Love You, Lightening and Love Me Or Leave Me.

Starbucks Raspberry & Blackcurrant Juice Drink- My favourite drink of the month was from Starbucks and it was the Raspberry and Blackcurrant juice blend drink which isn't very festive but I don't really like hot drinks (apart from hot chocolate) so I have been drinking this and the Summer Fruit Oasis. You can tell what flavour of drink I like!

Girl Online: On Tour- I got Zoella's 2nd book for my birthday and I really enjoyed it. I read pretty much most of it in a day as I got really into the story and I couldn't put it down. I know that's a bit weird to say for a teenage, girly book but they are the books I really can get into as I can't with books such as Harry Potter and Hunger Games.

Tesco Own Brand Cookies- I ate a lot quite a few of these cookies in December because they're really nice. I got these after my local Tesco stopped selling my beloved Rainbow Cookies and I'm happy I got these as a replacement but I'm not happy about the Rainbow Cookies. I've tried 2 flavours Choc Chips (the one in the picture) and raspberry and white chocolate.

Zoella Beauty Range- I tried out a lot of Zoella Beauty products for a review post, which is being uploaded on Sunday so look out for that, and I actually really liked a lot of them. I think my favourite products are the Zoella Lace Collar Purse (which is in the picture) and the Let's Spritz body mist.

P.S. Love Beauty Range from Primark- Again I tried out these P.S. Love products for a blog post which you won't be seeing for a while but I really liked using these products. I think my favourite products are the Lash Defining Mascara, the makeup bags and the liquid lipsticks.

So December is the month of vlogmas on YouTube and pretty much most of the YouTubers I watch done some sort of vlogmas so obviously I have favourites so I thought I would include them as they were a favourite of December.

Lily Pebbles- I think Lily Pebbles, a beauty vlogger and blogger, had my favourite vlogmas because it was real and I just feel Lily has amazing vlogs all year round as she does do weekly vlogs. 

Alex Denmon- Alex is already a daily vlogger but he made his vlogs really Christmassy and I really like that. I found Alex from Alex And Mia where he vlogged with girlfriend MamaMiaMakeup and then they split up but now I really like the vlogs without Mia. 

Sprinkle Of Glitter- Louise from Sprinkle Of Glitter done vlogmas on her second channel Sprinkle Of Chatter and I really liked her vlogs because they had a lot of Darcy in and was a good example of the festive season with kids.

AlishaMarie- I always include Alisha as a favourite and for my vlogmas favourites that's no exception for vlogmas. I liked her vlogs as I got to see an American Christmas as well as a Hawaii trip which wasn't very vlogmas like but it was still cool.

Anna Saccone- I've always been a bit meh with Anna and Jonathan from the SacconeJoly's but I actually really liked Anna's vlogmas on her own channel. At first she was kind of copying Zoella with a main channel video every day but then she changed to vlogs which was better as I prefer them.

Now let's move onto January as that is the month we're supposed to be making a favourite post for. Sorry this is a long post so I hope you'll still here.

Zoella Beauty Let's Spritz Fragrance Body Mist- I've really enjoyed wearing this, this month as I'm in love with the Tutti Frutti scent; I'm going to be sad when this collection gets replaced with a new one. It's really fruity which I love as I love fruit scents. I also love the packaging with the pink liquid and lace background.

Primark Slippers- I bought these slippers in Primark right at the end of December and I have been wearing these all the time as they're so comfy and I love the design of them. They actually have memory foam which is a bargain at £2 because I got these on sale from £5 which is still a bargain.

New Look Bag- This is my most worn bag of the month because I love it so much. The size is great because you can fit everything you need in it but there's not enough room to chuck in junk. I also love the baby blue at the sides as its something you wouldn't expect with nude but I think it goes well.

I Love... Minty Choco Chip Bath & Shower Gel- I think this is the best selling shower gel EVER! I love the smell of mint choc chip ice cream and this smells exactly like it. I got this from Primark but they only sell 100ml bottles so I need to find somewhere that sell bigger bottles as I love this scent so much.

Superdry Blush Montana Backpack- This backpack is so cute! You might know I'm obsessed with florals so this is perfect for me. There is a really good amount of space which is good for school as this is my school bag. They are quite expensive but I would say they're definately worth the money.

Lush Bath Bombs & Bubble Bars- I have accumulated a lot of Lush bath products in late December and January so I've been using them and I've really liked using them. The blue bath bomb is one of my favourites ever and it's Intergalactic and the bubble bar below is Milky Bar; I don't have a favourite yet as I haven't tried many.

Washi Tape- Washi Tape. A bit of a weird favourite but I have been using washi tape quite a bit this month so I thought I would include it. I want to build a bigger collection as I don't have that many but I feel like it's quite expensive for a pack. I've seen Hobbycraft have some cute designs and I have some with cute designs from Sainsbury's

Stationery- Again a bit of a weird favourite but I have really been liking using stationery and how cute it is. Hopefully you have seen my Stationery Haul (Link) and I talked about how I bought loads of stationery to help me get motivated and I can tell you I am and I also have cute stationery!

Blogging- This point goes along with my last favourite about stationery and I have really enjoyed blogging. I have quite a lot of posts on schedule which is good because it makes me less-stressed and if something happens or I get blogger block, there will still be posts going lives so you're not missing out

Spaghetti Bolognese- One of my favourite meals of January has been spaghetti bolognese so obviously I need to include it. I never really liked bolognese before because it has beef but I can't really taste it so I've been eating it quite a bit along with my next favourite which you already know it is.

Pizza- Pizza is always a favourite for me but this month it has been a big favourite. I know I haven't been sticking to my new year resolutions, especially with pizza, but I'm taking these resolutions as goals so I'm going to change that now. My favourite pizza is Goats Cheese and Pesto pizza from Iceland which is in my 2015 Favourites.

So that was my December and January Favourites. I hope you enjoyed it and are still reading it as it was super long. If you would like more updates follow me on Twitter and Instagram @_louisecarter_
