My first favorite of the month and really my yearly favorite is this planner from ban.do. This planner not only keeps me organized but is so pretty and fun that I plan more than I probably should. The planner has stickers so you can spice it up and little activities to do each week. You can find other planners like this one here → https://www.bando.com/collections/planners

My second favorite is the love & beauty glitter gold nail polish. I really enjoy the subtlety of the gold but the shine of the glitter. This nail polish is also good on top of other nail colors for some 'pizzazz'.
The books I have been loving this month are an amazing read and ones that I highly recommend.

| Get these books! |
the sun and the flowers by rupi kaur is a journey of a book that anyone can relate to. There are five different sections: wilting, falling, rooting, rising and blooming. As you can tell by the titles of each section, the book starts out sad but becomes super empowering. I highly recommend this book as well as her other book milk & honey.
The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck by Mark Manson is an amazing read! Like so amazing you should get a copy right now! This isn't your typical self-help book, it's raw, real and makes you rethink all those other self-help books you have been reading. Seriously, get this book.
On to a few songs I have been loving. Each song evokes a different emotion from feeling yourself to a little sultry to thinking about the person you love. I added the youtube links to these songs so you can give them a listen.

My next favorite is the show grown-ish. If you have seen black-ish then you can only imagine how good grown-ish is. This show follows Zoey as she starts her first semester at university and all the things one is faced with during their first semester. Just give it a watch. You can catch the show Wednesdays at 8pm EST on Freeform or Thursday anytime on Hulu. If you are a Spotify premium member and in college, you can add Hulu to your account for free so there is no excuse for you not to watch grown-ish.
My last and final favorite of January is the app Duolingo. Duolingo is a free language learning app where you can learn many different languages. I am currently learning Spanish and it is so fun! You can do a lesson a day or many lessons a day. You can join a language club and meet other people around the world who are also learning the same language as you. The best part of the app is that it's free! After Spanish, I plan on learning many many more languages. You can find the app in the AppStore or in the GooglePlay Store.
I hope you enjoyed my favorites of this month! Come back at the end of each month to see what I have been enjoying!
