What I Used
All through January I've been suffering with the worst, driest, most chapped lips and hands that anyone could imagine. I have two lip saviours this month, Carmex Cherry (an old favourite) and Body Shop's 'Glazed Apple' lip balm (a new favourite). Carmex worked miracles for me at the start of the month in calming down the flaky, peeling mess that was my bottom lip (beautiful image for you all there), and the Body Shop lip balm has been perfect for moisturising and keeping my lips smoothy smooth in the last half of the month. Just to add, both of the smell incredible.
What I Wore
I don't really have anything major to put here as I've just been bulking up on the layers because it's FREEZING here. I have got really into dark blue jeans though, previously having been one that preferred black jeans over anything.
What I Read
I couldn't decided between The Maze Runner series by James Dashner or the Percy Jackson series by Rick Riordan as my favourite so I've cheekily mentioned them both. I read the last two Maze Runner books and the first two Percy Jackson books in January. My family absolutely love both series, and they're probably two of my favourite series of all time. Basically my two new favourite series are aimed at twelve year old boys and I have no regrets.
What I Watched
Wolf Hall started about half way through January on BBC1 or BBC2 (can't remember). The Tudors are my favourite period in history and you can't not love historically accurate fiction. Wolf Hall is a fantastic story, the cast is perfect and it's well acted; a warning though, it is very confusing as everyone is called Thomas.
What I Listened To
It's no secret that my family are very big on country music. I think I've mentioned this before somewhere but we recently discovered Kacey Musgraves, who is fab. Her song 'Follow Your Arrow' is incredible and I challenge anyone not to love it. (Unfortunately I can't find the CD box to photograph it)
I mentioned Kacey Musgraves and 'Follow Your Arrow' in my 'New Year's Playlist' post in early January.
What I Ate
MEATliquor, MEATliquor, MEATliquor. The most incredible burger place in the world. They specialise in meat and liquor (obviously- though you don't have to be over 18 to eat there). It's loud, you can't hear yourself talk, all the lights are red, you can't see what you're eating and the music is incredible. It's amazing. It doesn't sound appealing- the food is so unbelievably greasy and you eat it off kitchen roll- but the food is literally to die for it's that good. It doesn't sound amazing, but ohmygod it so is.
