Although I’m still in the process of figuring out my day to day routine, there’s been some things I’ve become obsessed with this month! Some of them I discovered recently, some I’ve had for a little while, but regardless, these are the things that I can’t go without! So without further ado, here are my top 5 favorites of January 2021.
- Lucky Brand Suede Tan Booties
Of the purchases I made during the Black Friday sales last year, buying these shoes was by far the best buy in my opinion. Originally $90, I got these over 50% off! They’re cute and so comfortable, and I might have to buy another pair in a different color. These booties have been my go-to at work ever since I bought them!
2. 5 Year Memory Journal
I found out about these “Question a Day” journals watching someone on YouTube New Year’s Day, and I loved the idea so much that I had to go to Target and buy it that same day. It’s pretty simple, you answer one question everyday, and it’s really cool because once you finish one year, you start the next year answering the same question, but you continuously do this for 5 years to see how your answers to questions have changed over time. This has become such an easy habit to stay on top of everyday, because it takes less than 5 minutes. Some questions can be light hearted and easy, but there are some questions that make you think a little bit!
3. Electric Water Kettle
I bought this electric kettle a while ago, but I’ve been using it a lot during these cold winter months. Of course it’s just as easy to heat up water on a regular kettle, but I like having this electric one from Chefman way more! You plug it up to an outlet, fill it with water, then flip the switch where it has a blue LED light, like in the picture above. When the light turns off, it means the water is ready! I feel so nerdy geeking out about this kitchen appliance, but I love having this for heating up water for my tea! Once you go electric kettle, you don’t go back!
4. Blue Light Blocking Glasses
With my 8-5 job comes looking at a screen for prolonged periods of time. I thought it was time to buy a new set of blue light blocking glasses, and I found this 2 pack on Amazon for $12! I’m showing you just one pair because, well, the other pair is at work and I didn’t take a picture of both! I can get headaches pretty easily, like if I wear a ponytail for too long, I’ll get a headache easily. So the same applies with glasses. If I wear them for too long, my head starts feeling like I’m on the verge of a headache. I’m so happy I got these glasses from Gaoye because they are lightweight enough that they don’t bother my head after wearing them for multiple hours a day. My eyes don’t feel irritated, and they’re comfortable, which is super important for me to have glasses that are both!
5. Apple Airpods
I know Airpods have been all the rage ever since they came out, but I just got my pair for Christmas last month. And I must say, I do enjoy using them a lot. By far one of my favorite features is how the music stops when you take one Airpod out. Everyone loves to talk at you when you have headphones in, so it’s nice to just simply take them out and not continue having the music going and you still can’t understand what the person is saying! I have yet to workout in these, so I hope they stay put in my ears during those workouts!
And that wraps up my current January 2021 obsessions. I know it’s not even the end of January yet, but I wanted to share some of the things I’ve been loving recently! If there’s one thing I hope you try from this list, it’s definitely the memory journal. It’s around $9 at Target, and I’m so glad I started this year off with that purchase! Thanks for stopping by today, hope you all have a great and safe weekend!
