Januray Favourites!

Hey hey everyone! So, I kinda got this weird idea from other blogs and vlogs online... and it's to do a a "favourites" post once a month on just things that I have been loving the past 30 days.. It's totally for fun and it can be anything.. hair and skin care products, kitchen gadgets, a new magazine I discovered, bath and body stuff, a new recipe, home decor stuff, whatever!! Anyway, here goes... this is some of the things I have been really liking this month... This is one part totally lame and one part kinda fun... Oh ya, and comment back to me and let me know if there has been something you have been loving this month! (It's January.. we all need a little something to help get us through, right?!?!)

So this blow dry lotion has been a life saver for my hair in these dry Alberta winters we have! I don't flat iron my hair very often, but I guess it would work if your into that too.. Anyway, it's pretty thick lotion-y stuff, but I have thick hair (that's gets all-kind-of frizzy and dry and gross in the winter!!) so I might not be able to use it in the summer; probably would be too heavy... anyway, this has been a hair saver for sure!!
And this little gadget is a tea-bag grabber... hahah.. I'm sure there is a more sophisticated name for it, but that's what I call it! Tea was my best friend through a couple weeks of a really really bad sore throat and cough, so this little thing made my life so much easier! I got it at Peir 1 (actually, Tyler picked it out for me! ha! An unexpected, but lovely, surprise!) and I'm sure all you tea-lovers (Molly!) have one! Is there a better name for it than tea-bag grabber..?? haha Actually, I think it can hold loose tea leaves, to because the tension on the handle is pretty good!
I debated putting this one up, but I thought what the heck..!! ha! January is a brutal month for me for getting up and looking refreshed... anyone else with me on that?? :o) But this little eye gel roller thing has CAFFEINE in it!! Faking 8 hours of sleep (even when I get 10 hours.. I go to bed at like 8pm in Jan!) was never so easy! But ya, if you need a cup of coffee for your eyes, this is definitely the way to go!
And last but not least is Tyler's "toy of the month".. he got this as a gift from a friend and has been zooming around the house non-stop all month... so far, he has managed to fly this thing into my fresh-cut flowers, the cupboards, our dog's face and my HAIR even!! But he is getting better.. thank goodness! It's actually fun to watch him fly the little thing..! I guess you can say it's grown on me..... sigh..
So, yea, just some fun stuff I've been loving this month.. oh ya! I forgot to put up a picture of my Vitamin E body butter from The Body Shop... it has been a skin saver this month for me too! My sister-in-law actually got it for me for my birthday back in October, and I have already gone through 2 tubs of it! ha! So, that's on the list, too!
So what about you guys?? Tell me anything! Maybe you discovered a new coffee blend or a scarf you're loving or a new app for your phone or whatever!!!! :o) Hope you all had a cozy January... here's to a new month!
Cheers, Jess

Okay, I totally want a tea bag grabber! And I've seen so many people loving the eye gel roller with the caffeine. I might have to try it. Can you BELIEVE that I JUST discovered under eye concealer? I know... shameful!
