Feb Faves!

So - time for February Faves! This month has been lousy cold, so my focus has been on what warms me up... body, mind and soul! :o) What warms you guys up?

Firstly and foremost, this gal is a huge fave for February! Well, not just this month; all the time... :o) But this month was extra special because the lovely JessC cleaned out her closet and so kindly thought of me to take a peek through the "give-away" pile... Out of everything, I put THREE (that's it!!) things back in the bag (remind me to give these back to you, Jess) and I can't wait to mix them into my wardrobe! Her style rocks, too: 1 part boho, 1 part vintage for a totally layered cool look... Love it!

What's this, you say?? Just hand soap??? Oh no, my friends, it's so much more than that! When I first unscrewed the lid at BBW to smell this frosty pink mixture, I though the scent was ehhhh, ok. At best. Minty, refreshing but nothing spectacular. (The only reason I got it was because it was on sale.. haha) BUT! When you add water and friction somehow this new scent appears. Yes.. the scent of chocolate. And it smells like an After Eight factory exploded in my hands and it takes all my will power not eat. it. all. up. Seriously. It's that good. Every time I used this soap all I could think is, "I can't wait to put this in my February favourites post." haha. I'm such a nerd.


YAY! I love this lip balm/gloss (C.O. Bigelow from Bath & Body Works) soooo much! This has been a favourite for about 2 years now, but it has been extra beneficial this month against the nasty wind and bitter cold. It's literally called "My Favourite Lip Balm" and is exactly that to me. It's got Sweet Almond Oil and Shea Butter and all kinds of yumminess in it! (Kimberly: you have such good taste in lip balm!! ha! I was giggling when I read your interview... Team Edward and now this.. ha! )

I have been loving this perfume all over again... Tyler got it for me for Christmas 2009 and as you can see I haven't used it much! I used to use it a lot when I first got it and then for some reason it got shoved to the back of my bathroom closet... which makes me so sad! Because I really really love it... the main notes are floral, which normally isn't me, but it's paired with citrus and a light musk and hmmmm... I love it! It makes me feel all warm during these wintery days... and plus, it's a gift from the husband... so every time I put it on I think it's him saying to me.. "oh PS, Jess, I love you... " is that weird?? haha

I feel like I am kinda behind on the headband trend, but I picked up these 2 (on sale!!) and I have been loving them!! They just add a little something when my hair feels so blaaahhhh.. which is a lot in the winter! ha! My mom got me the blue one from H&M and I got the white one from Aldo (stupid sale accessory rack is too close to the till... I'm such a sucker...) I'm normally a flower kind of girl when it comes to hair accessories, but I feel like I need a break from them... so welcome, headbands!! I surely am loving you!

This is not a fave for this month!!! This is just to show you all what it looks like in good ol' Alberta today! And just to show you why the next photo IS a fave... because on days like these..... (see below)

Tights are a girls best friend!! (and colourful ones at that!) Anything to brighten up an outfit, right?!? Most of these are Joe Fresh tights from Superstore, a few were gifts (the last pair on the right! Thanks, Candace!) and I just love them all! Thanks for keeping my legs warm and covering my pasty-ness. :o)

And last, but certainly, not least... my darling husband out shovelling... how can this not be a favourite!?!? Love him dearly... thanks for all you do, babe!

So, that wraps up February Faves! Do spill your "likes" from this month... Also, this month I have been really really loving my dog.. I mean, I always love her.. but this month she has been extra cuddly and just looking extra cute, too.. So, I heart you, Bronze! :o) Thanks for just being mommy's best gal pal...

Next post: a super fun challenge I stumbled across! I will be posting that tonight and I'm hoping some of you will do it with me!!

Until Next Time,

Jess xo
