Aloha! Here is my little list of my favourite things from February! 

Food: I've enjoyed a few different things this month. I made a pretty amazing pot of chilli which was just delicious. I doubt I'll be able to replicate it though haha! I've also been loving anything Mexican! I think I'm getting excited for my holiday to Mexico in just 11 weeks time! Countdown is on!

TV Show: I re-signed up to Netflix this month so I've been watching lots of stuff on there! My 2 favourites at the moment are Better Call Saul and The Good Wife. 

Song: This is always a tough one! I think I'd say FourFiveSeconds by Rihanna, Kanye West & Paul McCartney. Such a strange combination of artists but it really works. If you haven't heard it yet, go look it up on youtube.

Beauty Product: I've recently changed shampoo brand to Aussie and it's great! It leaves my hair smelling amazing for ages which is something I've never had with any other shampoo brand!

Candle: In case you hadn't guessed by the picture above, it's gotta be both Jelly Beans & Bunny Cake from Yankee Candle. I got these as a gift from the other half after I was unsuccessful in getting a promotion at work (I have been offered a different job though so it's not all bad). These are from the easter range and they both smell amazing! 

Event: Yet again, nothing much has happened this month, however I would say going to London for the weekend has been my favourite event from this month! We had a lovely time and enjoyed sampling some of the cool bars and restaurants!

My favourite things: January

Aloha! So the first month of 2015 is over already! I have a feeling this year is going to fly in just as quickly as the last few! I have decided to change my monthly roundup posts slightly, and this is what I've come up with! Hope you enjoy reading these as much as the old format! 

Here are a few of my favourite things from January

*cue sound of music sing a long*

Food: I would love to write chocolate here but I'm supposed to be on a diet! I've been making a pretty awesome chicken pie whilst dieting. It's so good, I think I've had it every week! You can find the recipe here. 

TV Show: I've just started watching Fortitude on Sky Atlantic. It only started last week but I'm already quite hooked! It is rather graphic so I don't recommend if you have a weak stomach! 

Song: This is rather difficult as there have been a few that I've been playing non stop! I've been loving Uptown Funk by Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars (who doesn't love this song?!), Blank Space by Taylor Swift and Elastic Heart by Sia. Who's shocked there is no Ed Sheeran this month. I am! 

Beauty Product: Still Lush's Snow Fairy shower gel! I'm almost at the end of my 1st of 2 bottles *cry face*. I just love the smell and it clings to your skin longer than your standard shower gel! 

Candle: It wouldn't be me without having a favourite candle of the month! If you follow me on instagram or twitter you will have seen I've been on a huge candle spree in January! I would have to say my favourite one from this month is my berrylicious Yankee Candle! Fresh blueberries. Yummy! 

Event: I'm not going to lie, January is a dull month. The dark and cold nights mean I just want to be snuggled up in bed by 9pm. However the highlight of this month was my trip to Amsterdam! You can find my blog posts on that here and here.

Let me know what you think of my new format for this post! :)
