February Favs

February is coming to a close, and goodness did it go QUICKLY. Time seems to be going faster than I can seem to comprehend! BUT, I definitely had some things that I really fell in love with this month and I’m so excited to share them with all of you!

1. Kind Blueberry Granola

This feels like a bit of a repeat (oops) because I mentioned these KIND Blueberry & Vanilla Cashew Bars in my last post, but I just can’t seem to contain my love for all things KIND. This blueberry clusters granola is basically like the granola bar in cereal form (which means you can have more, right? Or eat it as an entire meal? I think that’s a yes). It’s got lots of grains and flax in it and is so much healthier than many of the really processed cereals on the market nowadays. YUM!

2. Radha Beauty Essential Oil Diffuser

If you haven’t jumped on the essential oil train, now’s the time to get with the program!  I love this little diffuser from Radha Beauty – especially because you can get it for UNDER $20! Pour a little water in it with a few drops of the essential oil of your choice and get ready for some relaxation! Lemon essential oil is my favorite, but lavender is also great if you want to relax. This lil’ guy also has several different diffuser modes and it changes colors too for some extra fun!

3. Madewell Linen Paris Tee

Cutest little top for lounging around or a casual day out. I love the quality of anything Madewell and this top is no exception! Definitely a casual staple piece in my spring/summer wardrobe!

4. Love Does by Bob Goff

I’ve probably written about this book before, but Bob Goff is my FAV. I love reading, but sometimes I can be scatterbrained and read the first part of a book but never finish it. Lemme tell you, I have read this book from COVER to COVER at least three or four times now. It’s just that good. Not only does it have so many inspirational stories, but it really challenged me to live taking more risks, having deeper passion, more joy and a little bit of crazy too! Haha! Also, Bob leaves his personal cell phone number in the back of the book so you can call him and talk if you ever need to. I have NEVER heard of an author doing this, but I’ve had friends who have called him and he actually answers and talks about life or answers questions about struggles. I cannot recommend this enough!

5. Yankee Candle Capri Coast Peach

I’m a big fan of Yankee Candle because I think they last longer than some other cheap candles and actually have a scent when you burn them. This Capri Coast Peach is my latest favorite! It has this fresh, bright scent that transports me to a peach grove or an island somewhere. I rarely by multiples of the same candle, but I did buy three of these that I have as backups for when I finish my current one. I wonder how much of my salary goes towards candles….

6. Avène Hydrance Intense Rehydrating Serum

My skin has been horrendously dry and rough with all of this bipolar weather in DC lately. I’ve tried so many different creams and oils to try to keep it moisturized and healthy and I’ve definitely found some winners lately. My favorite currently is this intense rehydrating serum. I just smear a little on before I go to bed and it is definitely more moisturized and soft when I wake up in the morning. I also put some underneath my foundation if my skin is particularly dry that day and it has really seemed to help me!

7. Birchbox

I’ve definitely talked about Birchbox before (and no, I am not sponsored to say any of this). I just LOVE the samples that they send and the little boxes are always SO cute. I recently tried three of the most popular beauty subscription boxes and compared them – check out this post. I loved all of them, but Birchbox seems to have more products overall, plus they send a unique blend of things. I’ve received everything from dry shampoo, perfume samples, eyelash curlers and makeup…you name it! It’s only $10/month and they always seem to have coupon codes to add extra bonus items to your box or even an entire extra box for free!!! It’s like a little birthday or Christmas surprise whenever it comes to my door each month! YAY!

8. “How I Built This” Podcast

I stumbled upon this podcast a few weeks ago and I am OBSESSED. Guy Raz interviews entrepreneurs, innovators and idealists to dive into the stories and the people behind some of the world’s greatest companies. Most recently, I’ve listened to his interviews with the creators of Kate Spade, Instagram, AirBNB, Warby Parker and so many more. Their stories are so encouraging on how these individuals were able to persevere despite seemingly insurmountable obstacles. After each episode, I feel so inspired with the grit, determination and creativity that each of these people displayed to create these incredible companies. SO INTERESTING.

And that’s it for my February Favorites! Have you tried any of these? What have you all been loving this month? Let me know in the comments!
