January was such a good month—hit so many of my personal and wellness goals. If it started this strong, I can’t wait to see what the rest of 2025 brings. Sharing my beauty, fashion, and lifestyle faves from the month.
January Beauty Favorites
- Hero Cosmetics rescue balm: I’ve been breaking out more than usual and, I won’t lie, I’ve been so bad about picking at my pimples… yikes, I know. But this spot treatment has seriously been a lifesaver – it helps my skin bounce back way faster after a breakout.
- Evian spray: I tried everything to stop my skincare from pilling – applying serums on damp skin, layering thinnest to thickest, waiting between steps – nothing worked. Now, I just mist with Evian before applying serums and again as the last step of my skincare routine – ever since, no more pilling. Honestly, never thought I’d see the day my skincare finally stopped pilling.
- Tend Skin solution: The amount of ingrowns I got in my bikini area from back-to-back waxing was wild. I had to take a break to let my skin heal, and this solution made such a difference. I used it daily for two weeks, and it cleared up most of my ingrowns. Definitely a must if you do hair removal often—it helps keep your skin smooth and stops those itchy ingrowns before they even start
- Cyclar body cream: I’ve always been a fan of Claudia Sulewski – been watching her since the BeyondBeautyStar days, and she just seems like someone who smells amazing. I have Sacred Santal, Bergamot Bond, and Crescent, and they each smell so good in their own way. Sacred Santal is warm and sophisticated. Bergamot Bond is bright and fresh, but still calming. Crescent is fruity and floral, yet warm and sensual. Honestly, it’s impossible to pick a favorite. Even my boyfriend loves the formula because it absorbs so well into the skin – and he’s usually strictly a Cetaphil guy. I feel like Cyclar scents are the perfect unisex fragrances.
- Dave by Henry Rose perfume: I never used to be a vanilla girly, but lately, I’ve been obsessed. Dave by Henry Rose is a gourmand floral vanilla, but it’s not that overly sweet kind – it’s creamy and warm, with just the right balance of floral notes. Super impressed by how long Henry Rose fragrances last, and I love that they’re unisex.
- Dyson Airwrap: It’s worth it. I know – it’s pricey, but trust me on this.
January Fashion Favorites
- Rothy’s Buckle Clog: So comfy and so easy to clean. I was torn between Birkenstock clogs and Rothy’s, and I’m so glad I went with Rothy’s. I’ve scuffed them a few times times, but the marks wipe right off. Plus, they’re super comfortable and actually have great arch support.
- Abercrombie Low Rise Ultra Loose Jean: Low rise jeans are back bb!
January Lifestyle Favorites
- Hot workouts: Hot Barre, Hot HIIT, Hot Pilates – anything hot workout-related, I’m all in. I love a good sweat, and these classes always make me feel like I’ve actually moved my body and gotten a solid workout in.
- Cleaning schedules: I used to do one big deep clean every Sunday, but it would take up my entire day, leaving me no time to relax. And honestly, sometimes I’d skip it altogether. The best switch I made was breaking cleaning into different days and setting daily, weekly, and monthly tasks. It’s so much more manageable. When my environment is messy, my mind feels cluttered too – so finding a routine that actually works has been a game-changer.
- 40oz water jug: This helps me hit about 90oz of water daily without constantly refilling my cup. Plus, it fits in my cup holder, so I take it everywhere. For me personally, drinking from a straw just makes hydrating easier. I’m currently using a generic one from my boyfriend’s work, but linking a the Brumate that’s currently in my cart! Love how it’s spill-proof and I can just throw in my gym bag.
