I have decided to start doing monthly non-bookish favourites. I think it is fun to talk about things other than books on this blog every once in awhile, and I figured this was a great way to do it! I will talk about all of the movies, TV shows, music, food, etc I loved during the month.
Black Panther
If you have seen Black Panther then you will not be surprised to see it on my favourites list this month! It was so epic, and wonderful, and I loved it. The acting was stellar, and it really solidified my love for Micheal B. Jordan- he is incredible! It was very unique for a Marvel movie, and I appreciated that so much. I will probably be seeing it again before it leaves theatres.
Wonder
I read and loved Wonder in January so of course I had to watch the movie. I did not think it would be as good as the book but I was wrong. I think they did a brilliant job! I was just as invested in the story and I might have been even more emotional watching the movie versus reading the book! If you loved the book and have been hesitant to watch the movie, watch it! I don’t think you will regret it!
Cheapest Weddings
This is so random, but I was sick one day and found Cheapest Weddings on Netflix and I figured it would be a easy show to fall asleep too. I was wrong! I became addicted to this show and ended up binge watching it. I do not know what it is about watching people try to have a wedding on a budget that is so interesting but I was riveted.
The Olympics
I am sure a lot of us watched the Winter Olympics this month! As a Canadian, the Winter Olympics are where we shine! I adore Scott Moir and Tessa Virtue, and my obsession with their ice dancing and their relationship is boarding on unhealthy at this point. I have watched every interview they have done. They really are Canada’s Sweethearts!
Quiche
I have always loved quiche but have never made it for myself. I decided to try and make my own crust as well and it was a success! I used Paul Hollywood’s recipe for the crust and then I just threw in my own random ingredients. I believe I added eggs(obviously), green and red peppers, onion, and turkey bacon to this particular one!
Strawberry Mascarpone Pie
I wanted to make something festive for Valentine’s Day and when I saw this Strawberry Mascarpone Tart recipe on Pinterest it seemed like the perfect thing to make! I love mascarpone and I was proud with how my tart turned out. It was very light and delicious!
Hot Mama Blush
I actually found this blush for a great price at Marshall’s so of course I scooped it up! It is such a beautiful colour in person, and is a perfect blush for everyday. I have been wearing it every single day since I bought it! Also the packaging is adorable, which is no surprise since everything from The Balm has cute packaging!
Audiobooks
/audio-books-56a324b93df78cf7727c00f5.jpg)
I have finally discovered the joy of listening to audiobooks! I know that this is supposed to be non-bookish favourites but I just had to mention it anyway! I listened to two audiobooks this month and I loved the experience. It is so nice to be able to listen to a book while cooking, cleaning, etc.
Blogging Mug
Look at this mug!!! Isn’t it perfect? This was a gift and I just love it. Pretty much everyday is a blogging day for me so you know I will be using this often. I thought it was such a thoughtful gift and I will definitely cherish it!
I can’t believe I have no music to share this month! I think it is because audiobooks have taken over! I am okay with that!
I would love to know your favourite things in February!
Omg I need that mug!
Isn’t it great?!
Aren’t Tessa and Scott Everything?! I know the world loves them too, and that’s ok. But they’re ours! 🇨🇦 😂
It’s so true! They make me so proud! I went to university in London, ON and met them a few times but I just really started to appreciate them this summer. I am so sad it was their last Olympics!!
You went to Western?! God that’s so close to me!! Was I aware that you’re Canadian? I feel like I was but I’m so confused anymore. I live not too far from Sarnia 🙂
It’s SO sad this is their last olympics! I could use me a little more of Moir 😍
Yes I did!! It’s so hard to keep track. My dad is from Sarnia! I have a ton of family there and my family has a condo in Grand Bend. I’m there every summer!
No way!!! Hmmm maybe a grand bend summer blogger meet up? Such a small world!
We really should. It is such a small world!
Let me know when you’re headed this way and I’ll try to clear a day 🙂
Love this series!!! Looking forward to reading them. Also. . . serious case of mug envy.
I’m so glad you enjoy it! I have fun writing it every month! I love the mug too!
Love this! As a canadian the winter olympics really do make my patriotism come out, and Tessa and Scott were simply brilliant!
It always makes me so proud when I watch them. They are insanely talented and just seem like awesome and humble people!
I love the mug! I still need to read Wonder. My oldest daughter loved it so much and we are hoping to watch the movie too. I must read it first though. Your recipes look so delish! Thanks for sharing, Kristin. I loved this. <3
Thank you so much! I love the mug too! You have to read / watch Wonder. They are both fantastic! Have Kleenex ready!!
Ah, I FINALLY got to watch Black Panther yesterday, and I absolutely loved it! My friend and I were extremely entertained while watching it. XD And I’ve really been loving Michael B. Jordan lately; he’s such a geek. I actually didn’t watch the Olympics once, and I feel like the only person who didn’t, to be honest! I saw a lot of Twitter reactions, though. 😀
Black Panther blew away my expectations. It was definitely very entertaining. Michael B Jordan is too adorable!
I read a lot about the Olympics on Twitter too. I just watched a lot of these clips on YouTube.
I love your Non-Bookish favorite lists!! 🙂 I still haven’t seen Black Panther and it will be a while before I can watch it so I’m suffering a bit, because I have heard nothing but praise 😱 I also haven’t watched Wonder, even though the book is the first thing I read in 2018!
The Mug looks so pretty 😍😍😍 It’s perfect for us bloggers 😀
Thank you! Ahh you’re going to love Black Panther when you finally get to see it! Wonder was amazing! The mug really is perfect!
I definitely have get myself into my local cinema 😀
I loove mugs, I should probably get a cool blogging one from society6 🙂
Ahhhh I really need to see Black Panther! I’ve heard so many amazing things about it!! And yes, I was obsessed with the Olympics! I love Tessa and Scott. I remember watching them the last two Olympics, and I’m so glad they won again!
The Black Panther was fantastic! You will not be disappointed!
Tessa and Scott are just adorable. I love them!
Audiobooks are also my favourite the past few months. That strawberry mascarpone pie looks beautifully delicious! It’s been a while since I baked a pie, it’s so fun and the results are always better than store-bought ones 😀
I am so happy that I am getting in to audiobooks!
Homemade pies are definitely better than store bought! They can be a lot of work but I think it is worth it!
Your food looks😍😍😍 also I love that mug!
Thank you!! So do I!
Black Panther was awesome and so was Wonder. I also read the book and was skeptical about seeing the movie but they did a really good job with the movie. And I love your Blogging Mug! It’s so cute.
They Both were really great! I was so happy with Wonder! Isn’t the mug great?!
I like your wrap up! I’m off to see Black Panther Friday (I feel like I’m the only one who hasn’t seen it yet… I’m a little worried I won’t like it because of all the hype 😕)
We’ve started comparing things at work to Scott and Tessa’s relationship haha. They are amazing and they work so well together!
OMG that mug is adorable!!! I’d ask where you got it, but alas it was a gift! I want that mug! 😀
Thank you! I think you will not be disappointed by Black Panther… it is that good! I really love Tessa and Scott! I will see if I can figure out where the mug is from!
You’re welcome! Good to know, Friday is fast approaching! 🙂
Oh if you can’t find out, it’s okay! 🙂
OMG BLACK PANTHER!! Such a fantastic movie!

I love it too! Ah I am so excited for you to see Black Panther. I think you’re going to love it!
Wonder was an AMAZING movie! Also, I need to check out Cheapest Weddings. I’ve always loved wedding shows (mostly Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings), so I know I’ll get into it. 😉
I love Say Yes to the Dress and Four Weddings too!
