January Non-Bookish Favourites

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.

Mary Poppins Returns

Emily Blunt was absolutely brilliant as Mary Poppins- I really do not think anyone else could have done the role justice. I will never get over her Oscar snub! I thought this movie had all of the charm of the original and was visually beautiful. I loved all the nods to the original Mary Poppins. Lin-Manuel Miranda was incredible as Jack. The music was also really good, if not as catchy as the original music.

Creed II

Technically I saw this movie in December, but I didn’t get a chance to talk about it so had to take this chance to rave about it! Creed II is the best movie I saw in 2018. I didn’t think it could get any better than the first movie, but Creed II far surpassed it. There is just so much freaking heart! I cried when it was over!

Instant Hotel

Instant Hotel is an Australian TV show that is on Canadian Netflix. It is a competition show where homeowners who have converted their places in to Airbnb’s stay in each other’s homes and individually judge them. It is binge-worthy and I enjoyed every second of it! There was way more drama than I was expecting!

Conversations with a Killer: Ted Bundy Tapes

As you will see in my wrap-up tomorrow, I read The Stranger Beside Me by Ann Rule this month. It is about Ted Bundy and it made me even more interested in his life and his crimes. Conversations with a Killer is a docu-series that was just released on Netflix and I think it really gives you an insight into the kind of person that he was. It gives me chills just to think about! I am very much looking forward to the movie about him starring Zac Efron.

Someone You Loved by Lewis Capaldi

Lewis Capaldi has an absolutely beautiful voice. There is something very bittersweet about this song and I have listened to it more times than I can count this month.

Head Above Water by Avril Lavigne

I used to adore Avril Lavigne! Sk8er Boi was my jam back in the day! I was so happy to see that she was making a new album and that her the song Head Above Water is a hit. It really is catchy and quite powerful! I can not wait for the whole album!

Farmacy Cleansing Balm

I will never remove my makeup with wipes ever again! This cleansing balm removes my makeup so quickly and leaves my skin feeling smooth and clean. I have tried a few other similar balms and non of them compare to this one. A container last for a long time so it saves me both money and is better for the environment since I am not throwing out two makeup wipes every night.

Too Faced Tickled Peach Mini Eyeshadow Palette

This little palette has become my favourite! It is very compact and sturdy so it is great for travel, and there are so many looks I can create with it. Emily Noel suggest that the pink colour can be used as a blush and the light colour as a highlight, which I have done and it looks beautiful. It smells like peaches, which is a bonus for me but I know will turn some people off.

Marshmallow Fireside Candle

This used to be my favourite candle but I haven’t had one for years. I received one for Christmas and was instantly reminded why I love it so much. It has a smokey but sweet scent that fills the room. I highly recommend it!
