I seriously cannot believe that it is already January! Where did December go? My time back home was certainly not long enough!
Here is what I have been loving this past month.
I ran out of a lot of my everyday products, so I used this opportunity to try some new things! First up are the Aveeno Clear Complexion Daily Cleansing Pads. My sister had forgotten to bring her face wash when she came to visit, so she ran to CVS to grab something easy. She grabbed this, and I'm so glad she did! I always thought that these pads were kind of like fancy-shmancy make-up wipes, but boy was I wrong! You get your face wet, then you use either the exfoliating side or the smooth side of the pad to cleanse your face. It works up a lovely lather that makes your face feel super clean! When you're done, you just throw the pad away!
My second favorite is another face product. My face has been surprisingly clear as far as break-outs go, but I have awful red spots from the scarring. I don't pick at my face or anything, but any blemish leaves a red spot that stays for ages! Enter Kiehl's Clearly Corrective Dark Spot Solution. My scars have improved tremendously! The reason I have been so dubious to purchase this product has been the price, but from what I can tell, you get your money's worth!
My last favorite treatment product is the Clinique Moisture Surge Extended Thirst Relief. The one I have is the oil free one, and let me just tell you, my face is in LOVE! I generally try to avoid anything that is supposed to be intensely hydrating, because I either end up looking like an oil slick, or it breaks me out. This product, however, has been my skin's savior this past month! It absorbs quickly, and it's the first gel moisture product that hasn't left my skin feeling tight after using it! Bravo Clinique, bravo.
My next favorite is a bit random, and a bit weird, but whatever. It's deodorant. I have started buying men's deodorant because it is so much cheaper than women's. I have have been loving Old Spice's Hawkridge deodorant and antipersperant. It smells amazing, and works. 'Nuf said.
My new favorite foundation is the NARS Sheer Glow Foundation in the color 'Deuville.' I talked about it in my Sephora haul post, so I won't go into too much details about it here. Basically it's amazing.
My other makeup favorite this month has been Tanya Burr's Lipgloss in the color 'Chic.' It is a perfect neutral shade, and I just love it a lot!
I actually have two favorite movies this month. One has actually been around for ages, but I only just saw it for the first time this month... and then proceeded to watch it another three times! It is Nowhere Boy, the movie about John Lennon with Aaron Taylor Johnson *swoon*. I thought it was incredibly well done, and it helped me choose my favorite song of the month; an early recording of the Quarrymen (the Beatles before they were The Beatles) singing "In Spite of All the Danger." I will link a recording of it in the movie caption.

My book favorites this month have been a series of books by the author David Eddings. They are some of my favorite fantasy novels I have ever read. I just can't put them down! I completed all of the books below in just a matter of days! They are essentially a good vs. evil type series, but the writing is beautiful, and the world that Eddings creates is so incredibly intricate and realistic. He makes magic seem plausible. I love them!
Last but certainly not least, my people favorites are my friends who I got to visit while I was home: Lacey, Alex, Wei-Wei, Aaron, Max, Christopher, Eri, Shion, Kevin, and several others. They make me so happy, and they inspire me everyday with what they are doing <3
What have been some of your favorites from the past month?
