Hey there, friends! As I was brainstorming new blog posts to incorporate into this year’s content, I thought it might be fun to share my favorite things from the month at the end of each month, as a way to review products that y’all have seen on Snapchat or in Instagram posts. These posts could also include my favorite iPhone app’s, computer programs, quick & easy recipes, or online articles that have stood out to me, as well. So, today, I’ll be sharing my January favorites! 🙂 

• NIKE SNEAKERS | It’s no secret that I love Nike sneakers, particularly the Juvenate style, so it shouldn’t be a shock to you that I incorporated the light gray and pink colors into my collection this month. Great news, too! The pink is 20% off with code SAVE20NOW, and the gray is currently $15 off!  They are both marked down … the gray are under $50 and the pink are under $70! Not too bad! 

• TULA EYE RENEWAL SERUM | I started using a new skin product this month and I’ve kept it under wraps until now so that I actually had something to say about it. This product is the newest addition to the TULA product line and I definitely think it has improved the skin underneath my eyes. It’s much smoother and I feel like I look less tired in the morning because it’s diminished those dark circles a bit. I simply apply it in a half circle motion underneath my eyes before I dab my eye cream on, after I’ve washed my face and applied my moisturizer. See the full explanation of my skin routine post HERE. 

SALE ALERT! Enjoy 20% off with code haleywinter20

• ATHLEISURE EVERYTHING | January has been a busy month of continuing to play catch up since coming back from being abroad, as well as reorganizing my apartment and brainstorming & planning for a fun year ahead here on S&T. So, style-wise, I’ve been gravitating toward comfort more often than not this month, as y’all have seen a little bit on Instagram. Remember this post from earlier this month? I’ve also started going after my health goals this month – as many others have – so the quality of those athleisure pieces are definitely being tested a little more than normal 😉

• BAUBLEBAR STATEMENT EARRINGS | Honestly, Baublebar is always killing it. They always have the best statement jewelry to compliment my outfits no matter the season. But, I’ve completely fallen for some of their new Spring statement earrings and I just cannot wait for all the cute Spring tops come out to pair them with! Here are the ones I currently can’t wait to wear:

• EVERNOTE & COSCHEDULE | Last week, on Snapchat, I shared that I recently fell in love with a digital marketing planning program called CoSchedule. It has boosted my confidence in being able to achieve one of my 2017 resolutions, to be more organized in planning out S&T’s content ahead of time. If you are a blogger looking to achieve the same, it might work for you. Every blogger is different in how they plan and stay organized, so it might not but I thought I’d share just in case! I’ve also been using Evernote to jot down notes for each posts before I actually start working in the draft. It’s my space to brain dump so I don’t forget to mention certain things. Also, this isn’t sponsored whatsoever – I just thought I’d share. I pay for CoSchedule and I’m currently using the free option on Evernote. 

• VALENTINO ROCKSTUD SANDAL DUPES | I mentioned in Friday’s post that there are a pair of super similar Valentino Rockstud Sandal dupes available under $35! I highly encourage you snag them now because they are just too good and I think they’ll be hard to find once the warm months are in full swing! 

• ‘LOVE’LY PAJAMAS | Valentine’s Day is around the corner and I’ve been seeing so many cute festive pajamas! I purchased THIS pair and will be featuring another pair I bought in Wednesday’s post! They are SO cute … so definitely come back on Wednesday to check them out

 

• CROPPED WHITE DISTRESSED DENIM JEANS | When I’m not in athleisure, I’ve found myself grabbing for these cropped white distressed denim skinny jeans. They fit so good and I think they’re a great Spring pair that are a little bit different than the ones that were out last year! I’m wearing them in today’s post! They run big, so size down if you like them!

• BELT TREND | This last favorite thing from January is a trend I’ve noticed that I really like. Belts seem to be all the rage right now! Wear them with your jeans or around your waist to cinch a dress, and know that you will look super up to date on what’s ‘in’! I just got this belt and this belt and I can’t wait to style them! Do you like this trend? Have you tried it yet? What do you think? Here are some great belts under $50:

And, that does for this months favorites!
