January Favorites

Oh January is always a little dull right? After all the glitter of the holidays it is a time to be quiet and stay home… and maybe get organized? I have been trying to do all those things… I have a ways to go on the organization front but I am getting there!

So here are this month’s favorites… yep, 3 TV shows on that list!

1. Olaplex No. 7 Bonding Oil – I really like the Olaplex line and keep going back to it. I think it is strengthening my hair and protects from all the heat styling. I mix the oil in with a leave-in and it makes my hair shiny and smooth.
2. Kuhn Rikon Retractable Shears – These were a stocking stuffer and I have loved these for cutting up kale for salads!
3. The Defined Dish by Alex Snodgrass – I was lucky enough to receive a copy of this delightful cookbook… there are SO MANY GOOD RECIPES! Clean and healthy but fun. There is even a kid’s favorite section- I still have to make the “Cheeseburger Meatballs”!
4. Acrylic Frames – I have been loving these acrylic frames- they make the photo the focus and look great in a group!

5. Something in the Water: A Novel by Catherine Steadman – I raced through this one! A good page turner!

6. Rummikub – We call it Rummytile in my family and it is our FAVORITE! We have been playing this on repeat and my 9 year old loves it!
7. Wipe-clean Placemats – My mom gave me these for Christmas because she knew I was wishing for them. They are as fantastic as I thought they’d be! Attractive AND easy to clean!
8. Farmhouse Pottery Salt Keeper – This was a gift to myself. I love all things Farmhouse Pottery and I needed a salt keeper! This looks great on my counter and makes salting while cooking easy!
9. Cup 4 Cup Gluten Free Flour – This has been my favorite GF flour as of late. We have been making pizza dough from Alison Roman’s “Nothing Fancy” a ton and this works perfectly!
10. You (Netflix) – The 2nd season of You dropped right before New Year’s Eve and we binged the whole thing in about 3 days… just as creepy as the first season and very entertaining!
11. Good Girls (TV)- Netflix – I randomly started watching this series while folding laundry and it was surprisingly good. Christina Hendricks, Mae Whitman and Retta make an amusing team of suburban moms who stumble into a life of crime. First two seasons are on Netflix and the third season with premiere on Feb 16th on NBC (so catch up quick!) .
12. Truth Be Told – Yes, another TV show… it is January after all! This is an AppleTV original with Octavia Spencer and Aaron Paul. It is an excellent crime thriller about a podcaster who second guesses her original theory about a murder.
13. Slamwich – Another excellent family game… my kids love this one!
14. The Child by Fiona Barton – I really like Fiona Barton’s books! This one was just as good as her other ones!
