This month I’m sharing some of my favourite items to kick start the year. I’ve included a few beauty items, some tried and true items I love, and a few things that are in my cart.

Let’s start with beauty. I have been bouncing around from foundation to foundation and it was time to try out another one. I’ve had my eye on the Westman Atelier foundation for quite a while now, and took the opportunity to try it out. I have been using their contour stick, highlighter stick and lip gloss for a few months and I am a huge fan of all three, so I was sure the foundation was worth a try - it was! Just a few days in and I’m already obsessed. I’ve found that applying it with a dense brush is the best application method for building up to your exact desired finish. This past year I tried the Aerin Rose de Grasse Perfume, and it’s quickly become my every day go-to. With spring fast approaching, I want to try the Mediterranean Honeysuckle scent too.

Getting back into my workout routine has been tough! What better way to get your tush back into the gym or fitness studio than a new pair of Bala ankle weights? These little ankle weights are so comfortable and weigh just a pound each. Sounds like a little, but they really add an extra intensity to any workout - or even just a walk!

January is all about the basics for me - including in my wardrobe. It’s the perfect time to take stock, get rid of some old things, and add some new. I love this white linen smocked midi dress - it’s perfect for spring and summer. And this Celine shoulder bag will go with just about every spring outfit! These little leather pouches from Cuyana are such a beautiful color and are the perfect option for organzing your purse (keeping things like lip gloss or pens from leaking inside!)

For the home, there are a few new items that are in my cart, that I think add the perfect spring touch! I love this striped pillow, this raffia textured pillow, this vase, and this print!

Here’s to starting a new year right!
