hi guys so I haven't done one of these videos in a long time it's been a couple
months since I did a favorites video so I have a whole lot to talk about today
one of the main focuses that I've had in the month of January has really been
health focused I think a lot of people kind of feel that way as regards to like
New Year's resolutions and stuff and so I have been really focusing on my water
intake and on my fitness and I'm also trying to like help my limited diet with
some vitamins I usually know my stuff as far as vitamins and supplements are
concerned but I usually end up with just a whole cabinet full of like leftover
bottles that I'm not taking anymore so my friend "Chrissstttiiine" on her channel
featured Care/of and it was really cool and I thought that the process looked
really fun to take like a quiz to see like what exactly you should be taking
then I got to talking with them and they're gonna give you guys 25% off your
first order with the code"Bethany" and so I've got all the details down below
in the description so it comes in a little packet like this and you get
these little pouches for everyday use and they put your name on it and it just
got all of the different things that meet my lifestyle needs for how I filled
out my quiz and the quiz online is really fun to take because I'm a
designer like what I do for a living is I make websites and everything
functional and I make apps and so when I see an awesome web app process I
just get really giddy about it and so this was just really fun for me I
learned a lot too the stuff that they recommended with stuff that I hadn't
heard about before a couple of things that I'm taking is astaxanthin I think
it's pronounced it's the algae that makes flamingos pink and that type of
thing and so that was recommended to me and also I am taking a prenatal vitamin
I have a cousin who was a Ford model and that was one of the main things that she
would take while she was modeling is a prenatal
and I also I'm just taking it because I want to kind of prepare my nutrition for
when I want to have kids and maybe a couple years so just kind of doing that
right now that was kind of the process for how it worked for Care/of for me and
I also just really think that the packaging is cool
this is a lot less waste for me than having all of those bottles like I
really have a ton and like just I don't even know like how to mix those
necessarily anymore so this is really cool I can just take all these no they
work together well and then another thing that I've been doing a lot for
this month as well as like so January February
I really reach for some kombucha and this is the only flavor and kind that I
get it's the GTS Synergy Organic kombucha in the ginger berry flavor the
other flavors are okay but this one just is so amazing anytime I've had a cold I
will drink a bottle of this and at least for another four hours I'll feel almost
completely a hundred percent and so I usually just drink like half a bottle of
this a day while I'm trying to get through these flu months and plus it
just kind of tastes like a soda because I don't really have a lot of sodas so
this is just a way that I kind of feel spoiled a lot of ways and I've actually
made my own kombucha a few years ago and that was a science experiment I I'm not
gonna do that again so I'm happy to just like buy one of these at this store now
their focus for me and January has I've been really getting the itch to like
organized and redecorate my place Zack and I actually looked around like two
different parts of the country and also just downtown different parts of our own
neighborhood to places that we might want to live for the next year but we
really just saw potential in the place that we're living now and we're just
kind of having fun to like redecorate a bit so you might notice little things
popping up randomly that you haven't seen before so I'm gonna do an actual
video on that once we get like everything settled the way that we want
it to look just wanted to mention that because I'm sure you guys are noticing
little tiny changes another really cool thing that happened
month is that my friend Anne from "Beauty Bitten" you guys should check out her
channel but she does a lot of like beauty stuff and she sent me like a care
package just bursting with all of these different beauty items and like personal
care items and some hair stuff and I just was like overwhelmed but I am
actually gonna do like a beauty like get ready with me type of thing soon with
some of those pieces but a couple of things that she got me is the Hourglass
lipsticks so they actually come in little tubes like this and she gave me
like six colors they come like this but you can also get it with this applicator
that's very glam and it's like this gold long thing that looks almost like a
cigarette holder but then you can kind of refill them with these little things
and so these ones actually have a lipstick in them and I really like the
different colors I have all different colors like really bright red ones and
some more muted ones and pinks so yeah I have a lot to show you guys later but
that was just so cool like this huge thing that she gave me full of like
awesome things like she is awesome and so generous and it's the least I can do
to just say you guys need to go check out her channel because she is just a
burst of LA sunshine honestly so one thing you might have noticed in my last
video that I did which was like a try on haul is that I've really been reaching
toward Rouje a lot like it's now one of my newfound favorite brands just for the
tasteful style that it has it's very elegant very feminine and I've just been
really enjoying it and I'm also like becoming a huge fan of Jeanne Damas and
just that she founded this brand just makes it all better so this one I will
feature because it's just something that I got recently that I really like out of
all of the Rouje shirts this one is the anna black satin blouse and it's really
cool because it's like a wrap it's got these strings around it that just kind
of cinches the waist it's got the puffed sleeves a little bit and it's just
really feminine and something I think all of the rouge tops will be so great
for like a date night look I've also been wearing this with the
Pamela Card necklace which I'm not wearing right now but the Pamela Card
necklace is 24 karat gold plated and it's got silver underneath it sterling
silver and then it's like hand-carved they're just really extremely detailed
and personal and beautiful and they're kind of heavy too which is nice because
you kind of feel the weight of that in the chains you can choose which length
of a chain that you want to wear and I've been wearing it with like every
single outfit and I've had a lot of like trouble trying not to wear it every
single day I've been like okay I gotta wear something else today especially
because on Instagram you guys see my outfits every single day and so I don't
want to like get too repetitive to where I'm wearing the same thing but yeah I'm
telling you guys if you choose to get this necklace it's going to be something
that you're gonna wear like every day and I feel like coin necklaces are
really popular right now too so this next item is something that I've been
waiting a long time to try to find the perfect one and I finally found it and I
am petite I'm five foot one and a half so things like this can easily overwhelm
me but it's a Teddy coat which I've been seeing everyone wear all over and this
one is from Reformation so it uses deadstock and this one in particular is
for petites it actually says 5'2" and under on their website but they all
should they also have one that is for like regular sizes as well I love this
one because it's got these little boat toggles on them I think that is so nice
and it's not something that I would necessarily talk like tie together
unless I really was cold I've also been really surprised to how warm this is
well I'm also surprised how light it is it's very warm and it feels like the
weight of a teddy bear and like the days where it's been really cold and I wear
this I actually feel really warm like not a lot of wind will penetrate it or
anything I don't get too many things from Reformation and I don't know why
like I'm really happy with the whole experience from them it's also really
soft next I have to about The Greatest Showman because I've
actually gotten to the theaters twice to see it is the music is just so amazing
and it's been like number one on all the charts for a long time I believe and I
can definitely see why like everything is really inspiring and motivating not
only the music but also the movie in general I was motivated afterwards to do
a lot of things like I just really inspired me to make more videos and to
really press in on any creative things that I have going on and I just really
found that it was inspiring too because it wasn't all about lights and fame and
stuff but it was also about family and and there were just so many good vibes
from it that I just think we're something that anyone can relate to and
I just liked the whole thing because a little bit historical fiction so one
thing the sec and I are thinking about doing in like a year and a half or so is
we're gonna go on our first trip abroad together and I'm actually thinking about
going to Paris so if you guys have any advice for me I would really appreciate
it as far as like traveling abroad or like things to do there and this is all
just kind of like not set in stone yet but we're looking at like just the
logistics of it and kind of dreaming about like where we want to stay and
stuff so one thing that I'm doing is I'm learning French on Duolingo I've learned
a little bit of German on Duolingo and I really liked the experience and another
reason why I'm kind of like my mind is on France and Paris right now is the
book that I just read which is The Nightingale by Kristin Hannah
and as you can see it's got a full Tower like right there this book actually I
didn't really know what it was going to be about my aunt actually let me read
this book this copy of hers and I loved it so much that I might have to get a
second copy and for my own so I can give this one back to her this is my first
Kristin Hannah book but apparently she's written lots of other incredible ones I
haven't experienced that so if you like Kristin Hannah and you have like
recommendations for what else I should read from her I'm really interested to
know when you find a good author you want to read everything they've ever
written honestly guys I haven't done a book review in a really long time so I
promised you guys that in my next favorites videos I would talk a little
bit about one and this one beats them all out of everything that I've read
recently it's about two women who are living in France they're sisters and
it's during World War two I didn't know when I picked this up that it would be
about World War two I just kind of didn't even read the back or anything I
just like went into it you know there's a lot of books out there that the first
hundred pages are so dry and like building up to who people are and who
this person is and you're like have no context of why you should even care but
this book was not like that like every single page was not dull and everything
kind of had to do with each other and that's what I really appreciate in
writing I generally like historical fiction because it takes accounts that
really happened in real life like the author said that these things that these
women did that were so heroic real people in real life did do those things
obviously these people didn't exist verbatim a lot of people in World War
two a lot of women you really don't read about what they did and you don't really
hear about them in history books so the stuff that she found out about she was
so equal parts enraged that she would not have heard of this until when she
did a lot of research she was enraged that and that stuff wasn't publicly
known or taught and then she was also really excited to be able to feature
heroic women during World War two like a lot of people have said you're
gonna cry in this book and i blubbered like I was reading this by myself and I
just started crying a lot anyways I could go on and on about this
book but it you know it's actually supposed to be a movie I found out like
this January and I'm really excited to learn more about who's going to be in it
and everything and I'm trying to like not tell anyone what happened because
even if they might not read the book I really want them to see it in a movie
for him and it's just gonna be really intense
I think so you guys know that I absolutely love the Maison Louis Marie
perfumes I've gotten quite a few of them in a perfume oil I got the Bois de Balincourt
number four and then I also got like sample sizes of a lot of different
ones that I just like to wear depending on what I'm going to be doing you know
there's times where I will wear perfume only on date nights so that whenever I
wear it I kind of like I don't know it's kind of a sensory thing where I know
what I'm going to be doing and I wear some perfumes for when I'm going to be
working and it just kind of puts me in that vibe in that mood and so my
favorite though is the Bois de Balincourt number four so I ended up
getting a perfume spray as well as like I've had the perfume oil in a while for
a while and why I've gotten both of them is that I've read that if you wear a
perfume oil with the perfume spray the scent will just last like all day and so
yeah so that's one thing that I've just kind of read and known it doesn't matter
what brand it is so one more thing I have to talk about because like you know
I haven't done a favorites video in a while and right before I left town for
vacation for Christmas I didn't get to show you guys this box full of treasures
that Everlane got me they sent these out to a few people and it says for a
special human and everything inside has to do with our 100% human collection so
I'll give you guys links to everything that's included in here so that you guys
can go and check out those items but it was just really cool because the whole
experience was really fun to receive this it's got a hundred percent human
almost a year ago we launched our campaign to celebrate what unites us and
champion equal rights we're just getting started so they gave me like a
sweatshirt and a tote and a t-shirt and like lots of cool things so yeah I'll
link all that down below and that's pretty much it for my month of January
and I'm really excited about what February is gonna bring lots of like
home decorating stuff is gonna happen I hope you guys have an awesome February
and I'll see you guys next week bye
