Hello to January 2025! This month has been interesting to say the least but luckily we made to the end of it! It's been an up and down ride for me- but I'm happy it's getting easier. But enough of an intro, I'm gonna share what I've been into (because let's be honest that's what you really came for- if not then why are you reading this intro?) for this month. Everything in here has been so complimentary to this wintry month (not that I'm not complaining any). So, let's get into it!

Favorite Body Care and / or Skincare product:
Bodycology Winter Vanilla Body Wash + Lotion/Cream: This was such a nice, subtle vanilla scent and it made my skin feel super soft after using. I'll link the body wash: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bodycology-Winter-Vanilla-2-in-1-Body-Wash-Bubble-Bath-16-fl-oz/5503587916?classType=REGULAR&from=/search; the lotion/cream: https://www.walmart.com/ip/Bodycology-Winter-Vanilla-Cream-8-oz/5492440280?classType=REGULAR&from=/search
Favorite Book(s) I've Read and / or listened to as an audiobook via Spotify:
Little Women by Louisa May Alcott: This was such a wholesome, classic book- filled with sweet, tender moments and then some sad moments. The book focused on love between these four sisters- no matter how they showcased it- and I wasn't mad about it at all. I'll link it- https://www.target.com/p/little-women-puffin-in-bloom-by-louisa-may-alcott-hardcover/-/A-79275337#lnk=sametab
The Hunting Party by Lucy Foley: A murder mystery in the Scottish highlands during New Years'? Sign me up! Anyways, this book did have a bit of a slow build-up (only criticism I had with this book) but gradually got better towards the near end of it. I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Hunting-Party-Novel-Lucy-Foley-ebook/dp/B07B7LLJLZ/ref=sr_1_1?crid=3M14TY8WVSD3I&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zCsV8Um6u-pTm_-EyPNOeUyML0p9l6llEHzAg9GHfjtNrUWYCUocvdnFZqWNG9YFVKD94jc7Apk5bNAN1aolrlvwPUNyZtqxs8zSrSVNX5gKmG1oXdxYeQ_mAeINcfegJLRNYcNTy3R7KP6FuLf948q5wZczyDnTZesfN-MluYe0fHn9UEgXRCmEfWb1Wa8cNRvicJoiVosCXkHzpzzTieFPUr_3HWahC-cvNdI6N5M.-o1m-He-fj-tsnMFJIPhEMXdArg5qe1gILPnjLyTTXA&dib_tag=se&keywords=the+hunting+party+by+lucy+foley&qid=1738260677&sprefix=the+hunting+part%2Caps%2C93&sr=8-1
You Shouldn't Have Come Here by Jeneva Rose: This book I wasn't super sure about in the beginning, but it gradually got better towards the latter half of the book (didn't see some of those plot twists coming while I read this). I'll link it- https://www.target.com/p/you-shouldn-t-have-come-here-by-jeneva-rose/-/A-91483558?preselect=88062591#lnk=sametab
Beautiful Ugly by Alice Feeney (my January 2025 BOTM add-on): This book- WOW! It was full of twists and turns- a lot I didn't see coming! Definitely don't want to be on a deserted island for too long... I'll link it: https://www.amazon.com/Beautiful-Ugly-Novel-Alice-Feeney/dp/125033778X/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&dib_tag=se&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.FW0P9IkNH7aGfd1cK7R4m8xreb5y161NxgjniJ_J74w97j-VQoqu5Oxc8gel_4qIOJlDC_jiJjrdHT_lAhk5Y5BYc3Gui6LPCVCRqSLx64zvNNBh0wobkV-aXUfZY7VKDhTvyA5qRVD8wiuW9J40ezigf7jlLwXVw2N7oVgSlgpWQYWUeJKfS2CHyCFgsAgCqQPHdFW-5PopsH08jD-MzbScIh-D_21cbc6rRhzWvMk.xI4iq6Iav3cwDA_J12OkED6zPr_qwD9QMXzTvnGgxyE&qid=1738260766&sr=8-1
The Three Lives of Cate Kay by Kate Fagan (my January 2025 BOTM pick): This read I was hooked from the time I started until it ended. I loved finding out who this persona of Cate Kay was- it was very fascinating to me! She had to what she needed to do in order to protect herself after an accident with her friend, Amanda, when they were driving cross country to pursue their acting dreams. Made me laugh in bits, and my heart ached for all the lovey-dovey stuff (what can I say? I'm a sucker for that stuff). I'll link it- https://www.target.com/p/the-three-lives-of-cate-kay-by-kate-fagan-hardcover/-/A-92388331#lnk=sametab
The Five Year Lie by Sarina Bowen- listened to this via Spotify audiobooks- This was such a thrilling read to listen to! Kept me guessing until the near very end- enjoyed it very much!
