My favourite videos to watch on Youtube used to be favourites videos, so I’m bringing that energy into this post. I’ve been trying a lot of new products lately and wanted to share them in a Winter favourites collection! I had a long holiday break, so I was able to do lots of shopping, reading and catching up on TV shows and podcasts. Here’s what I’ve been loving lately.

Beauty
I like to switch up my perfumes based on the season, and I was previously using the Vitkor&Rolf Flowerbomb, which is great for Spring and Summer. I wanted a stronger, mustier scent for fall and winter, so I ordered the Maison Margiela REPLICA Whispers in the Library perfume. It’s warm, spicy and woody, and smells exactly like an old library. It’s my everyday perfume at the moment.
I have natural blonde hair, but it’s been a bit brassy lately. I use the Verb Purple Toning + Hydrating Mask once a week, but I wanted a product to use more often. I purchased the Dry Bar Blonde Ale Brightening Shampoo and the Dry Bar Blonde Ale Brightening Conditioner. I use it twice a week and it’s made a difference in the tone of my hair. It’s much brighter and cool toned.
I am OBSESSED with the Sunday Riley Good Genes All-In-One Lactic Acid Treatment. I previously used it once a week as a 15-minute mask, but I recently started using it as a daily nighttime treatment. I noticed a difference in my skin the day after using it. It’s crazy to think that it works that fast, but my skin was smoother, even-toned and incredibly soft. The product is expensive, but it’s worth it. Read my in-depth review of the product here!
I’ve seen so many people rave about the Living Proof Perfect Hair Day (PhD) Dry Shampoo and I needed to try it. I usually use Batiste Dry Shampoo, but decided to splurge to see what everyone was going on about. I’ll admit, it is a great dry shampoo. It smells great and makes your hair look fresh, however, I don’t think it’s worth the price or all that different from Batiste. But, I do love it and will continue using it until I run out.
The Rare Beauty Soft Liquid Pinch Blush is another product I use daily. It’s so pigmented, glowy and natural looking.
Clothing & Accessories
Dainty gold jewellery is my go-to look, and two new pieces I’ve been loving are thick gold huggie hoops and a Kate Spade gold chain link bracelet. Both are staple pieces of jewellery that I can wear almost everyday to add something extra special to an outfit.
I got a Sage Wellness Weighted Eye Mask for Christmas and it is incredible. It feels so heavy on my eyes and knocks me out into the best sleep ever. It also reduces puffiness around my eyes. I highly recommend it if you have trouble sleeping at night.
I bought a few blouses on Boxing Day that I’ve been obsessed with and have been wearing them almost every week. I’ve been in love with the Frida Printed Satin Shirt from Dynamite ever since I saw it online. I paid full price for it, but that’s ok because I love it so much. It’s classy and elegant, which makes it great for the office or an evening out.
I also bought the Abercrombie Oversized Poplin Button-Up Shirt in green stripes on Boxing Day and I love the preppy vibes. It comes in other bright colours that I think are so perfect for spring.

I listen to podcasts when I get ready in the mornings and I’ve been listening to Second Life and What We Said religiously. The podcasts are easy to listen to and relatable. I listen to Second Life when I need some morning motivation and I listen to What We Said when I need cheering up.
For TV, I’ve been binging The Sex Lives of College Girls, Succession and the Gossip Girl reboot. Next I’ll be watching the new seasons of Emily in Paris and Cheer.
A few books that I’ve read recently that I loved are Daisy Jones & The Six by Taylor Jenkins Reid and Beach Read by Emily Henry. I’ve also been loving this Sage Wellness journal that has daily prompts.
I love your winter 2022 favorites. I did not know about all the beauty products that you shared and I have to give them a try. I binged watch Emily in Paris and I will look at Cheer next.
I really need to get some hair products to help my hair out too! My blonde is getting a little brassy so this was a great reminder to make an order 🙂
