So for me January is the month where you hibernate, I am ridiculously poor at this time of year so can’t afford to do much and the weather is either freezing cold or pouring with rain! January is all about indulging in home comforts so for me I have been going to circuits 3 times a week first thing in the morning so on my nights off I can come home from work and just relax.
My favourite place
on earth is my bed, this love has increased since my friend bought me an
electric blanket for my birthday. I know this makes me sound super old but it
is the best invention ever! So for the past couple of weeks I have been
arriving home and just snuggling on my bed. I have recently signed up to Netflix
again and am hooked on watching ‘Pretty Little Liars’. I know I’m late to the
party but I am currently on season 3 and its soo good! I’m thinking ‘Sons of
Anarchy’ next but if anyone has any other Netflix suggestions let me know?!
I’ve also
been reading ‘The Power of Habit’ by Charles Duhigg – I’m about half way
through and it’s fascinating. It looks at how we form habits and how we can
change those habits into new ones. I can really relate to it at the moment as a
lot of my new years resolutions this year were about changing my habits into
healthier ones.
The other
thing that keeps me entertained during an evening at home is ‘The Tattoo
Colouring Book’, it’s an adult colouring book!! I’ve had it for a while and
find it so therapeutic to pick up every so often and just colour in the
pictures. Did you know you can get tons of different colouring books for
adults?! I didn’t till recently and am already deliberating over which one ill
get next when I’ve completed this one!
I tend to
complement my cosy nights in with a ton of herbal tea! I gave up coffee around
10 months ago now and try not to have much monkey tea. I feel so much better
for it! I’m also a huge fan of candles and am still burning my Yankee Candle Christmas
candles, so there are usually a few of them on the go too!
I love summer
and can’t wait for the lighter evenings to arrive however I’m going to enjoy
the guilt free cosy nights in while I can! Do you like to hibernate too? What do
you like to do to treat yourself during this long cold month?
