January Favorites.
A peek at everything I’ve loved in January 2026!
FOOD
Jeni’s blackout chocolate cake. I had never tried this flavor of Jeni’s until December. Well… now it’s practically a food group.
Bubbly tiki sunrise sparkling water. This is a new flavor and when I saw cherry and orange, had to try. It is SO delicious.
Salted honey latte. I’ve been making this latte at home: brewing espresso over honey and a pink of flaky salt, with a shake of cinnamon. Then I whisk it up and pour it over ice with whole milk. It is so incredible. I look forward to it every day!
HOME
Red light therapy lamp. I got Eddie some panels for Christmas, but I love that this is a lamp that can shine down. I use it daily!
Fridge deodorizer. I can’t even explain how well this works. It’s supposed to last ten years and I think I’m on the two or three year mark. It is exceptional! And frankly, looks better than a box of baking soda.
Heart taper candles. I can’t even handle how amazingly cute these are. I love them!
BEAUTY
Charlotte Tilbury Blush Stick. I have the lilac and the bright pink and mix both everyday. I love these shades for winter!
Dedcool mochi milk. I have the travel size and love this fragrace so much. It’s warmer and more gourmand that the xtra milk (which I also love), but not too sweet!
K18 airwash dry shampoo. Nothing will ever replace crown affair as my #1 (the best best!), but sometimes I’m in a major rush and need a spray, and I LOVE this. I also really like the scent. It works so super well! It is not aerosol and I like that too.
Laneige Glaze Craze in raspberry jam. I have worn the link pink shade for months, but LOVE this one for winter with no make + just mascara. It’s so bright and fresh.
FASHION
Gap oversized cotton sweater. This might be my favorite item I’ve worn this season. The quality is amazing, it is so timeless and classic. I have it in three colors. I hope it lasts forever!
Butter essential long sleeve. I’ve always had a mental block against aritzia, but grabbed something on a whim back in November while at the mall. Then I found this buttery long sleeve top and LOVE it. The morganite pink color is my fave. It is so great! I ordered more colors too, like the blue, chocolate brown and black.
Miramar sweatpant jeans. I hate to say that I tried the viral sweatpant jeans and actually love them. My entire life I’ve hated spending money on jeans because they never fit right. Well these are ridiculously comfortable and so cute and don’t look like sweatpants at all. I’m shocked! Also, apologies to your wallet!
MEDIA
Let’s be real, Heated Rivalry is still taking up my #1 spot because I’ve probably watched it 25 times through. But I also watched His & Hers and absolutely loved it!
The Heated Rivalry playlist on spotify is also on repeat. I need to get off this rollercoaster but I love it!
The Correspondent. Loved this one so much this month!
KIDS
DIY fortune tellers book. I loved these as a kid and it makes me giddy that Emilia has discovered them!
Micromags mini magnatile sets. These are a lifesaver on our big activity/sport days. Jordan and Emilia love them. Max still does too, though he is usually playing the sport!
Mini Brands fridge playset. Ugh I have such a love/hate relationship with mini brands (the kids love them, I think they are junk) but they got this fridge set for christmas and they love it. It is super cute!

So I also don’t want to get off the Heated Rivalry rollercoaster lol. I went back and read books 3, 4, and 5 in the series. Absolutely loved them. All of the characters are in The Long Game so I will probably go back and reread it now. Tough Guy (book 3) was my favorite. Hoping the each get a spot on the next season!
Been following you for years! If you love Heated Rivalry you MUST see @ethanforyou on TikTok. He watches episodes with his 90 yr old grandmother, who is outrageous!
The tiki sunrise bubly is so good! Between that flavor and the Bellini Bliss, I don’t miss soda anymore (gave it up for 2026)!
