My 10 January Favorites: What I Actually Loved & Used This Month
January was all about ease, comfort, and products that truly showed up for me. Nothing over-the-top, nothing trendy just for the sake of it, just real favorites that made my days smoother, cozier, and a little more elevated.
From beauty staples to wardrobe pieces I kept reaching for, here are 10 things that carried me through January.
1. Stanley The IceFlow Flip Straw Tumbler
Hydration is always the goal, but this tumbler makes it effortless. I love how lightweight it is, the flip straw is super convenient, and it keeps my drinks cold for hours. It’s been my constant companion, at home, in the car, everywhere.
January is not the month for overthinking meals, especially being pregnant. Factor really saved me. The convenience, the flavor, and the fact that the meals actually feel balanced made this a no-brainer. Less time cooking, more time resting and getting things done, win-win.

3. Kiehl’s Better Screen UV Serum Sunscreen
A sunscreen that feels like skincare? Yes please. This serum-style SPF layers beautifully under makeup and doesn’t leave a white cast or greasy finish. It’s lightweight, hydrating, and easy to use daily, which means I actually stick to it.
4. ISEE Hair Kinky Curly Half Wig
This half wig has been such a good find. The texture blends beautifully, looks natural, and gives me volume without a ton of effort. Perfect for days when I want my hair to look done but don’t want to do the most.
5. Coach Faye Large Shoulder Bag (Bone)
This bag has been everything. The bone color goes with everything, and the size is perfect for carrying all my essentials without feeling bulky. It’s polished, practical, and elevates even the simplest outfit.
Winter skin requires serious hydration, and this cream delivers. It leaves my skin plump, glowing, and moisturized all day long. A little goes a long way, and the glow it gives is unmatched, especially during colder months.
7. Paula’s Choice Peptide Plumping Gloss Balm
This lip balm/gloss hybrid has been on constant rotation. It’s hydrating, smooth, and gives just the right amount of shine without being sticky. Perfect for everyday wear when I want my lips to look healthy and full with minimal effort.
Listen… these are cute and comfortable. The platform gives just enough height, and they’re easy to slip on and go. I’ve worn them for errands, casual outings, and days when comfort is the priority but I still want to look put together.
Comfort is non-negotiable, and this bra understands the assignment. Supportive without wires, flattering under clothes, and comfortable enough to wear all day. It’s one of those pieces you forget you’re even wearing and that’s the goal.
10. Spanx Air Essentials Half Zip Top & Wide Leg Track Pants
This set deserves a standing ovation. Soft, flattering, and effortlessly chic, it’s perfect for lounging, traveling, or running errands while still looking polished. The wide-leg pants are especially good and comfortable but elevated.
January didn’t need big changes, just reliable favorites that made life feel easier and more comfortable. Every item on this list earned its spot, and I’ll definitely be carrying many of these into the rest of the year. Share some of your January favorites with me in the comments below.
