 Greetings, lovely people. Welcome back to my channel, Healer Home and today is time for another favorites video and this time it's a February favorites. Okay, we're just gonna dive straight into it and this are the things that I have been loving, the things that I have been quite mindful and intentional with as I have been using and have just felt like they've made a difference to my life. Okay, so the first one that I'm going to start off with is Audible. I'm a huge fan of reading. I have a Kindle. My kids have Kindles but another way that I love to read is using audio books as well. I'm a speed reader so I do have a tendency to read through very fast and so sometimes I can skim a book especially when the pacing goes a little bit slow but I find that with an audio book I am forced to listen to the whole entire story at the same pace and that creates a different reading experience for me and as humans we are auditory people because if you think about the majority of our history it was passed down already before we even started off writing so there is something magical about hearing a story being narrated to you rather than by actually reading it yourself. So I love Audible so I have been reading a lot on Audible. I use the app on my phone and it's so fantastic. I'm connected to my Bluetooth headphones. Currently I'm reading James A. Corey's Leviathan Wakes which is part of the expanse. Books I've watched the TV show which I loved and now I'm reading the books. Amazing. So that's Audible. The next thing that I've been absolutely loving and been very grateful has been these blue light filter glasses. Now I am sure that if you're on YouTube and you're watching this you are familiar with the concept of blue light and how bad it is for you in terms of how it impacts your sleep. I practice a very strong sleep hygiene routine so I don't have phones in my bedroom in the evening. I don't use devices for at least two hours before I go to bed but I do find that if I am sat in front of my laptop or the big computer the blue light does get into my eyes and I do find that even if I stop working on the blogs or on videos or anything like that around five o'clock I still do struggle to fall asleep but once I started wearing these whilst I'm doing my work I don't get that anymore. I don't get the eye fatigue so I can be editing videos for hours. I can be writing up blog posts for hours and I don't get the eye strain that I used to get because it's just filtering out the blue light you know so they're quite stylish as well. But yeah they're very useful. I ended up buying some for my kids as well so that when they're on their devices they can actually be filtering out the blue light. So blue light filters. So beauty favorites now I have this is just the cutest little eyeshadow palette. I got this from Superdrug so really great price as well and I love that and they come in different colors but what I really like about this apart from the size is that it is small. So over the past year in 2020 I was learning how to put makeup on my face and one of the things that I was learning to do was to do my eyeshadow and most of the eyeshadow palettes that were being recommended they were just so overwhelming because they would have like 12, 16, 32, 48 shades and I wouldn't even know where to start so I actually got a palette which was quite huge and I didn't even use it more than two times because every time I tried to use it I would get overwhelmed. Then I came across this little thing here and I use this all the time because it's so easy. It's so small there isn't too much thinking that's involved and I can create a relatively decent eye look so this is what I'm aware. So I've just been using this so much and I do plan on getting some of the other shades that they have in there. So that's ELF eyeshadow palette. This one was the rose. I think it was the rose berry or the rose tint but yeah I like it and I think it's a shade that I can wear with just about every single outfit that I have. So ELF. So the other thing that I have been loving a lot lately especially here in the United Kingdom where we've been having a cold snapping has been really cold and quite frozen and you can check out the tour of my winter garden in a video that I put out and you can see it over there you can see how cold it was and as somebody who suffers from brain or syndrome I'm quite cold in tolerance so I'm always looking for ways to stay nice and warm and snugly and this is where this aroma home soothing bag comes in okay. So I got this as a Christmas present from my mother-in-law she's really awesome. This is really amazing so it's got flax seed inside it and you can use this as a cold or a hot compress. I prefer to use it as a hot compress personally but you could put it in the freezer to get it cold if you've got some aches and pains or anything like that but I warm it up in the microwave according to the instruction and then I'll just pop it around here as I go to sleep and the best part is it's infused the flax seed feeling is infused with love and essential oil so it's like really good for relaxing and keeping calm and it also makes this really lovely ASMR type sounds so when you do this and even when you're squishing it so my kids love this and they want their own of this and they're available in different colors and all that and I love it and you can put it anywhere really so if you've got an ache on your leg or your shoulder you just you know either decide if you want to do the cold compress or the warm compress and you just pop it over there. So yeah I've been loving this a lot it's been getting a lot of use and a lot of love especially in the cold weather so the other thing as well with essential oils that I've been using to help with my sleep because sleep for me is the number one most important thing I do a lot of stuff to ensure that I get good quality sleep practicing sleep hygiene in some months one of those things and there are these sleep drops that I have been using for several years now and they're called sleep assist from mystics moment I think and it's an essential oil blend that consists of calming essential oil so it's got lavender it's got chamomile it's got marjoram and it's also got some lemon but the lemon is very mild it's very very mild but it's got a really nice and strong lavender and chamomile those are the more dominant essential oils and they're so incredibly calming and I love this so I just put a drop of this either on this if I'm using this or on my pillow literally every night I will put a drop of this on my pillow it is so relaxing so that sleep assisting essential oil blend I love it I actually need to get a new one now yeah yeah I'm down to about this much but a little goes along with as I said I've been using these now I've had this for I think it's about two years now about two years so I just do a drop on my pillow and then I'm good to go and while we're on the theme of fragrances I have been loving the Zara Discovery set so Zara does some really lovely affordable perfumes and I recently discovered that they've got like a fantastic range and in order to decide what to buy they also give you the opportunity to try them out with the Discovery set and this is only five pounds for five two mil samples and I liked this because it was big and it's got all of these in it and a two sample a two mil sample size I can get at least two weeks of wear for me so I thought it's a nice opportunity to try out the upcoming spring fragrances so they have deep garden lightly bloom nude bouquet cashmere rose and fills at nightfall and I have been loving this I've been loving thinking about what am I going to try this morning who am I going to be this morning and because these are audio toilets they're not very strong they're very light and sprightly and energetic and lovely but it's a nice cheap way of feeding the desire to try new perfumes and to buy new perfumes or new fragrances without breaking the bank because it's only five pounds but yeah I've been loving loving these and so this one is the nude collection they've got several different ones and I will be trying those as well and finally finally as we head towards spring I love flowers I love gardening and I've just been going crazy over these floral headbands right now I've got the red rose one but I've got the pink one and I've got the blue one so I've been building up this collection and imagine my joy when I saw the Chanel spring summer 2021 video showing the collection and they had a lot of the models were wearing the floral headbands and I love wearing the headbands and I've been obsessed with them in February especially looking forward towards spring in March so floral headbands are definitely something that I've been loving wearing and they just make me feel happy and whilst we're on the topic of winter the other thing that I've been loving a lot I've had to take it off because I'm wearing it it's my house shoes so I have had Ugg Bailey house shoes in gray for about six years now but they got a hole in them and I had to replace them because my toe was getting really cold and frozen because of the Ray Nodes syndrome I'm quite sensitive to cold especially in the extremities so I need to make sure that I always have something nice and warm and I got these ones instead of getting another pair of Uggs because well Uggs are quite expensive let's face it get that white elephant out of the room straight away so I was looking for Ugg like boots without the price tag and I got these ones from Larry Dude and these are so awesome because they've got an elasticated bow which means that they can fit around my ankle snugly which I didn't get before with the Uggs and these are super comfortable they're still fluffy and all that so they are supposed to be outdoor shoes but I wear them indoors in order to keep my feet nice and toasty but I have been absolutely loving these they've been worn every single day since I got them about four weeks ago so yeah that's my other favorites there okay guys so those are my February favorites you know lifestyle beauty things that I have been loving and adoring and enjoying using in February thank you so much for watching I hope that you enjoyed the video please do give the video a big thumbs up and subscribe if you haven't already really helps the channel and until I see you next time guys take care bye
