 What's up with this? What's up with my hair? This part of my hair never grows. Ever. It's just perpetually that length. You guys see that? You see that? So weird. I try to hide it. It's not working today. Well hello everybody and welcome back to my channel. Today we're gonna do a favorites video. I feel like it's been a really long time since I did favorites. Did I do a December favorites? I don't even know. But it is the end of January and it is time for some favorites. I'm super excited to share some of my favorites this month because there have been a lot of really cool things that I have discovered. Some things I've kind of rediscovered and I want to share with you guys. So let's get into this. So let's start with the planning category. I do have a couple of different items that I want to talk about. So let's get into this. So the first thing I want to talk about are these bad boys. These are the Erin Condren sticker sheets. I will be putting links below for you guys. There will be a link below for the Erin Condren website. There's a couple of Erin Condren products I'm gonna talk about. If it's your first time ordering through Erin Condren, you click the link, you sign up, create a profile and then what will happen is Erin Condren will send you an email with a unique coupon code. It could be instantaneous. It could take up to a day for them to send that to you. What will happen is they'll give you a coupon code for $10 off your first purchase and then once your item ships, I will get a $10 credit too which is how I can bring all of these lovely things to you guys and show you. So let me open up one of them so you guys can see. I love these things and I actually use these in my monthly budget videos. I'll link my money talk playlist down below if you guys are interested in watching it. But yeah, I really love using these in my budget. The reason being is just because I want my budget to be pretty or else like I don't want to do it. You know what I'm saying guys? I'm sure you know what I'm getting at. But anyway, it has these really pretty stickers on there and they're like they're a matte so you can write on this with a like ballpoint pen but I tend to use my permanent marker on them. The pens and markers that I use are always linked below for you guys as well under an Amazon link. So anyway, but I found that the marker works the best and it's really, really smooth paper which is really nice and I absolutely love these. So yeah, they're meant to fit the Aaron Condren style but you can really use this with any planner or any type of anything for that matter. Love these guys and they come in a variety of different styles. There's like this one which is just some pineapples and there's like a seasonal one. I don't even think they have this out right now but it'll probably be back in the fall of this year. So also speaking of Aaron Condren, I got these bad boys. These are the Aaron Condren dual tip markers. I really, really, really like these guys. The really nice thing is, okay, so let me show you the orange one just because to show you a colorful one. So there is like the fat tip on one side. Let's see, will it focus? Yes, it'll focus. So there's the fat tip on one side and this is called the medium and then there is also a fine point tip on the other. Also what's really satisfying about it is this like clicks into this very, very well. It won't focus for me so I'm just gonna do it like this so you can see they actually like marry into each other like perfectly and I love it. Sometimes you get pens that are dual tipped and then they like the butts don't fit together. It drives me crazy. If you're a planner person or just a person that just appreciates that stuff, you'll understand what I'm talking about. But these are really cool. Again, these are called the colorful dual tip markers and these are really, really nice. I did get these in the, I can't remember what it's called, the Aaron Condren seasonal surprise box, which I did order for January and this is not something I would have purchased for myself. I never ever purchased or received or even used any of the Aaron Condren writing utensils but these are very, very nice and I do really like them. Also speaking of planner things, I have to shout out my friend Katherine at Coffee Break Planner for these amazing stickers. She actually just sent these to me but this has to be a January favorites because I have literally been drooling over them for days and I'm super excited to put these into my planner. If you guys know anything about me, I am not really that into sports. It's really no secret but I love NASCAR. However, it's very difficult to find good race stickers that don't take up the full day. You know what I mean? There's these big ones and I'm like, I just want to note that the actual race is happening and then I actually went through my planner the other day and wrote out the entire schedule for NASCAR. I don't have cable so I just have regular network television and about half of the races are shown on network television which I will definitely be watching and the other ones are not unfortunately so which is fine but I want to like notate which ones are available for me to watch and which ones aren't so anyway but I love these. They're so cool. I love that there's like the racetrack all around so it's kind of like a confined little space and then the cool thing is is I feel like even if you put this in your planner you can always put in like other things like I literally do laundry on NASCAR day. Who's texting me? I literally do laundry on NASCAR day. That is like my jam. I love getting laundry done and just watching the race in between also sometimes doing like meal prep and things like that so but I love watching NASCAR. It is so much fun and these are beautiful stickers from Coffee Break Planner. I will leave her link below. I also have a coupon code for you guys for 20% off your entire purchase. If you are interested in purchasing anything through Catherine's Shop just let you know they are all matte removable stickers which are like totally my jam so make sure to use that code if you check out with her. So now that we're done with the planning category let's talk about the finance category. So this month I actually joined up with Financial Peace University. That's the Dave Ramsey sponsored program. Every Friday I have been doing an update. I've actually filming the update right after this so you'll be seeing me in the same outfit but I am going to be doing an update for my week four so I've done four weeks so far and it's a nine week course. I'm really excited about this class. It's really really fun. I feel like I'm learning a lot even though I might be a little bit farther along in my journey than some of the other people in my class but I feel like I'm learning something from them too because it's just a really great refresher and reminder to just keep staying out of debt and I don't know I just can't say enough good things about this class. If you have it in your area make sure to just check out the information if you're interested in like getting out of debt or building wealth or anything like that. It's a really really cool different perspective on things and I will leave the Dave Ramsey website down below so you guys can check out the FPU section the Financial Peace University section if you'd like and then there's a lot more information about how much it costs different areas that have it and things like that. So anyway this is definitely a favorite for the month. It might be a favorite next month too but who's coming? Also my next fashion favorites I have two. One is really random and the other one isn't so random. Like my first fashion favorite is scarves. What scarves? Okay so here's the deal of why I've been loving scarves lately. I have had an office like my regular day job is so cold and the front office is all the time. It's like boiling hot in the shop space but for whatever reason in the office space it's always freaking cold. So that being said I have been wearing and rocking a lot of scarves lately. This is a really old one. I think this is from Gap like three or four years ago so I won't be linking any scarves below but just in general I've been like really loving scarves. I love this one. It's like super super soft. So yeah I'm actually like on the hunt for some other scarves in the future so that might pop up in a new video if anyone I find some so you never know. Also my last fashion favorite is from this company called My Intent Project. It's myintent.org. It's what's your word? So I actually found this place on Instagram I want to say and as for my word of the year I think I talked about this in my goals and resolutions video a few videos back but my goal for the year not my goal my word of the year is called progress. So I felt like that was a good word because it shows momentum and moving forward and that I'm always making progress in any area of my life whether it be personal professional YouTube internet life whatever so progress. So I found this company and they have great jewelry and bracelets and I wear this bracelet every single day since I've gotten it and I will see if this will focus I've been having problems with my focuser. As you can see it says progress and I got the one that has the black and then I think this one's the brass one if I remember right you can get a silver plated or like this one's a brass plated which is like a gold you can get a couple of different colors as well as the actual like strings are different colors too. I just went with the black because I felt like the black was probably the easiest that would kind of go with everything so I decided to go with that. Also just to let you guys know my friend Jodi on life's organized chaos just did her favorites video and I actually got her one as well because her word or sorry phrase of the year is be intentional. She's getting really intentional with her money. She's also going through FPU as well so when we have our dragon house dates we always have a really good time talking about FPU but she actually did her favorites video and she loved her bracelet so much that she actually put it in there so I'm going to link Jodi's video below and if you guys end up subscribing to her let me know in the comments down below okay okay she actually just hit seven I think it was 700 subscribers yesterday so I'm really really excited for her channel okay and then my last favorite of the month has to be these these dried mangoes are amazing they are from Aldi I tried the dried mangoes at I think it was cub foods either like my local grocery stores I think I had got one from cub foods I got one from Target not the same not the same you guys these are amazing um if I could I would eat like four of these a day but it's probably not the best thing for you even though it is just dried fruit I haven't even ah there we go I haven't even opened one yet today but I just opened it now but and also just from like a packaging standpoint whoever made these is wonderful because the way that these like zip lock back together I don't know if you guys can see it let's see if it wants to focus it's like these little tiny teeth that like integrate together and it's like the most satisfying thing to like I don't know like to push it back together I don't know why the littlest things in life really satisfy me I don't know why but the mangoes are so freaking good I tried a couple of different other things from um Aldi as well I'm gonna have a piece because you know you have to freaking mangoes are so good the brand is called southern grove but they're at Aldi they're really good I think these are about three bucks three twenty nine a package or something like that so every day when I get home from work I allow myself to have a few strips of these after I get done walking the dog which the dog is like he's like right down here you're gonna jump up and get it mangoes probably have the best for puppies buddy if he's down here but he's too short you guys you can't see him oh did you guys see that it's not for you it's for me all right so anyway that is going to do it for my favorites video for January 2017 I hope you guys enjoyed if you have any questions feel free to post them down below and I'm gonna get back to as many of you as I possibly can also all the things I talked about will be down below as many things as I can find I will link them again with the scarf super old Aldi I'll link who what Aldi is it's a grocery store but if you don't have one in your area sorry um but yeah so everything that I can find I will link down below in the description box if you are interested if it's your first time here or you're a lurker like I am feel free to hit that red subscribe button that just make sure that you don't miss any of my content if you enjoy it if you don't enjoy it that's okay feel free to keep on lurking also if you like favorite videos and want me to keep doing favorite videos feel free to hit that thumbs up button let me know that you guys like favorite videos and that you want me to keep going with this series all right so that is going to do it for me I hope you guys are having a wonderful day no matter where you are and I will talk to you all in my next video bye guys
