The start of a new month means it's time for my favorites post! Here are the things I've been loving for the past 31 days!
Beauty Product
I never thought a lip scrub was a product I actually needed. However, my favorite Youtube Beauty Gurus convinced me that just like I needed to exfoliate my hands or feet, I need to exfoliate my lips. The Tarte Maracuga Lip Exfoliant buffs away dry skin and helps prevent chapped lips. It is also great to use before lipstick to help your color stay longer!
Singer
I must have some sort of obsession with singers from England, because this month's favorite singer is Jasmine Thompson. (Remember in my November Favorites I introduced you all to Gabrielle Aplin.) Jasmine's cover of "Let Her Go" kept coming up on my Pandora station so I went to YouTube to look her up. Her voice is amazing! I also love her cover of Titanium.
Blog
I just recently discovered the blog Classy Girls Wear Pearls and am in love with Sarah's style. The girl has layering talent. I found her on Instagram, and quickly realized a lot of the outfits I have pinned on Pinterest were hers! Her pictures are amazing and in the most beautiful locations! (A cabin in the snow, London, and Ireland most recently.) And can we just all obsess over her walk in closet. I love her style for inspiration for what to wear to work, I highly recommend you check her out!
Recipe
My obsession with my crock pot is starting to get a little out of hand. I recently discovered this taco soup and absolutely love it. It is so easy to make and delicious! I make a soup in the crock pot each week. They are so easy for dinner and great to take for lunch, too.
Song
I am a huge Eric Church fan. I have seen him twice in concert and am anxiously waiting for him to announce his next tour. His new song is seriously so good! (I guess some people don't think this song lives up to the songs on Chief... but I like it.)Not kidding when I say the first thing I do each day when I get to work is open up Spotify and play this song.

I told you all once before that I used to hate the color pink. You probably would never believe that given the amount of pink I have featured on the blog in the past week. (I swear it's true, though!) I own a lot of pink now and am glad I have learned to embrace the color :).
PS. Bachelor friends out there. What did you think of last nights episode!? I keep changing my mind of who I like. After the first episode I loved Claire (err... Clare?) and Kat, but now not so much! Who are your favorites? I feel like every week I like someone new and stop liking someone I previously thought I liked. I am in two separate bachelor fantasy leagues, too. In one I chose people I actually liked and in the otherI just chose all random people. Needlesstosay, I am way better off picking people I actually like. In one league I am in first place and in the other I am in last... yikes!

There's something so fun about getting dressed up for a date night. Whether I'm going out with my best friends for dinner or going out for a date with Tyler, I love getting dolled up for a special night.
Today's look is is perfect for any date night, or maybe even Valentine's Day! I had planned to wear this outfit Friday on a date night with Tyler, but the anticipated snow made me decide against the heels ;). As you saw on Instagram, both Tyler and I had tried to surprise each other with date nights on Friday! I left him a note for him to read when he arrived home from a work trip in Boston letting him know we had reservations for dinner. Meanwhile, he had picked up flowers and chocolates on his way home from the airport. What can I say... great minds think a like ;).
Also, what did you guys think of the Super Bowl last night? I was honestly really bored with the game and the commercials. (I hardly watched any of the second half.) I thought Bruno Mars was fantastic, though!
Linking up with On the Daily Express and More Pieces of Me for Manic Monday!
