January Non-Beauty Favorites

Mid-week next week I'll have a January beauty favorites video up on my YouTube channel, but I also (obviously) have liked non-beauty things during the month of January! 


I am seriously obsessed with QVC. Whenever I am bored or need a quick study break, I just turn QVC on from their website (you can watch them on your computer if you don't get the channel!) and spend 10-15 minutes with the host learning all about some product that I don't need. After you watch the pitch you feel like you really need whatever it is they are talking about!

Similarly, I'm still loving The Pioneer Woman. Her website is perfect for a quick distraction (one article) or a REALLY lazy afternoon (an entire category of articles). I watch her show with my mom and made one of her recipes (Citrus Butter Cookies) around Christmas. They were delicious. I recommend them highly.


I've started using a Keurig I got when I was in high school again.  Pressing a single button is a lot easier than using a hot water kettle to boil water, pouring it over a tea bag, then pouring out the extra water you had to add to get to the minimum. I'm not really a coffee drinker, but I do like the DD French Vanilla K-Cups. The Bigelow Green Tea are my favorite though!


I've been doing a lot of research on innovation for one of my classes (Entrepreneurship in Sport and Entertainment), and this guy keeps popping up everywhere. I think I've said before how much I love Apple (MacBook pro, iPhone, iPod shuffle, regular iPod...), and the more I learn about this guy the more fascinated I am by him. I'm currently reading his biography (loooooooong book), and even though he was a jerk to a lot of people, I still like him. He was an innovator, and if you want to be successful in the world today that's what you need to be.
