I had quite the list of favorites this month that span a few different categories. From food to beauty, here are my February favorites.

Food

A clear, plastic container filled with 6 fluffy croissants.

Hy-Vee Croissants: These things are like crack! They were so buttery, so soft, so delicious. I wanted to eat the whole package of them. If you live in a city that has a Hy-Vee grocery store, get there quick and pick some up for yourself. Honestly, you will not want to share them.

Food on a blue plastic plate; there is popcorn, ritz crackers, cheese, turkey slices and baby carrots.

Picky Plates: I am a big snacker. In fact, if I could snack for every one of my meals I would. Sometimes I’m just not that hungry for a full, big meal so I choose to eat smaller bits and call it a day. I picked up this habit a lot during February. As you can see in the picture, I would just put together whatever I was craving and had laying around and make a meal of it. My perfect meal!

A sage green drinking cup with straw sitting on a wooden table.

Hydro Flask Cup: I am a Hydro Flask girlie through and through. Don’t put a Stanley in front of me. One, Hydroflask is less expensive. Two, I think Hydro Flask is better (although, I can’t say that definitively because I’ve never tried Stanley cups). I will die on that hill though, lol. This cup goes with me everywhere, unless it’s being washed, hence the big ‘ol ’emotional support water bottle’ (you can get this from Jamie Paige Doodles)  sticker on it.

A beige colored bag of kettle chips with red and faded red writing on it.

Hy-Vee Kettle Chips: These are delicious! They’re not too salty (plain flavor) and the flavored ones (parmesan and garlic is my favorite) aren’t caked in flavoring. I picked them up because I wanted something different and I don’t think I want to get any other chip again.

Beauty

A pale-skinned hand with white and blue press-on nails. The blue is a squiggly line down the middle of the nails.

Olive & June Press-On Nails: I typically put press on nails when I start really picking at my cuticles and biting my nails constantly. Wearing them helps deter me from picking at my fingers. Most of the month I was wearing this brand. I like that they come in different styles and sizes and they’re easy to apply.

A container of half-moon shaped, green eye patches.

Pur Beauty Hemp Eye Patches: I was still dealing with dry under eyes all throughout February and found these in my collection. I immediately put them in the fridge so that every morning, I could give myself a little spa day. I highly recommend putting them in the fridge because the cooling sensation helps with puffiness too. These aren’t too wet either. Most eye patches are so slimy that they end up sliding half way down your face and you have to constantly adjust them. With these, I can walk around and actually do stuff.

Fashion

A pair of dark brown, lace-up short boots. Sitting on a grey carpet in front of a brown closet door.

Freebird Boots: I have had these boots (similar options) for years now and they are the best purchase I have ever made, clothing wise. I have gotten so much wear from them that the price tag has been worth it. They have become my go to for the winter months. These boots definitely came in handy this winter season. They are comfortable (as long as you wear the right socks…I suggest thick socks) and they are stylish.

Entertainment (Books, TV, Movies, etc.)

A book cover that is dark, teal green with yellow stripes in the corners. The writing is white and says 'Know My Name A memoir Chanel Miller'

Know My Name by Chanel Miller: You can read more about my thoughts on this book in my February reading wrap up (coming soon), but of all the books I read in February this was the best. Everyone needs to read this book.

A yellow orange book cover with pink and white writing. The white writing says 'Ali Hazelwood' and the pink writing says 'Love, Theoretically'. There are two people kissing on the cover, one short female with brown hair and a pink dress on & a tall male with short sandy blonde hair and a blue button up shirt on. There is also an emblem on the spine side of the cover that displays another one of Ali's books.

Love, Theoretically by Ali Hazelwood: You can also read more about my thoughts in my February reading wrap-up. This was a fun read, as most Ali Hazelwood books are. Just be careful though because the spice is spicing. If you don’t like a spicy book, don’t pick this one up. I, however, love a spicy book and thoroughly enjoyed my reading experience.

A TV poster with dark green and grey coloring. There are two people on it, Claire and Jamie, who are characters of the show Outlander. There is white writing that says 'Find Your Way Back to Me' & 'Outlander'.

Outlander: I am now all caught up on this show and impatiently waiting for season 8. I finally figured out why I love this show so much and why I quickly became obsessed. It’s the chemistry! Not just between Jamie and Claire and the other characters. It’s the chemistry between the actors too. You can just tell they are one big family that love each other.

A TV poster for the show Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam and Graham. The poster has greens, blues, browns, and purples in the background. There is a picture of Sam and Graham standing next to each other. There is also an animal native to New Zealand in the bottom write corner. The writing is dark green.

Men in Kilts: A Roadtrip with Sam & Graham: This was a fun watch! It follows Sam Heughan and Graham McTavish (Yes of Outlander!) as they travel through Scotland (Season 1) and New Zealand (Season 2) learning about everything from food to culture. I laughed so much watching this docuseries. They are both such hoots! I loved the fact that I was learning something new while also being entertained at the same time.

Brady Lockerby: Brady came up on my FYP on Tiktok awhile back and it was an immediate follow for me. I just love her content! She does everything from Amazon hauls to talking about her favorite books. My newest favorite content she does is her junk journal spreads.

Abbie Konnick: Much like Brady, Abbie was showing up on my FYP a lot and I finally decided to follow her. I don’t regret it. Her content is so cozy and wholesome. She posts anything from her thoughts on thriller books to food content. She’s currently posting a lot about retiring from teaching and how she is now a full-time content creator. I love following her journey.

Mark Ferris: I have been following Mark for a really long time on Youtube and love his content. But during February, I really enjoyed watching his Vloguary content specifically. It was nice and chill and fun to watch.

Those were my February favorites. I would love to know what you loved in the month of February. Leave it in the comments 🙂
