February Favorites

What a lovely month it’s been! I’m grateful it flew by because that means another winter month is gone and out of my way. But it’s also sad that it flew by because this year is flying by waaay too quick for me! I had a lovely month of February. In fact, it’s been so lovely that I actually only have favorites to talk about and no fails, which is a good sign. Without further ado, let’s get right into it!

Health Ade Kombucha

So this one is quite specific actually. I hate kombucha and have for years. However, the Bubbly Rose flavor by Health Ade is delish! Brings me back to summertime when I’d sit on my porch during sunset and drink a cold drink in a wine glass. My sister recommended I try the Bubbly Rose flavor and now I’m hooked. I’ll usually have one bottle a week. I don’t drink the entire bottle at once though. I’ll separate it into three separate occasions. I basically treat it like a fun mocktail or end-of-day treat for when my sweet tooth is strong.

Hipped Wine Glass

Speaking of drinking from pretty wine glasses…. I recently bought these gorgeous hipped white wine glasses from West Elm. Gosh I love them so much! I love how they feel, how fancy they make me feel (even though they’re only $32 for 4 glasses!), and how they just elevate the entire experience. Sometimes I’ll even pour my smoothie in them for fun. The perks of working from home some mornings!

Chanel Blush in “55 In Love”

I love a bronzy peach blush, especially for spring/summer. I’ve been using this Chanel blush all month and pretending it’s spring already. Sure a pink color is the perfect winter pink blush that says “my cheeks are naturally flushed from the cold outside”. But I’m just sooo excited for warmer weather and some spring blooms so I’ve been wearing this one in February. Plus, it’s a beautiful shade that looks a little more natural than a pink blush.

Spanx Faux Leather Leggings

Whenever I don’t know what to wear or need to get an outfit together in a pinch, the Spanx Leather Leggings always save the day! They are comfy, suck you in perfectly, and give you that extra confidence to go about your day! It’s like wearing pants, but actually enjoying the experience LOL. You can pair it with a sweater for a comfy chic look, or pair it with a blouse or blazer for a more comfy business casual vibe. It’s also a fabulous piece for going out with friends. I’m telling you, these leggings are a STAPLE in my closet and I’m going to stock up on them during the Nordstrom Anniversary Sale in August so I never have to worry whether they are are getting too worn out or not.

Oysters at Aether in Fishtown

My sister and I started the month of February with some oysters at one of our favorite Philadelphia restaurants, Aether, and I still can’t stop thinking about them. They were absolutely phenomenal (if you’re into that sort of food)! I highly recommend you make a reservation here. It’s one of my top 5 restaurants in Philly and they have incredible seafood items on their menu. A few of my fave items are the oysters (duh!), scallop crudo, hamachi ceviche, the octopus, salmon tartare, crispy squid salad, and scallops. Basically everything LOL.

It’s been a pretty great month. So good that I actually don’t have any fails to share with you like I did in my January Faves + Fails.

I’d love to know what your favorites and fails have been in February! Be sure to comment below or message me on insta!
