Things That Have Made Me Happy | January 2015 Highlights

Winter walks | MAC lipsticks (I know I'm obsessed, lol) | My new ring for my Birthday! | Our precious little Heidi | Benefit skincare is the best skincare! | More fashion finds | Blurry picture but this was us before Slipknot & Korn :) 

January has had it's highs and lows but I've had a great month and that is because I saw Slipknot and Korn on the 22nd of January! I've went on and on about this but it was obviously the best night of both of our lives. I still can't believe I saw my two favourite bands ever!

I'm still obsessed with MAC and I think I've got seven lipsticks in my collection but I know I'll get more soon as this obsession is growing stronger every time I go into MAC. I also love Benefit skincare. I've suffered with acne in the past so I always love it when I find skincare products that work of me.

Look at my birthday ring too! It's so stunning and I can't believe it's mine. January has also been a good month for fashion and I recently discovered Urban Outfitters so I have no money at all. Why is everything so expensive?!

☾ Life: We suffer with depression and anxiety and it's been pretty bad recently :( I won't ramble about this as it is quite depressing but I hope things will get better soon. I'm turning 18 next Saturday so at least that's something to look forward to. I'm also thinking about getting a tattoo but I have no idea what to get!

☾ Music: It's been a great month for music. I've been obsessed with Korn and Slipknot but I love listening to Marilyn Manson too. He is amazing, haha. My favourite song by Marilyn Manson is probably 'Tourniquet' Oh my God, I'm constantly singing it!

☾ Watching: I don't watch much tv but I love watching Stalked. I can't believe it's not going to come back on until March but I can't wait for when The Following starts again! 

☾ Reading: I just love reading amazing story books. I got the 'Angel' series for Christmas and I've been obsessed. I've finished all of the books now and I just feel lost not reading them!

How has your January been?
Love Rachel and Leah, x

    Winter Walks are the greatest, and your lil pup is the cutest thing ever!
    Sorry to here about the shit going on in your life; I would most definitely continue to self medicate through Mac lipsticks though! <3 xoxo

    What a great idea for a post - so different from the typical monthly favourites (which I do omg why am I so uncreative?) and it's so interesting for me to see other people's current favourite TV shows, books etc because they are my FAVOURITE to read :) and also I think getting a tattoo is an awesome idea! Hope you have a lovely birthday x

    I hope your anxiety and depression eases off. I really know how you both feel, some days are good but feels like more are bad it really isn't something fun t deal with. I would like to say as you get older it goes away but for me I feel like I am getting worse. BUT not to scare you both, gosh I am really bad at trying to make someone feel better. I think though as you get older you learn how to deal with it better. Good luck dolls :)

    That ring is stunning and love that photo of the both of, gorgeous! :)
