This month has been good to me. I started a new job at my old Students Union, moved into a beautiful new house (after lots of stressful phone calls) with James and became vegan! I’m planning to write about becoming vegan in a bit more depth, but for now I can say that I’ve really enjoyed it and have been pleasantly surprised by the wide variety of food I’ve been eating. Being in York, I’ve spent my weekends with my gorgeous friends, and enjoyed having visitors to stay. I even managed to write a couple of blog posts too!
I began the month (and the year!) with some resolutions. I haven’t achieved any of my goals yet but I’m getting there.
I wrote three outfit posts this month. January has not been a month of adventurous outfits – I have been reaching for simple and comfy recently, I think it’s something to do with winter. My favourite outfit is my blue velvet dress but I also wrote about my stripey trousers and my Zara jumper.
I shared a couple of craft projects this month too! Hands down, my favourite was the Mario Mushroom Crochet Blanket that I finished and gave to my brother. I worked on it for so long, and it couldn’t have turned out better! I was also pretty chuffed with the lavender bunnies I made with my mum as Christmas presents, and I’m pleased to have embroidered my last two patterns (here and here) for the autumn stitching club.
My favourite post this month was my discussion of cruelty free beauty. I got some lovely responses, you guys are the best!
I finished off the month by interviewing one of my favourite ever bloggers, Helena! I loved finding out more about her, and I’m planning to share an interview with another of my blogger fave’s next month 
Have you had a good January?
I loved all your posts for January!

Ahh can’t wait to hear about your vegan experience, I’m vegetarian and sometimes the idea of vegan sounds overwhelming!

Congrats on veganism! I’ve loved your posts this month Jess, I’ve had way less time for reading blogs and commenting and it’s always lovely when I see you’ve had a new post go up

I absolutely love that blanket, I know I wrote that before, but I really, really love it! I am looking forward to reading more about being vegan. I cut out meat from my diet 1,5 years ago, and think I should go vegan too. If you have yummy recipes to share, those are very welcome
What a pretty dress, you look gorgeous!
