My Favourite Things: January

I've been singing a lot of songs from The Sound of Music over the week or so as it seems to be the only thing that settles my baby nephew Harry when I'm looking after him. 
That's possibly his way of saying 'Okay Auntie Rachie, if you stop singing....I'll go for a snooze!'

Seeing as 'My Favourite Things' has been going round my head on a loop it gave me some inspiration  to do a blog post on some of the things I've discovered in the month of January that I've really enjoyed. 

Yes, I know it is February......but I'm only a day late! 

 I don't know if it's something I'll do more of, I'll see how I feel, I thought it would be a good way to mix 'feel good' with doing something productive like writing. 

Food and Drink

Caveman Cookies

I came across these by chance while browsing my local Wholefoods for some Dairy Free snackage and was pleasantly surprised.  The idea behind them being that the ingredients were all materials available to cavemen so no flour, no milk, no sugar......what some of them do have is nuts, which is fine for me, but probably not for someone with an allergy to nuts.
Nice soft consistency and just enough to satisfy my hunger!

Rebel Kitchen Banana Mylk

Again I came across a box of these by chance in Wholefoods and was curious enough to buy one!

As the packing suggests, it's probably aimed at a young persons perhaps for putting in a lunch box but there's nothing to suggest a 26 year old can't enjoy a nice drink of Banana and Coconut Milk through a straw!

They do have other flavours but my taste buds were more attracted to the Banana!

Shoes

These were a Christmas present from my Mum but they turned up in January so I've been treating them as New Year Shoes.  I adore the cats print!
They are comfy and cute! I'll go into more of a description when I put them in a Shoe Diary Post.

Clothes 

This isn't a spectacular picture but I am loving this cape by Banned!

It originally came with a detachable faux fur collar but I wasn't too keen on it... so I detatched it!

Love the colour and it's super comfy! 
I have a green coat which is also made by Banned, it's longer and more tailored but because I love it so much I knew I'd feel the same about this.

I'll hopefully get a fair bit of wear out of it before the warm weather reappears.

Blogs 

http://www.braintreeclothing.com/blog/

I like to read blogs and I recently discovered this one........Brain Tree are a fashion label but they also run a really interesting and positive blog, filled with tips for improving your lifestyle, home improvement, relaxation etc.  After looking at just a few posts, I already felt a bit more positive about my day - which is sort of the effect I'd like this blog to have for others.

Their clothes and accessories are really nice too.....
