The January Edit

Hey guys! I can’t believe that January is almost over. This year, I am starting a new series on the blog. At the end of each month, I’m going to do a huge round-up of things I’ve loved throughout the month. I am so excited to share this with you guys. So, let’s get into it 🙂
 
What I Watched in January
1. Bridgerton – I don’t really know if Bridgerton counts for January because I originally watched it at the end of December. But I’ve rewatched it two times this month, so I’ll let it slide. LOL. This show was so fun. It gave me Gossip Girl/Pride and Prejudice vibes, and I loved that. I’m a huge fan of period dramas, so that was a plus. The sets and costumes were amazing! And it recently got renewed for a season two, and I am so excited to see how they tell Anthony Bridgerton’s story. 
2. The Queen’s Gambit – It’s no secret that I love period dramas. I talk about it a lot. So, after seeing numerous people on Instagram share about this show, I knew that I had to give it a watch. I actually finished it yesterday. It was great. Anya Taylor-Joy was phenomenal to watch as Beth Harmon. I also loved the music featured in the show and the costumes! 
3. Everyone is Doing Great – This show was a project that two One Tree Hill alumni created, directed, and produced. James Lafferty and Stephen Colletti, who played Nathan and Chase on OTH respectively star in this hilarious comedy. I’ve watched like 6 episodes of this show, and I have to say it is absolutely hilarious. If you’re looking for a laugh, I highly recommend this show!
 
What I Read in January 
I feel like I was a little slack in my reading this month. I did finish one book. It was The Hating Game by Sally Thorne.  It’s about two coworkers that hate each other. But as you read, you realize that that couldn’t be farther from the truth. It was so cheesy and cute. It’s becoming a movie soon! Lucy Hale is going to star in it. I can’t wait to see Lucy and Josh bicker on the big screen!

You can shop these items above. I am literally living in my Amazon loungewear set. It is the most comfortable thing ever. I am also obsessing over these nails from Impress Manicure. I’m currently wearing them, and they’ve lasted for nearly two weeks. Plus, they are under $7. This Superstay Matte Lipstick from Maybelline is gorgeous, and it’s true to its word. It’s definitely long-lasting. I have the shade, Revolutionary. 
What I Listened to in January
Every month, I make a playlist on Spotify. And January was no exception. I have 80 songs on it and it is literally all over the place. It’s linked below if you wanna check it out! 
Some of my favorite songs on it are Drivers Licence by Olivia Rodrigo, Confetti by Little Mix, 10% by Kaytranada, and Number One Fan by Muna. Also, I’m on A huge Aly & AJ kick.
January Pop!
January has been a big month for pop culture! I’ve rounded up some fun stories to share with you guys. 
– Halsey is going to be a mom! 
The singer posted pictures on IG today confirming that she is having a baby. I love Halsey’s music and I’m so happy for her. Wishing her all the best!
-Y’all, I am still not over the fashion at the 2021 Inauguration. I’m still thinking about Michelle Obama and the outfit that she absolutely slayed in!!
-The Bold Type is ending after season 5. This news makes me so sad. I truly love this show and the stories that it shares. It’s unafraid, raw, and real. I’ve heard that there is a lot of drama going on behind the scenes. Regardless, I’m proud of the lead actresses for standing up for one another. Girl Power! (If you haven’t seen this show, it’s on Hulu and I freaking love it!!)
-Bach Nation Drama: Clare (Who fell in love on the first night of the Bachelorette) and Dale (Her fiance/boyfriend? I honestly don’t even know.) have called it quits. They’ve been together since last summer. And apparently, Clare found out on IG with the rest of the world. I feel bad for her. She seems like she just wants to fall in love and run off into the sunset. Hopefully, she’ll find that someone soon. 
 
Okay, that was a lot. If you made it this far, thank you for reading! I appreciate it more than you know!
 
See you soon!

Shows to Watch This Summer

Even though I have a million things to do I always find myself watching tv shows. There are so many good shows between Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime and I thought that I would share some of my personal favorites with y’all today!
New Girl (Netflix)
I only started New Girl a few weeks ago, but it didn’t take long for me to become obsessed with it. It follows the life of Jessica Day and her new adventure of living with three guy roommates. I’m already on season 4 and I’m pretty sure I’ll be done with the show all together before I know it.

The Crown (Netflix)
I am a total sucker for period dramas, like I’m a little obsessed. The Crown is so well done, the acting is phenomenal. Another thing I love about the crown is the set design and costuming. The overall aesthetic that this show gives is so good! I highly recommend this show if you like period dramas or have any interest in the Royal Family.  
The Bold Type (Hulu)
I started watching The Bold Type last year when it premiered. I instantly fell in love with the show thanks to the amazing soundtrack, the fun storylines, and the loveable leading ladies. This show follows three girls who work at Scarlet Magazine. It shows their lives as they deal with different obstacles such as work and relationships. This show is perfect to binge watch with your girls! 
One Tree Hill (Hulu)
I cannot express how much I love this show. I watched it for the first time when I was a senior in high school and the characters and storylines make this show stand out to me. I’ve grown so attached to Nathan Scott and Brooke Davis and I’ve even traveled to Wilmington, North Carolina where they filmed the show! This show may be older than some shows on this list but it is SO worth watching. 
Victoria (Amazon Prime) 
Again another period drama and you shouldn’t be surprised haha! This one has also become a recent favorite for me. Back before I got out of school for the summer I signed up for Amazon Prime (it probably wasn’t the best idea but I did it anyway!)  and I have absolutely loved having Prime Video. This show is great, it follows the life of a young Queen Victoria and her husband Albert. The acting is great and the costuming and sets are stunning. If you like history or royals this is another must watch!

The Americans (Amazon Prime)
This show is another period drama but it also has elements of a political drama. I started watching this show a few weeks ago and I am HOOKED. It follows the lives of Phillip and Elizabeth Jennings. They’re Russian spies living near Washington, D.C. in the 1980s. There is so much suspense and drama, and I feel like in no time I’ll knock out all 6 seasons in no time.

Well, there you have it! Here are some great shows to watch this summer! I hope you guys love these shows as much as I do! Let me know if you watch these shows and let me know what shows you are loving!

Thanks for reading!

Love, Emily
