The first month of the year felt both long and short at the same time. We’ve had very cold and snowy weather in Denmark this past month, which has been a bit of an obstacle transportation-wise. On the other hand, it’s nice that we still get to experience snow. It’s been a busy month at work, and this pregnancy is a little hard on me, so I’m looking forward to slowing down in a few weeks. But first, let’s talk about some of my favourite things from the past month.

Blue straight leg jeans (H&M MAMA): My first two favourites are both trousers. I don’t fit a lot of trousers these days, so I’m wearing these maternity jeans and the corduroy trousers below all the time.

Khaki green corduroy trousers (H&M MAMA): I love me a pair of corduroy trousers, and I haven’t worn a pair in a while, so I’ve been loving this maternity pair. Love the colour as well.

Three strand pearl necklace (H&M): I love a pearl necklace of any kind, and this three strand one from H&M has been one of my go-to necklaces this past month.

Makeup By Mario SoftSculpt shaping stick (shade: Fair): I think I purchased this stick bronzer in a Black Friday sale in 2024, but because I love my other two SoftSculpt products from Makeup By Mario, I never really tested this one out properly. But when I had limited access to my make-up collection during our move, I pulled this one out from my collection, and it was the only cream bronzer I used for about 1,5 months, and I’ve really enjoyed using it.

Kastanjemanden (The Chestnut Man) by Søren Sveistrup (book): This is one of the best books, if not the best, that I’ve read since I got into reading last summer. It’s a Danish crime fiction novel, but it has been translated into English and other languages as well, so if you like crime fiction, I definitely recommend you check this book out. After I finished the book, I watched the TV series, and it was absolutely great as well.
