Eeek! It’s the first of December! Seriously can’t get my head round the fact that we are in the last month of 2016. That also means that it’s time to share my faves from the month of November. Here are my top 5:
1. Batiste Dry Shampoo
I don’t know why but I’ve been using dry shampoo like a trooper this month. Maybe it’s because my bed has been too warm and cosy to get out of during the cold November mornings and that has meant less shower and hair washing time. I would be seriously lost and definitely more greasy haired without this in my life.
2. Hot chocolate
After months of not having much hot chocolate, I’ve definitely made up for it in November. We have a snazzy coffee machine that makes the best hot chocolates so I have been making the most of it this month. It’s this lovely red one if you want one in your life too.
3. The Elephant in the Mirror
In November this book arrived through my letter box and I couldn’t wait to get started! I was really interested in the concept of the book – that we all have things about ourselves that we don’t like or aren’t happy with, but that we have the power to change how we think and feel and can become much more fulfilled. Ive not had chance to finish this book, but you can expect a review when I have. If you fancy a read you can get it here in paper back or free on the kindle (for a limited time – from the 1st-3rd of December so be quick!)
4. Gel nails
If you’re an avid ASOJ reader then you’ll know I’ve been using my Sensationail Polish to Gel Transformer Starter Kit this month. I’ve reviewed it in a blog post already (find it here) so won’t go into too much detail, but I’ve been seriously loving it in November! I have this shade on at the moment but am planning to do my festive nails very soon!
5. My hair colour
Bit of a random one you’ll probably be thinking, but I’ve been loving my hair colour in November! I’ve been blonde since I was 16 and it seems to get lighter and lighter each time I visit my hairdresser which I was happy about. However this year I have just got bored with my hair. Back in June, I had it all chopped off and then near the end of October I decided I wanted a change on the colour front too. So I mixed in a bit of a darker colour with some blonde still kept in for good measure. Initially I wasn’t sure and thought I would revert back on my next visit to my trusty blonde locks, but during November I’ve really taken to the colour! It seems to work for this time of year and it looks a bit more natural on me.
So that’s my 5 loves from November. What have you been loving this month? I would love tof hear in the comments!
Until next time…
Jean xoxo

Hot Chocolate is always my favorite as it gets colder! That book sounds really interesting. And I think it’s true, there’s always something we don’t like but it’s our perception that’s what’s wrong. Your hair color is lovely!

It’s great isn’t it, so warming and yummy! I can’t wait to read it all, make sure you look out for my review π it might be worth getting the free version if you fancy a read as it’s just for a couple of days and then will go back up in price. Thank you π
