What I'm Priming: January 2022

Hi there and happy Monday! Prior to this year, we had not had snow in Charlotte for 4 years.. now we've had it 3 weeks in a row! We are getting spoiled by Mother Nature over here and I am here for it. I am one of those people who thinks if it's going to be cold, it may as well snow. That being said, it is supposed to be 66 degrees here on Thursday and I'm not complaining about that either--  hah!

Today I am sharing what I've been Priming for the month of January and will be linking up with Tanya tomorrow for Prime Purchases. I am also linking up with Sarah and Holly for Hello Monday.


Candle Making Kit-- I have been making my own candles and Michael's was out of the wicks. Amazon to the rescue! I save my old Bath & Body Works candle jars and use those for my homemade candles. You know that last little bit of wax you get in a candle that won't melt once the wick is done? I save that too and use it in my new candles! I melt the last little bit, add it to my new melted wax, add some essential oils that go well with the old scent and voila! If you want to learn more about making your own candles, check out this link from Martha Stewart.



Humidifier-- Our old humidifier died and with us running the heat 24/7 around here, the air has been really dry. This is a necessity in winter!


Valentine's Day Earrings-- I settled on a pink J Crew sweater for the kids' Valentine's Day parties, but wanted some heart earrings to go with it. 



4 Pairs of Lightweight Rattan Earrings-- I must have had summer on the brain at some point this month because these came up on my recommended purchases. They felt like spring/summer to me.

Rabbit Wine Opener-- We got one of these Rabbit wine openers about 10 years ago as a gift and it is the easiest wine opener we've ever used. Unfortunately it broke a week or so ago, and we needed a new opener. There was no question that I wanted this one again. 


That was it for this month! I'm looking forward to seeing what everyone else links up with. Have a great week!

  1. Love the Valentine earrings- do you think I should invest in one of those wine openers? I still use the old fashioned rabbit ear ones :)

    1. We swear by it! My in laws have the traditional rabbit ear one and we think ours is much easier. You could always get it, try it, and return it if you don't like it? I feel like Amazon is pretty good about that!

  3. See, I thought we had a lot in common and then you said you were making your own candles, so I guess this is where our similarities end! Teasing. Seriously, good for you, very crafty. I love those heart earrings and for all the wine we drink, you'd think I'd have a good opener like that, but I'm still using the one I had when I was a waitress back in 2000-2004.
