Thanks for joining me for another Nine Favorite Things post.
Hey, hi! Welcome back to Nine Favorite Things! After a month of an extreme amount of holiday content here on HBH, I’m so excited to bring back my 9 favorite things post! So many fun things to share today.
First off, I hope you’re all having a great start to the new year! Mine has been awesome, but I’m working through what I call a “photo rut”. Meaning, I’m currently hating all the photos I am taking. I think I’m just bored with them. Whenever this happens I know I am in need of new props, so below I’m sharing a few favorite pieces that I just ordered and cannot wait to have arrive.
In other news, it was a busy week around here working on blog content, a new project for 2018 (a couple actually), and also doing a little filming for an upcoming feature in USA Today, which was cool because I got to film with my brother Red. I believe the feature will be live sometime this month, I’ll be sure to let you guys know when it does!
Kind of jam packed, but all good things!
Speaking of good things, we kicked off Healthy January on Tuesday and I’m curious to hear what you guys think? Are you loving the recipes? Are they inspiring you to cook healthy this January?! As always, I would love your feedback and if there’s anything you’d like to see me make, let me know in the comments.
Coming up this week on the blog we have plenty of new healthy recipes including a Thai soup, super green pasta, a savory breakfast, a little Mexican, and of course something sweet!
Hope you have a great Sunday and don’t forget to check out #9 for dinner inspiration for the upcoming week!
Enjoy this week’s favorites!

4. In need of Inspiration?
I feel like the New Year can be both inspiring and stressful. Everyone’s out there making new year’s goals and putting on their game face. That’s great, but it can also be stressful if you’re feeling uninspired or unsure of your goals for the new year. I loved reading this article on finding creative inspiration again and breaking out of a rut. I’ve gone through these kinds of ruts before, so I’m excited to have the tips below in my back pocket for when inspiration is lacking.
Do you have any tricks to help inspire you again creatively? Here are mine:
