What are some of your favourite things from the last month? Always looking for new recommendations!!
I'm so boring all I do is read. I don't watch tv or movies or go anywhere. I just stay home, dead scroll on social media and read. My Favorite books I read last month were The Order : Kingdom of Fallen Ash by Katerina St. Clair, On Wings of Blood by Briar Bolyen, Blood of Hercules by Jamine Mas and The Mist Thief by L.J. Andrews. My favorite holiday book was My Favorite Holidate by Lauren Blakely. That's it.
Peppermint of course. Starbucks bagels. White peppermint mocha from Starbucks.
Always do what you like.!
I love how as soon as you sit on the sofa with a blanket, the dogs come in for a snuggle. 🥰
Love the “manifestation” bowl! Great video.
Yes! Absolutely enjoyed this “favorite things” vlog. 👍🙏🤪😎
Yay! Lovely monthly video idea! Perfect timing as well, just picked up Babel yesterday. Really looking forward to diving in!

Loved your Favourite Video. Please do it every month. You are such an inspiration.
You’re like the new Oprah with your “favorite things” list! 😂 Thanks for sharing your favs! 🥰
I love that! "Don't save it til best or special occasions, life is short".. so true! Going to go a dose myself in my favourite perfume now x
Wow! That marble bowl is huge! I hope you get good use with it. It's pretty. I enjoyed this video. 😊❤
Brilliant vid 👏🏼 yes regular fave videos would be great!
Love this! I actually ordered a pair of Axel Arigato sneakers thanks to one of your videos. I had never heard of him, and I'm a sneaker fanatic!
Show and tell is fun. I enjoyed this!
Aww Finn cuddles under the Blanket funny how doggies know when a blanket come out what can mean 😅
Lovely video. Joel 😊
LOVE it...Keep them coming!!!!
Love the favorites video idea! As for the “tunnel” candle issue…try trimming the wick to 1/4 inch before lighting each time. ❤
I am loving this Monthly Favorites idea! 😊
I'm so glad!
Thoroughly enjoyed this video 😊
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!
❤❤ I would watch you talking about baked beans babe ❤❤ love from New Zealand xx
Yes to the monthrly favorites videos
Love this Joel! Definitely keep the monthly favorites coming!
Love the marble bowl! 😍 I have a lot of white marble in my home. I would suggest putting apples in the bowl if you want to put something in it. Apples stay fresh for long periods of time. Also, if you like handmade one of a kind things for the kitchen look into olive wood items. I love the spoons, little oval bowls that we use for bar soap holders, and bowls. The wood looks like art! We have them at Homegoods, Marshall’s, and TJMaxx in the US in the kitchen section. I would think they would have them in the UK as well. The wood is so swirly and unique. Beautiful wood also adds warmth to the home. I have a collection of at least a dozen olive wood spoons to use for cooking and display them as well. You can also use olive oil to keep the wood hydrated and looking beautiful. 😊
I love olive wood, and your description is spot on! Almost addicting. I can't pass something made of wood like that without a double take and I'll be honest almost without fail the ones that catch not just my eye, but my heart, are olive wood! There's a few makers markets that have had some other exotics from south hemisphere usually with some ethereal wave patterns, but mostly olive wood.
Love a favourites video. Thanks Joel!
Love a monthly faves ❤
Hi Joel, hope all is well. I’ve just started your video and had to mention this. Scent is one the strongest ways to recall a memory. I love the idea of saving a particular fragrance for special occasions. I took one particular scent to Paris and each time I smell it I’m back in the gardens of Versailles. Genuinely! Kudos to you for saving certain fragrances for special occasions.
I agree. The first time I went to New York I was wearing a particular perfume. Every time I smell it I go back to landing at JFK and the excitement I felt.
This! Not saving everything for best, just this extra special since scent is so deeply invited in memories. Brilliant. Good call!
So happy you’re jumping on the favorites train!
Love this and look forward to next month’s favorites!
Joel enjoyed the January Favorites :)
Loved this!
I started enjoying 'best' more often. And with perfume (cologne for you 😅) there's a best by date
Aristocrats are very thrifty and wear old clothes like that at home.
Does anyone remember Princess Di had Wills and Harry in 2nd hand?
Love your new year's plans for your channel 💙
No way! Why does that give me a boost?! If it's good enough for princess di, it's good enough for my child! Besides she always looked amazing and loved that she got to be in the second hand from her cousins, so I hardly felt too bad.
I love the recommendations👌!
I will check out those shows thanks!!
I really liked Black Doves too.
Really enjoyed your monthly favorites Joel, please continue. Marble can be so beautiful, but it’s fragile in a multitude of ways, as temping as it would be, no real fruit, but there are beautiful hand painted fruit made from marble, regarding the small bowl, keys would probably eventually chip the marble, so good thing it didn’t work out. I haven’t read Babel, but it sounds interesting. Yeah, in all honesty I wouldn’t have thought of Eddie in Day of the Jackal (old movie I guess they brought back as a series), my reasoning is a bit different from yours except we agree he is an amazing actor. Thank you Joel, good to see Keegan, hope you have a great week. 💕👍
That manifestation bowl is gorgeous. Also, it is sold out. You could use it to float flower blossoms.
Love this!!❤❤❤
I loved Black Doves
Such a great show! Had me gripped!
Nivea body lotion was my fav thing from last month. Very moisturising
I know natural stone countertops can be sealed, perhaps something similar could be done to the bowl? Or maybe just line it with a lovely cloth of some kind so it can be used for various things while also protecting it a bit
How about putting in dry items in the bowl? I have an old carved wood bowl and put in an ostridge and kiwi eggs, gourds, and interesting dried plant pods.
Love this!
I’m not from the UK, but I love love love Trinny!!! I used to watch What Not To Wear on BBC America and really appreciated hear confidence!
The candle tunnelled because you extinguished the flame too soon. Everytime you light the candle, you have to give it enough time to melt the wax all the way to the edge. If you extinguish the candle before the edge melts, then the next time you light the candle, the wax will only melt as far as the wall created the last time.
True, but some candles have a wick that's not the right size for the width and burn pace of the wax (poorly designed) and it's gonna take a bit of playing with it to get it to use up the edge wax before the wick burns all the way. I just finished two like this and burned them for several hours at a time with similar results. But generally this is true. Along with trimming the wick before burning.
Ohhhhh, love the favorites idea. And that manifestation bowl, yes, careful with real fruit and the like unless you put in a safe liner first.
Did I miss where your comfy hoodie is from? It looks so cozy it weighs be my fave today when we're getting out first snow that shut the whole city down!
Love the cameos from the pups and Keegan.
And I saw the trailer for the Jackal and did a double take for the same reasons when I saw Eddie, but know he is a fantastic actor! Might take a few min to adjust to his role and not think it's Newt Scamander. Sounds like I need to add to my watch list.
Hi Joel. Please tell me about the series of prints behind your sofa. They were variations of a man. Couldn’t see the entire print, but they look really interesting. OK, I’m off to start Black Doves! 😊
Nice recommendations . Sarah Lanchashire is brilliant and completely agree about Kiera Knightly:
Idea for the bowl... Water and some small floating candles!
Oh, good shout
love
As of right now, in the month of January, my favorite band and artist is the band The Script. You guys should check them out. If you haven’t heard of them. They are really good Joe, I would certainly recommend for you to watch I mean check that out
❤
💙
I’m so sorry I did not mean to say Joe.
I meant to say Joel
You see, I’m blind, and it’s hard to to type sometimes. That’s why sometimes text gets messed up because I used speech to text I have a keyboard now, but I’m not currently using it
❤❤❤
I don't know if this request is proper in this forum, however, I'm asking for you and Keegan to keep Los Angeles in your prayers. There are wildfires in the northern and western areas of LA that are doing horrific damage. Thank you for your consideration on this request. Take care of yourselves and have a blessed day.
📚 Have you tried 'The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi'? I read Babel and enjoyed it and have Yellowface on my TBR based on your recommendation
If your shopping vlogs are anything to go by, I’m very intrigued about your favourites.
No! Do not save perfumes, colognes, after shaves for best! After time the smells change and may not smell “best” any more because of chemical change.
Fleur de poo?!
You seem more comfortable with yourself, and Keegan seems happier the longer you are together. My personal philosophy with spending is that each item I buy is an investment. Should I make this investment? Is it the best investment I can make?
Joel, I really enjoy your videos, but I'm a little disappointed. I know that you do videos that try to appeal to the masses, but your favorites list gets a little mundane . What I mean is you do subscription videos that deal with more personal subjects that would also be enjoyable for those who can't join your memberships. Instead you do these list videos, I mean really
You’re perfectly free not to watch.
@TheJoelWood to be honest, I didn't
Yet take time to post a nasty comment.
@@angelamiller3527 mind your business
Just be careful that these "favorite" things don't become a sponsored commercial. T here have been a few channels that I've unsubscribed with the content creators doing just that. They can come off as "Oprah's Favorite" things that was really a marketing ploy. Tread carefully.
Creators need to earn money from their work. If a sponsor reached out to me to be featured and I genuinely loved the product then of course I’d work with them…
@@TheJoelWood Wonderful! I that however content creators should make a distinction. Usually when one is quick and slick to slide into a "commercial" - that is when I click away. Glad I don't have worry about earning money. It is so time consuming.
I’m not from the UK, but I love love love Trinny!!! I used to watch What Not To Wear on BBC America and really appreciated hear confidence!
