FAVES
why not love every little thing in life
that makes the every day feel special?
What I’m currently reading, listening to, eating, wearing, laughing at & Loving.
fall [2019]
September, October, November…there’s more than pumpkin spice in this goodness collection. Click the pics for links!
Come Matter Here by Hannah Brencher. I made a goal for 2018 to read one book a month & this has been my favorite by a long shot. It wrecked me in the best way. Read it or hear Hannah’s own voice on Audible.
Ombre manis are having a moment so I had to try it! Dark is not my norm but I’m kinda loving the white, grey, black neutrals for fall! (And yes, I was laying down while drinking coffee. Such is life.)
“I Love Me” by Meghan Trainor & Luchmoney Lewis. Do I have any of their other music? No. But I have listened to this one 3 zillion times. You need a pep up? Don’t worry if it makes you sound self-absorbed, you turn it up & play it saying “God made me just right!”
Modern Love on Amazon Prime. Each episode is a different story & oh how it’s grabbed me. It’s not cheesy or heart wrenching or sappy. It’s just beautiful & fulfilling in the best way. If you need a reminder that there is good in the world, watch the first episode. Precious.
I know. Just trust me. If cauliflower can be pizza than it can be anything. These are so light & delicious! I generally use them as a vessel for hummus but they’re also good plain. And they’re only 100 calories for 44 crackers! How often do you eat 44 crackers at once? Now if you do, it’s a serving of veggies. You’re welcome.
Leopard is my fall neutral & I’m getting tons of wear out of these Studio Laudres earrings. They’re clay but crazy lightweight. Laura makes her own designs & even does custom orders!
summer [2019]
Please oh please click on that hot dog face & follow @TheRamblingRedhead. Just trust me on this.
I can not tell you how happy this Instagram account makes me. I don’t even care about the shopping deals she finds. She is hilarious & makes my day. To the point that I’ve caught myself acting like her IRL. Love. Hilarious. Please follow.
I’m gonna have to do an entire post on this song. It is that fantastic. Click the pic to watch the music video or or listen on Amazon or Spotify. “Cause you don’t make mistakes. And you didn’t start me.” So much truth. So much goodness.
Okay, this one thing I did learn from The Rambling Redhead. THESE ARE PRESS-ONS you guys! They’re “imPRESS” and I’ve had light pink, greige, matte black…they’re fantastic. I can wash all this hair, do al the dishes & gives my kid baths. They’re legit. For less than $10. #winning
If you have ever struggled with performing, being a perfectionist or being a people pleaser, you should read this book. If you have ever wanted to be more brave, more assertive or go after a dream, you should read this book. If you have ever been frustrated that women who do go after things are considered abrasive, conceited, selfish or B*tchy, YOU SHOULD READ THIS BOOK. It shifted my perspective on my dreams, my goals, my identity, my daughters.& my religion. It is a fantastic challenge of what we think we know that simultaneously inspires us to be more.
This yogurt. The end. I’ve cut most of my dairy because it was giving me issues but dairy free yogurt is not so great (it’s meh at best) and this one, even though it’s actual milk, doesn’t bother my stomach. Most of the flavors are good but this coconut one is delicious. If you’re looking to up your protein, it’s got 15 grams, which is a lot more than most yogurts. This has been a staple on the snack list this month.
This GIF. It’s perfection. Celebration? Snoop. Laughing at my own joke? Snoop. Excited? Happy? Time to eat? SNOOP. You will learn that GIFs are my love language. This one is always a yes.
And I’m not gonna lie. I needed a 6th fave to balance the layout.
spring [2019]
Here’s my first faves, guys! Woop woop! Click the pics for links!!
I stockpile these in my backpack & eat one in my car on the regular because my lunch is typically randomness as I’m driving between meetings or events. They’re clean, yummy & don’t taste like most protein bars. The Peanut Butter is my current fave I will also throw a vote for Chocolate Sea Salt, Coconut Chocolate, Maple Sea Salt & Coffee Chocolate.
I’m obsessed. Can’t stop listening to her on Spotify. Unbreakable Smile is my new definitive theme song & the best karaoke car jam. So happy!
For a girl who loves clothes but not laundry & a girl who loves trying all the new fashion but doesn’t have the budget to be shopping all the time, LeTote has been my favorite thing for a solid YEAR. I pick the clothes I want, wear them, send them back (without washing them!) and get to pick my next pieces. Thank you, next. I’ll take these pearl covered statement jeans that I can’t exactly rock on the regular but LOVED having last week!
When I need to turn off my brain, Jamie & Knox are the perfect pair to listen to. Their goal is “educating you on things that are entertaining but do not matter.” I mean, hello. It’s the perfect doing the dishes or putting away laundry soundtrack. You’ll laugh out loud & it’s clean so you don’t have to worry about your kids overhearing if they happen to find you when you sneak upstairs. (to put away the clothes!!)
I mean, can any woman in leadership (can any one in leadership) not love Brene Brown?! This book in particular was phenomenal. Highly recommend.
