I got to do some soul searching this week which was much much needed. When you live your life on the road or always on the go it’s hard to focus on the little things. You tend to give up your obligations/responsibilities because there isn’t enough time to complete small tasks everyday. As you can imagine my To-Do list grew over 2 pages long and I was having a bit of a meltdown over it. Having this week to complete everything on the list and then sometime to sit and relax gave me a great opportunity to dig deep on things that I have been loving.
Which leads right into today’s post! I love reading other blogger’s posts about things they are loving/trying in the moment. If you read Amber Fillerup’s blog, “Barefoot Blonde”, she has the regular post that talks about “12 things”. These posts always make me feel so much closer to the blogger or be able to relate with some things they are going through. So today I wanted to take the time to share 10 of my “things” right now:)
- For the past month I have been LOVING reading at night! Which is so new to me because growing up I absolutely hated it. I am not a fast reader so reading for school was always challenging for me. But I have done a couple book reviews (HERE & HERE) because I have genuinely been loving sitting down to read murder mysteries!
- I just bought THIS from Amazon and it has changed the way I organize my make-up! It fits perfectly on my counter and doesn’t take up much room. The only thing I wish I had was a lipstick holder on top. I might order one soon:)
- Jeremy and I just booked a trip to NYC for Labor Day weekend!!!! This is something I am beyond excited for because Jeremy has NEVER been before. I have been 2 times both during the winter so it will be really beautiful to see NYC in the summer/fall. It has been a place I have wanted to take Jeremy for a very long time because it is my favorite city in the US!
- Right now I am drinking wine and writing this post! So I need to share my favorite wine:) I have gotten onto the Red Blend trend and have been trying different vineyards out for the past couple months!
- Anything fall! To be honest I am very very ready for it to be cold again. I keep looking at going to the mountains for a couple days just to escape the heat haha!
- The Gal Meets Glam Collection is everything I have ever wanted to be! Julia just released her August collection and I want EVERY SINGLE dress on there. She has been such a big inspiration for me for so long!
- I have been stuck lately in terms of shopping. Nothing has been super inspiring to me. Well that was until I saw all the fall items coming out! But… it’s still 100 degrees here in Dallas so there is no reason for me to be rushing into buying anything. So here we are waiting in limbo haha!
- Airport book stores are my ish right now!! After spending the past couple months in the airport I have fallen in love with talking long walks through the airport book stores and selecting out a new book to read. Haha I genuinely get excited when I get to the airport early so I can purchase a book:)
- Finding new work clothes because I have literally none in my closet… or what I keep telling myself! I need to get better at finding clothes that can be brunch/dinner outfit but also work appropriate. Y’all gave me great feedback about wanting to see more work wear so I have been on the hunt lately!
- Lastly, I have been LOVING being at home! There is nothing like your bed and having your normal routine!! When I was traveling, I was staying up late, waking up early, not exercising regularly so being back in my own place has helped stabilize my life a little haha. I don’t know how travel bloggers keep up with life while being on the road!
Hope this was a fun little post for y’all!!
Love this kinds of posts too! So in the same boat on not finding any new clothes! But totally am excited for fall! St. Louis has a couple more months of HOT temps so unfortunately I’m stuck in summer clothes ?
