July 2017

Wow! Can you believe it is almost August!? This month has been one of my favorites this year! So many food holidays were this month. So many birthdays were this month (including mine). July is just always an all around good month. And just like last month, I have a few favorites.

My first favorite are these four different nail polishes. All of them a gorgeous shade of blue. From left to right the shades are Midnight Mod, Digi-Teal, Beatnik and S-teal the Show.

My second favorite is this penguin phone case. It is so adorable and I'm super reluctant to put my Otter Box case back on my phone. You can find this case on Amazon.

Just like last month, I made a Spotify playlist. If you want to see what music I was listening to in the month of July feel free to give it a listen.

P.S. I am still raising money for my trip abroad to Italy. I am even closer to my goal with only around $1600 more dollars to raise. If you are able to donate anything it would be greatly appreciated as well as a share.

July Goals

It's the best month of the year, JULY! The month of July is my favorite month because summer is in full swing and so many of my friends, including myself, were born in July so it's just a lit month!

Like last month, I have made some goals for this month. If you want to see how I did on last weeks goals, check out my June 2017 blog post.

For this month I have six different goals I want to achieve. The first is to workout at least 4 times a week. Physical health, I have learned is very important when it comes to your mental health. My second goal is to continue to read anytime I get the chance. Reading is so important, as I have found I always learn something new from any book I am reading and I love the growth that comes out of reading. Another goal I want to achieve this month is to cook for myself at least 3 times. I have been trying to get in the spirit of trying out new recipes and cooking but have been failing miserably and feel that it would be good to start with this small goal. Going into my final year at university, I really want to work for a firm who will help me grow in architecture so I want to have my portfolio updated to the best it can be by the end of this month. Last month I made the goal to create a Spotify playlist for each month and that is a goal I want to continue. If you want to check out last month's playlist check the link the below.  My final goal is to raise $500 for my study abroad trip to Rome. I made this goal and was really close to reaching it. I have already raised $100 so far for this month and would really appreciate any help. If you are able to donate or share my link, it is below as well as my Venmo and Square Cash usernames. Thank you in advance to any of you who donate!

June 2017

The month of June just flew by, who knew we would be halfway through 2017 this quickly.

Earlier this month I created a post on what goals I wanted to achieve for the month of June, June Goals. I was really close to achieving all six goals but fell short on a couple. I wanted to see if I could carry a conversation using only Bitmoji's and quickly realized how hard that was. I also didn't cook a meal a week but thought I would rethink my goal to a more realistic goal that you will see in my July 2017 Goals post. Lastly, my goal to rais $500 for my study abroad trip was only missed by $117, this goal actually went better than I thought it would and am super thankful for all the support I have been given. It really means a lot!

Instead of making two separate posts for how my goals have gone and my end of the month favorites it would be easier to just combine them in one post. So here are my June Favorites.

My first favorites are 4 different nail polish colors that I have been wearing throughout the month.

I am a sucker for Sally Hansen brand nail polishes and these are some of my favorite colors for summer. From left to right the names are Tribal Sun, Pep-Plum, Greyfitti, and Boho a-Go-Go. You can find these colors at your local drugstore or beauty store.

My next favorite is this amazing book that is all about living your best life and being your best self.

I am obsessed with this book and have loved how it has changed my way of thinking into a positive. You can find this amazing book at your local Barnes & Nobles or on Amazon.

My last favorite is a playlist I created for the month of June. I love all music types and you will notice that on this playlist. I hope you enjoy and be on the look out for my other Spotify Playlists.

Enjoy the playlist!
