2018 Favorites: February

It's already the end of the month, can you believe it? February is one of my favorite months because of Valentine's day and all the love it brings, but also it is Black History month! So, I want to start this post with one of my absolute favorites, in honor of Black History Month, and that is...*drum roll*

BLACK PANTHER!

I am not one to enjoy superhero/action movies but this movie was incredible. Just like books I have a hard time re-watching movies that I have already seen. But, I could see this movie a million times over. I am tempted to buy it on DVD when it comes out and I don't even have a DVD Player. Now I am being a little over the top but you catch my drift; the movie is great and you should go check it out.

My next favorite is this very affordable nail polish that I found at CVS the other day. It is by the brand pop-arazzi and for a drugstore brand nail polish, it actually is very nice, on my nails at least. The color lasts for about 5-7 days without a top or base coat.

Find at CVS!

I got mine in the color Info Red which is a vibrant red color. The nail polish as of right now retails for about $2.99.

Books. That is all I can say. Once I started to force myself to make time in my schedule to leisurely read, I have fallen back in love with reading. My favorite book for this month is Turtles All the Way Down by John Green. The book is a nice easy read but my favorite book by John Green is still Looking For Alaska. So far that book has had the most impact on me over all his other books. Give Turtles All the Way Down a read though.

Buy it on Amazon.

My last bit of favorites are all music. The first song is by the talented, Drake. I bet you can guess which song it is...if you guessed God's Plan then you were right. Drake filmed a portion of the music video at the university I attend and I may or may not make an appearance in it. You will have to check it out to see.

The next song I've had on repeat is by artist LianeV, the song is titled Curious and it just puts you in your feels, both good and bad, well at least for me. Give it a listen and let me know what you think.

So, you know how Spotify has Discover Weekly? They have really been giving me all the hits with new artists and songs. Thanks to them I found the amazing Sylo Nozra. He is a Toronto based R&B singer and I am in love with his song Right Here on his current album Fervor.

Last but not least, is the song SUTRA by Colombian singer-songwriter Sebastián Yatra and Dalmata. Now that I am trying to become fluent in Spanish I listen to more music from Spanish speaking countries. You may not understand the words but the beat and flow will get your body moving.

We took a tour of the city center and got delicious churros, I don't remember where we got them from but just Google best churros in Madrid.
