What I’m Listening to on Audible; vol. 1

What I'm Listening to on Audible || sharing my thoughts and insights on the audio book, You are a Badass by Jen Sincero

Has anyone else here hopped aboard the audio book train? I really love to read, although, with the hustle and bustle of life, it's typically the first priority of mine to go out of the window. I downloaded Audible on a whim one day after one of my friends raved about listening to a book on her commute to work and my life is forever changed. I typically listen to books that are motivating whenever I'm in the car and my motivation has already vastly improved. There's something about listening to an inspiring role model first thing in the morning that really gets you geared up to get sh!t done in your day, I guess. ;) My latest audio book obsession has been You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero. I actually loved it so…

What’s on My Nightstand ; vol. 4

What's Currently on my Nighstand || Are you looking for a new book recommendation? I've got you covered! In my latest nightstand series, I'm sharing the 3 books that I'm either currently reading, or have queued up for later! Check it out. :)

  It's been a hot minute since we last talked about what books are currently taking up space on my nightstand! I've always loved to read books in their true paper form (I have yet to convert to a kindle- does anyone here use them? Let me know your thoughts in the comments!), but lately, I've also been really into audio books. I'm planning on doing a separate post covering my favorite books to listen to, but thought it was loooong overdue to do a physical reading list! I've found that the books I prefer to listen to are vastly different from the books I prefer to read, so luckily, this series will continue! I've been reading a lot more lately, putting more of an emphasis on creating time for it, so this series should…

Feel Good Friday; vol. 22

Friday Link Love

From the post, The Very Best Way to Order the Starbucks Pink + Purple Drink  I know I probably say this a lot, but Friday, it is so good to see you! My plans for a low-key month have actually been succeeding! After trips to Cancun with friends, a beach week with family, spontaneous weekend trips to DC, a random weekend in Charlotte, and working my life away, this relaxing month of August was exactly what the doctor ordered. [And yes, I'm referring to myself as a doctor here. ;) ] From the post, Labor Day Weekend Getaway What has your month consisted of so far? Also, can we talk for a second just how close fall is? I went to Costco with Dj last week and there was HALLOWEEN decor out... what! Of…

7 Blogs I Read Every Day

From the post, My Top 10 Songs to Listen to While Relaxing TGIF! Can you believe it's the last weekend of July? I know I can't. I don't know what it is, but lately time + subsequently life, is seeming to fly by. It might be because this summer has been so go-go-go for me. From spending an extended night in Charlotte, NC, then directly flying to Cancun with Dj + my best friends, to exploring Mayan ruins, to going up north to DC, NJ, + MD for a spur of the moment trip, this past week in OBX, to having friends come and visit any weekend we're home, I haven't had a chance to pause this summer. Don't get me wrong, I love always having friends visiting, going on trips, and having things…

7 Blogs I Read Every Day

From the post, 3 Books to Read this October Happy Friday, little loves! Today, Dj and I area headed to the Outer Banks in North Carolina to meet up with my family for my mom's birthday week. We're taking the full week (Friday-Friday) and I am SO excited to get away for some much needed R+R. This summer has been very go-go-go for us, so I'm looking forward to pouring myself a glass of skinny fruit sangria, munching on some creamy roasted garlic hummus, and curling up with a good book on the beach. What are you getting into this week? Whatever it is, I hope it's a great one! Enjoy the rest of your Friday and procrastinate a little with some of my favorite reads this week! xx   If you’ve ever thought…

"Jacksonville-Florida-Sunset"

From the post: Skinny Fruit Punch Sangria Friday, you are looking mighty fine today. ;) Any one else have one of those weeks that just seems to go on forever? There was something in the air this week and I am ready to head home and pour a glass of that skinny fruit punch sangria. This weekend will be one for the books! One of my best friends from college, Katie, is in town so we'll be hitting up the beach, maybe make a quick stop in adorable St. Augustine, and definitely have a great time. Do you have anything special planned for this weekend? Whatever it is, I hope it's a great one!  And for now, to get you through the rest of your Friday, here are the links I've been crushing on…

What’s on My Nightstand; vol. 3

"Good-Young-Adult-Books-To-Read"

When it comes to my nighttime routine, I'm trying my best to incorporate reading back into my schedule. Everyone has a goal list; mine covers an array of physical bucket list items, to smaller goals that focus on personal growth. For me, when I set aside time to read, I feel much more relaxed throughout the days. I'm not sure why exactly, but I've always found reading to be relaxing, enriching, and something that connects me to new thoughts I hadn't had beforehand. I like to put myself in the story as the character, ditch my everyday life for a little while, and focus on a life of another; either fictional or real. Reading, unfortunately, is one of those enjoyable activities of mine that seem to be the first to be forgotten about. I'll…

3 Books To Read This October

7 Blogs I Read Every Day

What is it about fall that's just so cozy? I'm loving the cooling weather, the pumpkin scented candles & baked goods, and of course, overly fuzzy blankets. Another thing that comes with fall is my reading list jumps up. Since I'm no longer hitting the beach or going out as many nights as I do in the summertime, I try to give my brain more of a break from tv & flip open a book. For the month of October, I'm focusing on more serious reads. In the summer, I'm all about the lighthearted books I can relax with by the ocean, but in the fall/winter when I'm cozied up at home, I like books that make me think on a deeper level. 1. Little Women by Louisa May Alcott Somehow, I have yet to…
