Monthly Roundup: August 2016


I can't believe another month has come and gone - I'm officially posting from my apartment at school now! Here's what I've been loving this month:

video of the month: ten item wardrobe

I have been really into minimalist wardrobes lately (as I'm sure you can tell from my Capsule Wardrobe Challenge!)... I watched this video as I was researching capsule wardrobes on YouTube and found it to be so interesting. Especially with my best friend in Paris this semester, I loved this video! Be sure to check it out :)

food of the month: blueberries

Guys, I don't even know what has been up with me this summer, but blueberry anything is really doing it for me right now. Blueberry smoothies, blueberry coffee (my absolute favorite!), and blueberry ice cream are just some of the treats I have been enjoying all month and all summer long. You can't see the blueberry ice cream in this photo (the top scoop was pistachio), but WOW it was amazing. I decided to head to a local ice cream shop down the shore with my brother one day, and we don't usually go there but I was pleasantly surprised by how delicious this blueberry ice cream was! I have been craving it again ever since!!

album of the month: views

I seriously couldn't pick a single song this month, and even though I'm a little late to the bandwagon, I have been listening to Views nonstop lately! It's been the go-to album for longer car rides with my brother and sister. Songs 10-16 are all absolutely amazing, but my favorite is Child's Play, even though it's soooo hard to pick. If you haven't given it a listen already, be sure to do so!

moment of the month: summer reading

I have been reading so much this summer, and I'm super happy with every single item I've picked up! I grabbed so many books at my library over the summer and was worried that I wouldn't enjoy them, but I have really enjoyed sitting down to read every single book I got this summer. I even read Where'd You Go, Bernadette in two days, whereas I would normally take a week to read a book of that size! I posted Part I of my summer reading list earlier in the season, but be sure to look out for Part II coming soon! PS - check out my favorite blueberry coffee again hiding in the background!

quote of the month

I tend to believe in two very opposing theories that 1. everything happens the way it is supposed to and 2. that you have to make your own successes, which means that sometimes my thought processes get jumbled and I'm not sure which path I'm supposed to take. While I know that success doesn't come without hard work and that in order to reach our goals we have to make them happen on our own, I also know that sometimes certain things won't 'click' at certain times. I feel like there are times in our lives when maybe the one thing we want to happen isn't right for us right now, or at other times the perfect thing happens to fall into our lap when we least expect it. So no matter what, use fate and free will in tandem, trust the timing of your life, and you'll see great things happen.
