July Recap

July Recap



WOW! July you MADE UP for the month of June. So much happened in the month of July it's honestly hard to unpack. I manifested more money and opportunity this summer and it's totally coming true. I was promoted at work, got a raise at my part-time job and I'm so busy working that my savings account is growing tremendously and I love and am grateful for it! I saw a lot of friends and family this month, and my soccer team is kicking ass in this summer league. Besides having to go back to the office this month, July was a really good month.

Highs: Remember how I lost one of my favorite earrings last month? I found it!! I actually found it just a week later, but I'm so so so happy I found it. My ears feel complete again šŸ˜….  Another high moment was that I got a promotion!!! This was long awaited and way overdue but it's finally here! Meet your new production coordinator for an international magazine šŸ˜œ. Okay—another high is I was feature in THE LADY GANG PODCAST INSTAGRAM ACCOUNT. Are you freaking out? Cause I'm freaking out. I took this photo last fall and the girls reposted it on their stories, but they just shared it as an in-feed post and it's freaking cool! Click here to see the post.


Lows: I'm back in the office. THE OFFICE! I have an hour long commute now and I miss the work from home life. With this commute I am also tired like all the time. I'm just exhausted with this commute and work, etc.



Favorites 


Beneath the Stars Book // This book. THIS BOOK. It's been a while since I've really delved into a book like that, but let me tell you, it's one of the best books I've read in a while. It's not life changing or anything, it's just a fictional romance books but those are my favorite. I bought the second book in the series for next day delivery because I was that impressed. I'm bummed though because the other 3 books have nothing to do with the main characters..ok well not nothing they're still in the books, but it's just not about their love story so we'll see if I like the other three books as much as the first one. But "Beneath the Stars" is a great summer read, highly recommend. 


My Tattoo // I got a tattoo! I'm a big kid now!! And yes, I am obsessed with it. It's an image of my dog and I can't stop looking at it and smiling every time I do!


Mighty Patch Pimple Patches // These things have been a life saver. I don't know if it's from having to go back into the office, but my skin has been acting up. So these little patches are able to save my skin at night and have me looking refreshed the next morning!


SheIn Evil Eye Earrings // Since I lost my favorite evil eye earrings in the end of June (I found it though) I've been scared to lose it again. For my Texas trip I bought new clothes and I got these huggie evil eye earrings from SheIn and they're so cute! They haven't tarnished and they don't bother my ears at all! 10/10 I recommend. 


Mystery Toys // This has been mine and my boyfriend's favorite thing lately. These mystery toys are so fun and we love the Blue's Clues characters and Harry Potter wands! These make great mini gifts, stocking stuffers or just to see someone smile because it's a literal surprise every day!


Morning Meditation // Since I have to drive an hour to work every morning now and wake up super early, I started to listen to morning meditations on YouTube and Spotify. They're just 10-15 minute things but it really helps me relax and prepare mentally for the day ahead. 


Facial // I did something I almost never do—I treated myself. I booked a facial appointment for myself at Massage Envy and I have to give it a 10/10. I was so relaxed and my skin looked so much better afterwards. Highly recommend.
