June Favorites

Hi hi! I saw a fun IG story template today that was all about June favs and it inspired me to write this post. Not gonna lie, while mentally answering some of the questions, I thought there was definitely a ton of room for improvement and discovery in my life. Not that I like to repeat things in life, it's just so easy to stick to what you know! I think this exercise is going to help me reflect on things I learned to love and push me to seek more newness in my life too. Okay let's get this month's recap started!

June Favorites

TV Show:

Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Martin and I became Bravo fans over the 2020 quarantine and binge-watched Vanderpump Rules and Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. To say we were excited to watch these LA ladies again is an understatement!

Film:

Cruella! It was so so good! Emma Stone did a fantastic job and I absolutely loved the costumes and fashion. The storyline was amazing and am crossing my fingers for a sequel. It's streaming on Disney+ for an additional cost and highly recommend anyone watch it. 

Snack:

Hmm does a green juice count? It's not chips or chocolate and maybe doesn't fit the 'snack' bill, but I love a good smoothie! My current favorite blend: Spinach, frozen mango, papaya, pineapple, banana, ginger powder and coconut water. 

Activity:

Running! I ran my first half marathon on my birthday and I thought I'd never want to do that again, but after the shock, I think I'd definitely do that again lol. Honestly I'm not sure when I became so into running, but it's my therapy and I really enjoy it. 

YouTuber:

I'm gonna have to change this up next month because I don't watch a single YouTube channel except for Laura Vitale's cooking show lol. Any recs!?

Wardrobe Piece:

These JustFab sandals. They're so cute and the perfect shoe when you want to up your outfit, but not wear a taller heel. It's a casual sandal and am loving it's nude shade! Also because I can't stick to just one, my new Adidas UltraBoost sneakers. Martin gifted them to me for my birthday and they're the Louboutin of running shoes! Game. Changers. For. Real. 

Book:

Another thing I have to change, and been wanting to change! I need to read more. I have a book I never finished, so I think I'll pick it back up. 

Song:

Love is Religion by Dua Lipa! It's such a fun song and always puts me in such a great mood. 

App:

Canva! You can make a ton of fun things on there and it really helped me create an invoice I had to share for an upcoming partnership. Super easy to use and they have a ton of great templates for many projects. 

Beauty Product:

Essie nail polish and gel setter. I can't go to Target without picking up a new polish color! It's changed my at-home manicure life and really look forward to paint nights. The gel setter is so worth it and actually helps your mani last. I did an IGTV video discussing it if you guys want to head there to check it out. 

Podcast:

Your Own Backyard. It's a true crime podcast that goes over the sad story of Kristen Smart's disappearance, evidence and a suspect that remained unbothered for so long. It's only about 8 episodes long and the best part is the case was picked back up as a result of this well-produced pod. 

Instagram:

@salty_cocina! I LOVEEEE Mexican food and this account makes tons of IG Reels and IGTV videos that shows you how to make authentic Mexican dishes. Every dish looks delicious and she does a great job at simplifying it all. 

Woo! It's been a great month of favs. Off to discover new things in July! Chat with you guys soon. 

xo,
