Here's to gradually getting back into the blogging life. No grand recap but I just wanted to share a few of my favorite links. I've seen other people/bloggers do these posts before and I always love it so here goes mine!
1. Listened to THIS motivational talk today and while sometimes I feel like he throws out one too many cliche lines, I really did enjoy it and the message about turning your pain into something good!
2. Who else has been jamming to the new Taylor Swift song? When I first listened to it, I didn't like it at all. But it's really grown on me and now I find myself loving it! I also loved this article that broke down the entire music video and what I missed.
3. The image above is my current desktop background and I found it here. I typically have the same image for years at a time, but decided I want to try and switch it up more because it gives me a good refresh! She has a million different backgrounds and you might find yourself looking for hours lol.
4. Anyone love conspiracy theories? I recently learned about the Mandela Effect and my mind was blown. Especially about the Bernstein Bears conspiracy theory. I had to go dig up an old book because I honestly couldn't believe it!!
5. Miley Cyrus got a little too crazy for my liking but I feel like she's toned it down and I'm really enjoying her new stuff like this song.
6. Last night I watched a documentary about Princess Diana on Hulu and I just started another one that's on Netflix haha. It'll be 20 years since she passed away this week and I've grown very intrigued by it all. Including this article about some of the conspiracy theories surrounding her death. What do you think? I totally believe them!!
7. We've eaten out at a few new places around Atlanta lately and some of our favorites include this, this and THIS!
8. I got a facial done a few weeks ago because my skin has been awful. I learned that I have hormonal acne (around my chin & jaw) and so it doesn't really matter what I do on the outside of my skin. It matters more about the internal side. I started taking this because she recommended that it'll help balance me out and reduce my acne. She swore by it! I've been taking it for 2 weeks and I've noticed a difference. She also recommend this. So I'm going to try them out and give an update later if I notice a difference. Crossing my fingers it works! Anyone know of other products I should try?
9. I really want to read THIS. I've heard great reviews about it. I'm currently reading this. SO many people have recommend it and I've been reading it since February (yikes). It's been a little slow for me but maybe I just haven't sat down long enough to really enjoy it. So far this year I've also read this, this, this and this and I've enjoyed them all.
10. Anyone have any items on your list for Labor Day sales? I am in desperate need of a new vacuum and really want this one so I'm hoping there's a good sale for it! I love following this blogger for great deals. I follow her on instagram too and I obviously don't know her, but I feel like she's really down to earth and I love what she posts, especially when she shares her testimony.
Today is my brother-in-law, Jacom's birthday! He passed away 9 years ago this fall and I miss him lots. It's also my father-in-law's birthday! Happy Birthday to them both <3
Hope everyone is having a happy Monday!!
