June: My Month from A - Z
Like dust disappearing in the wind, another month has come & gone. June was filled with exploring bits of San Diego, attending webinars, as well as delightful fair food & fun. All you have to do is read my June from A to Z!
Alias - I always have a show to binge watch. Most recently it was The X-Files, then Gilmore Girls, then Breaking Bad, & now it's Alias. Created by J.J. Abrams, the mastermind behind Lost, this spy drama with a kick-ass female lead has me biting my nails with every cliff hanger.
Bullet Journal - I'm barely getting into the bullet journal trend & have much to learn. Right now mine is basically a messy to do list. I have much to learn.
Candles - Carmen the candle fiend got more candles?! Why yes, it's true. Four new ones!
Donut Peach - Because doughnut peaches are healthier for you than donuts. How cute are these?
Excitement - There is much to be grateful for & excited for. Take a moment to identify with that is. I'm excited for the future & where I'll be a month from now!
Flowers - Spring is over, but I wouldn't know it. I've been buying flowers like nobody's business.
Goats - Goats are cute, yo. Such an underrated animal. I went to the San Diego County Fair & gushed over the cuteness of the goats.
How I Met Your Mother - I've watched this show several times through. I just finished the entire series once again & still hate the finale. Ugh!
Imagination - Keep your mind open & your imagination active.
Jewelry - I found the most perfect little choker necklace. It's simple & classy. I already know it's going to be a well worn favorite.
Karma's a Beach - We got this shirt on sale after Christmas. I loved the design & couldn't pass it up. Fred wears it all the time. He claims he doesn't like the graphic & only wears it because it's a perfect fit.
Lavender - I love lavender. Enough said.
Macarons - Fred surprised me with a couple of macarons: one was Earl Grey & the other was coconut — two of my favorite flavors. They were incredible.
No - Don't forget the value of saying no. I rejected several offers for partnership, sponsored posts, & collaborations simply because it didn't wholly fit my blog or brand. Don't be afraid to say no. You don't need to accept everything that comes your way.
Outfits - I've been taking outfit photos more often to have regular outfit of the day posts. Yay!
Purple Basil - I've had regular basil & Thai basil, which can occasionally be purple, but this purple basil was something else. It's beautiful.
Roosters - Although they're not the friendliest creatures, roosters are quite pretty.
Stationary - I love opening up new stationary. My pen hovers over the first page, never quite sure where to begin.
Tommy Hilfiger - I got the most perfect pair of platform wedge sandals for summer. The only thing missing is a pedicure.
University - I graduated from university just over four years ago. I can't even believe it's been that long & I often wonder where the time went, if I'm where I thought I'd be at this point.
Veins - Well, it's summer. That means we're bound for hot hot heat & bulging veins. If you didn't know, your veins pop out in the heat in an effort to cool your body off.
Work Views - If you're going to be working you might as well have a good view. I've been traveling more for my social media work & got to frequent some beach side cities like a San Clemente & Coronado.
Alias keeps popping up on my Hulu page and I have wondered if I should give it a go. Maybe it's time! I'm actually about to start a bullet journal too; I've done research for several weeks but have decided it's not necessary for me to use mine for a planner, particularly. I want mine more for lists and "vision boards" and quotes...stuff like that. I'll also be searching for donut peaches after this....
ReplyDeleteThis article is really interesting ! Time flies, I'm gonna be graduated as well soon, sooo strange !

Great post! I love how you presented your month in an A-Z form! I totally agree with the value of saying 'No' and those donut peaches look like a great idea! (I LOVE donuts, so perhaps I can trick myself into a healthier alternative!)

My June was lovely as I went for holidays, however, it was the shortest month. I love re-watching How I Met Your Mother and yesss, I also hate how the last episode ends. I think they could do better with the finale.

Watch it! So many twists & turns. I'm loving Alias. Ideally I want my bullet journal to be like that as well, I'm just terrible at it at the moment. :]
ReplyDeleteHooray for almost graduating. :]
ReplyDeleteAhh no spoilers. I'm almost done with Alias season 3! :]
ReplyDeleteI haven't quite tricked myself yet, but a donut peach is a good idea. :]
ReplyDeleteHave you had the donut peach? I've yet to try it. :]
ReplyDeleteBullet journals are all the rage! Lots of Youtube videos to check out. :]
ReplyDeleteHappy 3 year graduation anniversary. :]
ReplyDeleteYeah, the HIMYM finale stinks! :]
ReplyDeleteTime flies! :]
ReplyDeleteYes! I want to eat one. :]
ReplyDeleteSometimes you need to say no! :]
ReplyDeleteYum yum yum. :]
ReplyDeleteThere are alternate endings, but I mean, there's only one true one. Unfortunately. :p
