Listening to: 10 Things To Tell You (podcast). This is my favorite episode so far.
Re-watching: The Crown. I wasn’t a fan of season 2 the first time I watched it, but I like it more after re-watching the series. I think the weakest episodes are the ones that focus on Margaret. I can’t wait for season 3!
Reading: Save Me the Plums: My Gourmet Memoir by Ruth Reichl. This Modern Mrs. Darcy Summer Reading Guide pick is a foodie’s delight. Plus, there are recipes.
Shopping: Since May was my birthday month, I put my birthday discounts to good use. I’m, also, shopping more on ThredUP and am looking forward to the box of new to me clothes arriving soon.
Vlogging about: My latest beauty empties.

Omg you look so beautiful in this headshot!!! So proud of all the progress you are making with your pageant goals and happy to cheer you along! PS: I really need to try one of these sub boxes; I say it every month!
I am still yet to watch the crown! Is it good? Must be if you’re re-watching it, ha ha! Great month update! Birthday discounts are always so good!

Great pageant headshot! And thanks for the heads up about Ruth Reichl’s memoir:)
i love love love thred up. so awesome. i keep meaning to watch the crown, i just have such a short attention span for tv shows. one day lol. i’ve been trying to walk outside more too, i always regret not doing it enough when it starts getting colder.
You look beautiful in your head shot and I totally agree with you on season 2 of The Crown. Those episodes were my least favorite too.
Save Me the Plums is one I’ve seen on a bunch of lists! I may have to pick it up for the fall. Love your headshot! Good luck with your intentions this month!
