Fun fact: I'm obsessed with watching youtube videos. Some of my favorite videos to watch are monthly favorite videos. It's fun to see what products, apps, clothes, food, music, etc. people have been loving and get ideas on some stuff that I'll love, too! So as I was chugging through cardio day this morning, it hit me. Why not start doing monthly blog posts on some of my favorite things.
So here you have it, month #1 of favorites!
1. iPhone 6: I only got this four days ago but it was by far the highlight of my entire month. I had my iPhone 4s since 2011 and it finally basically gave up on me. So, I put on my big girl pants and bought myself the iPhone 6. It's so beautiful and perfect and I love it!
2. March Madness: I have been 100% addicted to watching the games and checking my bracket. I'd say I'm doing pretty well, too! I have 3 out of 4 of the final four teams. Can't wait to see it come down to Kentucky and Duke in the championship! Go Blue Devils!
3. iHeart Radio: I used to listen to the Bobby Bones Show every morning on my commute, which was about an hour every day. Since I've graduated, I've only been catching 5-10 minute snips here and there when I'm on my way somewhere. iHeart Radio lets me listen to them every morning, including while I workout!
4. Burt's Bees Pomegranate Chapstick: I'm not huge on lipstick and I've yet to find a lip stain that agrees with me, so this chappy is perfect! It gives me just a little bit of color on my lips while making them feel incredible and look super healthy!
5. ODU Men's Basketball: Piggybacking off of March Madness, I had to include my Monarchs! My alma mater made it all the way to the NIT Semifinals in Madison Square Garden last night. ODU was such a small university when I graduated high school and my mind is literally blown by how big they've gotten in five years. And yes, I did bawl like a baby when I heard the crowd doing ODU chants on ESPN last night. M-O-N-A-R-C-H-S, MONARCHS!
6. Blender Bottle: Since I've been a good girl and have been going to the gym, I decided to reward myself and spend some money on protein powder and a blender bottle. (Okay, technically the boyfriend bought me this bottle, but still!)
7. Lilly Planner: As I've stated time and time again, I'm a planner and a list maker, plus- I've been working crazy hours at work this past month while still trying to have a social life. My planner has literally become my best friend. I have everything color coordinated and written out so it's super easy to attempt to organize my life.
8. Bath & Body Works Sleep Lotion: Remember that resolution about organizing my life? Well, it had it's rewards. I literally found so much stuff in my room that I didn't even know I had. Like this favorite: Lavender Chamomile bedtime lotion! I put this on at night right before bed and it's like magic. I'm knocked out within 20 minutes and I sleep all through the night. Plus I love the morning after smell that lingers the next day.
9. Rimmel London Perfect Match Concealer: I never understood what people meant by dark circles and under eye bags. But boy, do I now. This concealer has been doing an awesome job for my under eyes, plus (!!) it's pretty good for blemish coverage and a great highlighter!
10. Naked Basics 2 Palette: Babe bought me this for Valentine's Day (along with the Anastasia contour palette-- that will most likely be featured in the future when I can figure it out!) and I'm obsessed. Urban Decay is heaven on earth when it comes to eye shadow. I've used it every single day since I got it. Love love love it!
11. Lilly Pulitzer for Target: Do I still feel like Lilly coming to Target is a dream? Yes. Have I done hours upon hours of research on this line? Yes. Do I have a spreadsheet of what I am buying from this line coordinated by online only and in store purchases? Yes. Am I absolutely insane for all of this? ....moving on.
12. Bucket List: I actually stole this from my BFF. She was talking about hers one day and with some encouragement from her, I started one. A few things on the list include: going to a game in Yankee Stadium, attending Mardi Gras, and vacationing in Palm Beach while channeling the queen herself.
I hope wherever you're reading this from, it's warm and there's birds chirping and flowers blooming! Thanks for reading, have a great day!
