Things That Made Me Happy in August

Here is what made me happy this month:

• Celebrating a few family members' birthdays
• Going swimming a couple times, with a friend
• Getting another month closer to finishing my internship
• Having a few extra days off from my internship, to rest and recharge
• Getting the merch I ordered from The Ingham Family (teddy bear, backpack, and tote bag)
• Getting the t-shirt I ordered from Knorpp and South
• A little girl saying hi to me as I was working
• Going to the last couple Thursday Night Out festivals in town
• Thinking about, and somewhat planning, a future trip (writing down ideas of things to do in the towns/state I want to go to), for after I graduate from college (yes, this made me happy!!)
• Going to an arts and crafts festival in town, before work
• Trying peaches for the first time, at my internship, and actually liking them
• Trying, and loving, a chicken poke bowl I got from a new restaurant in town
• Meeting, and spending a few minutes with, a mini Collie dog, that reminded of a dog my maternal grandpa had when I was little

All in all, a good month for me.

Current Favorites

It takes me a while to come up with enough things I love, to make a list of favorites. But, I did it again; here is another list of my current favorites!

• Garnier Whole Blends Oat Delicacy Shampoo and Conditioner
• An all-girl band called Cimorelli (you can check out their YouTube channel HERE)
• "I Choose Joy" tank top from The Frey Life Shop (Mary and Peter Frey of The Frey Life on YouTube)
• Marc Anthony Grow Long Super Fast Miracle Treatment for hair
• Violinist/Singer Gaelynn Lea
  I am partial to the violin, having played it for a few years, so I was excited to learn about Gaelynn and her music. She is absolutely amazing!!!
• YouTube channel 2 in a Zoo from the Chandler family(as well as their second channel, Behind the Zoo)
• YouTube channel Grace for the Millers from the Miller family
• Planners/bullet journals
  Planners and bullet journals really help in getting things organized, and kept in a place where I don't have to remember a million things in my mind
• Downton Abbey TV Show
  I know this show has been around for a while, and isn't on anymore, but I love it!!
