Today is officially the last day of summer despite the fact that the high here is 93 and we're not even going to talk about the humidity. Every once in awhile I get just a hint of crisp air and that reminds me that fall just might happen one of these days!
Simply Orange Orange Juice - I've always liked orange juice but it was never something I went out of my way to drink. This school year I've started getting up earlier so that I can be awake before I start dealing with the Tornado who is also not a morning person and I've really enjoyed drinking a glass of orange juice while I make my To Do list and before I switch to coffee.
YouTube - I've gotten obsessed with YouTube videos lately. I've been watching a lot of makeup videos but also some lifestyle and family stuff. One of my favorites is RachhLovesLive she has a makeup channel to but on this channel she focuses more on trying out click bait recipes and Pinterest organization hacks and stuff like that. She's hilarious and really upbeat. I've also really been liking The Whole Happy Life and Amy Landino which are all about healthy habits and improvement. The Whole Happy Life is very calming where as Amby Landino is very upbeat and focuses more on productivity.
Speaking of YouTube I've been loving yoga on YouTube. I've been a fan of Yoga with Adriene for ages but I recently found SarahBeth Yoga which I think I might like even more. Her relax or nighttime yoga videos are perfection. I also really love the PopSugar Fitness channel. They have all kinds of workouts of all different lengths and my favorite thing is they always have a timer in the corner that shows how long you have left. There's one instructor I don't love but all the rest have been really great and easy to follow.
NYX Epic Ink Eyeliner - I love a good eyeliner but sometimes it can be a bit too dramatic looking or smudge so I love bedraggled by the end of the day. This one is really versatile and I can do a really narrow line or a dramatic line really easily and this stuff stays on - like being outside all day in 90 degree heat and being in the pool staying on. Plus it's pretty inexpensive and performs better than eyeliner I paid 3x as much for.
My/Mo Mochi Ice Cream - These are these little dough covered balls of ice cream. They're a bit different so they took some getting used to but I love them. My favorite is the Mango though the chocolate is a close second. The strawberry is tasty too but the green tea flavor and I aren't friends even though I usually love green tea. They're so refreshing and portion controlled.
What non-bookish stuff did you love this summer?
I hope your humidity dies down soon! I love Simply Orange juice too- that and their Simply Lemonade, I buy both all the time.
ReplyDeleteI use YouTube a lot for documentaries on my favourite subjects and grabbing episodes of shows we don't get screened in the UK. I don't follow people just posting videos of them doing stuff. I'm not a makeup, fashion and jewellery kind of girl!
ReplyDeleteThat ice cream looks really unique and different. Are they in regular grocery stores? I'm hooked on Simply LimeAde and have about 3 bottles in the fridge right now. I'm not a fan of orange juice unless I need it in a recipe. You've shared some great info about Youtube and thanks. I've been keeping up with my Firestick and Netflix for movies and new tv programs, and making some extra cash with surveys. I'm always looking for new eyelines that work, so I'll need to give this one a try. I had a huge yard sale planned that was cancelled due to the hurricane, here in NC, so I'm working to reschedule that and get rid of some of this clutter that keep showing up. Happy Saturday and Hugs! RO
ReplyDeleteI tried YouTube yoga videos for about a week. I should get back to it. I don’t remember why I stopped.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
You watch some interesting Youtube podcasts. I started buying that mochi since the girls got hooked on it after a neighbor they were playing with brought some out.
ReplyDeleteI need to check out the yoga videos!
ReplyDeleteSummer always seems like the longest season to me. I am not sure why. Haha Fall kind of snuck up on me even though I've been anticipating it. I was so disappointed when I went to get a replacement eyeliner and found they discontinued the kind I use. It worked so well for me for years. They gave me another kind to try and I hate it. Oh well.
ReplyDeleteEven as long as summer felt, it really didn't feel like much of one. I think all the musical rehearsals wore on us. I am glad we were able to visit my mom in Sacramento for a week at least.
I have started watching more non-music related YouTube videos, but mine have been about keeping bugs as pets, and people who buy mystery boxes of returned goods from Amazon and other shopping sites. 😂
ReplyDeleteI love mochi! Mmmm... 🍨 I have only had it in restaurants, though, I'll have to look for it at the grocery store. 😋
I have to stay away from YouTube or I end up looking at weird stuff. It has been hot here as well and I have to say that I am kind of ready for it to get just a tad cooler. I have never heard of Mochi but is sounds tasty!
ReplyDeleteLOL they are interesting. I had a coupon so got a box for free. Strange texture. The ice cream part was so good, though. I ended up just popping mine and sucking the ice cream out of them. ::snort::
