Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is a non-bookish freebie so I'm listing ten of my (non-bookish) favorite things.
1. Baking - I've reorganized my office and made it where my cookbooks are easier to access and organized which has really reminded me just how much I love baking.
2. Smoothies - I've been obsessed with smoothies lately and have been keeping my blender busy and having one once a day. My current recipe is a frozen banana, a cup of frozen fruit (strawberry is the current winner), a cup of spinach, 1/2 cup high protein yogurt, 1/2 cup orange juice, and 1 scoop of protein. I'd probably have this easily 2 meals out of 3
3. Podcasts - For years audiobooks have beat out podcasts but lately podcasts have been getting some time. My current favorites are DNA:ID (true crime), From the Front Porch (bookish), and How Did This Get Made (bad movie commentary) but there are a lot in the running.
4. Agatha Christie stuff - I stumbled upon an endcap at Barnes and Noble not that long ago that was filled with Agatha Christie merch - there's book cover notecards, notebooks with the book covers on them, pens, and a reading journal as well as a whole bunch more. I've been loving using my "One of my names is Nemesis" pin and my "The Body in the Library" notebook.
5. Candles - I love a good scented candle and lately my favorite have been candles themed to locations (mostly Disney but there have been others) or books and movies.
6. Dog Training - After an injury at the beginning of the year I've fully gotten back into dog training. I had never really taken a break from teaching but had taken a break from working with my own dog but now that I'm back to 100% I'm back into it and really enjoying it.
6. Trying new restaurants - Lately I've been keeping an eye on opening restaurants and using the Open Table and Resy apps and we've been trying all the new restaurants I can find. I've really enjoyed trying all the new stuff and we've discovered some new favorites.
7. Universal Yums - This is a subscription box that sends you snacks from a specific country every month and it's been so fun. The August box was Indonesia and I really enjoyed most of the snacks though was not a big fan of the drink.
8. Frozen grapes - I love grapes but they always go bad before I finish them so I started freezing them (not a new concept I know) and have
9. Sandwiches of History on YouTube - This guy makes a different sandwich every day from a recipe found from some time in the past. There are some of the strangest combinations and it's so fun to watch. He's got a fun attitude and I always enjoy hearing his thoughts on the creations.
10. Water enchancers - I've been trying to drink more water but it's so boring. I love adding a little drop of flavoring and have had a good time combing different flavors. Mio is my current favorite brand.
What are some of your favorite non-bookish things?
