June Reading List

 I have become such a fan of audible this year – it is truly a great way to read all the books you have been wanting to read, even during those busy periods in your life. 

I love how books can be such an escape from reality and just a really great way to decompress at the end of the day. Probably an unpopular opinion, but I would so much rather read a book than watch a tv show, plus, lets be honest, it is so hard to find a good tv show and so easy to find a good book. If you are looking for a good summer read… here are a few of my most recent reads!

One// Great Big Beautiful Life, by Emily Henry

I have hear so many wonderful things about Emily Henry books, and I am so glad that I finally read one. I love the twist and turn of this book, and of course the inevitable love story. A beautifully written story.

Two// Remarkably Bright Creatures, by Shelby

I have always loved the cover of this book, and it has been on my list of books to read for the past few summers, but I have put off reading it because of the reviews I have heard in my personal circle (very mixed). I have to say, I absolutely loved this book! Just the creative and the storyline is so beautiful. Highly recommend 

Three// All That Life Can Afford, by Emily Everett

This is the type of book that will keep you turning pages and one that you will not want to see end. The journey the main character, Anna, goes on has so many ups and downs. Whether in middle school or sometime during adulthood, I think it is safe to say that we have all been in a position when we have tried to become something we think we should in order to fit into a certain group of people or a certain situation. Anna take this to an entirely different level, but still in a completely relatable way that will keep you turning the pages.

July Goals

 The past year has been crazy… I have had so many obligations in conjunction with my normal obligations that at times things have just felt really, really overwhelming. I think it is fair to say that everyone goes through seasons when the have more going on than other times. I have to admit though, I strongly dislike the feeling of constantly being pulled on… and I am the type of person that feels guilty telling people no when they something… It’s honestly been a pretty stressful year so far.

I thought it would be a good idea to start making a list of goals each month to help me keep in mind what I need to do and prioritize myself a little better. So… here are my goals for July!

Write a blog post everyday

Workout at least three times a week

Read for at least 30 minutes before bed

Stop using my phone at least 10 minutes before I go to bed (so guilty of getting caught in the scroll trap)

Make time to do more things I love

Eat healthier

Do yoga at least twice a week

Journal consistently

Be more consistent in everything I do

Be more organized and write things down in my planner (really does make such a difference)

Stop streaming shows before bed

Prioritize myself

Would love to hear what your monthly goals are!
